My wife has the latest Pro Max. I have a mini. I also have one of the latest Canon mirrorlesses and pounds and pounds of lenses. Give me my setup any day, but I'm looking at it for what I love to do - wildlife, sports, cityscapes. I

I have three cameras that I use - a Canon R5, Canon FT QL, and a Zenza Bronica S2A. The first one is a joy for many reasons and I use it for the things the later two can't do very well - action and very low light. However, the later t

Yeah, I do wildlife photography as a hobby. Cellphone cameras will never catch up, especially bird photography. That 100-400 lens will bring subjects 1/4 mile+ away right in front of you in great detail. Software can't make up

Yeah, I was vehemently anti-mirrorless until maybe just like 6 weeks ago. I tried to use every reason to stick with the latest Canon DSLR, but there are just too many advantages with the mirrorless R5. And a lot of advantages are the compu

I was vehemently anti-mirrorless up until maybe a few months ago. I went on a big wildlife trip and realized I had to finally upgrade my Canon 70D. The first thought was to jump to a 90D, but I had to review what mirrorless options were. I

The viewfinders in mirrorless (at least in Canons) are all electronic. I know, it sounds weird, I know it sucks up battery life, I know there are concerns about lag. However, I resisted them for a long time until I actually used one. They

My most used laptop is still my 2015 MBP, the last generation with that stupid touchbar. It does Docker great, which is mostly what I need. The fan whirls almost constantly when I do a docker start, but so far, no issues. I have a newer

If the end result is getting to chat with a human, that's fine. But so many of these are just a different interface to search the FAQs, and the end result is to link to the FAQs. That's useless.

Cramer tells everyone to buy, everyone buys. Price goes up, then smart people cash out in the profit taking. It doesn't matter what the recommendation is after that buy. Cramer can tell you to sit in a dark closet and fart for the r

That analysis shows his best performance is 1-day recommendations. How is that just not a plain simple pump and dump like crypto traders do?

Any chance this scuttles long term plans that Meta has with Oculus and they sell it? I'd love to get one, but not willing to have a Facebook account.

Your comment is a sobering economic reality of what it's like for immigrants, documented and undocumented, and even putting aside the huge cultural adjustments. We're biased in tech because we see H1-B visa holders living a comfor

This is the standard operating procedure. No employer or client should expect you to install software on your personal machine. They should provide you with a machine if they want to keep an eye on you.

Haha. You're sick of things going uncared for and looking like a mess, and think the PNW is better. Whoa boy. Anyone want to tell this guy?

That is definitely a key problem. Why pay for even one security professional when the consequences are just a few grand in credit monitoring for your customers?
527.
by snapetom 5y ago
With so many data breaches occurring, we all probably have free credit report monitoring for life. It's completely ridiculous. There's zero consequences for bad security. All companies need to do is report the breach to the gove

Problem is this isn't exactly like a street meeting between mafia thugs in New York in the 60's. There's no face to face contact for cops to monitor. There's no wires to record voices and tie into identities. Sure, th

The gang themselves aren't doing the actual customer engagement (breaking in, phishing, etc.). The affiliates are. The affiliates are the ones themselves potentially exposing their IP address. REvil just provides the tools, training

It should be pointed out these are affiliates, not actual members. Later down article mentions the bounty for actual REvil leadership members. This is what makes Ransomware as a Service so dangerous. It's basically franchising. The

Did you read the original article? The context of this is in regards to dementia. A dead 40 year old, regardless of whether they had a transplant at 30 or not, is probably not going to have dementia.

I'm a pessimist and when I look at the graft half-life in your article, it puts a wet blanket on things. For example, half of kidney transplants from a deceased donor fail in 7-9 years. That's not a lot of time. A lung gets you

Then you'll be subsidizing your own tax.

It's a pretty small app for some researchers. Front end is Angular, backend is an API in Bottle. At most, there's 10 people generating data, and about 40 people on reading data. Most times are 10 users uploading, and 5-10 users

I've been using Hashids ( https://hashids.org/ ). It's been fine performance-wise and well supported across languages.

Hah. Same. Disappointed about the subject, and the use of "Amish" is misleading.

Ah, thank you. I was wondering what vanishing Asian cultures had to do with the Amish.

Bicycling has had this "we are beyond reproach" attitude for years due to its health and environmental benefits. At least in my city, it's led to a sense of entitlement and militantism. Red lights and stop signs are routine

I think the author's point is lost because she's trying to convey some points that requires a lot of nuance and subtlety, but English is not her first language. Her point is that the hogging of public space by bicyclists is a prob
