I agree on #2. I burned out and lived off my savings for a while (granted I was fortunate in that I HAD savings), and started biking and working out more to try to accomplish a long-time goal which I had always told myself I didn't ha

I've found many have made the reverse argument, I assume for write-heavy loads. With incoming new UUIDs likely being on different pages, any locking within the DB is likely to be uncontended with a UUID key. Most people's RDBMS

I recently did a domestic wire that only took a few hours to clear. That's the whole point of it all, otherwise I'd be using ACH... Edit On second thought, it might depend on whether the banks on either side of the transaction

On your first bullet point you left out the most ubiquitous 2.4GHZ device of all: The microwave oven. Consumers don't even realize that microwaving popcorn can ruin their netflix streaming (depending on the oven's age and shieldi

Would it be equivalent if my (for example with LastPass) vault required a 2FA token to access, and I simply left the 2FA token at my house? I would in that case similarly be incapable of complying.

Believe it or not, banks often offer a secure money transfer mechanism you can use these days (finally). It only took them over a decade. Google Wallet also works.

I agree about Outlook + Exchange. Plugins exist for thunderbird to integrate but they just don't have the same quality of experience. Simply using outlook is less frustrating for me.

It may depend on where you live. Here in south florida, everyone charges these fees. I tried to find complexes without it, and they don't exist. Sometimes you don't have a choice.

> You can ask hard salary questions beforehand without offending a recruiter. Nothing worse than going through a long process to find out the company expects to pay below-market. This right here is invaluable. When I talk to company recr

It's really just a "countdown to being infuriated." I've had it lapse on me and I had to go back, find the right seats, and repeat literally the entire process all over again. "Give us your money quickly or we&#x27

In the US if taste is your problem put a filter on it. If you don't live in Flint, MI, this should be good enough.

For what it's worth, you can turn off autoplay in about:config.

Wow, I had this very same idea recently, but I'm glad someone is already working on it! One of the other problems with Mint is that despite their claims to the contrary, it's not exactly actively maintained. Do you have a git li

Do you have a source for those percentages? I'm genuinely curious.

Except in my experience cabbies are like "yeah we take credit" and then afterwards "oh my credit card machine is broken, are you sure you don't have cash? I'll drive you to the ATM..." Cabbies want to dodge tha

Likewise - I'm floating around 4 weeks taken in the past 365 most of the time (which is more than any previous employer would give) and I never have any complaints or issues. My boss doesn't say anything and just approves each one

That sounds about right. I married a foreigner - costs $1500 and about 6 months to process the paperwork that lets her stay. I got sticker shock when I first learned that. I've never before seen government fees that high.

I don't know about chrome, but in firefox you can disable autoplay on HTML5 now. It's a bit annoying for watching youtube because it assumes the video is already playing (you have to go click the pause and then click play) but ann

In defense of office parks, I did enjoy living in lower rent/property price areas in the suburbs near an office park. Downtown living (where I am now) is expensive as hell. However, my employer has plopped their new office right in th

I almost feel as though this is at least half of the point of using salts. We're trying to make things slow, so forcing an attacker to crack the same password twice (or more) in cases where it's reused seems beneficial and very c

Not just the extra risk, but often times you are missing out on very significant benefits which you will have to pay for out of pocket if you want them back. In my position, salary is probably about 75% of my compensation, all told. Maybe l

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised. Proxies are precisely one of the reasons the WebSockets protocol has been changed to be such a pain in the ass compared to its original incarnation. I suggest checking out its original proposal and c
