Generating card numbers that pass the mod10 (Luhn) check is easy. He figured out how to pass the 3 digit code check. Given that it’s only three or four digits, and that plenty of breached cards are available to hackers, it’s probably not su

$212M quarterly revenue with a $41M loss. In this climate you better have a solid PE as a public company or you’re in deep shit. This is the second dot-com bust. I worked at eToys for the first. $6B market cap and was delisted. Assets sold

P/E is back. Funny how irrational exuberance is seen as a normal market and a return to fundamentals is a financial crisis.

Don’t underestimate the power that Twitter confers on a private owner. It has become the de facto public square for the highest level politicians and executives. It is where embassies, CEOs and presidents publicly squabble. While Instagram

Yes we were working with a company that was doing a great job but barely staying afloat, so I hired some of the team, and the rest had a soft landing. Then built from there. Was a conscious decision to vertically integrate this. Yeah so the

You can do a surprising amount without even going into Fusion inside Resolve. But if we need planar tracking etc it’s there and we’ve done it. Edit: for CG or routine stuff like screen replacement we use a VFX house in Denver but we have do

We use Resolve on a wide range of laptop configs with no issues including M1. Try another computer. I’m guessing the problem is on your end. Or you haven’t tried it since v14. You may also have something installed that is causing the issue.

Our entire production pipeline is Resolve. I’ve been pushing Adobe users to move to Resolve for years, because of the pricing and pace of innovation. We’ve been using a device from SNS for remote collaboration and this release just removed

The challenge with anything above a gig is the LAN. 10gig+ switches and SFP modules are expensive for consumers. So is the client hardware. We use thunderbolt 3 on our macs with ATTO Thunderlink to get 40Gbps locally and they’re kinda the o

If you’re not a ham, try 14.100 mhz to 14.350 and set it to upper sideband. (USB) Also try 7.050 to 7.300 and set to LSB. It’s very busy right now with contesters trying to make as many contacts as they can in a short time.

If you live in the USA you’re ultra wealthy compared to middle class people in many countries. And surprise - they’ll probably really like you when they meet you, and not just because you have electricity, sanitation and running water.
