The people holding the guns are still just people though right? I think the point of these economic pressures is to eventually have those people with the guns turn around and point them on Putin.

Just about any treadmill with arms will do, which is most of them. I use a piece of wood that's meant to be a shelf. I put velcro on the bottom and on the arms of the treadmill then put a laptop stand on the shelf. It takes a bit of ge

While there are some performance differences [1] between TLDs, I don't personally think it should factor very heavily when choosing one. As for reliability, there have been a few ".io" outages and I remember ".club"

Honestly the official Netflix site seems to perform similarly to your implementation in terms of number of files it downloads and the size of files. One thing I found was when emulating mobile screen size I wasn't able to horizontally

I started out thinking the same but doesn't it matter that their devices have always been required to use their cloud service? This seems to be a company pivoting from a free service with an upfront hardware cost to a subscription serv

I've made this mistake, and all it took was opening a support ticket from the root (payer) account to have them update the email address for the sub-account. Did you ask them to do that?

> Is this just a cash grab by the company that took them private? Absolutely. My uninformed ex-Rackspace-employee take is that Apollo Global Management just wants to raise more money to further run the company into the ground.

This article uses arguments like "Large quantities of dietary fat, with the potential to clog arteries in an otherwise average American" so casually I'm guessing most people would be shocked to find out it doesn't have m

I feel like the article is misleading insofar as to omit the material has to also be under extreme pressure to remain a superconductor.

What I feel like all the responses missed is that while you're right in that a password-protected private key provides a second factor... what is typically meant by 2FA is two factors checked by the server. The server has no way to kno

Isn't that paradoxical? That code is for parsing requirements and those requirements can't be parsed until initial pre-requirements (pip, in this case) are installed.

How far does the control go? I've heard this argument a lot and that crucial piece is always missing. In your eyes is the US at a good freedom/control ratio or would you like to see more control over our diets (or drugs) being imp

Are you aware of any boilerplate repos or examples that take this approach? Seemingly every example I've seen assumes Node is the backend. After thinking about it for a second this could be because I've been looking at universal&#

Isn't this problem already solved in the non-tech world through a last will and testament or a bank lockbox which contains passwords you want people to have in the event of your death? I'm not sure it's a perfect solution but

The DDoS tactics may have changed but the initial attack [0] was from all non-Chinese IPs who were visiting Chinese websites. That's what makes this attack so difficult to block -- requests aren't being made from Chinese IPs but r

I agree that monetary loss is a big motivator, however I am still curious (US citizen) as to the political implications of doing nothing as a nation when companies are quite obviously being attack by foreign governments. Normally these kind

All I'm trying to say is that this DDoS is pretty obviously being perpetrated by the PRC. Regardless of the attack vector, isn't this an important global political issue? Most attacks are carried out by fringe groups, and while I&

Why is this not in the mainstream news? Even if it's not the Chinese government directly it's a group with significant power inside China -- so why isn't this being considered a foreign attack on a US company?
