It Does not have the vpn component but I have been very happy with nextdns for mobile ad blocking

This is an overly negative comment, I work in the tech field and visit HN for tech content, but value and learn from the posting and discussion of other topics. Please ignore these posts if they are not of interest.

This is one of my favourite stories, this documentary is pretty good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2042455/

This book goes into a lot more detail: https://www.amazon.com/Project-Azorian-CIA-Raising-K-129/dp/...

The engineering behind the gimble required to hold the huge length of pipe required to reach the sub is quite something.

+1 for pihole, the difference between home and public browsing on my phone is striking. Considering setting up a vpn with proxy to have this functionality all the time

I had the same situation in the UK a few years ago, the bank would not accept 25k in Euro or sterling; then when it came to electronic transfer, bank to bank, the bank would not guarantee the validity of the transaction for 8 weeks. Made the sale of the vehicle a little scary

Good point about being closer to the PM, I don't think the feedback gets to the right place in the larger organizations; will take a look, thanks!

That would require physical access to my phone, and access to the content on it, vs convincing a telephone company to transfer my cell number to a different sim. I'm less concerned about the former.

I may be misunderstanding your question?

Phone numbers can be remapped to new sim cards:

Checked with fidelity, they don't offer read only and state 'There is no need to create them as Mint is naturally read only' hah.

Thanks for the tip ! I have reached out to Ally to see if they provide RO creds.

Preparation for me:

- note all the key points you want to make, collate into groups, these become slides

- generate slides, focus on diagram not text, you are going to speak the text. Ensure a key is present if necessary

- if the diagrams are complex, do a flick book : generate the final picture and duplicate the slide subtracting content working backwards, you will end up with lots of slides but they print cleanly stand alone and are clear

- print the slides . Write notes along side them, repeat repeat repeat, distill into the following per slide:

3 intro points

3 content points

3 summary points

And most importantly .. a lead into the next slide; these become your notes

-give the talk, the notes slides are your anchors, you can easily glance down to remember where you are if you are lost, giving the 3 summary points builds your confidence along the way, and the link to the next slide keeps everything flowing nicely

- if you are nervous. Get a plant in the audience to ask you an easy question on the 2nd or 3rd content slide, I calm down immediately if I get a question I can answer early on

Good luck !

Get magnet from the App Store, it's better than windows!

I would love the following: Charge up an account with $n Every time I visit a site, have the ability to pay n cents to view (with whitelist /auto bill to max per day) Gated auto reload with alerting

I pay a buck a month to Wikipedia. I have a New York Times subscription but I would rather just pay as I go across the board. There is great content out there (I would pay for Hn using this model) but I don't want a million subscriptions

I have 2 of these, excellent battery life:

AquaAudio Cubo - Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker with Suction Cup for Showers, Car, etc. - Pairs with All Bluetooth Devices + Siri Compatible - 10 hours Playtime/ Built-in Mic (Silver) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7KJV2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.Nuy...

A cli is available as a separate app

Just leave some 8" floppies in the parking lot ;)

^^this, I would gladly micropay for numerous outlets , i don't want to have to manage multiple different subscriptions. In fact I would take it further and auto approve payment for my visit to avoid the click, set a limit of $n per source and/or $n total spend per month.

Nice! As a heavy user of postagram .. (#1 grandson.. Check) An iOS app that makes this appear in the print options please then I can..: login to a central site afterwards and choose the content I want to print -> snail mail it to destination

Additionally you could Offer printers to local stores, I could print to my bodega/gas station/Amazon parcel drop/staples etc (Pickup the job via qr code displayed on phone/Apple Pay) for things I need now

I was introduced to latex by a German student in my telecoms lab. Armed with a handful of examples I wrote all my papers from then on in Tex. The thing that really struck me, I concentrated on the content not the formatting. Word etc require so much fiddling to get it looking right, it takes energy away from actually writing your paper!

I bought a couple of these for the office, very good. They come with guards so you can bounce them off the wall and so far no damage
