It still works just fine; nobody has a problem reaching her - she hasn't had to make anyone change an address book in 20+ years.
I use an alumni email address for this very reason. I've changed my actual email provider a number of times over the years... and all I generally need to do is update the forward on the university's server.
Of course, some providers try to make it difficult for people who don't want to send from their provider-based email address. God only knows why Apple will let you use a third-party email address as your iCloud login, but does its level best to prevent you sending email using that as your "From" address.
"Gmail is definitely the winner"... I don't know, versus what? For a tech candidate, nothing says "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing" quite like writing from a webmail address
My only takeaway from that quote is that Ms. Moore is most definitely not someone to go to for tech advice.
The software did not lead to the drop in cholera cases.
Last year there was a cholera outbreak in Yemen. So far there hasn’t been one this year, but officials are concerned there could be - so they’re using this software tool to hopefully predict and head off new outbreaks before they happen.
People should've already been aware that Google isn't above playing politics with software vulnerabilities.
We've also seen it go the other way - where Google held onto vulnerability announcements regarding its own software far longer than the 90 days (or whatever it specifically is) Project Zero generally says is how long they're willing to wait.
I don't recall the pitch of AMP being increased traffic, it was to limit webpages to a subset of elements and scripts to provide a good experience to readers.
Yeah, back when Microsoft was pushing “best viewed in Internet Explorer”, I don’t think they ever admitted that the real point was to coerce visitors into using Microsoft's browser so that Microsoft could benefit... so no way Google’s going to admit that’s what they’re doing now.
I sometimes want to use it at the local hackerspace, I try to log in, and after I enter my password it tells me "we don't recognize this computer, give us your phone number and we'll send you an SMS message to continue"(*).
I absolutely do not want to give Google my phone number, but there's no way around this.
You can protect a Google account with two-factor auth, using an authentication app like OTP Auth - does this “give us your phone number” query still occur if you have that enabled?
It wouldn’t make any security sense, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it does. Google does seem to be getting more in-your-face with regard to its information grabbing and sharing.
Maybe now people will stop telling me “you HAVE to watch this!”
A couple years ago we had a higher-up at work who based what she thought of IT people on what she’d seen in Big Bang Theory and Silicon Valley. But, based on that second-hand experience, the shows seemed to be mostly based on tired geek stereotypes than anything else. I have known IT folks who do fit those stereotypes to a “T”... but they’ve been the exception rather than the rule.
If you’re someone who liked Big Bang - sorry your show ended. Different strokes for different folks.
I don't doubt your experience, but it does seem odd. I think my house power is noisy... incandescents never lasted long, and neither did CFLs. But I've had really good luck with LEDs from day one.
I've especially noticed it with 3-way bulbs. Those things never seemed to last more than a month or two in our lamps. About 3 years ago I bit the bullet and bought three 3-ways of the LED persuasion at $20/each - they're still going strong, so they've already paid for themselves even just in terms of what I would've spent on incandescent 3-ways over that same time period.
Actually I did have a couple incandescents last for many years - I'd purchased these special "button" bases which basically clipped the AC waveform so the current in the filament never ran switched direction. The issue with those, though, is that the bulb's light output understandably goes down rather significantly...
Not only that, but despite the touted 30.000 hour life span of LED lights, I have already had to replace several in my house, while the old-fasioned, simple tungsten bulbs keep going, and going, and going.
I've yet to have an LED bulb go out, and I started switching over to them in 2011. I know the year because the bulbs were expensive and had a five-year warranty - so I saved the receipt and boxes, and wrote the installation date on the boxes (I finally got rid of the boxes earlier this year).
We did replace the ones over our dining room table recently, but that was because my wife decided she wanted higher-output bulbs there.
I did have CFL bulbs go bad, though... all the bloody time. I think my power may be a bit noisy.
But now at least I’m a 3%-er... I got a text from T-Mobile last night, saying my info got stolen.
Wanna lay odds that “3%” will be trending strongly upward over the next few days and weeks, and that they’ll eventually have to announce that the intruders got more of each customers’ info than originally thought?
I doubt it would be as severe as he predicts but we're overdue for a downturn.
Let's see...
- We've seen a very long bull market - basically ongoing since the US managed to recover from the banking meltdown in 2008-2009 - A giant tax cut passed last year which will added billions/trillions in debt to the US going forward - Over the last 12 months the US has started trade wars with US allies and foes, unsettling world markets

While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?
Slamming on the brakes for no reason is also "driving like an idiot".
I agree with that statement as well. Or, perhaps, "driving like a Waymo".
”One woman claimed that she almost hit a Waymo vehicle as it suddenly stopped while trying to make a right turn.”
If you almost hit someone because they stopped suddenly... that’s on you, not the other driver.
Don’t drive like an idiot.

This sounds like a job for James Bond.

What’s the over/under on how many of those minutes will be devoted to Animoji?
I pick 42 minutes.
Yeah, I bet the researchers never thought of that.
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
I’m American, and I wonder the same thing.

Nah, there's no reason to worry about the economy
A "play level one for free" demo is how I first experienced Doom.
I bought the game, then several sequels and offshoots... I think Id got their money's worth.
You is right!
