And now they ship it down south to states who are happy to take it.
Beats me. Maybe they are too big to notice? Or don't care? I've done this more than once (and I don't take many Ubers). I end up paying less and the driver makes more money, so everyone is happy.
I've done this. The driver cancels your ride and you pay cash.
I've nothing against women in the workplace, but I do think it sucks that in most families both parents are forced to work in order to make ends meet. Universal childcare is the worst of both worlds - you miss out on…
For the same reason that in the winter the weather people tell you the temperature, but then are sure to include the windchill factor (which makes it sound worse). In the summer they tell you the temperature and be sure…
You can write python code on an iphone with Pythonista.
Maybe he means the person who makes the automobile can afford to buy an automobile?
But then we end up with the OOM Killer, which is awful - randomly kill the biggest process because "reasons".... It would be better if the OS could say no.
A lot of the MTA's budget is spent on interest on their debt (about $4 Billion / year). Page 23 of your report shows they currently have about $45 Billion in outstanding bonds. A cursory view seems to show about $6…
lsblk is super helpful and I've used it many, many times since I found it about 5 years ago. inxi is a new one for me. Command usage / knowledge depends on what you need and why.
Agreed, I've also been burned doing stupid things like this and always print out the commands and check them before actually doing the commit. As they say, measure twice, cut once. Don't feel bad, I think every…

It's not popular vs unpopular, it's politics. Climate science is super politicized in this country. Google is a progressive entity who claims to offer a balanced view but instead works as a bad actor and favors one…
Pick up dust, that's an interesting comment. How does stock paper help with that?
I do the same with Dropbox. I've been doing this for years and it's saved me a number of times. I don't know if there are flaws with this but it's worked better than anything I've cobbled together myself.
I find the Apple watch to be super annoying. Out of the box it reminds you to breath, stand up, go to sleep, etc. Like I was never able to do these things before by myself. Once I turned everything off it's a bit more…
Morgan Stanley pays their bonuses at the end of the year. Very few will quit in August. Only the ones who were on their way out anyway. Most will work hard to find jobs between now and December when they receive their…
Agreed, it's interesting that there are this many databases exposed directly to the internet. Hasn't anyone heard of defense in depth and proxy servers?
Yes, this a big part of how Colleges and Universities are funded. Alumni tend to contribute either to leave a legacy behind or to help the College maintain it's reputation, which in turn helps the alum's reputation for…

I think it is to make it harder for the end user to circumvent copy protection. You could just make a xerox copy of the manual and give it to your friend, but it's hard to xerox a plastic trinket.
Can you pivot and try to do something different within the same industry? Assuming you are currently working as a developer, try your hand at management / project management / sysadmin / etc? Working in a different…
Learning new things is hard.
I'm old enough to remember what it was like trying to use the Internet on a 300 baud modem. Pictures? Yay right! People born in the mid-70's like me are in the remarkable position to be old enough to remember the old…
The only reason they are still in existence is due to a chance backup they took for a tangential reason. From the sounds of it, their solution is held together with bubble gum, some tape and lots of hand waving. Being…
