Thanks, I saw the original comment and thought, oh no I just bought some new water wings for my son, and now I can't use them. Luckily I bought the ones you linked and now I know they are coast guard approved. Thank goodness for a wi

Just to add to something I've seen is many places that the Microsoft stack is used open source code is either frowned upon or completely banned. Contributing your (company code) to that is not only against policy but illegal if the co

He was comparing the anonymity and risk factors. You were looking at regulations, which doesn't really work. Drones/Airplanes and Bikes/Cars are two different beasts. If you wanted a real comparison, look at driving an autom

You can't compare the regulations/education on cars to those on airplanes, just like you can't compare the regulations/education on bikes to drones. Airspace is not a road way, it can't be compared to one. I'm

There are also very few regulations on drones, and there are no licenses/permits required to learn the rules in order to fly them. https://www.faa.gov/uas/model_aircraft/

Wouldn't it be more useful for someone to come along and say, "Hey this comment seems to be fairly low quality, do you mind editing it to clarify your opinion so it's easier to understand?" I've actually had this ha

An upvote should actually be more about wanting others to read a substantial comment, a thank you is more personal to me. It means, hey this really touched me in a profound way (which I might even explain) but I want you to know who it aff

I have noticed a few of my comments being down voted because people disagree with them lately. I feel that they qualified as substantial and weren't blatantly incorrect, but weren't what other people were looking for. Downvoting

I'm going to add that it's also really nice for budgeting. If you want 2 people to get on the same budget you have to show the benefits of the budget. Also I don't pay 1/2 my mortgage and my wife pays the other 1/2

I should not have called the article irrelevant, but instead stated that it needs an update to include modern techniques, practices and risk factors. One of his examples in 7.3 User Effort is not Free he mentions the users time in input o

Troy Hunt comments on this. If it's a non-important site that shares a password with another important site that is an attack vector (I'm sure you aren't doing this but many users do). So if you stick to all non-important s

The article definitely needs a (2009) on it. Who knows if it had that would it have drifted up? No point it speculating, but it does need the year tag.

I use my family as my baseline. It is a much easier sell to my family to use LastPass vs 16+ random characters (16 for MSDN). So as a whole I think now it's an issue of education. Yes I know LastPass is controversial, but it is sti
