Schwab forces you to keep at least 6% of it in cash, which is an incredibly bad idea and does do significant damage to your long-term returns. The rumor mill is that this is how Schwab makes profit instead of advisory fees.

CloudFlare had a huge DNS outage yesterday that broke half the Internet for NY/NJ and some other location. Hopefully these lessons teach us that single points of failure are bad.

And I expect Apple will make sure those don't work, just like they did with generic Lightning cables.

No, it doesn't.

Only if the flight is more than 7 days away. And, they make you 'rebook', and as the GP comment said, the fares change on a minute-by-minute basis, so you're probably going to have to pay more.

Pretty sneaky to advertise $159 and not mention the $10 shipping which makes it $169, and KS doesn't even advertise that until you've already clicked through to the 'pledge' (aka purchase, what happened to "Kickstar

Same reason why they added the malfeature to phone home to your carrier and ask permission to color your bits the tethering color; it all ultimately boils down to $.

WF is issuing EMV-enabled debit cards as of yesterday. Just call and ask for one.

Which relies on the flash streaming protocol, so here we are back at square one.

They DO have a standardized submission protocol, you just can't send things to it without a certified client program. They offer a truly free e-file solution (for Federal): https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/#/f

Good job issuing the release in the middle of the night to try to avoid the PR, too. What a trainwreck. Anthem basically passed out identity theft kits, and you can even sort by income to go after the rich ones first! (Why does Anthem know

That's not at all true. Title II means that peering pricing and agreements now fall under the FCC's purview for "reasonableness", which means that the FCC can step in at some future point and make Verizon knock this shit

Title II as written requires that rates be filed with the FCC and approved by the FCC (tariffs & rate regulation, respectively). Last-mile unbundling would force the people who currently run lines into your house to let other providers

The Panopticon approach of "I am entitled to everything about you and your browsing activity because I technically CAN get it" is very troublesome and I'm glad that µblock takes a small step to revert that. If some guy follow

I'd guess it may have been for PowerTalk (Apple's ill-fated groupware/collaboration system), and that they were offering a free digital cert to sign/encrypt email.

The distro developers likely all 'chose' systemd because they were forced to to continue using GNOME, which is the experience people expect as end-users on Linux.

Probably because that's the way the Internet worked before the Big Media companies infested it and started the process of turning into Cable TV 2.0.

They claim the opt-out is stored on their servers and associated with the uid (implying that the optout=1 cookie isn't necessary)
