I had a family friend who recently passed from colon cancer.

It was particularly brutal because it never showed up in any regular screenings, due to the tumor growing on the outside of their colon. It took ~2-3 weeks just to figure out what it was, but they only knew something was wrong because of some blood tests that came back with unusual results.

It was only 90 days from when they got the call about the unusual results till their death.

This echos my experience with GCP and Google in general.

If you’re a business/enterprise, you get a different ToS that very clearly states that your data is yours.

If you use the free/consumer options, that’s where they are vague or direct about vacuuming up data.

Kinda interesting to hear about. I have a 500 chassis I’m slowly working on filling. I’m between the RND 535 or 543, and had never heard of a diode bridge comp before looking at the 535.

What kind of 33609 clone do you have?

I think this is just to compete with stuff like Mimecast.

Pretty sure admins can still audit emails even if they're E2EE.

I'm gonna need you to back that claim up dawg, because the only thing I see the node runtime used for, is for when the user loads a js project.

then it's basically just a proxy for node/npm afaik.

I’m assuming they’re talking about the in-game currency that you have to earn/accumulate.

There are no micro transactions, and you don’t have to pay anything.

I haven’t used it in a long time, but I enjoyed Shortcut (back when it was called Clubhouse).

I saw Mikey give a speech about this back at the Velocity conference around 2014-ish. It was absolutely fascinating to listen to him talk about it!

Acronyms are the worst.

I guess people do it to sound cool or something, but I once maintained a legacy project that had an acronym for a name. Not a single person working at the entire company knew what the acronym originally meant, and of course, it was never documented.

Stuart Semple is kinda known for pulling stunts like this.

Whenever Vantablack was released to the world, the artist Anish Kapoor got exclusive artistry license rights for the pigment. Semple was rather upset about it, so he then made a pigment called "Pinkest Pink" and one of the terms and conditions of buying it is that you agree to never share it was Kapoor.

I don't know what his intention is with this project, but I'm sure it'll have an interesting outcome.

I migrated all my domains from Google Domains to Porkbun when it was announced that Squarespace was gonna buy the former.

I've been quite happy with Porkbun so far!
