This is why, despite Apple not caring about us anymore, you still see an overwhelming amount of Macs.

You wish. People are not going to go to their local PC (if they even have one) to use their smart lights. Likewise people are not going to change wireless networks everytime they need to change a smart item.

The best combo I have found is non-cloud smart devices and a solid firewall. I'm confident enough that my lightbulb isn't going to hack my Mac/Windows machine, and I can still control it when I'm at home with my phone. If I want outside control, then it's vpn time.

I disagree; have you not seen the obfuscated C contest? Any smart malicious actor will do what they want, given minor access.

Or the semi-third option; firewall the living hell out of everything with something you either wrote yourself or can read yourself. No guarantee there either but you can avoid the garbage fire that is a lot of this. I'm sure the NSA has exploits for everything tho.

Chargify. JUST DON'T DO IT! It's very limiting, the api sucks, and it's expensive. We got locked in by a dev before I was a part of things and I think before Stripe (maybe not.) Either way; just don't.

Late reply, but it often is if you find the right doctor. The problem is the right doctor is often very expensive. All doctors should do this however there are so many quacks that read webmd and think they should be part of the given and take. It reminds me of the thread about words you can use that let people know you know what you are doing. Usually once I mention "peer reviewed" it seems to help.

I've noticed that my temp is always 1 degree lower than it should be. It's never been a problem and has been that way since birth.

Try: "Getting Started"

I think the answer is obvious: a trash can or recycle bin. It's clear this could turn into a DDoS by them, but thankfully they havent thought like that. I'd prob backfire advertising wise anyway.

Sounds of things like: trips to conferences, buying SaaS subscriptions/software licenses, consultants (for the first one), etc etc

In Oakland? You just pull the bed to the side of the road and it's gone within a day, tops. Same with most metro areas.

Also a lot of non-trash-strict places will take a mattress in the trash pickup if you just put it near the trash can and make it known it's trash. Also, for the same reason it's hard to sell a mattress, it's easy to buy one used in a new city. If you can afford to heat treat it, you can be sure theres no bed bugs, or if you have a job, buy a $200-$300 mattress from amazon - theyre surprisingly good these days.

I moved 10 times in the first 3 years I was on my own, and have done huge moves up/down since (up to a three bedroom, then decided I hated owning so much and downsized to a studio.) - no family, no savings, just a lot of manual labor/smart packing.

I think ops comment stands, unless you are used to some crazy nice cost of living (which is a different privilege).

I bet the moment unlimited storage is cheap, shop owners will do it.

Super late reply (not sure if you'll see this), but no, there is no rationing like that in the US. If you need a procedure, it gets done in the next few days/week (depends on the urgency)

Late reply, but theres also schedule 2(non narcotic)

I don't smoke (never have, tried it, not for me), but I still think calling them “adult pacifiers” is an over the top, intentionally inflammatory statement that's not true. If anything, it makes your very real point that people should stop smoking seem ridiculous.

You can't expect them to keep updating old versions to work with new operating systems. I agree they should not turn off old versions, but thats not whats happening.

Me too, but when I think of 2/5, it is a little harder to picture. I don't know if that's just because I already let 4/10 get into my head though.

Except it's not limited? Have you ever opened "Keychain Access" on your Mac?

I build a Windows Service which reports to a SaaS. As-is, I have to uninstall the app and use a lot of specific tooling if I want to test a larger change and not go through a bunch of joops. I don't think I'm a good use case for VS web beside maybe fixing a typo in my repo while I'm on the go.

Years ago, I'd have called myself a dying breed, but I don't think thats true,

I wanted to have it done so badly, but now I'm with you. Anyone have a cost on analyzing your DNA privately? Then the breach is just you+1, and you could use a fake name (I know, I know, that isn't foolproof when DNA is involved)

How long before someone writes software that walks you through a series of questions (a la turbotax, but more in depth and less shit), and then spits out a series of applications. Of course you'd hand check each one, but until colleges collude on their into process, it seems possible.

Hoboken is so interesting. It was once a fairly poor neighborhood, but as real estate in NYC became what it is, many moved to Hoboken and now houses that were 300k when I was younger are 1mil+. The views are astounding.

Amen, the communal aspect is well worth it. Especially due to BnB's (not AirBnBs) are a bit more expensive, so the community is self selecting. You have to want to be there.

Have you never heard of a traditional BnB? The charm is a welcoming host, home cooked breakfast, a small group of like minded travelers to talk to, and unique accommodations. Usually there's 2-8 bedrooms. They've been together since the dawn of modern civilization.

As long as the host stays out of your way when you need (eg, anytime other than when you need them), it's rather quite nice. It's hard to beat the conversation you have over a glass of wine after dinner. I've made lifelong friends this way.

Sure, no one wants to stay in someone's studio with a wall divider, but thats absurd.

Most snapchat/whatsapp dealers are 100% fake. Engage with them and see how fast it turns into the same scam language someone on Craigslist trying to buy your item from another state is.

Most trafficking is not forced or exploitive. It's some poor person seeing a quick payday and going for it.

Beside, most drugs flowing into the US are from underground tunnel, or shipping container, or the back of a commercial truck. At one point they were buying used 747s, flying them full of coke to the US, and then just ditchiing the plane because they made way more than the cost of the plane.

The patent thing is the real difference. With the amount of citizens India has, it's the perfect storm. Any company can make anything (but the output is monitored), and the amount of people and their low salary make most drugs fairly cheap.

or schedule 2

First rule of inhousepharmacy...

So common. Ive had all of these happen, too. I didn't know not being registered to vote could hurt you, was that in the US? I assume not due to BT being mentioned.

AT&T is currently doing the same thing BT did to you. I closed my account and shipped back hardware a year ago. Since then, they have been reporting either a bill with a random number from $100-3,000 or 0, and being either on time or late or none. It's maddening.
