What's the enforcement mechanism for including the root certs? As far as I know, there is no web browser that is sold for money. That means that if you're Apple or Google, you can spin off a company that has no presence in the E

I suppose the MTA can always handle traffic enforcement. That's how congesting charging is going to work. At this point, I'm convinced that most reckless driving you see in the city is the NYPD on their way to work. (Never forg

I don't think you should feel safe just because you have 2FA enabled. Local malware can wait until the next time you have to provide your second factor, and then use it to disable 2FA, etc. My main takeaway from looking at some of the

The key is to use the USB cable itself as the heating element in the boiler.

The source code of the actions is in your repo. This is more of the problem of relying on proprietary software; if the company that makes it dies, you die too!

I think you can see how big the actual problem is when looking at how solved the problem is. Since the problem isn't solved and life goes on, it's probably not a huge deal. (Bed bugs are probably similar. They really freak peop

Yeah, I agree with that. I think that power savings are a big priority for datacenters these days, so perhaps as more efficient chips go into production, the feasibility of "self-contained" servers increases. I could serve a lot

I wonder why we don't put battery backups in each server/switch/etc. Basically, just be a laptop in each 1U rack space instead of a desktop. Sure, you can't have much runtime, but if you got like 15 minutes for each dev

Maybe this is all a subtle push to get a cargo bike to move your kids and possessions around. I saw someone get a Christmas tree on one and then take their kids to get ride-thru hot chocolate. It's the new future!

I agree with you completely. I enjoy it more when I know how it's done but don't notice it myself. Kind of like woodworking where someone patches a hole in the wood and you don't notice it, but they point it out anyway. Wi

I didn't invite the comparison. The comment I was replying to said to buy this exact model of computer instead of a Raspberry Pi 5.

I think it would be neat if you could take a picture of a restaurant menu or food item, and then tell me if that's spicy. As other comments mention, maybe you can't read Korean or whatever, and this would kind of combine Google T

Yeah, you don't have to spend it. Save it and retire early. Donate it all to a charity you believe in. Send your kids to the best school. Buy a nice home. Travel the world. The high salary only allows more options, it doesn'

Electricity is something you have to pay for for always-on computers: Prodesk G3: 24 hours * 365 days * 35W * 1000W/kW * $0.30/kWh = $91 Raspberry Pi 5: 24 hours * 365 days * 12W * 1000W/kW * $0.30/kWh = $31 It's li

They don't really show any of the settings they used, but for traces, I imagine if you have a reasonable sampling rate, then you aren't going to be running any code for most requests, so it won't increase latency. (Looking a

I think the hiring away is a valuable tool for individual contributors. If you know how to do something that your current employer doesn't value as much as another employer, you should be free to go elsewhere. It's a check and b

Yup. Having been on this side of the fraud business, I empathize with the OP but will definitely defend overly-aggressive fraud systems. As you make more money, it's less of an impact on your business, and you can tone them down. Bu

I don't know how the numbers break down, but plenty of people that buy credit card numbers are happy to orchestrate a scheme to ship packages to the US and have someone forward them to the scammer. Or steal them off your porch. It is

The legal limit is 9g per 30 days, and the recommended dose is 7.2g per 30 days (=240mg/day). So if both parents take the maximum dose, there is none for the kids. (3 people would need 21.6g; both parents together could buy 18g.) Per
