In Fiji we have a Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). Banks, money transfer companies (think Western Union, MoneyGram, etc), and other financial service providers are required to report suspicious transactions to the FIU.

Short of handing a scammer a bag of cash, there's no way to transfer/receive money anonymously.

While a scammer can do damage, any significant amount would trigger an investigation and be blocked.

It sounds like the US is still the wild west when it comes to this sort of financial shenanigan.

I have tried them but it wasn't simple to use multiple profiles at once, nor was it obvious which profile you were using. I felt as though Firefox was discouraging their use. Are you using them?

Here is an article that talks through the steps (on windows but it's similar for others) https://www.howtogeek.com/209320/how-to-set-up-and-use-multi...
It's more complicated that that. Whilst some people are probably jumping on kubernetes for the hype, there's a lot of things it makes really easy, especially for less experience teams.

For example:

- You want to spin up ephemeral environments to test PRs end2end. Sure, create a namespace, deploy your charts and run your tests. You want to do that with ansible, sure you can, but it's harder.

- You org is running apps via a multi-cloud and on-prem strategy? Okay, lets just write lots of tooling per cloud and another for on-prem, or we could abstract that away via kubernetes and only worry about tooling for kube itself.

- You want to do have rolling-upgrades. Sure, you build them with ansible then, or you could just use kubes.

Further to that, kubernetes is guiding reasonble abstractions, seperating infrastructure from code. Sure, it comes with complexity, but so does most things when you start throwing in scaling and auto-recovery.

For example, deploy terraform from your laptop? The device you probably browse porn on has becomes an attack surface. Move this to Jenkins, the CI is the attack surface. Put your code on Bitbucket? Bitbucket and the Jenkinsfile becomes the attack surface. Pretty much everything we do has complexity and attack surface _problems_ and using a managed k8s service will allow you some easy wins so you can actually think about those other problems, and those solutions will work on all platforms you can run k8s on.

I bought a product from Aliexpress (12 euro IoT wifi relay) which i later found in the exact same name and package on kickstarter for around 20 euros.

> I was the one who opened them, of course I know what's on those tabs.

I rarely have more than 10 open at a time and sometimes completely forget what's there or why I opened it - I find uber-tabbing impressive and baffling in equal measure.

If you know what you're looking for, what does having it open (but probably knocked out of memory?) have over using search/URL autosuggest? Just a workflow thing, or is it faster?
I dunno, any cluster with more than 5 servers is a pain to deal with without something like kubernetes.
Funny, I'm the other way around.

Anyway, what I do if I sort-of know what I want to write: open a word process or anything, set it to a bullet list, then start to write. The bullets can be really short or somewhat longer if I happen to think of a nice way to write something down, but by being bullets, it's clear that it's not the final form, and that I can "cheat" and just write down a few keywords as long as it's clear to me what I want to write.

This allows be to easily move things around, and write about as quickly as I think, and thus end up with a bullet list with proper structure for what I want to write. I can then relatively easily convert that to a proper story.

(That's not how I wrote this comment, so it's bound to feel somewhat more chaotic/stream-of-consciousnessy.)

It doesn't really matter because there is always more money. Everyone just forgets about it and moves on.

The US however is rapidly approaching a 1 trillion deficit. And if it wants to challenge China in manufacturing they need to rebuild the entire railroad system.

This is good advice, because it also forces you to learn to edit what you've written. What I've seen is that editing is a separate skill from writing that needs some effort to learn.

Maybe editing is not that important for blog posts. Shorter texts can sometimes be written in one pass, but for producing anything longer it's a vital skill.

It depends on the point of view. Those off center trackpads are in fact positioned in the center in relation to the keyboard (without numpad) which make sense because when you are typing you have access to it with your thumbs and, because it's in the center, it's away from your palms, so it minimize possibility of accidental use when you're typing without using any sophisticated software solution. It may look stupid when you look at it but it's not so stupid when you start using it.
This is very good advice. I think my problem is I try to sound more "intelligent" and well-spoken. Maybe that's because English isn't my first language. In any case, the most annoying thing for me is to not be able to tap into my inner thesaurus. When I read other people's articles, comments and book I often find myself thinking "why did I not use that turn of phrase in my previous blog post".
One thing I've found facinating was, after the USSR launched the first satelite, and put the first man in space, the USA managed to redefine "win" as being "the moon".
I can't imagine it either, but I wish we could try to establish things like these as having signalling value. Adding a redirect there is as trivial as it could possibly be, so if this could get established as "best practice", then there would be no excuse for companies not to support it.

Ultimately, not having a clear and easy policy for cancelling the service and deleting the account only happens when the company is malicious, and attempts to exploit the user. Having this visible plain as day is something I'd love.
It’s very sound financial advice. It’s especially valuable for married couples where the risks essentially double.

To be fair, Instagram didn’t have an Android app a long while ago. The Android market & demographic has changed a lot since, with high-end Android phones sporting great screens, cameras and costing nearly as much as the iPhone.

'Chameleon' tattoos change color, may help diagnose illness
One theory I've heard is that sleep deprivation is used as part of conditioning techniques. Doctors are conditioned to tolerate things most people would not (cutting people open, touching diseased people, dealing with people dying) and sleep deprivation may be one way in which their minds are made malleable. The same with grad students and soldiers. This may be one of the primary methods by which society makes young people behave the way it wants them to; mess with their minds, then tell them what to do, and repeat it long enough until they keep doing it on their own.
It's still not clear to me how this will work in internal networks. AFAIK it's not possible to distribute internal DoH servers via DHCP, and it seems orthagonal to the goals of DoH since "cafe wifi" could give you dodgy servers. But how do I as a network administrator with internal DNS domains serve my users?

Maybe browsers and OSs could look at the local search domain, and send queries matching to DHCP servers, and everything else over DoH, kinda like split dns with a VPN?

And it didn't work. Some people were aware of this. A few took the time to read/discuss/think about it. A minuscule fraction of passionate people acted on it.

And the rest of the world took the path of least resistance, as usual.

People don't shape society willingly. They mostly let life happen to them. Even when you see them protesting, it's the consequence of an emotional reaction and a group effect, not the reflect of their deep personnal vision of life. They have none.

It's why people keep gaining weight, comming back to a violent spouse or voting again for the politicians that just lied in their face.

I have no idea what to do about that. Education works a bit, but it's so slow and easy to destroy. And meanwhile, it's very unfair for the minority trying hard to make things better. They pay a high price, with no thanks, and little benefits except the hope the others won't screw up things more.
I do the hiring for my company. This is the worst thing you can do. These stupid bars show absolutely nothing to me.
Also, scrolling on firefox is awkward and imprecise. They seem to prefer bouncy accelerated/decelerated scrolling where Google Chrome is as sharp as a knife. When I take my finger off the scroll wheel, I want scrolling to stop immediately, I don't want it to keep moving for a handful of pixels to artificially slow down.

Then why not get the 15"?! I honestly don't understand why the 13-14" screen size exists. If you want something really portable it's got to be 12" or less. If you want something you can do serious work on too it must be 15" or more...

(The only thing more nonsensical than this is the wide screen AR when we know a 4:3 ratio would always be superior. Yeah, power users will customize their UI to get rid of the crap wasting vertical screen space... but those very same power users will also want to see long batches of code or spreadsheet cells, or text, so they'd still crave for more vertical space.)
How will avid Apple users on this website choose Firefox as a browser on their iPhones and iPad computers?

I typically have related tabs around the one I find. E.g. recently I researched some details about the python requests library, but haven't finished implementing it yet. I can go back to that group of tabs that's in a somewhat logical order. Autocomplete wouldn't have that, and also suggest links I've already discarded as not interesting.

I've tried a few times to replace this workflow with bookmark groups etc, but I never got that to work in a way I'm completely happy with, and making my own extension that does it exactly like I want it to would be an interesting project, but too much work for now.

What I find useful is a browser extension that lets me copy-paste a list of all URLs in a window with their titles, so at the end of a research session I can move the entire list quickly to a markdown file and save it with a few notes.
Discoverability is not bad in itself, only when it hinders other things, or when it becomes the main goal. Only toys have discoverability as a main feature.

Inclined to agree. I see the fact that Microsoft is abandoning Edge in favour of a Chromium-based browser as a fundamentally bad thing for the web due to the loss of competition amongst browser engines (me of 10 - 15 years ago would probably be appalled by this sentiment, but times change).

Brave, as yet another Chromium based-browser doesn't feel like it's helping. That, and the name "Brave" absolutely grates on me. It's a web browser: what exactly is brave about it? Too pretentious for my taste.
