It really comes down to what your goals are. Are you riding centuries on a regular basis? Yup, $3000. Are you just out riding to get some fresh air, sunshine, and exercise? $500 is plenty. It's heavy? I am only riding twenty miles. Oh,

For internet, in my town, you choose between Verizon and Comcast. The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Verizon FiOS is excellent as far as connectivity, but as a corporation, they suck.

You can never be to certain what other people are dealing with outside of work. Sometimes, management knows things that they are not at liberty to share.

And I have to wonder if that is what happened in this case.

See my other post about the local kid kicking in front doors. Also, other than "high security" locks, it is easier to bump a lock than it is to get a duplicate key. Most people have mid grade entry sets on their house. Anybody can

Twenty years ago we had a Boy Scout in the neighborhood that was kicking front doors in and doing snatch and run burglaries, purses, cameras (phones weren't a thing yet). Mid day. Do you know how loud that had to be? Most people lost m

It makes me think of military contracting as a parallel example. (at least in the USA) The rules required to develop, build, and deliver military equipment to the US is exceedingly complex. And it isn't necessarily a benefit for the Pe

Maybe for media, crypto, things like that, but we all have the source for the C-standard libaries, and there is not all that much assembly in there given the size of the code base. Certainly you have required architecture instructions for t

One of the reasons most criminals get caught, is because they think they are smarter than all other criminals, and only the stupid ones get caught. No criminal thinks they are stupid. The ones that don't get caught are typically full o

Where do you slot device drivers in that hierarchy?

I like your idea of having a time period based on how long you've continually held it, in a paid up fashion. But even that should be capped to some reasonable time scale, like 90 to 120 days.

More than that, I find moderately sized 'git' diffs in PRs to be unreadable. I frequently have to open the full code block to see what is taking place in the source. Commit messages provide intent, and should reference the origina

Comments and commit messages both matter. For different reasons. Comments are often wrong, for the wrong reasons. People that change code, but don't update the comments to reflect the code change are evil. But then, people that put to

My son and I were both long time Windows Phone users. It never gained the public acceptance required to survive, but I don't know anyone that used it for any length of time, that does not miss it. The UI was very intuitive and it just

Just as long as, being Zappos, if you sell through Amazon, expect Amazon branded shoes a couple months to years down the road.

It makes me think of the small companies that completely outsource their hardware design and construction to Shenzhen, that are later shocked, shocked I tell you, to find the product on Alibaba for pennies on the dollar. Under about twelve

Live by the sword die by the sword. A lot of small businesses got their start by leveraging the ubiquity of Amazon. Far cheaper than trying to roll your own services and also got a large set of eyes on their product. Which is great until Am

There might be a lot of BS content, but there are also some gems. It is sort of like the Web at large, really. Turn up your BS filter and let it roll.

I imagine you used cflow and dot I have done the same and it totally saved my ass on legacy code that I was tasked with extending or fixing. I just pumped the output of dot to a static web page. It was awesome. Also, I rendered the entire g

Commercial for profit prisons are a huge problem. Huge. There is a whole lot of sentencing and prison reform that needs to be taking place, particularly for non-violent crimes.

The most powerful thing civilians could do, but it would require nearly 100% participation, is just stop working. Everyone, everywhere. It would be painful, but nothing strong comes without pain.

We also use an HSM. Smart cards are held by two separate people, each card set is different. Both have to be present to restart the HSM. Our HSM can require up to five different cards be required for certain operations. For us, we only requ

I was thinking the 'attention grabbing' side as well. Maybe their resources and funding were so borked they decided to throw a hail mary and hope for the best.

It is a bummer, but they messed up. Is it possible they were under financial duress anyway and were looking for attention grabbing move to garner support? I don't understand it, and I find it hard to believe that their legal counsel gr

Any relatively cheap (like $300) laptop is going to kick any RPi to the curb. And that gets you the display, the keyboard, the touchpad, and storage, all in the base price. And no screwing around.
