Ads everywhere. Typical.

"Fake news" coming soon to Medium.

Wasn't it just last year during the holidays nearly all Linode hosts were offline, for like days? I'm a DO customer and there is absolutely no way I would consider switching to Linode.

I just clicked one of the Voat links in this thread and I had an _even worse_ mobile experience than Reddit. Hard to believe!

All I saw was a white background and one character (or two!) per line on the left. What garbage.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I'm not a US citizen so I had not reviewed the candidate sites but I started to suspect things like this had to come from the democratic campaign. I figured soundbites though, not a page on the website. Unbelievable.

Exactly this. Worst possible outcome. It is solving the problem with more of the same the problem.

I'm no doctor but radiation treatment is pretty much what you're suggesting. Narrow focused burn = radiation.

You can't remote in on most flights, as one example.

It suggests you work on one client at a time. I'll often have a few VMs running as I switch between 2-3 clients in a given day. For me 8GB is a minimum.

Hillary can be charged with treason and disallowed from running for office based on laws passed by Bill Clinton. She's corrupt no matter how you try to frame it.

This post itself is marketing. You just target developers who do word-of-mouth referrals. ;-)

I do this using the Jewish schedule (though I am not myself Jewish). Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. Great time to be offline.

FTFY: the PERSON you go to lunch with...

It is a background check. USA uses your fingerprints for air travel authentication. Canada uses an iris scan for authentication. The authentications are separate but the travel history is shared for visa tracking purposes. It is much less invasive than being queried and documented on varied subject by every singe border agent. The files on you grow much bigger with the unlimited scope of questioning of a border agent. Of course, they can still stop you and ask you details (and do) but I have found once you are on file they stop digging around into your private life because they know you have a background check on file.

This isn't appropriate for one-time day travellers and vacationers. Certainly it is a good program but it is no excuse to be assholes to tourists bringing money into either country for what used to be a good time.

Sorry to hear this, but unfortunately I am not surprised. Back in the 1990s until about 2001 you couldn't walk down the street anywhere in downtown Vancouver without finding a majority of the population was American tourists. Then the CDN dollar shot up, passports became required, and then this new attitude began. The BC economy tanked. I still do not think tourism has recovered even though the CDN dollar is super low again and has been so for at least 2-3 years. Tourism is huge to the BC economy, almost 30% or some crazy high number. They want it all to be high-income tech workers now so it is all focused on becoming an H1-B visa workaround destination now, mostly for Microsoft employees and other big corps that have hit their quotas in USA. Would be nice if tourism was a thing in BC again but I don't know who would champion it, all of the companies shut down or moved to the US.

I'm a frequent traveller and former Vancouver resident. Hands down worst border crossing everywhere along the BC/WA border. I have talked to many with similar experiences.

Until pot was legalised in WA the border officers were on a mad hunt to find weed on every person crossing. They would do so under the guise of accusing you of going to work illegally and any number of other things.

Then after WA legalised BC decided that they would step up their own reefer madness campaign to keep the WA weed out. As if BC needs to import it, but I digress. They even went as far as staging a "COPS"-style programme on television to showcase all the vagrants they catch. It was eventually cancelled, but not before exposing the world to all of the security theatre of the BC border crossing.

The irony of it all is that weed is everywhere in Canada and the US and the BC/WA border is just a shitshow of angry assholes on both sides. It is very unfortunate for the tourism industry on both sides.

How is barely paying anything for healthcare not good?

Please explain to me why the ability to choose what parent gets to raise their child for the first year so the other can persue their executive (or whatever) career while the government pays for it is a "harm" to your business?
