While we learnt from Layer 1, all the setup was in software so we didn't get any hardware. I think the idea is that we could examine Wireshark frames for the relevant layers.

There's this service [0] which is designed to set up quick WordPress installs for demos. The free tier uses the domain poopy.life and if you want to get a more professional domain to show off to clients, you pay extra. [0]: http:&#x2F

Same with my college networking class. The professor talked a lot but we didn't do much besides look at HTTP requests in Wireshark. The most practical thing I had to do with networking cane up in a job interview where I paired with som

They do ish. There's Medicare which is state sponsored health insurance, Social Security which provides a stipend every month in retirement and a bunch of NGOs they fund to provide meals and other stuff. Nothing much for housing beside

What about shifting to a more stable form of retirement instead of the DIY solutions (401ks, IRAs, etc.) pushed since the 80s? As great as they are, there's a lot of BS marketing around 401ks (unless you self manage) and while the mark

Expensive glasses are expensive. There are online retailers where you can get glasses for $20 (not sure about more complicated prescriptions). I go to this place where I can get a $50 eye test before buying them online. Only issue is that t

There's a service called plastiq that charges a flat 2.5% fee that won't look like a cash advance on your statement. Otherwise, some landlords might let you pay via credit card.

Honestly, I won't mind that extra 40% if it meant that I could use the device for a few more years. Weight for me is a hard compromise, but the pre-touchbar Macs weren't necessarily heavy.

I heard this perspective once. People struggle getting of cigarettes multiple times even after a year long break. So sure you fail at weightless, but you can try again. The only issue I have with the view is that losing and gaining weight o

Their response reminds me of the Monty Python sketch about the speed of an unlaiden swallow.

Issue is will you actually get those several hundred thousands for just "fairly minor sacrifices".

I doubt the difference would be that dramatic (see Hollywood actors and athletes). Also, what's the point of 500K if you're prohibited from working on personal projects, open source and have non-competes, no vacation out leave tim

We can set the single setting (Do not track), but websites can ignore it.

I've heard about it too but I don't know what the solution would be. If a journalist was really knowledgeable about something they were writing, would they still be in journalism when their insight could fetch more elsewhere?

Yeah, I was redesigning my website and decided to use system fonts. When I added the system don't for monospacw text, I was amazed at how nice Consolas came out.

It's crazy, but states and cities need to get money somehow.

I mean, a lot of Hollywood blockbusters cost at least 10s of millions so 1 million is small in comparison (though large compared to indie films).

B&H have started collecting sales tax [0] on lots of states after the Supreme Court ruling. States are going hard on collecting sales tax. Connecticut is even asking for online retailers to give them DBs on customer transactions[1]. B&a

I don't see your source alluding too this "view of masculinity as toxic". The reasons in the article are that they couldn't be bothered, not a toxic view of masculinity. I have heard about this in regards to Asian cultur

At the time I got it, I wanted to move to iOS. I couldn't afford the flagship 6S (even with monthly payments) and I heard rumors that they were going to make a 5s with 6S internals. It was still expensive to me at the time (at $500 for

I'm not sure how to feel about this. From social media I've been able to connect with old friends, enjoy good memes and keep up with current affairs. It's also been useful at times where I've found people willing to put

Yes because I found it absolutely useless since I didn't interact with people much besides a friend who I forgot to tell I was leaving Facebook. Thankfully she emailed me so we could stay in touch. I wasn't using FB a whole lot si
