My concern with child proofing other than I don't think it works is that it starts impacting me directly. No more sign up with email, now I i have to produce credit card or governm…

Still hard to trust. Many companies save info for training/qa purposes and hide details in obscure language. Voice assistants for example. Didn't Roomba get in trouble recently reg…

Its way older than 5 years old. Wonderfalls (2004) had a character refered to the mouth breather in derogatory way. I know my brother used that in similar way growing up but im sur…

You are not alone. I think it goes all the way back to high school or middle school for me. Its when you realize the gold star stickers were behavior manipulation or something and …

I think you miss their point which is that has led to a large number of security bugs. Because it is then path to exploits and sloppiness which then cannot be corrected because of …

Felix Salmon on Slate Money podcast this past weekend suggest that its still net positive given alternative is those people don't even try to make world better. More nuanced than t…

That was one of purposes though. If every one caught COVID at the same time then hospitals would be overrun and some people would die as a result of lack of access. Masking and iso…

I've been using for about 6 months and I think its a good product. I suddenly needed a new firewall as Comodo Firewall doesn't work well with VPN I have to use (it cannot block any…

I prepay w/ tmobile for 30/mo. No wifi directly but can use google voice for that.

1-5 V is also common. You can convert between the 2 with a resistor.

Its very micro but also some macro. Very factorio-esk. When they add combat and hopefully other ways to use energy I will return and waste vast amounts of time again trying to avoi…

Facebook used to do that for you though maybe that has been curtailed? The tech is there in any case.

You add the intermediate key to config for trust. You do not need authorized_keys files for each user. Good for team and central management and faster key rotation but then needs t…

Cannot give specific site of hand but for me its SPA sites and the page is just blank.

I can only speak from personal experience but that is what happened to my family. My brother is a sociopath who caused our family a lifetime of difficulty. The biological mother wa…

The definition of war has become extremely loose in modern times.

I had a Panasonic from about 2008. It finally started having image burn-in problems and some yellowing from too much CNN on in the background. It had great speakers and rich colors…

My company "allows" USB sticks but they will encrypt any files on it with key tied to that machine. Had a tech updated a config file when after this was silently rolled out and poo…

My company has some McAfee and Palo Alto stuff and the cyvera cloud backup software which scans every file every 4 hours but then triggers the other software because of access atte…

US taxes world income with some credit for foreign taxes paid. So if you don't have to pay taxes twice its easier and cheaper. Speaking from experience especially around investment…

Its partly about where burden is placed. Making it easy for developers sometimes makes it hard on users and admins. And some times it becomes security issue because of varied appro…

This is same for me. It was great value in 2012 and product was good enough to keep using. I subscribed to Resharper before that but now use the other products like datalink. The f…

1992 by the way. Seemed way to new when i read it in 90s to be 1982. Your point probably still stands.

Mysql also has this now. I've wanted to rewrite out apps to use it but haven't gotten around to it. Postgres has it as an addon but feels like it wouldn't work for us until its fir…

Interesting. I dont know much about her but i love her scores. GITS (Inner Universe; Rise) and Noir (canta per me; salva nos) are still in my playlists after 20ish years.
