Sure, do you want evidence that generic manufacturers don't follow strict quality control and equivalency testing? I can dig those up from the FDA's database. Do you want evidence that generics manufacturers fake their equivalency

I believe 13% of people+families survive under $12k/year in the U.S, i.e poverty. Stretching $7k with one person living in a city, is by no means impossible. Extremely uncomfortable by what you may have become accustomed to? Of course.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I got flagged for "posting too often," and just gave up after not being able to post this for a few hours: Qubes is marketed as a VM for the "intermediate IT professional," i.e one that can

Living off $12k is not in any realm of "impossible" in a first world country. It may come as a surprise (halfly sorry for the snark), but most of the world (60%) lives under less than $1800/yr. The dreadfulness and despair of

I'm not sure you've personally used "'pretty good'" treatment. There's a reason why generics and off-branded items are so cheap, and it's not because they don't do marketing. If you don't kn

YES, BUT WHOSE SITES ARE THESE? I had a tough time trying to find some of these websites, like "Scale." Which doesn't own scale.com or scale.io or any other derivative, but "scaleapp.com."

The greatest trick the devil ever played, was to convince everyone he was stupid. The second part of Hanlon's Razor, was to not rule out malice.

It's a cultural-fit thing. You can, but there are the zealous who will deny you.

Hey, this is neat! Unfortunately, after skimming the changelog, it still seems they're trotting along with Xen, and any "intermediate IT" person would still be using a bespoke solution.

I think anyone that's looking for porn on Google is too lost to save. Polite society has moved on to better SERPs like Bing, Yandex, and thou that shalt not be shared. And that more than 90% of all searches with "girl" are fo

Not really. If you know the patterns threat actors are using to deanonymize you, you can spoof yours to mimic the mean. You can even spoof them to create "writing profiles" for each of your identities. I know I already do.

Hosts list. Doesn't work as well on mobile. Unsure how Waze does their ads, but on mobile you get a white box with "Couldn't load!" or something of that sort instead of no ad at all.

I tried doing this, but many subreddits have a restriction against account ages. I frequently find myself being unable to post (or I am, but my posts are in the "shadows" with no notice), without getting an AutoMod telling me: 1).

I disagree that glue is expensive and complex. When you build a ply-wood tower in school to see who's holds up the most to compression, you don't douse your entire structure in glue. You get points off, because it adds so much to

"Stratechery." When I first read it, it sounded like a break-down on startup founders' stretching of their "trajectory" as a sure thing. This includes their "strategy," i.e their well-typeset pitch deck th

Anything sufficiently complex can be broken down into simpler pieces. This includes most developer generalists.
