As someone that has been riding for 25 years the best advice I can give is what I was taught; put all your weight on your foot. You will avoid all of the painful falls from mistakenly catching edges.

It provides a marketplace so perhaps Deta plan to take a cut of sales: https://deta.space/

There's also Eric Lippert's blog series on OOP and business rules [1] that culminates [2] in suggesting a DSL with Inform7 as a possible candidate. The comments on the final post are great as people rail against the use of a DSL.

Same. A person I know was buying physical gold about 8 years ago in preparation for a mega economic collapse which leaves gold as king. However he himself said that he will lose in the end because someone with a gun will come and take what he's got.

The sentence in the second last paragraph reads "They all have their idea about how to “make the world a better place” and to do it they need you to tithe and purchase their ponzicoin today to buy a stake in a better tomorrow." and is the anthem of this video I saw posted on reddit.com/r/bitcoin called "Bitcoin is Generational Wealth" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rnqst5qCgA A lot of fluff and no details regarding the implementation of the ideal future except that one must get on the Bitcoin train now to be part of it.

YMMV as the printer needs to support PCL/PDL and not all HP network servers have it built-in. HP chose to save some money by making dumb network cards that forced the PCL/PDL rendering on the Windows computer which made using Linux difficult.

While you're at it you may as well try out the printer exploit kit https://github.com/RUB-NDS/PRET

I wrote an identity verification process with Verified.Me. I understand your concern regarding SecureKey's creation of a user account for its service built around identity verification sources such as the chartered banks. Your Verified.Me account is tied to your mobile device, and that it doesn't have any extra PII. You can delete your Verified.Me account from the app at any time. If you move to a new device and want to use Verified.Me, it will tell you that your account is already on another device and needs to be deleted from it before proceeding. The PII that is shared from the banks to the Verified.Me consumer is name, email, and phone number. At all times SecureKey said that it's the conduit and doesn't see that data.

Similar to Stripe, SecureKey currently offers an analysis service for photo ID that looks for anomalies and calls them out. The next version of the service integrates with provincial records to concretely confirm validity.

VPNPro doesn't list ExpressVPN as having Chinese ownership. Wikipedia[1] claims it operates in the British Virgin Islands, and Quora claims the same. That written, a comment on Quora claims that it's owned by the CIA. Ha ha!

Agreed. I didn't suggest that supply control increases quality, and yes it does increase price. However in Canada it appears that the increase in price has returned a benefit to the consumer by the gov't restricting the use of certain drugs.

Wait. You just wrote that if America implemented a supply control system that milk prices would increase to $4/g with the implication being that increase in price would be unacceptable. Now you wrote that "US foodstuffs are awful quality because the general public buys it for some unknown reason." You can't have your cake and eat it too. Most likely the public has gotten used to low prices for low quality products. I have had amazing cheese in Vermont and it was expensive - probably because the producer had to use more milk fat which is more costly.

From my perspective (being Canadian, and having enough money to purchase milk) the price is fine with me. No one in my family drinks milk. My kids have it with cereal, and I use it for cooking. A price of $5 CDN for 4L of regular milk, and $9 CDN for 4L of organic milk is just high enough to ensure that it is drunk in moderation. Using Walmart, I chose Plano, TX and the price of 1 gallon of Walmart brand milk costs $2.41 USD which converts to $3.05 CDN so Canadians pay a $2 premium. I purchase 4L every 2 weeks, so I pay $48 more per year to have a milk system that benefits the farmers, and their neighbours. I'm OK with that. Plus that extra $2 ensures that Canadian milk doesn't contain growth hormones which are permitted in the USA.[1]

Can Google mine user/usage data from GCP for sale to advertisers?

Be careful. You couldn't afford a US Robotics 14.4, and yet you could afford QuarXPress, and Photoshop? Hmmm...I smell something fishy. ;-)

That sounds like money well spent, and a good deal considering what it enables. It would be incredible to see the multiple levels of govt around the world collaborate to create a publicly funded (bond sales) project for laying fibre optic across the planet which could not be sold to a private corp, and that guaranteed access to it based on population proportion, not GDP.

I have been waiting for Lenovo to release the Legion 7 Slim with the 4900H to replace my aged Lenovo Thinkpad 540p, but a 7 Slim with a 5000 series would be drool worthy for me.

This is a very thorny issue and my own personal views don't matter, but the views of others are indeed interesting. I was listening to an episode of The Taylor Report[0] and he was saying that no corporate platform should block speech based on its moral compass. He noted that while Twitter flagged Trump's tweets regarding the Capitol Hill protest as inciting violence, Twitter didn't flag Trump's tweets threatening nuclear violence against Iran and North Korea as incitements to violence.

Curious. The article states that Mr. Vinod Sahadevan Nair is 60 YO, and graduated with a degree in physics, and then worked as a web designer. Mr. Lee released the web in 1989, and Mr. Nair was in his early 30s. The web wouldn't grab hold for designers for a few more years, so Mr. Nair would be close to 40 if not older. I guess that fits...

How is free sustainable for Signal? I understand why WA is free based on data collection, but Signal just seems too benevolent toward its users. I read up on Signal Foundation (Acton and Marlinspike) as a non-profit which is being buoyed along by $100M from Acton. Mozilla is a non profit too, but it gets money from Google for placing Google search in Firefox. Where is the long term cash flow for Signal?

Yeah, I feel the same. I'm about to buy a Thinkpad T14 AMD Pro 4750U and I know that the M1 is superior, but in the end I've never been interested in Apple gear, and I don't feel like changing that viewpoint now. I'm waving the white flag, but I'm not crossing sides.

Thanks for making reference to LiveView. It reads a lot like Microsoft Blazor with server side rendering and two way communication through SignalR.

On the other hand I was gifted a 2015 MacBook Pro 15 and I can't run away screaming fast enough from it. I know people rave about the touch pad, but when I use it I find apps get minimized, or don't launch or some other weird gesture causing behavior. I guarantee that this is classic PEBKAC. The other day a family member with a MacBook Pro asked me to assist them with Safari which on launch wouldn't appear. I was able to get it to appear by using the Finder or something which allowed me to pin/size Safari to one side of the screen, but on appearing the window simply displayed a single pixel frame with a black interior. I liked the process, launched it again but it did the same thing. I told them they would have more success with Google than me. I have never had those experiences with Windows. Yes I've had other lame experiences, but I can always solve them, it at least find a solution online. Again probably PEBCAK so no fan boy retorts please. In the end all programs and operating systems suck.

Thank you for that belly laugh!

SSH tunneling as a Service (STAAS): holepunch.io announced itself on HN in 2019 [1]. For now its free so it comes slightly ahead of using the Hetzner server.

The primary reason that the company I work for chose the Atlassian Confluence server licence was for LDAP integration with Active Directory. Yes, Atlassian supports SSO, but it requires Atlassian Access which costs $3/user/month. Further SSO with Access requires user management to be done within Access which is not the source of truth for this company as that privilege belongs to AD. Users are assigned to groups in AD, and group membership determines the access to Confluence sites, etc. Unless the cloud offering can provide similar functionality the server licence will die here, and be replaced by a product that can deliver these features.

Same for me, but FF and MS-Edge on Win10. I disabled uBlock Origin, and also tried a private window to no avail.

I had a 2003 Pontiac Vibe, a hatchback, and the best feature, next to the variable valve timing, was the hatch glass lifted up apart from the hatch. All I had to do was lift the glass and slide in long lengths of lumber. Brilliant design feature that I remember from my family's obligatory station wagons from the 70s and 80s. I still love wagons...
