Clickbait articles with clearly ridiculous assertions (without GPS the bank won't know if you overdrew your account).

You cannot overdraw your account because your computers clock is wrong. You cannot overdraw your account because there is an issue with a credit card terminal around clock sync. This simply cannot happen. If it can, let me suggest that whoe

What a load of absolute garbage. Banking has some of the slowest to migrate MAINFRAME workloads. These keep track of things in order, atomic transactions, synchronous writes to HA solutions. "When you pull cash from an ATM or swipe you

For those of us who have been around the block - we've been hearing from these "experts" that IPv4 is over for decades. It's boring at this point frankly.

This really (continues) to burst the trope here on HN that IPv6 is "easy". If you look at any discussion of for example expanding IPv4 address space, lot's of "experts" come out of the woodwork claiming IPv6 is the

These are not real numbers. I've tried the "free" and "unlimited" providers. They will drop you if you take them up on their offers.

And many customers simply are not doing petabytes per month. AWS wasn't meant to support Netflix type loads, those guys will build their own CDN's. For everyone else who wants security groups (totally for free) when some other fir

And a lot of the complaints about both are very generalized. "Flatpack is bad package management technology" tells you very little about what is wrong with it. Systemd was such an improvement over the existing speghetti for folks

Yep - we did a largish (300K user) site 18 years ago in PHP and static HTML. Was pretty high scale at the time with a lot of complexity and state (mysql with read replicas at the time). We didn't have concurrency totally solved but it

For some reason these change endlessly on my network. RFC4941 or similar privacy extension stuff might explain this.

This pop-up love is the stupids thing ever. The reality - they are too lazy to just put in a bait email, watch it get sold improperly and prosecute. That's all it would take, no pop-ups needed.

No kidding, reading folks talking about the innovation in this program is laughable.

by whoknowswhat11 5y ago
This is ironically totally backwards. The 20B+ / $2B/launch SLS program "innovation" is to not innovate! This is Apollo+, but heavier and in many ways worse and very expensive. My own guess is that all in NASA / SLS

I am already swamped every year in California with annual privacy notices which seem to have to be mailed in paper format. We also seem to have these cookie alert pop-ups in California - also very annoying. Is anyone tired of this stuff rat

Finally someone who get's it. First - you can't actually get static IPv6 despite the claims that there is plenty of it as a home user in the US. This static IPv6 for everyone is basically a total lie. It's super simple with I

This illustrates as I've said how out of touch IPv6 folks are. The demand for IPv4 is incredible right now. The value of a /8 went from $0 to close to a billion dollars. The claim that new IPv4 space has no value is ridiculous. Th

It's really interest, I think it's partly this attitude by the IPv6 folks that have stymied IPv6 adoption. It's this - you are an idiot, this is a waste etc. The reality, out of the millions of users of IPv4 space, some will

I think the hypocrisy of allowing call to cancel and not doing anything about to stop it WHILE suing apple (which DOES make click to cancel a reality for subscriptions) was probably a bit too glaring. The reason people go for the walled gar

Pork is identifiable a mile away. Space Launch System - I think the funding line both required they use a bunch of tech (only made by certain vendors) but also prohibited any competitive bidding or evaluation of other approaches. $20B later

I was just going to make this comment. Postgres as far as I know uses B-tree by default. You can switch sort order I think for this as well, so "most recent" becomes more efficient. Multi-column indexes also work, if you are just

Exactly. If you read the cases, a fair number of them are gotcha type things. For example, ask yourself, if google tried to say they couldn't provide consent records (despite CLEAR language in GDPR) because they are only stored on devi
