Thanks for the reminder to finish switching my accounts over to Fastmail. There are too many of these stories to trust google. There’s also something nice about having a financial relationship with a company providing you a service, rather

I hear you on not wanting the advice of others. I've also heard the flip side - where people had lived with pain for so long then somebody (my partner is a physical therapist) tells them something or teaches them something that changes

Wolves do relatively little predation of livestock. https://www.humanesociety.org/sites/default/files/docs/HSUS-... I’ve also seen it said that wolf populations do two positive things for livestock: keep

Excellent! I've never though it made much sense to tie compensation so tightly to geography. If I'm providing enough value for you to pay me $X, and I move somewhere cheaper but provide the same value, you'll either pay me $X

I don't think the type of person that forgets to register is the type to reliably show up at the polls, so I doubt this is going to have a big effect.

So would using an adblocker, or any extension for that matter, also be a violation? Another point: If you put your content up for public viewing, you're implicitly allowing people to download the material as that's what browsers d

Pretty certain any type of engineering is a good bet. But you wouldn't have trouble finding an engineering job with just an undergraduate degree (possible exception of CS since there are not many junior roles).

No. Again, you can have a monopoly and not be breaking any laws. Being a monopoly is not illegal. Being an uncompetitive monopoly is. [1] But it is also illegal to engage in anti competitive behavior even if you don’t have a literal monopol

Not all monopolies are unlawful, and not all laws regarding anti trust require a monopoly.

This seems reasonable? Raspberry Pi is only successful because of the community around it. If you have a product that depends on community service engagement, you don’t do things that damage your community support. This take was so wrong th

Jira is amongst the most popular workflow / ticketing systems. Probably number one. Bitbucket is top 3 git hosts. Confluence is one of the best wiki/knowledge base products. They also have some other products I’m less familiar wit

What internet were you a part of? We banned trolls, nazis, and conspiracy theorists all the time on early Internet forums and irc channels. It’s only in recent years that this behavior has been tolerated on large platforms. The fact is that

My workplace uses a lot of serverless features on AWS - Lambdas, SWF, SQS, API gateway, as well as auto scaling instances on ec2/eb. Some of it’s nice. Most of it isn’t. Here are the pros: it’s great for quickly scaling up or down, and

Interesting points to note: 1) This declaration was made at a conference on economics. That makes the motivations seem like they are economic in nature, not driven by medical motivations. 2) It isn't clear to me that these doctors are

I only skimmed that page you linked, because I was looking for the bit that mentions that people can spend years in jail awaiting trial. We’ve had more than a few stories of this happening at Rikers island, only for charges to be dropped al

Don’t be daft. You weren’t peeking in his window or at his back door, and you didn’t do that to a thousand houses. If you think this is acceptable, I dare you to go around the nearest city to you and start checking all the windows and doors

The US. And a big city where such behavior will end badly for you. The general rule is not to fuck with other people.

If you walk around town looking in every window, you’re probably not gonna have a good time when you get detained or shot. Let’s not pretend like there are legitimate use cases for scanning ports of networks you don’t control.

by grumple 6y ago
Scanning for open ports on other peoples networks? How is that different from casing a house for entrances? It’s behavior only two types of people would have: criminals and security professionals.

There is a fundamental difference which is that none of those auth methods require you to provide photos, government id, real names, real birthdays, etc. Facebook does. If they spun out their auth as a separate service and didn’t require ha

Critically, as an Apple Watch owner, if I want to buy a different phone I will lose access to my watch. Which is the situation I’m actually in right now. I hope it’s clear why this is anticompetitive. The watch has been a disappointment any

Correlation might not prove causation (is anything in economics proveable?) but it does strongly suggest a relationship. It doesn’t take fanciful thinking to theorize a relationship here. It might be that both greater numbers of lawyers and

Just as an FYI, I've run into browser compatibility issues when using grid. It's been a while since I worked on that project, so hopefully mobile / edge / safari / chrome / firefox are all on the same page now,
