I started with "As a statistical aside with respect to worker shortages and unemployment in the U.S., here's some BLS data" so yes, very clearly I was being tangential. From the original comment, I was more interested in the

My understanding is that FTP/FTPS is analogous to HTTP/HTTPS but I left FTP for ssh long ago and never looked back.

I would make an important note on FTP: it’s not a secure protocol. The last time I cared about FTP, the recommendation was to move toward SFTP or FTPS for production/public environments for this reason.

I just have some handy advice as another person who doesn't have a Master's degree in the relevant fields. My advice is: - Don't take advice from the comment section, ever. This includes this very sentence. It also includes H

Understood. I admittedly got slightly miffed when the first few replies I received in a short time were conjecture. As an aside, one reply had mentioned plausible deniability… perhaps ‘plausible accusability’ also exists, wherein any hypot

Video tutorials for great for introductions to new subjects of study (at least for me) — they can help provide a good intuition for complicated subjects. At the very least, there are plenty of lectures one can watch and follow along with a

Agree. For me, I always preferred the ‘nub’ present on some laptop models over the trackpad (despite their sad tendency to wear and drift over time).

In your opinion, how important are the lives of people aged 65 and older? Also, for death rates being higher in the elderly... isn't that going to be true for most diseases? Pointing this out seems tautological to me. And what does &qu
