Because they are very much blinded by buzzwords, and want to look like they're "with it" by choosing whatever seems the most advanced even if it would actually detract from the job at hand.

It's not bad, but requirements and usage methods have changed, and the software hasn't. It's fair to update or replace software in such a situation, so long as the new/updated system meets the actual needs of its users a

That low-pay job in the Rust Belt probably comes with a better cost-of-living than a $150k job in San Francisco. Don't knock the inlands with coastal elitism thanks.

About 80% to 90% of reports would state it was operator error on the part of one or more of the drivers involved. Cars are pretty safe when people aren't drooling, lead-footed maniacs.

As a resident of the GTA, I wish Sidewalk Labs would just take a hike into the lake already. There's no way I'd go into any neighbourhood they've big-brothered up knowingly and willingly.

That's if you land face first into the water. If you land any other way, your face will probably stay dry.

Read again. He's comparing newer LED bulbs to the older, yellowed ones he was already using.

And it doesn't even have to be users in the signed-up sense if you simply have access logging turned on for your web server; 50k unique IPs would be enough.

No, just once you reach 50k visitors to your site.

Except that revenue limit is just one term of an OR clause. If you hit any of those three listed points, CCPA comes down on you. No revenue at all but 50k unique visitors, and it applies.

If you're an Amiga user, Google is now dead to you. As far as I can tell, none of the browsers available for the Amiga platform support JavaScript.

Yep. I've never had to demonstrate that my devices are real at the security checkpoints getting into airports, I just put them in the trays and the X-ray scanners tell the agents that they're safe. Now, dealing with the customs&#x

That's what I do. Anything that I think would cause me problems coming back into Canada gets pushed to the cloud while I'm still out of country, then deleted from my devices. Next, I log out/disconnect from my cloud services

Firefox extensions _used_ to offer much more access and control of the browser, but they've since switched to a Chrome-like model that isn't near feature parity with Chrome. It was a huge step back.

PostScript at least has the excuse that it _is_ a programming language (for assembling documents for printing, but still a proper programming language) while PDF is supposed to be a fixed document format. PDF has far too much power for what
