But the point of the original article is that "just rent it again" is entirely dependent on the renting authority deciding they still want to rent it to you. If Kindle decided (or was pressured) to censor a book for whatever reason, then it has enormous ability to dictate exactly what type of information you're able to consume.
Yes, but only for my coworker's sake rather than my own. It took me a while to find the "disable video on meeting join" setting in Zoom so more than once I was shirtless and unshaven for the first few seconds of standup.
Something about this rubbed me the wrong way and I realized it was because this pretends that ignoring much of the long tail of userbase is not only okay but beneficial to the majority. If, say, Quip ignored bugs in IE6 that's likely fine because my parents using their CRT iMac aren't going to be using Quip, but imagine if a crucial app like Gmail ignored older browsers; suddenly all the disadvantaged people that can't afford new laptops lose access to their email.
If it's a bug that 10 users are hitting because they were migrated from an earlier version incorrectly, sure it might be okay not to fix, but if 10 users are hitting it because they're legally blind and using an extraordinarily large font to use your product, it's crappy to say they don't deserve a fix. You have to understand what part of your userbase is hitting a bug and then decide from there.
One of the biggest benefits of off-site backup is stability. That's why something like a bank's safe-deposit box or my parent's firesafe are my preferred locations. A backup in your pocket is great until you lose your keys, your pants get a hole in the pocket, you get pushed into a pond, etc.
A lot of the replies either rely on third party services (albeit encrypted) or forget about the third part of the holy backup trinity of having something offsite.
It sounds like you're thinking of local backup while you're traveling, which is great. The portability of USB sticks seems perfect for your use case, although I think a 1TB stick is still a stretch, maybe look into a small self-powered external SSD drive. If using OSX you can encrypt it and use Time Machine to auto-backup when plugged in (easy) or just use an rsync script (manual).
But don't forget to ship these backups offsite once you're home. If you get a couple of 2TB drives to account for growth, you could get into the habit of depositing the current backup into offsite location, grabbing the old backup from offsite, and just rotating every couple of weeks. Offsite could be a local bank safe deposit, a work office, or out of town family. (I consider family second-party, not third-party.) Local backup means nothing if you have to evacuate due to flood (east coast hurricanes), fire (california wildfires), or any unforeseen disaster.
I use this method to backup 10TB of photography that I can't do online without a fiber uplink. Thankfully 10TB platter drives are possible these days for me to flat-rate mail to my parents across the country. (And yes, Synology for local backup, that seems to be the hit here.)
Sources? Copyright issues back then were a bit tricky. 28 years with mandatory registration, and so Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring (1913) is around the line of 27 years to Disney's Fantasia (1940), and if Stravinsky didn't register it, then the only organization they'd have to pay is the Philadelphia Orchestra, depending on when it was recorded...
Sierra Point, Coyote Point, Redwood City are the only current viable ports along the south. Creating new ports for a ferry system would involve a lot of dredging in addition to the infrastructure construction, which is not only costly but severely impacts the already damaged wetlands that line the bay.
I tied my email address to my USPS address three apartments and half a decade ago. Apparently I never updated it since I'm now receiving email from Informed Delivery with images of mail addressed to that apartment which is obviously not addressed to me...
I was an engineer at Apple for a while and I never got the feeling that this was malicious behavior. New features and ever increasing codebase always makes things slow down, and speed of old devices was never the top priority; instead, new power hungry features were often released to take advantage of new hardware speeds, so it's not surprising to me that the biggest iOS slowdowns coincide with new hardware releases.
> In addition to perfecting the StarChip itself, the initiative will need to develop sophisticated communications systems capable of transmitting data over interstellar distances, as well as durable light sails to attach to the chips and gigantic lasers to generate the light energy to push the sails.
So really this is an announcement about a microchip they launched into space, while propulsion and communication still need to be created.
Digitally Imported has a very wide range of, well, digital music.
They have some free ad supported streams but the annual cost of ad-free $70 is totally worth it in my opinion.
My current favorite channels are Chillstep, Liquid DnB, Nu Disco, Chill & Tropical House. Various levels of repetitive bass to keep your leg and fingers twitching, and differing tempos to either raise or lower your heart rate, depending on what you need in the moment.
So, the first "only 10%" waste airport?
