When I started dating my girlfriend I thought I was right all the time. Eventually, she pointed out that I’m only right about half the time, no big deal. After years of marriage, I can see that I’ve never been right.
If I could use a technology to be right 50% of the time that would be amazing. Hahaha. Kind of kidding.
My favorite cocktail is an old fashioned. Depending on the bar, bourbon won’t be the biggest differentiator. Some places hurt my soul and use too much simple syrup and make it too sweet. Others put a bunch of small ice cubes which quickly melt and that’s not great either. Woodford is solid and widely available. I can’t remember the last time I haven’t had that stocked at home 😊
Bulleit is my go-to for cocktails at a bar. It’s a fine flavor, widely available, and not too expensive. If you’re ordering a cocktail you really don’t need anything too nice because you’re masking/blending the flavor with others. Buffalo Trace is my other go-to for the same reasons there.
Getting a nice bourbon neat, well, that’s usually so expensive at a bar I’ll only get it if the company is paying 😅
Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades?
Class members, estimated in the tens of millions, may receive up to $20 per Siri-enabled device, such as iPhones and Apple Watches.
Seeing as more than half the country uses an iPhone, I can’t imagine getting anywhere near “up to $20”. You’re probably right.
I find it hilarious that the image is of Google Play and the title used the word “this”. Pretty misleading
The more expensive Bike+ does it, but not the regular one. It’s a hard sell given the price difference.
I looked up a list of countries without extradition to the US and it’s a short list today. I’m not sure what it was when this took place, but it’s probably quite similar. Not many of the options seem like an appealing long term plan 🙃
I recall Snowden speaking out against WikiLeaks because they were a seemingly unfiltered trove of secrets disseminated, and he considered it reckless. Whereas Snowden worked with Greenwald and his team and ultimately had them figure out what to be published.
I definitely remember WikiLeaks and the Clinton campaign though! I thought that was a Julian Assange thing.
It’s pretty crazy that he left his cushy job getting paid a government contractor salary and living in Hawaii and end up in Russia living in exile. He didn’t strike me as someone who hates America - but someone who hated the abuse of power and lies. Which is all the more ironic. I still can’t reconcile it. I understand that America isn’t ALWAYS the good guy, and it’s got a long history of awful things. But Russia? I still don’t get it.
I’ve read about a dozen of his works, and probably more if you count short stories. I really enjoy his writing style. I started with the Homeland series and have gone backwards and forwards. His latest work reads similar to Neil Gaiman’s in a sense that I’m hooked and drawn into a new universe. Homeland was EXCELLENT. His earlier stuff is really creative and very detailed. The way he breaks down and describes how tech works is accurate and detailed. He’s got 4 short stories that make up a works called Radicalized that really well describe the awful experience some people get fiscally locked into in tech.
TLDR: yes.
It looked cool. I don’t think I made it past 15 minutes. They wanted to tell me a story with words, not show me a story through actions and emotion. I know, it’s early and they needed to establish a background, but I couldn’t take it.
My Nvidia 1070 with 8gb vram is still playing all of my games. Not everything gets Ultra, nor my monitor isn’t 4K. Forever I am the “value buyer”. It’s hard to put money into something that is marginally better though. I thought 16g would be a no-brainer.
That’s a very well put together overview. Thanks for taking care of this!
“I’d buy that for a dollar”
My understanding is that when signing a liability waiver, first the acknowledgement of risk happens, and then the release of liability. State by state it can be a little bit different for releasing liability, depending on the interpretation. I looked up where I live, and that liability waiver isn’t upheld if one can prove damages (possibly death, in which case someone has to sue upon my lifeless corpse) caused by intentional recklessness, not simply neglect.
That’s upsetting. Running a load test weeks ahead of time to identify the upper bounds of app and infrastructure would have be a good idea… But 🤷♂️ I’ve lived through large marketing initiatives where us engineers were not involved and didn’t forecast a need to scale beyond normalcy before too.
This was a crucial step in Apple’s journey into becoming a trillion dollar company. Dongles.
How has GitHub been enshittified? It’s a genuine question, because I’ve thought Microsoft has been a pretty good steward of it until now.
