Amazon Smile trades ad views for 1% of their proceeds to a non-profit of your choice (including the FSF, EFF, and more, though I think RMS would have a seizure accepting this money)

Whole Foods gives you significant discounts on hot foods if you scan a QR code from the app (still expensive though).

I don't use these personally but I can totally see someone using them.

You can build a risc core using an fpga. Plenty of people have done that.

Performance will probably be an issue.

Bitwarden has TOTP support with a pro license. Or you can just selfhost (using vaultwarden) and have all the features instead.

according to a detailed writeup of the event by Doug Madory, a BGP expert at security and networking firm Kentik.

What's a ”BGP expert”? Most of this stuff is covered in an undergraduate networking course. Wouldn't just "networking expert" do?

Oh God. Did the kettle boil over?

And I'll be sure to let them know that I use windower add-ons and DAT mods when playing FF11. Maybe they'll ban my PS2/PlayOnline from any future updates?

Pretty sure emergency mobile broadcasts are included (at least by gov agencies) but you know what happens with these things that are only used for emergencies:

"It's annoying can't I turn it off?"

That's why I still think the more methods the better. It's probably one of the few reasons I'm okay with being bombarded with messages (not in jp, but literally got 2 earthquake warnings yesterday).

The problem here is they need to stay where the users are. It doesn't matter if Twitter is shit, as long as that's where people are the broadcasts need to be there to reach as many people as possible. Hell, if 90% of the people are on IRC then they should also support IRC. Dumping Twitter isn't going to make it better, it would only mean people are less likely to get warnings -> more people in danger.

At least with a half broken app there's still a chance.

Pros of working in an office:

  • clear separation of work and home
  • can easily ask coworkers next to you for a second opinion on things

Cons of working in an office:

  • commute
  • coworkers casually ask you for a second opinion on everything

There's the clearurl addon that removes known trackers. But you gotta copy it from the URL bar first.

I think we may be looking at these wrong. Yes there's a visible throughput/latency improvement here but what about other factors? Power savings? Cache efficiency? CPU cycles saved for other co-running processes?

These are going to be pretty hard to measure without an x86_64 simulator. So I don't fault them for not including such benches. But there might be more to the story here.
