The amount of "yep, I know" I have to do any time anything goes down... at least Sales usually only has one person report it to me, other teams 3 different people will tell me at the same time...

It's not that you ignore them. But your first step if someone makes a mistake should not be to fire them. Maybe they need some coaching, maybe they have too much access or authority, but everyone makes mistakes. The key is whether or n

At a $job, I took down prod once and restored it twice after the database got emptied. Well, we didn't quite empty it - I imported an old dump into prod instead of a test database while trying to replicate an issue. My coworker, on the

Pretty much this. I have no problem with people watching Netflix or checking their email, or whatever. If it's not likely to create security problems for us - or at least, we already accept any security problems it has (as is the case

Sure, sex and year of birth alone are fine. Why do you assume they won't be able to use the medical data to further de-anonymize it? "Male, 1993, records are from a hospital in Central Texas so he lives there, who has posted on so

Well, more accurately, the allegation is that he didn't even tell the tax man how much he owed: he never filed, despite being required to file. The others all file, they just recognize very little income and make sure to recognize enou

I think it's highly unlikely that this was a "consumer" drone. (But there are definitely "professional" drones that have longer flight times)

by jfrunyon 5y ago
Agreed. But for a completely different reason. This drone "violated restricted airspaces – including those of an Air Force base", not to mention the involvement of the CBP and local law enforcement, but I don't see any mentio

The original filename is optional in gzip. It is not included in the response sent by, for example, Apache. (There is a mandatory MTIME which is included, and an OS byte, but those only waste 5 bytes total. Far less than gzip will typically

There is no single max total URL length. You probably shouldn't enforce one other than to prevent DoS.

Okay. Again. How much bandwidth do you think it takes?!?!?! You do realize that 3MB/s is TWENTY FOUR Mbps, i.e. over 6 times Zoom's requirement for 1080p, right? Even 10Mbps upload is enough for at LEAST two video calls.

Latency is not the same as bandwidth.

Okay but latency is not dependent upon bandwidth unless you're filling your bandwidth. The OP talked about bandwidth, not latency.
