I observed her delivery of a college graduation speech. It was underwhelming.

Right on. This is also what prevents me from using (unmanaged) Vault--not having the time to invest in learning the failure modes and internals, backup and restore strategies, in addition to the best ways to use it for the 5-10 patterns wh

Most folks set up a little proxy--or configure CORS if the other end of the pipe is owned or cooperative--rather than throw out the baby with the bathwater due to inability to disable an important security measure.

The 5-year yield is lower to mitigate the uncertain risk (to the issuer) of paying above-market during years 4 and 5.

For something pressed in the 5mg to 30mg range, it seems very ludicrous a dose indeed.

Grade inflation, look it up. If 3.9 is "OK" your class's grades have compressed to the point of meaninglessness.

Put the car on a Battery Tender. There are quick-connect kits so you can even avoid fiddling with the battery terminals.

If you want to know what the self-driving truly wealthy drive, in the USA it's mostly Jeeps, Chevy Tahoes, and the like. Sometimes a Land Cruiser or an old Benz, preferably a wagon. Standing out in a fancy vehicle like a lottery-winn

Had a B8.5 S4, now a B9 A5 with sports suspension. The power/transmission leave a little something to be desired, but the A5 is otherwise a very nice ride, and not too wallowy for an Audi. I have also a much more powerful sports car

For SSH (+SFTP) you are expected/obligated/etc. to have some way to verify the correct host key. There is no relationship to the clusterfudge of public CAs. Nor are there x509 certs.

The comments attached to this video sure are... interesting. Chemtrails, laser attacks, and more.

Chicken pox can be a rather serious illness. It can be mild--or, it can damage eyesight, put a pregnancy at risk, or merely cause very substantial misery.

Isn't this solely an appeal to emotion? How is facial recognition going to help in this case, where, if the tech were to gain some traction, bad actors would be aware of it and could take easy steps to defeat it? And even if the tech

Doors and locks only keep out the honest people. These use-cases have some political appeal but are absolutely impractical.

Ah, but this too, not quite. If your economy is better than other economies at producing cars, but _far_ better than anyone else at producing microprocessors, it may be rational to produce microprocessors exclusively and import cars. Cf.

Isn't it typical for each economy to export the thing it is best at producing? Also look at Norway--huge petroleum wealth, lots of Teslas because oil is dirty.

And you feel like you understand the warts and pitfalls, suitable to keeping a mission-critical service running once the circuit breakers start to trip, based on 3-8 days of experimentation?

Also incompatible with MAOIs: liver, fava beans, a nice chianti.

I would have expected "name your price" electrician work to be more in the $100-120/hr range in a high-CoL area.

This article is probably not worth reading. There's little point in comparing an in-memory Java stream-based approach against JDBC--without even the intellectual honesty to use something like in-memory SQLite.

They are not even remotely playing in the same league. Zoho's product is a testament to the capabilities of unlimited human resources tasked with building features and stopping exactly at the point where each feature "works.&quot

My impression from a decade in Windows Server and .NET development is exactly the opposite. You may have to do a lot of reading, but the available technical docs have 100x the raw utility of those from Apple and others.

Nor too different from Dale Carnegie.

It's not a problem because Charlie starts by creating three slices of equal-to-Charlie value, and is guaranteed to receive one of those unmolested. If the other two participants value the pieces in some strange way, Charlie has no rig

The choice isn't between using OTR vs. using PGP. It's between using unaudited (but perhaps convenient) commercial software vs. using possibly-audited, offline-friendly (probably inconvenient) PGP to exchange extremely-high-sensi

You seem to be inferring focus on the name of the company more than intended. Is this not closed-source software? Might not it have some weaknesses at any point in its implementation or update mechanisms--by design or inadvertent--that pu

I found it a reasonably constructive reply, because the operation of a "black box" cannot be properly observed, whether or not some of its behavior adheres to a particular contract or protocol.

I didn't vote on your comment, but would opine that it fit the downvote-attracting heuristic of "how freaking stupid we are" + pseudo-thoughtful symbolic algebra + inchoate nerdrage.

Yah, who the heck is turning over their toilets twice a decade? Best guess here is 25 year average service life.
