Files are encrypted when sent and you need that key and metadata to retrieve the file. So how do you back that up if you are trying to prevent catastrophic data loss? You need a particular file to retrieve data, what do you do about that fi

Business owners happy to get a payday, banks happy to loan money to a successful business. PE firms happy to be a middleman.

That is an individual effort. Reducing one's sleep can be done. There are processes to do it. You have to make your subconscious more efficient at processing. During sleep your mind makes subconscious connections and processes events o

I totally see the value in this, but the tools that do each individual component are very sophisticated. Either you rebuild all that functionality, or you strip them down, or you just have them work together. We are all in the third phase b

The main issue I see is ease of MITM for corporate environments. In a corporate environment a trusted root is installed, then an appliance can intercept all SSL certs and re-create the trust chain to introduce their own trusted root so they

A part of their success was timing. When they came out I didnt know of anything else that could allow you to store JSON objects and do queries on them. Just that ability was a big deal. I believe the mainstream alternatives was to serialize

Yes Trump was not very establishment. I have to think in the really high circles he was known more as a flashy con-man.

Activity streams are such a common use case. It is very interesting that Soundcloud chose to do something different: https://developers.soundcloud.com/blog/roshi-a-crdt-system-f... Assembling the inbox on demand is qui

Thanks, I will check it out. Not sure I will be happy with Windows 10 in comparison to OSX but still worth trying out.

The Indian and Japanese versions were the same, but in India they pretended to have a motorcade.

My dad is technically illiterate but all he needs is a web browser so I got him a Chromebook. It is more than enough for most people and if Google can keep it malware free it is a big accomplishment.

Yeah at this point I would need a replacement for OSX and for the touchpad to be able to go away from a Mac. I can live with their other issues for the benefits of their trackpads and an operating system backed by Unix

I also do this. I used optical4less and highly recommend it. I got high quality mineral glass lenses and they were great. Can't go back to polycarbonate after those.

Now that people are figuring out how to do this in Rust things should get a lot better.

The bad experiences we have had with docker have been from devicemapper bugs. Since devicemapper is part of the linux kernel I can't exactly blame docker. We really need a (limited) multi-host solution and have been using rancher.

Unless you are buying spring water, all bottled water and soda water is just RO water with something added back. RO water is as pure as it gets. There are many discussions about RO but if you think about it, the quantity of salts is so min

Actually me and my wife went through approx 1 gallon per day, not 1 gallon per person, so approx 0.5 gal per day per person. We use an RO filter, provides amazing taste.

$1 for enough bottled water for a month? Where did you get that number from? We were living away from our home (and water filter) for a few months and bought the cheapest bottled water we could. It was $1 per gallon. Where is this magical b

Makes a whole lot more sense to maintain separate filters for drinking water. How can we expect our toilet and shower water to be the same quality as drinking water. A filter for drinking water makes a lot more sense.

This is the best answer. Even in a place like Flint, it would be so much cheaper to put a top of the line whole house filter in each house rather than some of the crazy things they were doing like bringing in bottled water.

Just get a high quality filter. I bought an RO and love it but there are other high quality filters out there.

A lot of it must have to do with patents. I am just addicted to the quality of the MBP touchpad. I don't think I could use another laptop now. Plus the nice-to-haves like the magnetic power plug so you don't have to worry about tr

This is interesting in there: Getty was found by this Court to have violated 17 U.S.C. § 1202 within the last 3 years, and ordered to pay over $1 million in damages. Because Getty has already had a final judgment entered against it by this

Yes that two sentence summary does not even mention that Pakistan was invading, instead it says "local revolt" and it does not mention that India went to the UN instead of settling matters with their military strength which would
