This saved me during my big scare about a year ago when I suddenly found myself locked out of an important account with no way to get back in (phone number was old and inaccessible). The password was fine, they just didn't believe it w

A big plus one to Fastmail (no economic link, just happy customer). I use the apple apps to access. I've never actually had any problem but I have confidence if I ever do, it will be solved quickly and painlessly by a human who cares b

The quotes around "temporarily" are editorialising, IMO. They should be removed. No fan of Binance but it's a reasonable explanation and submitter has given no reason to think it is not, indeed, a temporary situation, as has

Quite so. I think the problem is that anyone whose accomplishments and personal journey I respect enough to consider them qualified in any way to be giving out advice... probably isn't selling their precious time by the hour working as

I think it depends on the country and the viability of any sort of attack on the person as an enterprise likely to produce profit. In countries known for their lawlessness, perhaps Brazil for example, or Papua New Guinea, HNW people do inde

> Go called a low level high performance language Ah yeah, was generalising somewhat. You're right, it's perhaps a "mid" level language. Maybe even high level in areas it is intended for, such as channel tooling, etc.

The funny thing is that I basically agree with you 100%. I constantly rail against, and mercilessly tease, companies building with microservices from day 1 or going with low-level high-performance languages like golang or rust before they e

Sigh. As an old Rails hand myself - hell, I credit Rails for much of my tech career - I think I now have to disagree. Rails is great, indeed the best, for its use case, which is CRUD apps. That might still be enough. But what is expected of

Obviously photography as a whole has never been bigger and still growing. The vast majority of it on smartphones, which the industry, especially Apple, has pushed to incredible levels of quality. But I'd say "serious photography&q

You forget that Russia controls the ingress end of the pipelines. They could, and IMO almost certainly did, simply send maintenance "pigs" [1] laden with explosives and a timer down 3 of the 4 lines. No submarines necessary, they
