jsperx··on Mercury – Banking built for startups
Looks very cool. What is the preferred way to deposit checks? I see it mentioned on the FAQ as “add new funds” flow, but I’m thinking more like payment for invoices from old-school customers.

Do you support an RDC scanner, or would it be recommended to use a traditional bank and then electronically transfer it in from them, or wait for a mobile app?

jsperx··on Best Practices for AWS Lambda Container Reuse
I was actually at an AWS event and they mentioned that, so I searched and found this article... https://www.jeremydaly.com/aurora-serverless-data-api-a-firs...

...that says it’s REALLY slow.

What was the name of the company? My management responsibility at work includes networks (by default, we are small) and I always say I don’t have to know/care that you’re using BitTorrent (encrypted/port shifting), so much as there’s an anomaly on the network impacting others. I’d rather have something flagging “hmm this is atypical” based on size/src/dst/ports then try to make rules ahead of time that might miss new trends.

Thanks. CA here also and had no idea what that referred to.

jsperx··on A Blue Pill Is Stopping HIV, World-First Study Shows
I have personally paid $1700 out of pocket for a month’s supply of PrEP, despite insurance AND membership in Gilead’s “advancing access” co-pay assistance program.

Gilead intended the program to cover about $300/mo, in order to cover your co-pay until your deductible is satisfied. That worked fine until this year, when UnitedHealthcare decided to re-class my card from co-pay assistance to a “manufacturer’s coupon” — thus accepting Gilead’s money while it lasted but still expecting me to pickup the full tab until my deductible.

:(

It’s to highlight the “Keep”/“Manage” UI that iOS 12 will have to silence apps that abuse notifications.
jsperx··on Announcement: RT and Sputnik Advertising
Ugh, exactly: drowning in corpo-speak. “We have decided to remove...” is apparently too clear.

Reminds me of my company’s HR department, where employees don’t quit, they “separate.” We don’t train, we “in-service”. Etc.
