    There is no "implementation date" in the current text of the bill. As written, it would take effect immediately.

    Holy hyperbole, Batman. This is just a straight marketing post for Redis.

    I have long thought that there is an opening for local grocery stores to take a lot of this market. Many of my local supermarkets (HyVee, Walmart) allow for online ordering, but th…

    Does the group of people who meal prep line up with those that don't want to think about meal prep? One of the benefits of these meal prep kits is that you end up with a freshly co…

    You are forgetting taxes (FICA, state and federal income taxes, etc), which would eat up a significant portion of those savings.

    Would it? I can imagine at least some companies would stop worrying about security since they are insured if something goes wrong.

    You can run into issues with headerless JWTs when you can't (or don't) guarantee the order of the header. Since the header is included in the signature of JWS objects, you must rea…
