Yes; this. I also have no idea how other people pay any bills without a system like this.

I hope this answers your questions: 1. I want to move the money around so I don't spend it and I know I have enough to pay my bills. I don't want to see $1,000 and think "I'm going to spend that". Similarly, I do

I'm in the same boat. In a world before I found Simple, a spreadsheet with all of my monthly expenses and totals for each account transfer I needed to do was good enough. I can't get myself to see the additional value of mvelope

I'm a Simple customer and incredibly upset by this decision. For those not familiar with their value add, Simple is essentially "envelope budgeting" built into a banking application. Sure, it's a bank and does bank thi

Below is a link to the existing, published study. There's no date on it, so it's uncertain if this is the updated study that the article mentions will be released tomorrow or if it's a previous one. https://ij.org

Also note that CARP, VRRP, HSRP, and GLBP are all layer 3 load balancing protocols (that rely on layer 2 magic to work) whereas this is a layer 4 load balancer. Meaning I can connect to a single IP and a single port (80) and get consistent

I like the Suntory Toki a lot (different flavor than Yamazaki 12 or Suntory Habiki 17). You can find it at a lot of Costco stores (state dependent), BevMo!, etc for around $40 a bottle.

Same here. I have developed a few dissectors for Wireshark and monitoring tools on top of libpcap and find it immensely useful. I did a writeup of "Troubleshooting TCP Throughput" that involves Wireshark here: http://

From a signal standpoint, checkout frequency hopping techniques for jam resistant communications. Specifically, Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) for VHF nets. Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) provides similar a

You're absolutely correct (more specifically when it comes to near-peer adversaries). Depending on the threats that we're facing, LEO satellites can be a huge asset even though they're vulnerable.

Among the quest for the "perfect radio" and making things smaller/lighter/better is the concept of Netted Iridium. Units around the world are often using Netted Iridium as an alternative to traditional radios: https:&#

Radio guts, hardware cryptography modules, power amplifiers, and batteries. They've shrunk over time but still aren't small. When I first joined the Marine Corps, we had ground radios for each of the major spectrums: HF, VHF, an

Seriously? I'd recommend doing some more research before making that claim. Your example in a later comment speaks to the area of Privilege Separation, discussed (and implemented) ad nauseam throughout nearly every application that i

There actually is a form. It's called a Joint Tactical Airstrike Request (JTAR). That request is put through the appropriate approval process and then added to the Air Tasking Order (ATO) cycle that allocates aircraft and munitions t

Sounds like a great idea and wish you the best of luck. I'd love to hear your thoughts after the sessions. The restriction on "no pitches" makes sense in that context since it's a pay-it-forward/advice style forum

Societies are fallible because they are representative of man. We agree on the statement that data is not 100% secure on Apple devices. Only a fool believes that any data is truly secure.

I didn't catch that, thanks for point it out. Like another commenter said: this seems to be an in-place upgrade which is not advisable for major PostgreSQL versions. Additionally, it looks like this involves restarting the cluster (d

The whole thing is not a charade, but you're missing the point of it all. The FBI is trying to set legal precedent. If the FBI were trying to simply get data off the phone, they would've given it to the NSA. "doing business

This is a good point on a number of fronts. A key take away with this is that startups need to understand how to properly register their businesses to get maximum traction. SEO isn't everything. Things like Dunn & Bradstreet are
