> Why would an IP rights-holder believe you? Because in addition to all the filthy pirated booty I stole, I would also show them this: * My 350+ physical CD collection * My 200+ physical DVD/Blu-Ray * My entire merch…
This is what I'm asking... It's like going to the wholesaler and wondering why they don't have a nice pretty brick-and-mortar to buy from. GS doing consumer credit just seems like a large impedance mismatch in various…
Look at the dip in Permian versus Haynesville, Eagle Ford, Barnett and Fayetteville. Permian is West Texas where I said I was and it didn't even dip below the previous low. East Texas is a whole other country...
I'm not sure how much it would really be needed. Part of my family owned and operated a gas measurement business in West Texas and I don't recall ever having to do anything special for winter conditions on pipelines.…

Maybe it's just me and my bad attitude toward products today but this could explain why everything seems to be turning into low-quality garbage. I'm not a millionaire business man so I must be doing it wrong, but…
I watch primarily wildlife documentaries, educational lectures, and podcasts related to academic topics like paleontology, archaeology, ancient history, and other subjects. I don't want music, live shows, television,…
My Service Provider License Agreement states that I am able to circumvent any ad technology when using my own devices. It is free. The "with ads" part is someone else's opinion. If you don't want ad-blockers, shut it…

I'm not telling you what to do, but I really wish this kind of thinking would stop. I've spilled concentrated round-up all over my arms and legs many times because I used it regularly as weed control all over my…
In a data center you have racks of computers performing all of the workloads. At this point these racks are fairly standardized in terms of sizing and ancillary features. These are built-out to solve the following: *…
I've thought along the same lines. I currently have some personal projects going in this direction. My vision is to create a set of tools that would allow you to set up a micro infrastructure to self-host all of these…
There's no reason to have a URL (or any data) encoded in the state parameter. The purpose of the parameter is to provide an opaque lookup key which you can utilize to provide correct, validated responses. This is…
I currently pay $5/month to the Kevin Richardson channel as a member and have been a member since inception for over 4 years now. When I went to the members section of YouTube to view my members-only videos I received…
I worked at an educational institution where we ran an academic-focused Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that was fairly large. Not quite 40k tables, but it had over 4k. To give you an idea of how this was…
It's really just the effort and time to understand the data structures and API considerations between the two systems. Saying something is a UNIX doesn't absolve you of the duty of knowing how the specific UNIX was…
This is interesting. Part of my life was working with a water well driller running a rig for my grand-father's business a long time ago. The technique is virtually identical but with a hydraulic lift for running the…

I think it could be argued that the basic form of this was around as X.509 certificates far before blockchains. I'm not sure what the history would be before that, though. Also, in my mind at least, the idea for doing…
> would it sound different? I don't believe it would. While there can be pretty bad PRNGs, they are typically implemented to produce a particular statistical distribution which would be identical to a real random source…
I recently set up my own self-hosted email solution again and made sure to do all of these things: * Proper A and MX record set up in DNS per SMTP standards * Proper SPF record in DNS * Proper DMARC record in DNS *…

When I was doing disaster recovery we measured three things: 1) the likelihood of a particular scenario, 2) the magnitude of the impact if the scenario unfolded, and 3) the level of effort expected to recover. It was…
