I am both myopic and have an astigmatism. The lenses are weighted to align them. They're gas-permeable, seconds to pop in, a blink to eject. Being hard, they help shape the cornea. so they're far superior to soft. Being permeable, it's quite safe to sleep with them in. As I've grown older, I double-dialed my acuity to read with my right and drive with my left. The brain handles the difference just fine. I've been on various iterations of hard lenses for 40 years and for me it's never been a problem.
Definitely not always. My Chevy S-10 didn't. My 2006 (Australian) Falcon definitely didn't. Speaking about on downgrades of course. Modern cruise controls handle downgrades very well.
I completely agree with this. On-prem with an IT silo is HARD. I've spent weeks waiting for SQL or web deployments when I could spin up a cloud instance in minutes.
I configure my mail clients to only put my inbound in my inbox if you're in my collected addresses. When the report came out, it was an email I simply never saw. But... about 1/3 of this high tech company got phished. On the downside I kinda sorta failed because I didn't report the suspicious email. Meh.
Yes this is common knowledge. But if I don't know someone who knows someone who knows someone who got hijacked, I'm not going to lose sleep and still have the insta-pay convenience. Credit card numbers are far more troublesome than rfid, and my bank freezes my account almost instantly when the flags go up. The thing about rfid is (in this case) it only works in Australia and given you have to make a legit looking card with a chip in it, and the low transaction amounts, it's a huge amount of work for a small payoff.
Bought two Surface Books -- 3 year warranties -- with the full knowledge that warranty service means a clean unit is sent back to me. Hello Cloud. The detach feature on one of them borked, and it was seriously painless to restore my account when the replacement arrived. To me, this is far preferable to the hunk of iron that my Thinkpad was -- as much as I loved the TP's keyboard, it was serious shoulder strain. Pretty certain the Macbooks are equally not repairable.
I returned from a 10-year stint in Australia, where I stopped carrying cash, wrote only two checks, and for purchases under an amount set by the merchant -- $30 in some cases, $100 more typical -- simply tap the card, faster than cash. I looked into it here and the friction apparently was the cost of the chip. Apparently not. Anyone know what the heck is keeping tap-pay from becoming a thing if the chips are already on the cards?
As to card details being compromised for online purchases, hate PayPal all you want but with it (and 2fa) I finally got cancelled cards under control and some peace of mind.

I use Chrome and Firefox sync, with Eversync bridging across. Mobile and desktops stay managed quite nicely.
So something like subscribing to HBO and rebroadcasting? If so they're screwed except Hong Kong might have a loophole.
Their web site doesn't explain where the content comes from. The media companies being annoyed says it's doing some sort of end around.
Surface Book is also 3:2. I prefer greater height for most things, and when on video I just cast it or ignore the bars.
Got instructions to turn left at the (live) elephant. Apparently there all day every day.

Kind of like a dead man's switch on a train or a tram.
Modern cruise controls slow down perfectly well. I rented a car in 2009 which did precisely that.
Let us know when you can't care any less.
Paypal with 2fa. It's insane to type card details into a website.
Client feedback says I didn't suck at it. Getting recruited says I didn't suck at it. I'll avoid the ad hominem in mind.

At 45+ I retrained into c# and made full stack in under two years, front end all the way to deployment, and I was far from the brightest of our bunch.
Subscribe to Spotify for a couple of months and use Audacity to rip everything you want. After ~350 albums I cancelled.

Where are the Jarts?
I'm not going to sleep because someone is wrong on the Internet.
Scientists observe. Mathematicians prove.
Suggests Dylan as a prophet. A hard rain's going to fall. I feel it too.
If not on Fox it never happened.

You can't hail an Uber: not a taxi. You can book an Uber: basically a low cost limo.
