And I don’t think checking your luggage for pot would be a priority under those conditions anyhow.

Happy to do so; thanks for the head's up. I use Firefox exclusively and an increasing number of people I work with do as well, except for testing.

> "[...] every purchasing department will approve a reimbursement for WeWork with no questions asked."

I think this is just a smidge over-optimistic, considering what I know of finance teams at companies I've worked at, past and present.

Here in Midwest population centers, remote work is starting to become more widely adopted from a "work from home" perspective. The moment there's an expense report attached to pay for another office space, you're coming into HQ and that remote work arrangement is going to be reviewed rather quickly.

I was trying to read up on the site to evaluate what you said, but the UI's horribly broken on Firefox latest. Not the best first impression.

If anything, Cloudflare actually exercised their right to freedom of association (or disassociation, in this case) by dropping 8chan.

The right to free speech in the context of the Constitution only applies when it's the government trying to restrict it.

Aside from the others who’ve chimed in with great points to consider, I would research blind hiring techniques instead.

To directly answer your question, !g _used_ to take you to encrypted.google.com, but Google eliminated it and now it takes you to the general search results page.

Use !s for Startpage instead; it proxies google's results.

Instead of !g, try !s for Startpage, a proxied Google.

For the record, I have a paid business GSuite account for our household, and my purchase history was out there as well.

Taking it a step further, even being able to make such calls as going in for the AM and coming back home for the PM can be incredibly powerful for both productivity and maintaining a presence as someone in upper management. I’ve found myself increasingly in this situation organically, balancing my family obligations, meetings in different time zones, and having the time for my team and to get everything else in the middle done.

GrubHub is based in Chicago, however.

I’d _love_ to see an updated version of the linked article.

Since I only installed the Kano OS image on a bog standard Pi 3, it's basically this without all the accessories. https://kano.me/store/us/products/computer-kit

It's great that Kano makes it available standalone. Kano OS has all the activities built into the image, including visual coding of Minecraft and other tools, and guided lessons around using the Terminal. Chromium and LibreOffice are also installed by default. There's also a curated app "store" like experience to add new games.

Installing CUPS to add our printer to the Kano OS Pi was pretty straightforward, so he also uses it for personal writing and printing out stories.

It's really engaging for our son, and provides ample time for parent-child learning opportunities to boot. We ended up getting the Pixel Kit while we were at it, and Kano OS picked up on it immediately and exposed all the lessons for it.

Hoping their move to Windows 10 doesn't leave their Kano OS image locked to a Pi 3, though. I'd love to upgrade his Pi to a 4 soon.

Pi-Hole, RetroPie, and for my 1st-grade son I installed Kano OS for his first computer. I see a couple of Pi 4s as upgrades in my future.

Also looking to get my SDR rig up and running on one of the other Pis i have waiting to be used.

The integrity of B&H over my years of ordering from them is literally unparalleled in my experience. Only if I can’t find an item from them will I check elsewhere at this point. If Amazon wants inspiration as to how to do things right...

I’m deep into the console preservation, restoration, and modification scene personally as an active contributor, and in talking to another friend in the community tonight around this article, it wouldn’t surprise either of us if most if not all of the exploits from the link were happily held in community embargo until a safe distance after the date Sony officially discontinued its support for the Vita had passed. There’s been a real flurry of “jailbreak” activity from the community since Sony decided to walk away from the Vita, despite some niche third-party manufacturers like Limited Run Games still supporting the system with new physical releases.

That said, while the Acekards and R4s made the Nintendo DS by far the most accessible vector for piracy and homebrew, exploits made the PSP ground zero for multi-system emulation fans. The PSP display was significantly better and the system, prior to the 3DS, was significantly more powerful.

We're about to see the Vita assume the PSP's place on that mantle, it looks like.

"Imagine you're building a site with one foot in 1999 and another foot in 2016, but instead of 4-5 browsers you have around 20 highly-idiosyncratic browsers past and present to deal with."

That's pretty much how I introduce people to email development, and AMP for email isn't going to solve for that in any meaningful way.

> Why do websites slow themselves down with trackers, etc.? It pays to do so.

Unpopular opinion coming from a Director in a media agency who has these “come to Jesus” conversations daily with stakeholders trying to gum up the works with tag managers full of mystery meat, purposely render-blocking monolithic trackers, and A/B testing scripts:

They simply don’t have technologists in the room explaining the trade offs between gathering mass amounts of data for analysis and actual site performance. (Consider also much of the data is for data’s sake, and is often inconsistent, contradictory, and/or redundant due to being JavaScript-based and complications such as ITP, Tracking Protection, ad-blocking, etc.) You have mounds of studies from Internet pillars such as Amazon, Akamai, and Nielsen Norman Group laying out how crucially performance equates to revenue by meeting visitor expectations of _less_ friction, but marketers get sold a completely different narrative by vendors and influencers in their own segment of industry in order to deliver “numbers”.

Classic mismatch of concerns and nobody to bridge them.

So they package up whatever giant bundle of crap they've been sold as "necessary" into a tag manager, and instantly (and negatively) impact the site with it. Whether that's on the initial render being delayed, or the phalanx of async scripts all firing when the poor visitor's just trying to scroll on their phone, it all flies in the face of conventional wisdom.

Coincidentally, this is also related to how marketers are sold into AMP. The sales pitch from GOOG is usually less concerned with addressing the actual problem, instead suggesting the marketer bypass it by using AMP as a solution.

A year ago I started synthetic and (responsible) real-user performance monitoring on our sites, which breaks down third-party impacts, to bring data to the table. That has helped substantially with these conversations.

The customer service is also excellent; my son has a Vívofit Jr, and when the screen went haywire they replaced it—no questions asked. Quite happy with my experiences with Garmin over the years.

"From the Article"

It even shows up as “agile workplaces” these days, where it most often manifests itself as open floor seating with no set arrangements—transient would be the best characterization. FTA, just another example of how the word’s lost its meaning, this time to the buzzword wars.

You might want to put her on a certification track (of which there are legit and respected certs out there now). Gomez v GNC highlighted the need for someone that could be pointed to as an actual expert on Accessibility on staff.

I’d go a step further and say confidently that there are strong and mutually beneficial interrelationships between Accessibility, Technical SEO, Site Performance, and General Front-End Best Practices.

Accessibility consulting pays bonkers money these days due to the demand; even the a11y places like Deque and Usablenet are being asked for on-site a11y practitioners and they can’t find enough of them to refer companies to.

Note: It's entirely possible to build a site that scores a 100 on Lighthouse, but be an abject failure in Accessibility compliance. We've done it ourselves on my team inadvertently (combo-box failure), so never forget that actual, manual testing with screen readers is 100% necessary. Automation often works against you when it comes to achieving compliance.

To wit, you can create a really, really inaccessible site that scores 100 on Lighthouse: https://www.matuzo.at/blog/building-the-most-inaccessible-si...

I would also not be in disfavor of a Federal Council as opposed to a singular executive. The Swiss have a good thing going.

Contextual advertising (what you’re describing above) is a lot less intrusive than hyper targeted advertising.

The former evaluates the context of the content being delivered by the server, while the latter evaluates an encyclopedia’s worth of data (both inferences and known traits) about the user.

Just got mine last week (Solo, Solo Tap, and the DigiPass SecureClick). All work great for their respective uses.

The gaming console space up to a couple of generations ago, prior to digital distribution, is pretty well covered (and I've contributed ~75 titles and variations of console-based prototypes myself to the public), but most modern gaming is going to have a much more pronounced preservation issue.

Consider also the download-only releases of console games, usually by indies but not always, nowadays on the big 3 platforms; other than avenues like Limited Run Games that provide for production of limited physical runs of previously download-only titles, they're lost to the aether eventually.
