Nope. Many places will still require a physical signature on a scanned document. Why? Because on their end, they print it back out and keep a physical copy. That is their workflow. Many offices are still paper based. Even at my work, we use

That still doesn’t mean it has any shielding. It’s being sold as a case, not a computer, so it doesn’t need FCC certification. If you want to, you can 3D print it yourself. And the cover is a clear piece of plastic. This isn’t a well shield

They don't, but it's hard to crack down on. The only way for Amazon to know is if the people who get the gift card notify Amazon, which isn't likely to happen. Here's a story about how Amazon banned a popular battery&#x2

I've been thinking the same thing... all of this has been done before, and will be done again. With LDAP and Kerberos, many of these workflows were possible decades ago. But having servers connected to a centralized auth infrastructure

In this form factor, the use of laptop grade parts is quite common. So, if you want a small PC, then you’re already going to be comfortable with this level of performance. In this case, reuse of a framework main board is a great option.

I was guessing that they kept using Capistrano because it still worked. No need to change something that’s working… (Somewhat of an ironic comment when talking about an article about ditching K8s…)

by mbreese 4y ago
Honestly, the same could have been said about K8s when it was started too. There’s nothing wrong with multiple projects in a space. It’s a big market with different niches.

The FDIC take over only happened after the massive amount of withdrawals/bank run the day before. Which is the nuance in the above statements... they had assets, but after selling what they could to meet immediate withdrawal obligation

Bonds that are HTM would have been profitable. They just weren't sellable for a profit on the open market (at the time they needed to sell them), because their yield was too low. So, as far as I have read, it wasn't until there wa

Really, if they delete the org data and images can’t be updated, it might just be better to delete them all just to avoid these inevitable issues (maybe with a longer delay). Just rip the band-aid off and be done with it.

I’ve done this the opposite way round, using a cheap USB C capture dongle from Amazon to capture output from an RPi and then using my a Mac as a virtual screen for the RPi. I do this occasionally when I need to setup something but don’t wan

This all especially true given the expected time frame a heat pump is supposed to have. No one wants to spend $14,000 for a paper weight. Whether that’s because the software disappears, spare parts can’t be found, or it’s impossible to serv

FDIC just took over a failing bank and wants to spin it out quickly. To do that, you need to know where the bodies are buried. With that in mind, it’s better to keep the existing people in place for as long as possible. Remember, this is a

Solvent relative to the maturity date on the bonds though, right? If you need a closer date (because you need to fulfill customer cash flow requests), then solvent plus illiquid can become insolvent quickly.

It’s cash, until the bank converts it to something else. For example a loan. Yes, it is initially cash. But if the bank wants to make any money, it needs to convert that cash into some other vehicle for generating interest.

They aren't loaning money to the startups (well, mostly). They handled the banking. This current problem has nothing to do with their clientele, it has to do with long term bonds. They sell banking services to startups... all companies

IIRC, that's not how the FDIC capping works. It's a unique((account_owner, account_type)) operation, not just by total number of accounts. The "account_owner" can get a little creative, but by and large, just splitting a

But that’s a problem in and of itself… you don’t want to have 40 different keys that all prove that the bearer is “you”. Instead of having one thing to a worry about losing, you now have to worry about 40? And any of them would authenticate

The point isn’t how to secure the CA’s private key. The point is that this is a separate system that is probably easier to secure. Physically, it’s probably in a data center. If you want to, you could have the CA key loaded into memory at b

Not that I know of, it’s just good practice to separate services like this (even if it can be more expensive and logistically difficult).

So, in the magnet-less design, are they saying that you are more efficient because your motor won't pull away energy/speed when not powered? As opposed to a permanent-magnet design, where you have to constantly add energy to maint
