Because when the grocery store employee picks the fruit for you online order they don’t care about getting the ripe ones with no blemishes.
Additionally they seem to always pick the perishables with the closest expiry date. IE milk from the front of the shelf that is expiring tomorrow rather than the stuff at the back that has 7 days before expiry.
Around 10 years ago i worked in a company that had lots of software and physical VOIP phones. One of the models of phone had a pretty nice colour screen on it. I forget the brand .. it might have been polycom.
At that time I was very much into nmap'ing everything and noticed that these devices had all sorts of interesting ports open including telnet and ftp. FTP was read only for anonymous but it was trivial to download and crack the passwd file and discover that the admin password was something like 1234. My colleagues and I only got as far as showing images on the screen to surprise people but my imagination was running wild with the surveillance possibilities (let alone doom!).
This was one of my first glimpses as how bad security on commercial embedded devices can be.
I have been suffering from gout for the last 4 years or so (36 y/o now) with roughly 1 attack per year, prominently in the right big toe. There is a history of gout in my family. More recently I've had the odd time where I have mild symptoms - pain in foot rather than toe and still able to limp around without too much issue. I have wanted to avoid taking allopurinol daily and have done a lot of research to find more natural / dietary solutions without really finding any silver bullet. Interesting things i have come across:
1. There is at least one study showing Lemon Juice it can lower uric acid levels in humans[1] seemingly by lowering PH of urine.
2. Tart cherry juice is mentioned a lot as a cure. There are a quite a few studies[2]. Make sure and get the tart cherry (Montmorency) juice, you can get it in a concentrated syrup. My uncle says he has not had an attack since he started drinking a generic supermarket tart juice every day. I have never had an attack whilst taking cherry juice but i haven't been taking it consistently.
3. Interesting article linking fructose and gout which matched my intuition a lot more than the link with meat - https://tim.blog/2009/10/05/gout/
4. Hot bath with epsom salts seems to temporarily ease symptoms.
I personally haven't noticed a correlation between eating meat / fish and gout attacks. I have gone from eating meat twice a day to about once a week now and there has been no noticeable change in the gout.
At this level of quality of speaker the accoustic properties of the room (and the location of the speakers) will have a bigger impact on the quality of the sound than spending more money on kit.
I have the M040 which are a newer and more environmentally friendly model aimed at bedroom producers (i believe). There is also a cheaper M030 model.
The M series offer only basic room response controls (e.g. if the speaker is located near a wall or in a corner). The parent alludes to much fancier calibration achieved with the use of a mic and DSP's in the speakers.
The other thing worth noting is that genelecs are very neutral sounding speakers and also (as they are designed as nearfield studio monitors) have a relatively small sweet spot. So maybe not the best choice to fill a big room at a party, but I love them very much :)
We spend lot of time thinking about making our services resilient against failure at the infrastructure level yet the domain registrar is often overlooked.
Not only do you have to worry about them making a technical mistake there is also the risk of a phishing attack.
A while back I did a bit of research about what was the most reliable registrar and the only one that i could find was Markmonitor. Most of the big sites (google.com facebook.com etc) use them. They offer lots of cool features that i had never heard of like registrar level locking and custom 'protocols' (like a phonecall from X no. of authorised people) to validate a change. Plus some others that seemed less interesting (to me) such as the brand protection.
They do of course charge a pretty penny. From memory there was a minimum cost of $30k per year which allowed you pretty much as many domains as you might want and the promise of being able to get ahold of a human if something goes wrong.
Long time unhappy user of Lastpass here. Would really like to hear what alternatives people are using that have at least the following features:
1. Mac/Window/Linux support
2. Ability to control accounts from an admin account. PW/2FA reset, export/wipe of accounts etc.
3. Reasonably secure
4. Not too terrible to use for Engineers/non-techies alike.
I wonder what 1.2Tb would do if pointed at a ELB or an AZ in AWS. Someone must have tried at some point but i've never heard of any widespread outages caused by DDOS on AWS. Is it just that bandwidth available to an AWS datacenter is that much bigger than what dyn have?
