I worked for Data company for a year. We absolutely used Census and ACS as baselines and checks. In fact, there was some talk about getting rid of ACS in Congress and we got emails about "EMAIL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL PERSON, DEMAND ACS STA

In theory, it could help. In practice, for KYC to reduce spam and scam calls, FCC would have to be willing to drop hammer big time on people and telcos who allow it to happen. With current political climate in the US, I don't see that

Most of time it's billed as law enforcement fighting tool. If people can't have anonymous cell phones, once you capture one criminal phone number, you can quickly look at who they call and since they can't be burners, you fig

They have a cloud they already built on Cloudflare. Cloudflare probably thinks they can quickly launch that and that's locked in, steady revenue source.

I could see Cloudflare wanting them for 50 Million. Cloudflare recent acquisitions have clearly been "buy tools with heavy lock in" and companies shipping on Void are likely heavily locked in.

My guess is investors are getting a good return on investment so they are probably pretty happy.

Just letting you know. You could also install one of Windows 2008 R2 servers in GUI mode and use RSAT tools on that to manage the others. Knew plenty of admins who did that.

by stackskipton 5mo ago
Just a heads up, There was a lot of problems running RSAT (Remote Admin GUI Tools) on Vista when interacting with 2008 R2. Windows 7 quickly became required for 2008 R2. (Windows 7 is client OS of 2008 R2) Otherwise, rock on.

Doesn’t matter that it’s unprecedented by value, Whole point of rules is confirm that value isn’t fake by letting the market stabilize after IPO and then if value is there, it’s added to the index. Yes, some money could be lost if value is

You are misreading this. K-1 can come and stay since it’s considered an immigrant visa. This screws over anyone who enters the country on visitor/temp work or student visa since those visas are not immigrant visa. You would be expected

K-1 visa is immigrant intent, you are basically applying for temporary 90 day pass to get married and one of two things will happen: Get married and adjust your status or leave. What this screws over is there was plenty of people from US vi

There has been no indication if this was personally owned GitHub or Organizational owned GitHub. If it's personally owned, it still is one person doing massive dumb. Even if it's Organizational, it's very possible that person

My guess is there is no easy way to deal with chargebacks and they would probably be bad. It would almost need to be analog. Fill out this form and drop it in the mail with 10 bucks inside.

What? If you are talking web development, .Net is just about the same as Go. It's 100% Java OOP type writing but result is same, very performant API server. Sure, Rust is completely different beast with different target system.

Microsoft does use Go/Rest/Java in places but they still have a ton of .Net. Windows Development is not "We are not dogfooding", it's that incentives are misaligned with customer wants. .Net team incentives are alig

As Python using SRE and supporting Python Flask apps, most of us would love JIT in Python assuming it pretty much drop in replacement. PyPy doesn't have the support it needs and is stuck on 3.11.

One thing Microsoft does really well is eating its own dogfood and Microsoft feeds a ton of .Net dogs. So any change to GC starts with massive .Net MSFT code base so they get extremely good telemetry back about any downsides and might be ab

.Net SRE here, you can do self contained executable but there is some foot guns there and if you are doing containers already, I'd just skip it.

It's varied throughout history obviously but if you look at average marriage age now, it's still in low 20s in many places.

Historically, women started having children around 16-18 years old so that 7 was much easier. Societally, almost everyone would argue we shouldn't encourage women to have kids that young.

Problem is, Social Security will be solvent until 2037 at current prediction which means it goes insolvent when youngest boomer is 73. So basically most of them will get all their Social Security, die and leave Gen X to get fucked.

Sure, you COULD or you could just encrypt between client and server and be done with it. Business users are their focus and outside select industries, vast majority of businesses don't care if government is spying or not. Heck, most bu

Slack, Teams and Google are meaningfully making this choice and that's because customers rarely care and yes, many of customers do prefer the server side transcriptions, recording and AI note taking.
