Yup. Most criminals aren't masterminds. Fuck - most of them don't even take basic steps to cover their tracks. That includes people with big bank rolls occasionally.

That's a very neat story. I have always loved the idea of paying things forward - investing in things or people in which you yourself do not see the direct return. Thanks for sharing.

I got excited when I saw that fancy Microsoft Message Analyzer tool and wanted to try it out. Sadly it appears to be retired and removed by MSFT? Sad!

Agreed. I've seen people use assigned (RIR) but not announced (BGP) IP space for years in various ways. Squatting on 11/8 is common to the uneducated.

That is human nature. No one cares until the crisis is knocking at the door. Also I chuckle at the people who think Twitter and Tesla CEOs are "similar". They are not. Musk will still be here in 10 years rolling and controlling. I

Interesting. Is the design something along the lines of "we want to keep people informed, but not be the sparking catalyst of mobs/witchhunts"? I imagine if you have a valid reason and petition the court you can have the iden

You are correct, but sadly it won't happen in my opinion. Why? MBAs have made way too much money advocating Just In Time (JIT) supply chains. To go back on that would make a fair number of "super smart" business people look s

Speaking as an American living in America, I love GDPR. Where I work [big-co], it is mandated that all of our services are GDPR-compliant, regardless of worldwide location. The only people who hate GDPR are ad-industry parasites. To that I

Go back to reddit. RFCs are standards but real life requires acceptance of divergence from the exact letter of the law.

I watched the movie. It highlighted to me how over the top the effort was, when I previously did not appreciate how exotic and ridiculous the killing actually was. No wonder the Saudis did not like this movie.

Based fellow Eagle Scout spotted. Nice project. I planted shrubs and trees to prevent kids from chasing their escaping soccer balls into a busy street. At that park the previous year a 7 yo got creamed chasing his ball when it rolled away :

Regarding your AirPlay woes - have you checked the health (strength) and throughput of the wifi signal? I have a lot of noisy stuff around my house so one thing I did was hardwire my AppleTV to be one less wifi device. That resolved all of

It is very exciting times. From a business model perspective what is interesting to me is thinking about how the LONDON<->NYC low latency demand (finance/tickers) will effectively offset the cost for Starlink to offer service in

For what it is worth, the 2021 models finally seem to have CarPlay as a standard feature, along with a digital dash. Basically parity to what Audi has had for years.

I think their intention was to capture the attention of their target audience. Their target audience typically thinks of autism as something that mostly hinders someone, rather than elevate / enable them.

Won't speak for your OP, but from my perspective most Social Justice Warriors embrace the term, even if it is thrown at them derisively from the other side. Same thing goes for being "Woke" -- it is a term and mindset that th

Whatever dude. You people are delusional. Stop bending over backwards to defend dumb ideas. To do so otherwise opens you up to mockery and ridicule of your otherwise substantive thoughts.

You have reduced the scope of the argument. It is a question of efficiency, performance, and battery life. iPhone beats Android in all over those categories. Of course iPhone and Android can do all the same tasks. One just does it a lot bet
