I would hazard a guess you could make 99.5% of transactions with EFTPOS in NZ - the exceptions might be a few vendors at farmers markets (most take EFTPOS), sausage sizzles/ad-hoc fundraisers, fruit honesty boxes on the side of the road, etc. Maybe only 85% would take credit/debit, though.

From my experience in sydney/melbourne more places take credit/debit than NZ but also more places are cash only. Not as much penetration for EFTPOS.

You can move state around with `terraform state mv`. It's a bit tricky and has some gotchas but works (which applies to terraform as a whole really)

I have a skylake xeon from january 2016, and I think they had been around for a few months then?

I believe it's that javascript apps built without due care and consideration don't use true links, they use onclick handlers.

Unmetered gigabit internet is widely available over both fibre and cable. It's not particularly cheap (equiv of $80 USD+tax) but it's there.

Bane, not vain

Like the other reply says, not necessary unless you use deduplication. Mine has 60TB/16GB with no issues; I reckon it would be fine with half that.

Works for taxis too. An acquaintance of mine has regularly (once or twice a week) had to travel from his home to the airport, about a $100 fare each way. He's used the same taxi driver for about 10 years - knowing that either this driver (or someone the driver vouches for) will be on time every time.

(taxi expenses are covered by his work but personal car travel is not, so he doesn't drive, go figure)

No, it worked - you were just paused along with it. (It times out automatically if there is no user input.)

They are cheaper, obviously

IIRC it was $50,000 USD for 2 years per appliance; that might have been per 2 appliances.

"Normally I'd have copied/moved the files at block-level (eg. using dd or pvmove), but suspecting bad blocks, I went for a file-level copy because then I'd know which files contained the bad blocks."

I believe this tip originated from writers. By leaving your thoughts incomplete, but with an end in mind, you can begin writing the next day and get into the flow immediately.

I get 10-12mbit pretty consistently on unmetered ADSL2, and did at the last two places I lived as well. The couple of people I know with VDSL get 30-40mbit. A couple of others with UFB get the full 100mbit. Perhaps you're just really unlucky. This is all across auckland with telecom, vodafone, slingslot, orcon.

Bose aviation headsets are amazing.

It's a small, english-speaking country, relatively isolated in space and time from the primary markets.

Herald on Sunday is a different newspaper. Herald > Stuff > Herald on Sunday in terms of trashiness.

Can't you do this already? Maybe you just need to update your dropbox client.

Don't they take several days? Does the US seriously not having something equivalent to direct credit?

Mobile phones absolutely do interfere with aeroplane systems. You know how your radio goes dit dit-dit dit when you change cell towers or receive a message? Happens with aircraft radios too. Extremely annoying when your passenger ignores your request to turn off their phone. VOR, ADF, NDB and ILS also all use radio waves and could therefore also be subject to interference.
