He’s in the same bucket as Greta Thunberg. They just like to scream and blame people instead of providing practical solutions.
Greta Thunberg is 22 years old right now, and was “screaming” and “blaming people” when she was 11 years old.
She saw the world she was going to inherit and forced conversation to work toward solutions. Expecting an 11 year old to provide answers that none of the established world has is silly.
It would be cool if it could somehow integrate to a VPN and only do that while the VPN is active. I don’t think it’s possible, though
Potentially possible, but I agree, likely not worth the effort.
Bottom of keyboard? Are you out of space on your monitor to place additional Post-its with user credentials on them? /s
When was the last time you checked the length of your DHCP lease?
I’m past caring about giving my IP to a website that I want to use, but what this is doing is handing out your information to every single advertiser that is published on any page you visit. In some cases this plugin would match the definition of “leaking personal data”.
You do you though. I won’t stop you.
If you care about your information and privacy, why are you giving them your information for nothing?
That HTTP request would also show up in the advertisers web logs with your origin IP address.
My email provider allows for unlimited aliases. So, while I have 600+ email addresses, emails to them all end up in the same mailbox.
I do this too. The unique email address I create for each is identifiable to the place I’m using it. This has other benefits. If an organization you created and account with sells or has a data breech you know exactly which company it was when you start receiving spam or phishing email directed to that address. This is also nice because you can “black hole” that email address and all the spam goes with it even future spam not sent yet.
and sticking a hypodermic needle into an officer’s penis, according to a report.
That’s a very brave act to do to someone in building full of guns within arms reach.
“You’re on trial for shooting a co-worker to death. What is your defense?”
“He intentionally stuck a hypodermic needle in my penis”
“Case dismissed, you’re free to go.”

So far, speaking from experience, we saved loads of money DIY’ing it, even when deploying to the cloud, and we saved loads of time, in the long run.
First, I’m glad its working for you up to now. I’ve been in similar orgs. It works great, until it doesn’t. Have you had an production outage yet from a datacenter or hardware failure yet?
Should I ask home much did your Broadcom licensing renewal cost you this year?
If you hire talented workers, you save money and time, by DIYing the approach, as long as it’s done in a sane, and controlled manner.
Talented workers that know the systems are great, and if you’ve built your own systems and processes finely tuned to your specific applications performance needs and profiles, it also means you’ve got a highly specialized infrastructure and app stack. You’ve possibly built yourself a scaling problem because the skill needed to understand and maintain your well performing one-off solution isn’t ubiquitous. As your organization’s needs scale it will be tied directly to the additional limited specialized and expensive staff needed. Again, this may not be an issue with your org today, but it may not have hit this need yet. This is the “Only time will tell” component that is so important. As in, your sample size may not be large enough to know if your org made the right decision or not yet.
Wise companies have limited themselves to the basics
“Wise” is subjective here. Using a cloud vendor’s implementation can yield many times more efficiency, simplicity, stability, scalability, and agility vs rolling you own. Does it come with the cost of vendor lock-in? It absolutely can. Will that make migration to another vendor difficult? It will.
So for organizations that never embraced the cloud alternatives have had to maintain their own infrastructure or use commodity solutions, as you mentioned, to deliver their IT needs. How much more was spent using a general purpose approach with higher portability to deliver the same result vs a cloud providers proprietary version? Then include the time component.
Only time will tell.
For a CEO these days that’s an accomplishment to earn just a shrug.
The ACA was a victory. Do we need better? Absolutley! However, I’m not sure if you remember healthcare before it. Remember “pre-existing conditions” or being charged for wellness checkup? Also, women paid significantly more for healthcare than men did. Balancing that back to equal was important.
Dad gave a me a toy so it is ok that he gets drunk and gives me the belt bulk. No wonder peasants can’t seem to see the picture
If you’re “all or nothing” you’ll get nothing. We could have had real change on Climate Change too if “cap and trade” was adopted, but someone just like you said it didn’t go far enough, and we got nothing instead.
There has also been very little action towards anti-competitive practices for a very long time.
Obama establishing the CFPB was a pretty big win for Americans.
One that’s happy with a refilled toner.
Here’s the challenge. Is it possible to create a refilled/remanufactured toner cartridge as good as an original? Absolutely! Is the one you’re buying meet that standard? There’s no way to tell.
You could have bought a garbage refilled toner where the company did less than the minimum needed for it to function. There’s no standards body for these. The best you can do is buy from a company known to do good reman work. If you work at a company that still has a fleet of printers, and your IT team still maintains them, ask what brand they use.
I wasn’t suggesting buying on Amazon. I’m pointing out one oligarch is feeding on another, which may cause retaliatory actions by the other oligarch.
This book is also available on Amazon, which I imagine will cause some Zuck on Bezos frowning at their next trump meeting.
Thank you for posting this. I had always understood creation of a qubit was a solved problem. This was an area of Quantum Computing I didn’t know was a problem in search of a solution.
Carbon tax.
In this micro example, imagine if you could access all of your data for free when there as abundant sunshine (carbon free), or had to pay for carbon based energy at night. You’d start to sort your data for what you really wanted so that you’d only be paying a small amount for a small amount of data.
