Microwave is also affected by weather. They sometimes say that markets are slightly less efficient on rainy days. It’s a bit of a joke, but basically packet loss goes way up and they rely more on fiber links when microwave links are being shitty.

You make a contract with a company that does layer 3 ddos protection, you advertise a route including their AS on a subset of your prefixes and they route to you over a GRE tunnel.

Kagi has the same problem for me. The results don't load about 50% of the time. I had to cancel my subscription because I couldn't just roll the dice every time I searched to see if it would come back. Happens to all devices on my network.

The budget is already approved, the debt limit has nothing to do with it, it's just a cudgel with which one party bludgeons the other. It serves no other purpose.

Unfortunately (in the case of TRUST stores) it uses pkcs12 in a non-standard way. You cannot, for example, use openssl pkc12 to create a p12 store java can read. Java expects some oracle-specific non-standard attributes on the bag.

PKCS12 keystores work fine, however.

This is absolutely true. Checking if their reports are going to be impediments to their goals is critical for managers, especially if those goals were themselves aligned with THEIR managers. You don't want to assign significant responsibility to someone who might drag their feet on something.

I've never seen a response indicating the content is not subject to negotiation. I generally only see that the response is not acceptable (i.e. the client has indicated they can't accept it) and the server skips processing the request.

When I worked a summer at BJ's (a similar wholesale club) the manager informed me that this was by design. I was asking why we needed to move all the stuff, if we were discontinuing or something. He said nope, we just have to do this every now and then because it keeps people shopping longer. There may be an added "experience" element to it as well, but this was an eye opener to me as a teen.

It's actually worse than that. The first 3 groupings (textually) of the uuid might be little endian while the other 2 are big endian. Learning this cost me more time than I care to admit.

Better down the drain then to radiate it back into your air. Then you gotta spend more energy pumping that heat outside (if you live in a hotter climate like I do).

If you look at (at least one) of the recent articles (try AP or reuters), the board mentioned that the deal is still subject to both shareholder and regulatory approval. That's where it is. Shareholders still have to vote, and the concept of "fairness" will be roughly equal to that of democratic elections. Sometimes the majority votes for a thing and the minority has to accept it in order to make progress.

The board basically voted to stop standing in the way of the deal and submit it to shareholders themselves since they confirmed that A) it seems like an ok deal and B) it's likely to not waste everyone's time.

No, it was not.

Firefox works with keychain in mac, there's specific settings you have to use. They seem to be considered enterprise features so they'r ehidden in the about:config settings.

When I was instructed to deliver someone's layoff paperwork I had to do this. I scheduled a meeting with the guy with no good purpose, just a meeting in a weird room nobody usually uses for meetings (we were laying off a lot of people). He immediately asked me what it was for, and of course I couldn't answer. He knew then exactly what it was about.

They can start the process. Once that process is started your career inside the company is basically over. Even if you survive it (and/or survive the PIP) you will not want to work there anymore. May as well be fired at that point.

There's no accrued PTO. You just work it out with your mgr and then just...go. And you get paid for it (at least in the companies I've had it) and come back and just go back to work.

They certainly test for basic health, or did with me. I had to give blood and urine, and a nurse came to check other vitals. They also get your basic measurements which gives them BMI. They can then categorize you into "preferred" or other groups.

No, they own a significant minority stake.

I think this is part of why getting hired through connections is even more important in this field, and why it's also interesting that so many members of the field look down on that very process.

I agree it's not very meritocratic, but it DOES get people in front of people more qualified to pattern match their qualifications more quickly.

The problem with getting more people in front of the actual hiring team is the "charlatans" other people have mentioned in this thread will effectively waste the (very expensive) time of said team. Using a (less expensive) recruiter as a first stage seems rational until you discover the high rate of false negatives.

I've mulled this problem a lot and I still come up empty on a new, more effective way to solve it.

This is actually a fairly big deal in enterprise sales. I learned that one of the reasons my company didn't use Slack and opted for a larger company's (arguably inferior) clone was that Slack was basically not suable (blood from a stone and all that). My company basically wanted the ability to hold the provider liable for a breach. I look around at our other vendors and most of them appear to be capable of weathering a lawsuit, whereas Slack (at that time) was not. Now...however....things have changed. :)

Ritalin is not "an amphetamine" but rather a psychostimulant. It's a DEA schedule II regulated drug.

Strattera works via a different mechanism and (supposedly) is likely not to be habit-forming. Ritalin definitely can be habit-forming.

...Aren't they, though? At least in my country/state they are.

This is exactly it. It's basically fractional reserve banking all over again, except that instead of dollars, we use shares.

It may be in the national interest to impose "reserve requirements" on brokerages in order to prevent too much perversion of market prices.

I actually did the math on this once, believe it or not. Based on where I live (fairly high carbon emissions from our local utility, though they have deployed more solar recently), switching to an all-electric car would have roughly the same effect carbon-wise as moving to a 60mpg car. YMMV. My math may not be perfect, but it seems that while not a perfect solution, switching to electric cars DOES improve efficiency somewhat carbon-wise. I'm on the side of not letting perfect become the enemy of good.

The article is talking about this from a unilateral perspective. Yes, multi-laterally the optimal strategy is to invest together in the war. This looks like a classic prisoner's dilemma to me.

That last sentence is extremely scary. Do you have a source?

The problem is if your TRR can be associated with you, then outgoing queries to authoritative servers can be tracked.

What's the issue with having TLS-based authoritative lookups? I know it seems out of scope for what Mozilla's asking, but it seems like the missing piece of the puzzle to me.

It's great if your recursive resolver is trusted (maybe you trust cloudflare or nextdns), but what if you don't trust anyone and want to run your own TRR? From what I can see from my own TRR the queries to authoritative DNS are sent in the clear... Edit On further thought, I realize that querying myanimememes.com's authoritative DNS CAN reveal which site you're interested in, but I believe most sites delegate their authoritative DNS these days to third parties.

You can drill through concrete with a cordless drill too, they're definitely good enough, especially with modern batteries.

I would just say use a low clutch setting on your power tools and you should be safe. My lowest clutch settings are weaker than my hand tightening.
