Well no, not really. Fuel (or really, oil) is a single commodity that everybody is after. If the price is low, and you're anticipating a shortage in the near future, you can buy now and sell later for a higher price. That's as sim

Any idea why Bitwarden insist on their installation ID generation for self hosted deployments? it strikes me as unusual, as it's not documented WHY it's necessary, or what the ID is used for, only that you're required to give

This is pretty well documented in business law. former employee transfers to competitor, takes clientele with them. https://www.acumenbusinesslaw.co.uk/2018/07/23/a-former-empl...

"protection" would include deleting once no longer required, does it not? Can't lose something you don't have in the first place.

Is not using the shipping address for any other reason than shipping an order really that much more effort? Sure, protecting that information is more effort, but you should be doing that already, right? not just from a GDPR perspective but

5G is the next generation of mobile connectivity. I can't list all of the detailed changes off the top of my head, but some of the biggest changes I'm aware of are; The use of a different radio band, therefore less contention in t

Absolutely. Meanwhile, we live in a world where VPNs are sold to the casual user while critical systems are left on internet facing networks. I've never understood why, if these critical systems need remote access, it's not all do

Because it's a public server, which means Discord feel it reflects on them as a business to be hosting hostile communities. You can say whatever you want in a closed, private discord group. Discord isn't going to care if it's

Yes, but I don't need the store to be online and supported to access my physical copy of an offline game. At least there's a chance I can continue playing if/when the store gets taken down. Look at every retro console - their

Except I don't need the console's digital store to be online and active to be able to play a physical copy of an offline game. Agreed, it's not a perfect system, but it's not exactly the same as the Apple app store - the

I feel like that's an interesting approach though. My PS4 sits idle most of the time, the rest of the time it's playing a bluray movie. only fractionally ever playing a game on it nowadays. I guess the sales numbers will tell the

Absolutely, not saying it's a perfect system. But at least I can go to GameStop, or even Amazon (lol), and buy a physical copy instead of having to go to the console specific digital store to buy and download it. At least if the digita

I feel like that falls under "changes between versions". Agreed, it's not as bad as it used to be. Android needed developer mode, iOS needed the device to be registered as a test device.

At least with a console you have the option of buying a physical copy of the game and loading it onto the device, compared to mobile where you need to enable developer mode in order to load apps from alternate sources (and even then, it&#x2

And when they declare bankruptcy because they can't pay back the loan with interest? Payment upon delivery is how most business-to-business purchases work. You agree a cost, deliver the item, then get paid. Being paid before delivery g

Interesting corner case that I can't say I've ever seen before. fstream is a bit of a mess. Even the documentation for close is a bit contradictory. Its exception safety states that an exception is caught and rethrown after closin

I think there's a lot of merit to this post, but it really shows its age. Modern C++ typically suffers from only the last point raised - exceptions during destruction, but that goes against the all good C++ practices. Overall, the auth
