You do know that his 40hours a week was a dramatic reduction in working hours compared to the norm at that time?

Once upon a time Google used few and non-intrusive ads. The ads were soo well-placed and relevant, that they almost seemed like a service to the user, rather than being forced upon you. Some of us even added exceptions for Google ads in our ad blockers, so we would not miss out.

I miss those days.

Why are their mouths a hole in the side of their cheeks? It looks disturbing.

We go outside because it is too hot to stay inside.

Sure. But that does not make it unethical.

What if it is Sunday? Does this Saturday refer to yesterday?

I have an app where I register when I take my meds, and which meds.

I make sure to absolutely always tap the app while taking the meds. No taking meds and then going to find the phone, or tapping the app and then take the meds. Always do it simoultaniously.

With that rule in place, I know that I can 100% trust the app in telling me if I have taken them or not.

This works really great for me.

That is a very interesting research area.

Several countries have this, across device types. It works great.

What he means is, your security considerations here must come from some perceived threat. What kind of threat do you forsee that requires this high level of security?

Usually when you consider security you start with a threat model, describing the scenarios you want to protect your systems from. And based on that you decide the necessary technical security measures that are relevant.

 

I had written a rather lengthy response to a post, and put quite a bit of effort in my argument. When I submitted the reply I got a "language not allowed" error, and everything I wrote was lost.

I think an error when posting something should not result in the screen changing back and losing everything written. The error should be displayed and the user allowed to fix the problem or somehow allowed to save the post locally, e.g. by copying and pasting it somewhere else.

 

Hi. I am trying to figure out how to get high-speed storage in my R640 server. I just want to use consumer-grade NVME disks, so I can write data at ≥ 1GByte/sec per disk. Do you have any suggestions on what hardware to choose?
