An important thing to consider is not just average return, but risk factors, and worst case scenarios. If you buy a home instead of investing, you've got a locked in, controlled rate for your housing expenses. (Yes, there's some v

The companies on top provide end user customer support, varied pricing models ("unlimited" data vs pay by the GB, etc), and so on. It allows the common carrier to focus solely on the network hardware.

If it takes 1 hour of effort to save 5%: - Doing 1 hour of effort to save 5% on your $20 lunch is foolhardy for most people. $1/hr is well below US minimum wage. - Doing 1 hour of effort to save 5% on your $50k car is wise. $2500/

Nine times out of ten, I've got more valuable problems to solve than a theoretical future change of our vendor/stack for telemetry. I'll gladly borrow from my future self's time if it means I can focus on something more

Agreed, but in this particular case the blog writer was running private servers, rather than being Valve. They had no control over payment processing etc.

What makes you say that? In my experience, the spam button works fantastically. There is a gym of some kind that has me on their mailing list, refuses to honor unsubscribe, and sends me probably 2-6 emails a month. They've been doing t

"Stick to a calorie budget" is the HARD part, and it's the thing that drugs like Ozempic help people with. People aren't obese just because they can't figure out how to count to 1500.

Minimum thresholds, and exceptions for less liquid assets (private equity) - ideally, again, coupled with thresholds. The same way we have exceptions like CA Prop 13 for increasing property taxes. These problems aren't impossible to so

Why would there need to be a carve out for home/auto loans? 1. No one really borrows against the value of their (paid off) car. 2. Property taxes already, generally, are against the assessed value of the home, so it's already happ

I firmly believe that monolith vs microservice is much more a company organization problem than a tech problem. Organize your code boundaries similar to your team boundaries, so that individuals and teams can move fast in appropriate isolat

Based on the other comments, is that true? The top comment here implied that the puzzle explicitly had a private key with all 0s except for 66 bits, so that lock was definitely weaker than a key with all bits unknown, right?

Even 4 can be generalized to "be deliberate about what you do with a failed function call (etc) - does it exit the command? Log/print an error and continue? Get silently ignored? Handled?"

Seems similar, except that this is built-in to sshd vs having to install a separate tool. It's also enabled by default here in sshd.

Because it was used as BOTH an identifier AND proof of identity, for a long time. If it were used properly as simply an identifier, you'd be right, but there are still many cases where knowledge of the number is used as proof (or parti

The article doesn't claim that you should make a language and actually use it - the author focuses on the learning experience. He makes valid points. No, it's probably not the right learning experience for everyone (clearly, it wo

The site also indicated that "Adherence to F/TAF and F/TDF was low" which means those that got infected most likely weren't taking their pills on a daily basis, unfortunately.

If someone steals my card, and uses it to pay for Netflix, how will I log in and cancel? The simplest, safe route is to not give companies the newly updated number. If my Netflix lapses because I forgot to update the number after a card cha
