As said in the other comment, our mission is to encrypt everything, and this is the next step towards that! It's actually something that we've been planning since forever, but it's so nice to finally have it out!
Depending on the age of your house, and how future proof they were; most houses have a phone jack in most of the rooms. If they were run since the mid-90s, it's probably 4-pair cat3 or cat5, and if you're lucky it's run to a central point that's accessible. Reterminate with rj45 instead of rj11 and boom. If it's 4-pair daisy chained, you'll need to put in two ports at each faceplate and jumpers in rooms you don't use and switches in rooms you do use.

Cat3 doesn't meet the spec for GigE, but in short runs without a lot of crosstalk from dense wiring, it's likely to work and worth a try.

If you only have 2-pair wires in the wall, you can still likely run 100BaseTX, which is OK if not very exciting. At least you'd remove most of the jitter of wifi.

If you're in a rental, I dunno how the landlord would feel about you messing with the jacks, but it's undoable. If you were considering pulling new wire, you likely own.
It doesn't necessarily have to be that expensive. I have a friend who recently went through a very friendly divorce. Both parties had agreed on who would get what. In Washington State there's a process for these types of amicable divorces where a judge doesn't have to make any of these determinations. They had to pay the ~$500 filing fee, wait 90 days and that was it.

I'm sure it varies quite a bit from state to state though.

Go kills abstraction, which is in my opinion its greatest feature. There is far too many little functions, classes, and abstractions in the Java codebases I interact with day to day. Go is just a lot simpler than Java.
You make this sound like a new problem. You have had to do that for unsigned apps for years and at least in my experience the majority of apps that come from outside the App Store are unsigned.

That makes me glad I figured things out, and got the eGPU, because I was really close to buying a newer model in hopes that it would fix things.

I really don't understand how this isn't more of an issue for Apple. Surely theres a lot of pros out there using external monitors. Two external monitors is pretty standard - in my previous life as an IT guy we set that up for probably half of our clients.

Every country with the clout to do that does it, and the other countries know it. You speak of the CCP like they're evil bastards waiting to leap at your throat, but in reality USA and China have a lot in common, at least in world politics.

Some Latin American countries tried to avoid giving even an inch to USA, and it didn't end well. China has done the same in Asia. USA-China rivalry is not about good and bad, it's more akin to thugs invading each other's turfs.

Paired with a WRT32x router running OpenWRT, these are the speeds I get on my 1000/50* GPON fiber connection. They do tend to vary depending on what speedtest server I use and when. I have seen it max out at 950 megabits however

> more revenue is the solution to all problems at a company (give or take). I think Fiber is proof that that isn't strictly true.

Revenue is still a solution, but you have to use it differently. People who just see all the technical problems their current ISP has assume that running an ISP is a technical problem; if you dig a little further (pun intended), it looks like an infrastructure problem, but that's not the root of it. Google Fiber is proof that running an ISP is fundamentally a political problem: how do you work around the many many things all trying to stop or kill you? (Hypothesis for one reason why ISPs are mostly terrible: the ones that exist were not optimized for good technology or good customer service, they were optimized for surviving politics, or built by companies who already had.)

There was a broader spectrum of decent ISPs when modems were cutting-edge, because then you "just" need to run a dial-in service. There were at least some decent ISPs when DSL was cutting-edge, because in theory you can buy your service from anyone. But now that fiber is cutting-edge, there's no solution anymore, because fiber wasn't treated as infrastructure from day 1.

There's a major reason why many "technology first" companies look into wireless and satellite to reach people. Not because those provide fundamentally better experiences or technologies, but because they can dodge the vast majority of local politics.

In an ideal world, we'd have fiber to every home as infrastructure, connected to a local meet-me room, and you could contract any ISP you like to light up that fiber, with a tiny flat fee going to cover the infrastructure. And then we'd have a spectrum of ISPs again, from budget to full-service to tech-friendly.

I'm the article author. Don't have all the answers. :-)

The appealing part for me was not reinventing the wheel for each application. Auth is hard to do well. Here's what I do know (to save you a search or two):
- You definitely still want an application-level DB for you to have app-level features like showing friends/leaderboards/forum user names, etc.
- Any decent auth system lets you skin the login forms however you want.

My guess about local dev is you skip the auth entirely and just force-feed the decoded JWT into the application. You can setup oauth2 using a hosts file to work properly, but it's a lot of work just to get to the decoded JWT to feed your app. YMMV.

Glad you found it interesting!

Because going to a grocery store was and still is a lot more dangerous than usual, and it would be nice to have a two week stash of food so you could quarantine and then go visit your family or something without worrying about infecting them. I don't have a stash, and obviously I think going out to buy food is an acceptable risk, but I definitely would have felt better in March and April if I could have avoided the grocery store for a while.

> For Americans in the top third income bracket, 64% are in an intact marriage, meaning they have only married once and are still in their first marriage. In contrast, only 24% of Americans in the lower-third income bracket are in an intact marriage

Is this age corrected, because people tend to be in a low income segment earlier in their careers, and I don't think that “people are more likely to have gotten married the older they are” is surprising.
Whole heartedly agree. A gravity system is highly recommended if people go the water filter route.
For the record, these citations reference outcomes related to single parent families or two parent families. Also, the Brookings link is an opinion piece.

You understand that two-parent families are not exclusively married families, or that it's disingenuous to posit that if a family isn't single parent, it must be a married family, right?

McKinsey is a management consulting company https://www.mckinsey.com/ which is famous (or infamous) for promoting highly 'streamlined' business practices. They're known for turning around failing businesses into profitable ones but also for the enron and 2008 scandals with the housing bubble. Though I'm not too familiar with exactly what 'McKinsey' would imply, it seems to just be a shorthand for whenever a business starts charging for something that was previously free. Aka luggage fees.
Case in point: Senate Democrats learned this the hard way with the filibuster. However, I contend that even when there is total unity in the government, real change does not happen. For example, when the republicans held all three we did not see overturning of Roe v. Wade, or any of the doomsday scenarios we were promised. The most that happened under democrat three rule was a deeply flawed health insurance disaster.

> I find the demand for less freedom to be deeply disturbing. If it wasn't so scary it would be funny, because people accuse the president of acting like a dictator and then complain when he isn't enough of a dictator.

You seem to be considering "freedom" as equivalent to irresponsibility. Being a leader means convincing people to do work they don't want to do, like wearing masks during a pandemic. We don't even need to debate whether the federal government should have implemented a national mask mandate. Simply having a president that recommended wearing masks instead of encouraging indignant irresponsibility would have saved tens of thousands of American lives, no laws required.

Trump gets called a dictator because he unilaterally picks nonsensical ideas and then barks them at everyone to get done, while accepting no feedback about how things are actually working out. This is the behavior of a dictator, regardless of how much power he actually wields or how effective he is. The latest example is his hissy fit over losing the election - there's no basis in reality, yet he's continuing to push it anyway. Seeing someone acting like the law does not matter sets off the fascist alarm bells.

What? No. After a divorce, total costs across both parties go up because resources can no longer be shared: one party needs new housing, possibly a new car, possibly needs to get their own health insurance rather than being on the other's plan, etc. Not to mention both parties have to buy anew whatever goods (cookware, television, etc.) the other person got.

Even completely amicable divorce destroys a tremendous amount of wealth.
