I had a friend from university who tried to smuggle cocaine from Las Vegas to Australia. He was coerced by a guy working at Vice and was introduced to the opportunity through a drug dealer / nightlife mutual connection. I remember he b

I wrote my own schema as code library and then switched back to normal migrations with no down method. It takes some care to not delete anything for a while until it’s definitely not needed ever again. https://www.ajostrow.me&#x2

In my experience with non tech clients, the website is built using Wordpress, hosted by the agency, and presented in a board room. The presenter will connect a newish MacBook into the projector after lots of fuss about the right dongle type

Know Your Customer is performed at different levels for different requirements. You can KYC individuals or businesses. For individuals, there is a Level 2 check which verifies a government issued document and a selfie holding the document.

I’m sure readers on HN are excited about the day of privacy reckoning but I stopped using Facebook because the news feed sucks. I’ll stare at a photo of someone I don’t remember trying to recall how I know them and then for the next month i

I think it also has to do with the source of data. If you receive data from a third party it’s easy to insert the whole document and figure out what parts you need later. If your data comes from your own client interface it makes more sense

Yeah my money, my decision. I had around $6k of bar mitzvah money and savings from working as a teaching assistant and summer jobs. I spent just over half on video games during high school and related costs. I made it all back the summer af

Netflix should create less content, not more. I find it low quality and will discount titles with Netflix logo that otherwise look interesting. I’m also a Mubi and Amazon Prime subscriber. It’s surprising to hear the original content is wor

Meat substitutes are the best for infrequent cooking. Chick’n by Tofurkey for example tastes pretty similar to chicken except it pan fries in minutes and lasts in the fridge for months. I think burgers miss the mark because hamburger buns d
