    There is a fair bit wrong with this advice. CA is a joint and several liability state. Joint and several liability is the legal doctrine that each defendant in a personal injury cl…

    For front-end dev - some older developers are really tired of the constant churn. This can be a good thing if you can / already are off the endless new frontend bandwagon. But sinc…

    Where is the source for this. We do have Biden putting tariffs on Canadian lumber to help keep prices high, but that's the only thing I'm aware of.

    I hope this new all EV vehicle has a kick ass screen / tech stack system. So many of their older ones are slow / janky etc. Carplay is a godsend on their other vehicles. I'm assumi…

    Is WPF/XAML the right way now to do quick get going windows app development?

    My question - what happened to microsoft in this space? The get up and go speed of the super old windows forms approach was fantastic. Now I'm supposed to use - XAML? UWP? WPF? Do …

    That's not all that IPv6 changed. There is a reason even places like google cloud have not implemented ipv6 (and these are huge scale players). They changed so many things around t…

    Do you admin a medium or larger network? Despite the strength of your comment it also illustrates some ignorance. "No way", "weird persistent idea". This despite many reasonable pe…

    You can get pretty far with docker and things like ECS / Fargate etc too.

    100% false. If a business allows a nonprofit to use excess capacity, the capacity is still a business expense. Google and AWS have huge amounts of unused computer capacity at low t…

    Given how poorly executed softbanks strategy has been I'm not surprised. The strategy itself was maybe something that could work or was at least an interesting idea - but the way t…

    I know not popular, but set your email and other retention periods to a relatively short time frame - even a year or two drops tons of sensitive data off. Flag important or file el…

    And the ICANN fees we pay covered none of this (when funding this sort of thing would be an obvious benefit vs what ICANN does spend money on).

    Just what we need is to get politicians involved in this. One benefit thought would be they could more easily block access to sites they don't want folks visiting by just denying a…

    And in doing so creates multiple ways to do the same thing which is SUPER SUPER annoying. There has been a recent effort to add all these new operators that don't actually let you …

    It only has to do it cheaply now because there is NO COST to putting CO2 into the air. Why are people surprised that if something is free (pumping CO2 into air) demand for it is hi…

    You do realize this toolkit is designed to deeply embed Alexa and other Amazon products into the device. So people WANT amazon to have a microphone and maybe a speaker and I'm sure…

    This is 100% common - the cost to network is often both in forward and reverse side, though most card providers zero out benefits to users so I'm convinced have higher than appropr…

    Actually - it's mostly because of cost / benefit shifting. A card can attract USERS by increasing the rewards it offers -> and charging MERCHANTS for the reward. So visa infinite c…

    Some systems require a big software suite or make it very hard to download basic drivers, so you end up with a "fancy" bunch of software - yes it let's you do a few more things, bu…

    Does AWS have a comparable offering? I haven't seen anything on EPYC - congrats to GCP for moving quickly. I'm mostly AWS based currently.
