I hope they improve their incident response comms in the future. 2.5 hours with nothing more than "We are continuing to investigate this issue" is pretty poor form. Their past history of incident handling looks just as bad.

Don't bother with the video, there's very little information aside from the fact that in 2001, personal use of drugs was decriminalised and by 2009 they could see a drop in HIV infections, overdoses, and deaths.

This is partially addressed in CSIRO's FAQ: https://research.csiro.au/futurefeed/faq/ In summary, FutureFeed is working with several external suppliers to establish production. They expect to be able to impro

I suspect your comment is at least partly a joke, however the actual maximum fine possible is 4% or €20 million, whichever is higher.

I've heard the term biblichor used as a name for the smell of old books. This is derived from the words Biblos: book Ichor: the fluid that flows like blood in the veins of gods This was inspired by the term petrichor.

Facebook still operates as a business in the EU and can therefore be fined there. As a similar example, Google was fined €50 million earlier this year as a result of a GDPR violation.

GDPR fines can be pretty significant. Google was hit with a €50 million fine in January.

The word quantum has been used as a synonym for quantity since the mid-16th century. Its use as a physics term is a much more recent development, which has definitely not fully replaced the original definition yet.

I personally enjoyed (and was certainly impacted by) many of the books that I was forced to read during high school. The most memorable ones for me all fell into the "modern classics" category - To Kill a Mockingbird, Animal Farm,

The other option to cope with an extended period of lower revenue is to make sure you have enough cash in the bank to ride it out.

Yes this is correct. In fact even without a paid subscription you can access all files that have been added to a Slack through the web UI (myslack.slack.com/files). You can't see the related messages, but all the files (images, sn

I've been using Docker on Windows for well over 2 years. It was certainly difficult setting it up on Windows in the old Docker Toolbox days (circa 2016), so perhaps the authors experience is from then. Since the Docker for Windows clie

Well probably not as a joke, but it's within the realm of possibility that it was moved there at some point in the past. This is pure speculation of course, but perhaps it was identified as a sacred object and carried there by a travel

In the books I've written I added references to movies that I liked as part of the examples. I remember including a "PC Load Letter" error message as a homage to Office Space. Other examples were more obscure, such an address

Ideally you should use FODMAP as an elimination diet to determine what food's you react to. I went though it a couple of years ago and discovered that onions (and large amounts of garlic) will give me IBS symptoms. I'm fine with e

You can certainly use UHT milk to make cheeses that don't contain rennet such as paneer, ricotta, and quark. Some argue that you can't make good quality versions of these cheeses with UHT milk. From personal experience, I've

In Australia it costs $38 (US $29) for a twin-pack of Epipens under our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. We can also buy a single pen privately without prescription for $99 (US $75).
