Russia has a history of raping, pillaging, and stealing land from their neighbors with NATO acting as the only (somewhat) successful defense against that so far. Your idea of ‘containment’ in this sense means you’re defending the equivalent

It’s been very common in official NYC taxis for awhile now. But you can shut off the displays during the ride.

OPs point is funnily accurate if you’d like to consider a certain ‘real-estate’ person in government could stand to benefit from the buildings being sold at the lowest price (recovering market) and that same person people will likely be fri

Awhile back I worked with someone who wrote a script to scroll through ebooks he purchased, screenshot each page and then aggregate the screenshots into a single PDF file. The simplicity of the approach seemed pretty awesome

I can't change the title, but if it's worth changing, someone will do it or it will just be resubmitted. I think "new" would make sense and I accidentally conflated them also writing about the EPA rolling back *existing*

The article title is: "Energy Department Acts to Lower Prices and Increase Consumer Choice with Household Appliances", which says nothing of substance. The only part of the article that explained what was done states: "Today’

I mostly understand what you’re saying and I hope I didn’t come across as saying serverless is *never* a good idea. In my experience it’s just very often not the best choice. I will always keep an open mind about solutions, but serverless

Over the years I’ve spent a lot of time talking engineers and managers out of using serverless AWS options for various reasons. I’ve found that most non-infra focused engineers and managers see serverless marketed as “simpler” and “cheaper

I just moved to Oakland and pay $50/month for 10 Gbps fiber with Sonic. I thought that was just the norm here after staying in a few SFH BnBs in the area that all had the same. I’m kinda surprised SF doesn’t have better connectivity.

Where is this mythical “working poor” that drives into midtown Manhattan everyday for work? Do you have any stats whatsoever on the number of people who would be impacted? Maybe even a salary range you consider to be “working poor”?

Interesting how a guy whose entire administration is being investigated and indicted by the FBI ran almost entirely on a ‘law and order’ platform, with this pilot being one of the staples.

Google owns the platform and the ad network / marketplace. A lot of videos ‘lose’ money and just take up space. Any viable competitor to YouTube would need a solution that allows signups, watches and video uploads, without requiring a

If your threat model is the NSA and you’re worried about backdoors then don’t use any cloud provider? Maybe I’m just jaded from years doing this, but two things have never failed me for bringing me peace of mind in the infrastructure/o

You’ve done nothing but submit half a dozen random extensions in the 3 weeks that all collect different personal information on browsing history at a minimum. Your README’s look AI generated, and you’re a completely anonymous account. Addit

In my experience, it’s extremely difficult to get out of the SES sandbox, for what I presume is if your account/org is under a certain amount of spend with them. While basically free under a certain amount of usage, the gatekeeping the

The city would extend a no-bid contract to run a 6-month pilot in a 3 block radius. It’d go to a random company that never did anything related to trash pick up, but one of the board members would be loosely related to the mayor. The mayor

A couple of other people answered you already in a lot of detail, so I don’t have much to add there. But I do recognize that really is a legitimate question and it feels like Yubi would benefit from running more outreach / promotion pr

A Yubikey used in that way is still more efficient and secure than every other option. Someone would need to physically take your laptop, unlock it, and get your account passwords before they could use your yubikey to login to accounts.

It's great seeing all the different approaches people can come up with to do similar things! I recently worked on a similar side project but took a very different approach. It pretty much was just: 1. A bash script in a Raspberry Pi W
