Microwave is also affected by weather. They sometimes say that markets are slightly less efficient on rainy days. It’s a bit of a joke, but basically packet loss goes way up and they rely more on fiber links when microwave links are being s

You make a contract with a company that does layer 3 ddos protection, you advertise a route including their AS on a subset of your prefixes and they route to you over a GRE tunnel.

Kagi has the same problem for me. The results don't load about 50% of the time. I had to cancel my subscription because I couldn't just roll the dice every time I searched to see if it would come back. Happens to all devices on my

The budget is already approved, the debt limit has nothing to do with it, it's just a cudgel with which one party bludgeons the other. It serves no other purpose.

Unfortunately (in the case of TRUST stores) it uses pkcs12 in a non-standard way. You cannot, for example, use openssl pkc12 to create a p12 store java can read. Java expects some oracle-specific non-standard attributes on the bag. PKCS12 k

This is absolutely true. Checking if their reports are going to be impediments to their goals is critical for managers, especially if those goals were themselves aligned with THEIR managers. You don't want to assign significant respon

I've never seen a response indicating the content is not subject to negotiation. I generally only see that the response is not acceptable (i.e. the client has indicated they can't accept it) and the server skips processing the req

When I worked a summer at BJ's (a similar wholesale club) the manager informed me that this was by design. I was asking why we needed to move all the stuff, if we were discontinuing or something. He said nope, we just have to do this e

It's actually worse than that. The first 3 groupings (textually) of the uuid might be little endian while the other 2 are big endian. Learning this cost me more time than I care to admit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

Better down the drain then to radiate it back into your air. Then you gotta spend more energy pumping that heat outside (if you live in a hotter climate like I do).

If you look at (at least one) of the recent articles (try AP or reuters), the board mentioned that the deal is still subject to both shareholder and regulatory approval. That's where it is. Shareholders still have to vote, and the conc

Firefox works with keychain in mac, there's specific settings you have to use. They seem to be considered enterprise features so they'r ehidden in the about:config settings.

When I was instructed to deliver someone's layoff paperwork I had to do this. I scheduled a meeting with the guy with no good purpose, just a meeting in a weird room nobody usually uses for meetings (we were laying off a lot of people)

They can start the process. Once that process is started your career inside the company is basically over. Even if you survive it (and/or survive the PIP) you will not want to work there anymore. May as well be fired at that point.

There's no accrued PTO. You just work it out with your mgr and then just...go. And you get paid for it (at least in the companies I've had it) and come back and just go back to work.

They certainly test for basic health, or did with me. I had to give blood and urine, and a nurse came to check other vitals. They also get your basic measurements which gives them BMI. They can then categorize you into "preferred"

No, they own a significant minority stake.

I think this is part of why getting hired through connections is even more important in this field, and why it's also interesting that so many members of the field look down on that very process. I agree it's not very meritocratic

This is actually a fairly big deal in enterprise sales. I learned that one of the reasons my company didn't use Slack and opted for a larger company's (arguably inferior) clone was that Slack was basically not suable (blood from a

Ritalin is not "an amphetamine" but rather a psychostimulant. It's a DEA schedule II regulated drug. Strattera works via a different mechanism and (supposedly) is likely not to be habit-forming. Ritalin definitely can be hab

This is exactly it. It's basically fractional reserve banking all over again, except that instead of dollars, we use shares. It may be in the national interest to impose "reserve requirements" on brokerages in order to preve

I actually did the math on this once, believe it or not. Based on where I live (fairly high carbon emissions from our local utility, though they have deployed more solar recently), switching to an all-electric car would have roughly the sam

The article is talking about this from a unilateral perspective. Yes, multi-laterally the optimal strategy is to invest together in the war. This looks like a classic prisoner's dilemma to me.

The problem is if your TRR can be associated with you, then outgoing queries to authoritative servers can be tracked.

What's the issue with having TLS-based authoritative lookups? I know it seems out of scope for what Mozilla's asking, but it seems like the missing piece of the puzzle to me. It's great if your recursive resolver is trusted (

You can drill through concrete with a cordless drill too, they're definitely good enough, especially with modern batteries.

I would just say use a low clutch setting on your power tools and you should be safe. My lowest clutch settings are weaker than my hand tightening.
