I bet saying the magic words "my phone is impounded by the police, please wipe my phone" would be. But, assuming the suspect is telling the truth and assuming an apple employee disassociated the suspect's phone from their icl

It could be possible hackers simply haven't turned their attention to exploiting these devices yet. There is always a time before a vulnerable system gets hacked, and there is always a person doing the hacking. Maybe this article on HN

As someone who just purchased a primary home, it’s unnerving to hear about a correction on the horizon and that my house won’t be worth the debt I took on. I’m still recovering after tapping into my 6 mo emergency fund to make the down paym

It's interesting to me that the people highlighted in the article are creative enough to do things to avoid repaying their student loans but aren't creative enough to turn their education into a higher paying job. It strikes me as

This is a neat project. I would encourage more development be done to have the type cover more of the front end code. Your development environment must not be of much help due to the heavy use of the "any" type throughout the code

Vagrant doesn't have to compete with containers. In fact, my best experience with Vagrant has been to standardize a development environment that then uses containers inside. One vagrant VM allows you to make assumptions about what soft
