Health insurance companies do actually care, unfortunately. They're incentivized to embrace higher prices since they have to spend at least 80% of premiums on payouts. If you have a fixed margin, well, you have to…
That's a good point. I definitely have too much of a US-centric view on this as I'm not very familiar with the project and was assuming at least a few of the major people involved are living in the US or a country…
My guess is that RIAA will pursue it until they either win legally or exhaust and frighten everyone away from it and it becomes a much less powerful tool. It's not like DMCA notices are their only option after all (and…
The problem with this is that DMCA isn't the only option the RIAA has by a long shot. The DMCA is a tool to get a platform to stop hosting content the rights holder believes is infringing. There's nothing stopping the…
If it truly is a national security concern and not politics, this should be the obvious conclusion. How do we know some Facebook employee isn't siphoning data to the CCP right now? How do we know the US won't someday…
Looks interesting! You mentioned in the docs that it would be simpler once abstractions develop and that made me realize it's similar to facebook/dataloader, just used across requests instead of batching up all of the…
I came across this last night (http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2018/09/28/the-relative-performa...) and went down the rabbit hole of Rust and its BTreeSet (http://cglab.ca/~abeinges/blah/rust-btree-case/). They came to a…
The title on this seems pretty misleading. This is really a guide on how to use the escapeshellarg when you should use escapeshellcmd (or the opposite). Of course, the API of system() is pretty awful, so there is an…
It doesn't have built in support for it since it's just using dnsmasq under the hood, but you can install something like dnscrypt-proxy and then configure pi-hole (i.e. dnsmasq) to use it as its upstream DNS server.
I'm not quite sure you can just hand wave away the harmfulness. It's very possible that a lot of people would feel highly violated by it. It basically takes away your control over your modesty and to an extent even the…
It's more like running valet parking and leaving other people's cars unlocked. Yeah, you should update your process so that your drivers lock the cars, but oh man, that's kind of hard. What if we just tell people their…
It's not officially part of the Pi Hole project, but I've been using https://hub.docker.com/r/diginc/pi-hole/ for about six months on a Raspberry Pi (though they support other platforms) and had no issues. They also…
The only company I've worked at with an ESPP required you to hold the stock for 1 year before selling--not in the sense of tax incentives unfortunately, but you literally cannot sell before 1 year. I didn't realize…
It's important to remember that this is putting all of your eggs in one basket to a certain extent though. Your income, your 401k match, and your ESPP are all tied to your employer, so as long as things are good, ESPPs…
One aspect is that arbitration agreements almost always block class action lawsuits which can be hugely advantageous to a company. If a group of people have their rights or contacts violated, each must now pursue it…
Exactly! In fact, that's embarrassingly concise given my rambling. The only major thing missed is that the hash input has to contain something that the attack doesn't know in addition to the message. Or in other words,…
Authentication in this context means baking in a way to verify that what you receive is something you encypted and has not been altered. Or, in other words, it lets you know that the data hasn't been tampered with. As a…
> Callbacks, promises, generators are all there to essentially make async code sync I think they actually do quite the opposite: they keep async code async. JavaScript doesn't really have a (non-terrible) way to make…
