Perhaps you’re thinking of Ocracoke, North Carolina[0]

I have used Netlimiter on Windows in the past. It seems to have comparable functionality to Little Snitch


FWIW, eBay no longer works like this. When you put up a listing there’s now an option, enabled by default, to require payment at checkout.

This situation may still occur if you are taking offers on an item. In that case the buyer has to pay within 48 hours of the offer being accepted or the listing will become eligible for re-posting.


Our national buy/sell platform (aquired by ebay twenty or so years ago) has a similar system now where they will handle the payments and exchange of currency on confirmation of reception of items etc, I believe it's very successful, but they had to do something because nobody was trusting the site anymore for trading anything valuable.


I was curious about the calculator comment, so I looked it up. The following terminal command supposedly does the trick:

open -na Calculator


if you're already on a computer, http://sheets.new seems way more useful.


This is basically the point of PSLF[0]. The cost to participants is not $0, but it can ultimately be very low if they only make income adjusted payments during their 10 years of service.

I think the idea is that if you were recording a podcast it wouldn’t be live (I know the parent used the word live but I think they meant “live” during recording or in conversation while the episode is being created), so you are free to make references to soon to be declared URLs.

You just have to make sure you have populated the content at the location you are referencing before you upload or publish your episode for your listeners.


> You just have to make sure you have populated the content at the location you are referencing before you upload

You don't even have to do that, though. It suffices to say, "I'll wire these things up on Monday."


I wonder to what extent formal verification methods are being employed in the development of these kinds of things.


From the look of these bugs, like this one but especially the other race condition bug that suggested 10x the user's input dosage, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say formal verification appears to be used little or none..


I always took democratize access to X to mean “I would like to give many people the opportunity to give me lots of money by buying my product.”


I saw a funny tweet recently from a guy who was spending $187 a month to not learn art. He was subscribed to like 9 different ai subscription services


If we are thinking of the same tweet, it was from an influencer who shows off these different tools on his YouTube channel. So of course he's subscribed to all of them. Quite the disingenuous framing


Unless he is in a third world country, the value of your time spent trying to 'learn art' would be much, much higher than that.


According to this article walking burns about 30% less, but still closer than I would have expected!

I'd probably wager that with walking you can go up way steeper inclines than you can otherwise comfortably jog. That might change things considerably. According to one study you burn over 30% more calories walking up a 10% incline (about 17% calories much for a 5% incline).

If I had to guess: side load F-Droid onto the Fire Stick and install Termux from there.

Then you could SSH into a cloud computing environment and work off that.


Termux has an entire package repository, community, and package maintainers. I'm a maintainer.

It's basically a distribution of Linux userspace so natively tools are available, along with compilers and the like.

Very useful, and will probably keep me on Android forever.


The attacks were lower tech than that. Just social engineering/phishing/sim-swapping. Things that could be done from any device without even a terminal.


No need for cloud computing. My first CS semester was done with Termux, a cheap android tablet and a Bluetooth keyboard.


Any number of cloud services will give you a terminal on a web page to access your VM. You don't need to touch the hardware if you have a web browser.
