For many years I could not get a new credit card, overdraft protection on a checking account or a mortgage. I finally was able to completely remove the freeze so that I could secure a mortgage.

Does it matter if you've applied for credit? They track everyone. The important thing to remember is that you are not and have never been a _customer_ of Equifax. You are their product. The banks, car dealerships, etc... that pay them

That should be ex-post-facto of the data breach (i.e. they leaked your data before you agreed to the TOS so you waive your rights to sue from that point forward). I'm not a lawyer and I wouldn't agree to this. I checked and I am a

How did you find out if you were affected?

IMO, the best outcome would be to put Equifax out of business. I have had my identity stolen and they were complicit in enabling the fraud against me. Once you tell them you're NPI has been compromised, they get incredibly passive aggr

so .... if you can actually move a business from GCE to AWS in 30 days, will you please send me your resume? I'd like to hire you for a -- short -- contract :) Seriously though, I think you're greatly underestimating how high the

I don't know about that. If your employer were to pay you more and you were to use your salary to buy health insurance, you'd be bumped into a higher tax bracket and you'd be using post tax money to buy the insurance. It&#x27

That was not one of NASA's findings. It was the finding of a paid "expert".

I have an Apple TV and I have to switch from it to the TV to get Amazon because Apple and Amazon won't play nice together.

Because Congress didn't need to find out any facts. They just wanted to put on a show to sway public opinion. Remember when they questioned Toyota over unintended acceleration? That made Toyota apologize and generally made the public b

This is what's called a "chilling effect." Sure, the next paper might not get put out of business if Tiel decideds to sue them, but an editor could loose his job for publishing the story that pissed him off.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Wall Street bonuses are cash. Your options are restricted and the value is very unknowable.

I feel like there's a market for independent contract sales. I would love to pay 15% of a contract to someone who could source and close contracts for me. Unfortunately, I think there's no way to escape the need to network. But, i

wrong. I was asking about a specific procedure that I made an appointment for. They gave me a form -- after I got to the office -- which said I agreed to pay any amount they decided to charge. When I asked for clarification, they refused to

I tried to get a doctor to tell me how much they would bill me for an office visit (not ER) and they kicked me out of the office. It was literally, sign this document agreeing to pay any charge we decide to bill or we will not see you. This

It's not just the emergency room. When you go to any doctor they make you sign a blank check before they will see you.

Because people don't get sick every day. Most people don't run into these bad situations and, in general, americans lack empathy for others who do wind up in bad situations. We have a media that tells us -- and religion before --

I think there are "bad" guys. I've pointed out to a doctor that their agreement said that I would agree to pay any charge they decided to bill me for. I pointed out that I was in their office because they were in network for

I'd rather use Redux without React than React without Redux. Sure there's some boilerplate but we use typescript so the redux boilerplate seems trivial in comparison. Redux keeps your app _simple_. That's not the same as easy

How are Spectacles selling? I assume they're doing better than Glass even though I've never seen them in the wild.

You sound like you live in a country where evidence of a pre-existing condition isn't a huge liability. In the United States, a recording of you admitting you've been sick for a while can literally bankrupt you (well, not while we

I've automated deployment of my side project. When I merge a pr in github to master it will pull the new build and restart any process that's changed.

Yeah, I've tried to keep a team together an leave a toxic employer. People just aren't interested. It's very rare that the need (or expectations) line up exactly. Seems like this is better for freelancing when you can sell a

linux runs tons of embedded devices as well (i.e. resource constrained devices that make your phone look like a super computer).

I think this is right. I might as how they start the dev environment or kick off a build. Should be something like `yarn start` and `yarn build`. We all work with really complex systems. The trick is to abstract them to the point where they

I think you need to dig and see what the aspirations of the system were vs what was delivered. The people I've worked with who always went for the complex solution could list off a million "awesome" things that the system was
