I feel with all the people who left the horrible Mailgun (we've used them for 5 years), switched to Mailjet (we luckily didn't) and are back with Mailgun now.

Tried to switch from an MBP to a XPS13. XPS13 (maxed out CPU, memory, screen) was the worst notebook I ever had, two power supplies broke, battery broke, fan broke and BIOS made a fire-alarm-level alarm every time it booted, service was abysmal, although I had a business level all-care next-day package they wanted to jump me through many loops, install firmware updates etc. before they did anything - in the end they would not come and fix the laptop.

Never again.

And most important: TF2

In many enterprises people know that sh happens. But saying so is usually a career limiting move.

People enjoy power over other people. The benefit of closing questions or moderation on Stack Overflow is questionable.

Stack Exchange has developed the same group of power people that rule Wikipedia. They have arcane rules with the major effect of keeping people out.

Stack Exchange is good to read, but hard to ask a question that is not immediately due to some rule.

Those people here are not anti-Musk but anti-Musk-holydom.

To sum up the comments:

Everyone commutes hours so this is not enough (as always readers assume everyone lives in the US).

Everyone has a house so put them there (see comment about US).

Tesla doesn't have it so it doesn't make sense.

And route all (Firefox) internet traffic of the world through the US.

I know it was a rhetorical question but here it needs to be spelled out:

None.

I was never a conspiracy buff but the hordes of shills here who think it's a good idea to send the whole worlds browsing habits to the US a country with practically no protection of data lets this seem like a long prepared operation.

The Chinese had to hack BGP to get that kind of data for a limited time.

I'm not in the business of data, so I don't know what the browsing habit of millions of people are worth.

Does anyone know how much money Mozilla gets from Cloudflare? Do they get any? I've tried to find something in Mozilla financial declarations but haven't found anything.

Would love to have a chrome plugin that shows the requirements next to the site login.

(as a hobby photographer) I went to Norway to hike 680km. Agonizing for weeks if I should take my DSLR and lenses. Took only a OnePlus6T with Google camera, Open Camera and PhotoMap. I'm happy with the results and the 2kg less in the backpack.

Executives commit crimes and the company pays the fine. This way crimes are not prevented.

Basically get no spam calls in Germany, sometimes from companies where I'm a customer.

Same here in Berlin, although it's mostly illegal there are many AirBnB flats because there are no controls. Having drunken students making party all the time isn't very fun.

Melting permafrost is releasing methane and CO2. Rising methane and CO2 levels will increase climate change. There is no "sensational" or "skew". This is like all this "may" "might" for 40 years that got us into the situation we are now. We should have said "will" 40 years ago.

People have reasons for addiction, stress, problems, depression, loneliness, boredom. They will fill it with addiction what is easily available to them, gets them out of their problems and works. Video games are more easily available to many compared to alcohol + cheaper.

If you don't remove the cause of the addiction, the person will fall back or into a new one.

What Google has is "I'll google that".

With the students I've worked (interns) with they had all "MS Office" at school but don't know the basics so I have to explain e.g. how format a document correctly and not use e.g. 'bold' to all of them when they start.

Will now avoid all 737 - the 737 MAX is clearly not a good design with the forward engines.

It looks more like they took the service down intentionally due to problems - it's still in beta. And kept the SAR signal intentionally up.

One of the good things about GDPR is, when you give data away, you're responsible to make sure and control it's not misused. You can't blame the party which you gave the data to.

Many European countries are the same, e.g. governments made sure GDPR doesn't apply to them. For example in Germany government sells data.

I loved my cube which I tuned with new graphics cards, processor cards - there was a whole community around extending cubes with hardware without active cooling.

What is the performance of this?
