Back in the 90s there were rumours of pending layoffs in IT (didn't happen until 1.5 years later) and the best coders, on lunch break, walked across the street to Kodak; got hired on the spot and left with one day notice.
It was a fucking mess. I was a new hire in 1986 and could not pick up the slack from those who left.
I did continue to have coffee with the blokes and asked them how it was going.
Their reaction was that it didn't matter if the goddam mainframe supported a credit union, bank, hospital, film processor or the fucking oil patch.
Computers are computers. Data specific to the use case was not a big deal.
Yeah, I used Excel to generate a whole list of IPv4 and port combinations to scan and record open ports. Then I'd reduce the population to that useful subset and continue refining until I could get positive hits on common ports like FTP, RDP, Telnet, SMTP and all that simple stuff and entertain myself for hours.
IPv6 was too hard for automation so I stick with IPv4.
All you bastards or bitches, as may apply are welcome and stuff.
I suggested the reverse ATM after you did. They could be placed every few blocks. Standard ATM safety guidelines apply.
In addition to the non-exclusionary explanations you provide, cash is an invitation to walk-in robberies. Also, proprietors have to arrange for depositing/withdrawing cash at least twice a day and, many times, make cash runs or hire armoured cars
When Google pulled its search engine from mainland China in 2010, the company says it was due to censorship concerns, so if this is true, it would mark a major turnaround.
But it also wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen American companies caving in to China’s demands to gain access to the world’s largest internet market.

Bullshit. The pathway among the top producers is well-lubricated.
They are all social media, VR, AI, blockchain, cloud, home assistants, and data whores.
Anyway, submit your original content.
Ironically, Kodak was the frog in the boiling water. They went under.
Not everyone uses Mobil Oil ...
No one uses them. Exxon bought them out.
... in Dallas at the building with the Pegasus.

Of course, IPv4 is slicker'n deer guts on a doorknob in this respect.
Balderdash comes to us from the Greeks (ca. Wally of Dilbert) in the form of the concatenated, corrupted words for "more bald," and "haberdashery."
It applies to old geeks who think "cool," is wearing their ties as a sweat band.
Mobil Oil has a class C that they are not even using. They got bought out by Exxon and those goofballs don't know about it.

That was invented by Evonne Goolagong and, sure, her racket had a kind of "web," (sorta), but it's not blocked.
Sadly, she died.
Remember when /. was a content aggregator, providing news for nerds, stuff that matters and not the goddam author of the fucking articles?
IPv6 was implemented because we were running out of IPv4.
That's conservation, not conservatism.
... the sport reporter, the analyst, the concierge, the office clerk.
And, most devastatingly, the journalists.
... I boycott the self-scan checkout lines ...
That's "soft protest."
I go to the self-checkout and press, "page attendant."
The attendant asks, "How may I help?"
I say, "You can scan all this stuff for me. Thanks."
That doesn't affect much change at grocery stores, but it sure as hell did at Home Depot. They pulled those stations.
Asshole. That's called, "acting orange."
You fell for the trap.
Go back to basics:
The only RACE this motherfucker is concerned about is his own political one.
So, it's like capitalism and stuff.

Put a cash-to-card reverse ATM a few blocks apart.
I'm not sure ...
Bingo!
Slashdot admins? Really? They are shocked?
They don't just aggregate stories that are news for nerds, stuff that matters?
Where are these posts you speak about where admins express their shock?

So, what exactly is the threshold that separates "just a little bit," from, "a lot?"
It's the same goddam thing.
So you don't support the many people who make kiosks.
That was my takeaway.
Even poor folks can get a gift card.
Apple and others have made similar concessions. Where's the outrage?
