How often does the FCC allow blocking traffic?

I think this is a stretch. The conversation you mentioned isn’t hard, and changes drastically once you get into cross border payments. I think this is a solution looking for a prob…

It raises the cost for any spammer, including determined actors. More code, more complexity, plus the cost to actually rent the numbers. A lot of tech bros need to touch grass and …

A great example of how NOT to write Java. You say absolutely nothing with a whole lot of extra words. For example: //============================================================== …

We came to the exact same conclusion. EventBridge time triggers a Fargate task. The job automatically terminates the process after execution, so the container shuts down and all is…

MS is probably pricing this into their model — GitHub was acquired for 7.5b. If they get fined a couple b over this, it’ll probably have been worth it for the customer acquisition …

We need much much more military spending, not less. We’re currently only spending about 3.5% of our GDP. It should be at least 10%. The threats to the free world have never been gr…

Prevent shattering into multiple pieces. Remembering now, you had to hit the window in all corners. It was something complicated like that. Then you get the glass on the suction cu…

Unfortunately I don’t know much about the Dutch perspective on this. As an American, this is the kind of thing that gets America to go to war - why didn’t the Netherlands decide to…

There wasn’t much support in the very beginning - sure, some javelins and NLAWs. Whether they were the difference maker is unclear. I see a lot of American “free thinkers” (who all…

I fought mostly with the TDF and SSO - all of us were volunteers or professional military. I personally haven’t met anyone who said they were forced to fight. Except for Russian PO…

Yes, this works. Actually while planning one SSE operation, we heavily debated the best way to break glass windows. One guy on the team wanted to tape around the edges, attach a su…

Mate, it’s democracy vs dictatorship. Russia didn’t invade the US, it invaded Ukraine. We would keep fighting even without US support. Freedom is non-negotiable.

No. It was warm, so we had the windows open though.

Street 14, Kharkiv. I remember battles in that area. I remember when some of the houses there got hit. One night specifically, I was on a base a ways away, and I heard one of the l…

Russia and Belarus are both members of the Axis of Evil too, so yes??

Who is proposing to destroy the first amendment? The proposal is to ban a piece of Chinese state sponsored spyware.

Dictatorships aren’t self determination.

Okay, hope their interests aren’t in doing business in the US if they want to circumvent US sanctions. We absolutely have the right to draw moral lines in the sand: if you do busin…

I’m not an expert on the topic, I don’t understand the question. What valid reasons are there for emissions in a world with nuclear reactors and electric vehicles?

I don’t particularly care if humans are a cause of climate change or any of the other debated topics in the sphere of climate science. I want a clean planet for my kids/grandkids/t…

On-call schedule. Everyone goes on rotation, gets different days. If you miss your day, well, you knew in advance you would be on call that day.

I don’t understand your question

Yeah because total comp starting 125k total comp for lowest positions at my company, fully remote, can’t handle an outage. It’s part of the job description of a software engineer -…

When working hospital shifts, I routinely took naps whenever possible. I personally wouldn’t hire an engineer with your sense of entitlement, because you would be very difficult to…
