For those who haven't watch 'Star Trek Into Darkness' in awhile, go watch it again and note how the guy walks into the ultra secure facility and plugs in Khan's thumb-drive. That's how it goes down when shit gets real.
Just for your benefit / future reference, the word “specially” refers to a special case, as in “John was specially selected to carry out the ceremony.” The word “especially” however, refers to something that exceeds the norm, as in “It was especially ironic that I used the word incorrectly while correcting someone else.”
What a refreshing response. Even though I can appreciate the value that monetizing a product has for the users of that product (updates and continued support), it’s nice to be reminded that we don’t have to monetize every project we engage with. Believe it or not, sometimes people just want to give back. Thanks for your efforts. That being said, when a project becomes popular enough that people are all but throwing money at you, don’t be afraid to do them a favor and provide paid support if you are so inclined.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been absolutely smoked in 5k races by people who were 40+. Instead of offending those people by implying they don’t have the stamina to keep up, just say no. People respect “no.” No one respects disingenuous language.
Speaking from experience (lived in Alaska for over 20 years), I would suggest investing in an elliptical. A lot of people make the mistake of slacking on their cardio because lifting gets them to where they want to be physically. IMO you shouldn’t view cardio as exercise for your body, but as relief for your mind. Keep lifting and eating right, but make sure you get in some vigorous cardio (sweat and make yourself run out of breath). I would suggest doing your cardio in the morning before you start your day. When you get to the point where you’re feeling good about yourself, invest in some nice clothes and go show off a little! The attention might help distract you.
This is in response to this comment, as well as the parent: Minimize your trust in all-in-one authentication services. A password manager is reasonable (still makes me nervous), because it makes it simple to have a different complex password for every account. But taking Persona for instance, it claims "free yourself from password management". Don't do that. When you free yourself from managing your security, you are not secure. It really is as simple as that. Security takes diligence. One could even say that security is diligence. The harder you make it for yourself, the more secure you are.
Regarding the possibility of locking yourself out of your accounts, one suggestion that I have is to have one or more primary accounts that you use to recover all of you less critical accounts, and keep the device used for authenticating to those at home, preferable in a safe. Do not use this device for your normal 2FA - only use it as 2fa and recovery for the primary recovery accounts.
For the remaining accounts, use a separate device that you carry around with you. This way when you eventually lose access to something, you'll have a better chance of getting it back. In other words, a lost phone wont necessarily turn into a catastrophe because you've lost your only means of 2fa.
Correction noted and accepted. Thanks. In this particular thought experiment, dark energy (not dark matter as originally stated) has been replaced by the shape of space, and due to our inability to directly detect such extra-dimensional curvature we have defined this energy as a placeholder (which would not exist if this experiment proved to be true).
Super weird food for thought, but I used to think about the universe a lot as a kid, and back then we were under the assumption that the expansion of the universe was slowing. At some point that viewpoint changed and we now believe it is accelerating, hence the emergence of so called dark matter. Anyway, this led me to envision a fourth dimension, a sphere. Imagine that our universe began at any arbitrary point on the inside of this sphere, and then orient the sphere so that we are at the bottom (like a penny inside of an inflated balloon). Now imagine (don’t believe, just imagine) that our universe is expanding at a constant rate. As we approach the equator of this sphere, the area that we must cover grows larger, but once we pass the equator it begins to grow smaller. And so what might appear to us as slowing down and speeding up could just be the shape of space changing, and not the speed of expansion. Again, just food for thought.
As someone who was born as part of the race and gender being disparaged in the above comments, maybe I should be thankful. Yes, those comments were slightly hurtful, but mostly it was just really weird feeling hatred from another person based on the color of my skin and gender. I haven’t had a chance to feel that very often, and I honestly think the exercise was meaningful. Thanks for putting me in that position to know how much it hurts when people blindly hate based on race and gender. It might help me see things differently in the future (shrug). That being said, I would never disparage another race in the way that you just did. Way to keep it classy.
It's the most tiresome thing there is. Take your position, that's prudent. Cultivating this world takes personal sacrifice. I don't blame you for not wanting to take that burden in full, and frankly, much of your time would be wasted in the effort. Personally, I will die a poor man when this planet is through with me, and that's ok. I would even go so far as to say it's my goal. The scores we keep may be different. Take your money to the grave. I'll be taking the changes that I've made.
I can %100 percent relate with giving up on caring. But your voice matters, maybe a lot more than you realize. Don't give up on us. People are difficult, but we all have beauty hidden within us. We will care if you show us how. We're all the same, but lines have been drawn that we must rage against with logic and passion. You have them both, but you are a warrior without armor. Shield yourself with a cool temperament and your enemies will fall before you.
Thank you for taking the effort to clarify your point. I think you would be received more openly if you approached it with a bit less passion. I know what it's like to be a passionate person though, so I can relate with that.
I didn't downvote you (I don't really downvote, thank you for those who do though), but I think the reason this was voted down is because you didn't provide any substance in your answer, and put a potentially large burden on those who were curious (how much shit will we have to wade through to get to your point). I would suggest giving a brief overview of your point before sending people down a rabbit hole. We just don't have time for that.
As a semantic aside, the index call to the single reference was unnecessary, lol. Just trying to help.
Key word arguments. And I would consider the pythonic approach to be more pragmatic than anything. The language isn't haughty, it just does what it's told. That being said, you've provided a perfect example of what haughty looks like.
There are two things in this world that I have no problem with anyone in need stealing - food and music. I will politely look away. When I was a kid I pirated music, as well as music production software. I grew up pretty poor and I wouldn't have had those things otherwise (the only reason we had a computer was because of oil dividends given to all Alaskan residents once per year). I don't feel like anyone really lost out because of me downloading those things when I was young. But I know that the music industry eventually gained a lifetime subscriber (currently Apple Music, for many years now - family plan), and don't even get me started on the money I drop on software synthesizers. The good fortune that drizzled on me as a kid came back to those people as a raging storm. Advertisers know exactly what they need to show me when they want more of my money (those sweet, shiny synths), and I'm not even mad at them. They're almost like books now, where I don't even need to use them, I just like having them and knowing they're mine. That being said, as a long time amateur electronic musician, I'd love for people to pirate my music. As it stands I can't seem to even pay them to take it (with music that is).
Be wary of generalized advice. Most people suck, and for them that advice is probably sound. But there are diamonds in this world, and when you pass them by they are gone.
Thank you for your hard work. I've enjoyed countless hours meditating while chipping away at blocks that later went towards my castles. Anything further that you choose to release, I thank you again. And thank you for providing the venue to allow me to connect with my little brother, for that I can never repay you.
Devil's advocate here. If a toddler crawled out of a plastic play house and told you that they would arrest you for one million years if you went into the house, how worried would you be?
The more liars that enter the job market who are unable to deliver on their empty promises, the more valued the people who actually put in the work will become. So go ahead and lie, make my day.
As with most decisions that Apple makes lately, you are correct, it is not a disaster for them. Just like when you stick your middle finger up at another person, usually you won’t personally feel offended by your own finger. And if you don’t care if that person comes back to speak to you again or not, then I guess you’ve “won”.
