Things like this are literally just so that there is a test case to make it up to the Supreme Court. They do something ridiculous that obviously violates the intent of the law but mostly stays inside the letter of the law, in hopes that the Supreme Court will take it up and overturn the law. So, yes, the fact that the vending machine can technically sell bullets to minors is a feature, not a bug. Why is their endgame getting rid of age restrictions for firearms and ammunition? You’d have to ask the death cult themselves about that one.

Right? The math here is all over the place. Like he figured out how much WoW would cost over two years and then asked ChatGPT for an investment plan with $950 or something.

From a marketing perspective, it sounds like a slam dunk. Someone wants to sue you, with lots of fanfare, saying that your energy drink doesn’t actually give you wings? Sure, come in at us. In the mean time, we’ll take out ads everywhere with fake apologies about not actually giving you wings.

It’s shocking that anyone would use MS, they have a pretty terrible security record. https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-04/CSRB_Review_of_the_Summer_2023_MEO_Intrusion_Final_508c.pdf

Basically they used the same encryption key for every tenant and thought that rotating the key was too hard, so they stopped.

That’s a bummer. I would have a plan for how to get to the courthouse without personally driving, otherwise the judge might take offense with how you arrived there illegally and do something more drastic.

It might be too late, but if you have your license renewed tell that to the judge. They will ask you how do you plead, I wouldn’t try to pull any shit with the not guilty plea. Just say you plead guilty, it was a mistake, and you renewed it immediately.

I had my state inspection expire and it was dismissed by the judge. Just dress nice, be respectful, and tell them it happened and you fixed it ASAP. You will still have to pay a court fee, so you won’t get out of jail free, but not having points on your license is worth it.

At the end of the day, most judges just want to see that there wasn’t a nefarious reason you didn’t have a valid drivers license. If you were able to renew it, no harm no foul.

I was trying to think of a way to trick him into planting bamboo in his yard, but those are good.

It’s like Dwight printing IOUs for Schrutebucks

What tech field though? Software? Cloud? AI/ML? Security?

In all those scenarios though, the cert in question would be listed as something else. It’s not that I’m against Coursera or think it’s a bad platform.

There are a lot of certs out there and most of them are worthless, and a lot of them happen to be on Coursera, I guess. I’ve talked to people who had AWS certs and couldn’t explain the difference between S3 and EBS. Certs just don’t mean much.

Once you get your first job, the certs of all kinds just become resume fluff, but since you are pursuing your first job, they might be useful.

As an interviewer, I think that certs are only useful if you take the test with a different company than you studied with. So I don’t think I’d care if you have a coursera cert, because I’d assume it just meant you finished the course that you paid for.

What certs are you thinking about doing, and more importantly, what are you looking to get out of them? I know “a job”, but what kind of job are you looking for?

But blockchains get “bad” records added all the times. Database entries and blockchain blocks are both equally as susceptible to bad business logic making incorrect entries. No business is going to adopt a sales recording system that doesn’t allow them to control the entries and to reverse the entries they don’t agree with.

Haha, yeah. I guess that’s ironic that I’m taking a stance against Starbucks with a username like this.

It’s funny comparing tobacco to an actual addictive stimulant, coffee, and decided sugar is the problem. I say as I drink my black coffee in the morning.

Whatever it takes to get you away from Starbucks seems like a win though.

Why? What’s in Texas? This says Maryland

It looks like someone let their cat do the typing for the footer there. Is that a real language at the bottom?

It actually doesn’t, because the drive won’t “let” you overwrite the reserve space. That’s why they introduced SSD secure erase, so the firmware knows that you mean to overwrite everything.

Alternatively you could just use full disk encryption and burn the key when you are done.

Amen to that
