None of this is surprising. I keep the lowest possible amount of money in paypal to cover eBay charges. Too many horror stories.

Former QSA here....and that external scanning vendor (one in each quarter) and two required Pen Tests per year had not be HackerOne carrying them out. Automatic conflict of interest. HackerOne has a vested interest in a clean scan and mak

I don't trust my car. I roll down the windows if I leave the keys in it for any reason so I don't get locked out when it decides to auto-lock itself or leaving it running or to step or whatever reason. I sure am not trusting it

I had four Apple IIs (IIgs, rest IIes) and I had a network going and everything. Sold them all in 2003 because of no job for over a year. Sold them all for $250. I could get $3000 today if I still had them, but I wouldn't sell them.

Dude! That's mean! But it would be awesome to hear wind or other sounds on Mars.

Isn't that how cancel culture works? You talk smack until the damage is done and put out a correction saying "whoops, I was wrong"? Politics needs to get out the business of destroying people's livelihoods.

I was not expecting that downvote. That must be a manager ;) Anyway, I think monthly would be fine as long as it focused on career growth, goals, etc. I am a tad bit of biased since I have had bosses who use 1:1's to stay up to date

Chevron messed up the environment for farmers, Donziger broke the law to make them pay for what they did, and Chevron moved assets and left. The losers are the farmers who have to clean that mess up. A lot happened and we are back at the e

I prefer 1:1 when there is something relevant to discuss (merit increases, onboarding, significant problems). Personally I believe this is the best way the manager/employee relationship should function. Email and daily interaction sho

I would like to see some stats from youtube and other platforms actually auditing those sub counts. I really have a hard time believing some youtube channels actually have 10,000 subs, let alone a million. While I agree with the article a

I have to agree. No one really talks about EOL for alternate energy gear. I would call not knowing what do with the blades when they reach EOL is a serious oversight. "Can't be recycled" usually means "it is not econo

I really question the really unrealistic prices of these retro systems, both on auction sites and the "new" retro stuff. They are asking $200 for the commander x16 keyboard not to mention vaporware like the Mega65 that never might

GM is already laying the groundwork for the next bailout with their plans to stop building cars, they just don't realize it yet. As for the plan to ban cars from city centers, I am all for that. I want to see mass amounts of money in

I think it would be more productive to do that and release the source for other out of date platforms like GW-BASIC and MS COBOL.

I am pretty sure the C-level at Microsoft is having quite the laugh at this petition.

It is more for convenience for the landlord. A second bathroom can give them time to fix the problem for what's broken.

I believe 99% of the problem is marketing. Adding an additional bathroom can add $5000 USD (or more) onto the asking price of a home in the US.

Former Houston native here so I will weigh in. Houston being less affordable that NYC is debatable. I have lived in 3 other states and 5 other major cities and everywhere I have been has been a give and take situation. For example, propert
