Same thing mobile providers do. E.g. the phone is pretty reasonably priced but things like car charging cables, cases, etc are marked up 10x. They are relying on people not really looking at the cost of the accessories and/or immediate

This is an issue that something like openbsd's pledge can prevent. No reason for the MySQL client to be able to read arbitrary files on the system. https://man.openbsd.org/pledge

Photos, videos... Yeah I used to save that stuff. I realized I never looked at it again. So I just stopped. I literally don't worry about losing data at home. Work is different of course.

Hmm not that I remember. Maybe if it hit the end of the season? Though it's actually been a while, at some point last year I felt like I'd run through all the interesting content on Netflix. Now I do the same thing on YouTube.

About hours watched, did you somehow account for viewers like me who start a show, promptly fall asleep, and the episodes play all night.

If you have 4TB of data saved at home you are a hoarder. Why do you have that much stuff. I don't have any data at home that I would miss very much if I lost it.

I guess I didn't realize just how many people out there are seeking anyone who knows even a little more than they do. They don't care if that person has 25 years or 25 minutes more education than they do. They only care if they c

The ones finding the customers. The ones staffing the help desk and providing support to users. The ones writing good user documentation or making how-to videos about using the software.

"Has to?" What do you do, and why do you have no other options?

Mouth cancer though. Horrible stuff.

Yes but alcohol has been widely used by people since before there really were any laws at all. It's deeply established in social rituals, religion, etc. So it has been normalized for millennia. You can create policy to try to control n

Not just the cloud. Any internet connected system, whether in the cloud or on-premises, is vulnerable to intrusion, data breaches, etc. The only system that would be somewhat trustworthy would be a totally air-gapped internal system. This u

Even a service without nefarious goals can have a breach. The biggest companies that devote huge teams of people to preventing them still have them. Can happen to anyone.

My boss always writes MicroSoft. I think at one point the company did spell their name that way, so maybe he just got used to it from that time.

Standard Oil was never a literal monopoly, there was always some competition. They had about 90% of the market at their peak, and it was down to about 70% when they were broken up. True monopolies, e.g. Bell Telephone, local cable franchise

The drug approach is pushed by the pharma industry of course, exploiting the natural appeal of the idea that one can just take a pill to fix a problem that is as complicated as addiction. Doctors prescribe these because they (probably right

This was a destroyer though. Pretty small compared to a battleship or a carrier. Not really a high prestige command.

Couldn't "find" one? Wouldn't they just order someone to fill the position? I didn't realize that postings in the Navy were optional assignments. Maybe they are for enlisted crew positions?

States and localities can regulate dumping in their jurisdictions. No need to have the Federal government involved.

Or because the number of Oracle/MS SQL Server installations dwarf Postgres in the real world?

Agree. In my experience, the top results in Google and DDG are usually the same. Sometimes in a slightly different order.

Right. It's OK to spy on everyone except the homeless and vagrants, because that might be offensive.

They do both. I pay the city per container to pick up my trash. They also run a relentless "reduce, reuse, recycle" campaign.

What he means is the guilt trip laid on people who don't recycle. When I was a kid there was no recycling. Everything (except returnable beverage or milk bottles) went in the trash. Now, the expectation is that you will sort your garba

You may hit a roadblock as the sales contract may require that any inspection be performed by a "licensed home inspector" not a general contractor. Its just another siphon in the residential real estate pipeline.

I say it's usually good. I think government is usually the most expensive, highest overhead, least competent, and lowest quality way to get anything done.
