I apologize for taking the piss. I do remember the bad old days of IE6 when the open web slightly closed because a lot of sites only worked in Internet Explorer on Windows. Please, if you have the time, try and fix that prevents it from wor

I guess things must have really changed in the last 2 years. Our rate lock was the standard 30 days and once we got close to the deadline I had a new contract drawn up just in case. 60 and 200 days seems so foreign to me. I guess the good t

Just so we are all aware, crypto does not solve fraud. The result would have been the same if they paid in Bitcoin.

EFTs are reversible but have much lower limits. To move this much money they probably used a bank wire. This can be reversible if you catch it in time. But wires happen so fast the thieves will surely transfer the money elsewhere before the

Modern videostreaming is such a poison pill. Where the rights come and go arbitrarily. So Netflix decided they were going to do their own content because they couldn't rely on production studios. Since they don't have to pay royal

This rule is almost certainly applicable to California. Most mall protests that I've seen happen near the mall or in front of the mall, rarely inside the plaza. And usually with the agreement of the owners.

My city has a public square and a privately owned mall. Just short of being violent you are allowed to do and say as you wish in the public square. But most people prefer to go to the much cleaner, privately owned mall. Where our values and

Every time I eat ackee[0] I wonder how this toxic fruit turned into something edible. If you eat it raw you might die and will be very sick. If you roast or boil it you still might die and still be very sick. No, intrepid reader, you have t

Miami and Miami Beach are only 3-6ft above sea level. The cities' campaigns into PoW is the last gasp before the water sweeps us away and we sell our flooded cars for jetskis. This city is grasping onto decentralized finance because it

There was recently an accident in Miami Beach. Elderly woman driving a Bentley reversed into a terrace restaurant. Killing 1 and injury 6, including a 3yo [0]. No charges filed because being senile driver (and voter) is not against the law.

I've bounced between AWS, Azure, and GCP. Once they get entrenched enough the credits stop but right now it's GCP with the best incentives. Also, don't sleep on Oracle. Their cloud platform is stupidly competitive price-wise

It's just a really funky scheme in the US. On the top tier plan it's $70. * 2 lines is $60/line ($120) * 3 lines is $50/line ($150) And you have to regularly shop around. Do you want more data or voice? Do you want inter

Russia is basically stating the justification for the invasion of Ukraine by saying the US did it first in Iraq. The US has already proven how toothless the UN Security Council is and Russia is reinforcing that idea.
