Verizon is my absolute mad-lad hero in NJ. All of our towers had Natural Gas generators keeping the towers alive during Hurricane Sandy. I lost power and land-based internet, cellular internet and phone calls were alive and well thanks to t

Longer than the far-too-many sci-books out there predict. I have lived in areas in the US that went without power for a week or longer...and without the ability to make power for at least that long (New Jersey, Hurricane Sandy as one exampl

The article is old...dates back to February of this year. Furthermore, I haven't done digging, but I'm still trying to figure out the difference between what my older vehicles do vs what European cars do. It seems to be related to

I disagree with all of you. Why? I learned in middle school that a 'recession' is defined by multiple consecutive months of GDP shrinkage. That is it. That is why most experts think we are "heading" into a recession with

The fair credit reporting act (FCRA) does not care about 'reasons'. Every company I have dealt with trying to go down that road has found themselves in a rather nasty end. Chex Systems, "WeWork", even a dating site. If y

uh wow. It goes without saying that you should know what the commands do before you run them and should not ask for help and then be hostile when people offer to help.

Thanks (I haven't seen this despite lurking on HN for 'a long time' and interacting with it recently, however, you clearly didn't quote the doc, which says Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces

I intentionally steal nicknames I've seen. I'm an asshole as well, so sometimes it works out. I have 13 different nicknames so far that I use/have used since 1997, though I tend to rotate between all of them regularly. I DO h

iOS is better than you think. allows limited adblocking in Safari, think of it as 'uBlock lite'. Due to limitations regarding size, etc, not everything can be blocked, however, do not track provides a bit more in this sense. Beyon

Apple's ad platform does not track users or their behavior.

uBlock has all the functionality of uMatrix and more, FYI.

A "web app" can be a web app without including crap like this. Policies like these are usually set by sales and management.

This is definitely not a plug, but I'm actually working on an alternative to email, cloud storage, authentication/authorization/sso/etc. solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc. and one of my specific focuses is to allow f

Yes, I ran into this issue after I switched to iOS a couple years ago. Google demanded full permissions to even open the app. I promptly downloaded my image library on the web, and also, related to OP's post, some of my images had arti

This is a fact that hasn't changed since the launch of the PS5, so your point is nonsense. Earlier poster has a very good point, and I'll add to it: Demand, years in, outstrips supply. The most sensible thing for ANY company to do

My dude, it isn't about money. At least not directly. I encourage those of you attempting to block Cloudflare to try and host your own website for a bit. Make sure you don't do it on a metered/paid connection. I know one eCom

Any person/company/thing that uses 1Password needs to take a look around. Bitwarden is where it is at.

Yes, standups are for identifying blockers, issues, etc. or to request help. Reporting on progress is minor and takes very little time and could be done via slack.

let's go. ;) EDIT: down to hang out with anyone that is super chill (and lives close to Nashville). Maybe we can all pick a place downtown to (passively) make fun of those tourist nerds that keep invading.

Do you honestly think Apple does not want you to repair your own device? They would absolutely sh*t kittens to have you buy replacement parts from them! The problem is that smartphones are super complex devices, able to withstand dust, rain

My issue is that: a) You (or bots) keep posting this here. b) You are using an open source library without saying as much. It is fine to share your creation, however at this point it has become spam. Spam where you haven't even credite

The issue to me is cost vs benefit to creators. I do back a few of my favorite Youtubers on Patreon (actually, I pay them each more than I would pay YouTube), however, creators actually receive very little from YouTube Premium subscriptions

You don't need to be a developer for test flight. I am not an iOS developer, but I have installed test flight for access to a few different apps.

Wow thanks for this. Installed Yattee. Already knew about adguard, but Youtube has managed to beat it on occasion.

Bankruptcy does not change your ability to be employed.

You are definitely overstating it. The bank is required to keep records and file paperwork (i.e., inform the IRS) on deposits of over $10,000, but other than that, nothing happens. I regularly receive large deposits from my place of employm

You should have ignored the letter and called a lawyer. Depending on your location, you may have been allowed to keep the money. I had something similar happen before (a much smaller amount, 3 weeks extra pay) and I was able to keep the mon

You can put a label on a USB drive. Amazon also has holders to sell you. Contemplating doing something like that for my Steam collection. Would also like an actual dedicated Windows USB stick.
