This is why I purchase iOS devices - ultimately their closed garden provides a smaller attack surface, clearly evidenced by the comparative (to Android) cost of exploits on the black market.

I cannot see this as anticompetitive. If you want open, you have that choice in Android.

Knowing that a danger exists within the offering of your product and doing nothing to mitigate or remove the issue absolutely makes you, in part, liable. Do others in this situation share liability? Absolutely.

Commonly used on private trackers, considered the gold standard for accurately preserving rips.

I have a number of long lasting relationships that began/spent years in front of a camera. You should consider that what you're bringing to the table in these interactions might be limiting the scope of what you can get out of it.

Isn't the typical argument against such vouchers in Housing that companies will simply bake the voucher amount into the price, leaving us in the same place without a public option?

US, Lead Dev position, I just received a 6.5% pay increase this last month. Folks massively overhired last year, they're mostly still doing fine however, and there's a correction going around for that. It may end up that things get a bit worse this near necessitating what I would consider a _real_ round of layoffs, but we're not quite there yet (Zoom and the like being the exception given their reliance on remote/at-home focused clients).

Late to the thread and haven't read anyone else's responses yet, but I get the feeling this is going to be a common refrain; I'd just go with what I'm most familiar with.

Some off the shelf PHP8/Nginx Docker container, Laravel for the API (always pull in php/larastan for enforcing best practices), Maria for the DB, Laravel's Blade/Vue for the front, probably slap it on AWS as that's what I'm most familiar with. I like structured data, I like that modern PHP has (90%) of the safety of Java while being less verbose.

A bit off topic; I of course understand that I'm an odd situation and not representative of the broader trend at play here... But moving into remote work inspired my partner and I to move into Manhattan from the sprawling car driven nightmare that was Phoenix.

Tiny little studio, but we've never been particularly materialistic, a murphy bed massively opens up the space, and no office to go into means once the day is over we're a step or short train ride to really anything we could imagine doing without having to worry about gas/Uber pricing. Went for a lovely bike ride early in the morning, the city is practically dead at ~4:30AM. Whole Foods is just as expensive as it was in the suburbs of Phoenix, and our local Trader Joes is cheaper than the Fry's (Kroger) was out West. Then you have the street produce that absolutely slaughters any prices I've seen anywhere.

It's a little bit of work to find reasonably priced restaurants, admittedly, but there still are 6-10$ plates out here if you have the patience to look. I do miss In-N-Out.

Though really I think this is an indictment of the current state of Phoenix more than it is a reason to praise Manhattan... I'm sure any of the many lovely "flyover" states in-between would have much more livable pricing, and the drive cross-country showed that Arizona has some of the highest gas prices in the country.

Plan to move onto Wisconsin after a couple years, another plus of working remote (with companies that are very open/willing to support us in that choice).

As someone with a few Patreon feeds, yes it is widely supported, and the few that don't support it do support URL parameters so a token works fine as well.

Wouldn't this in turn enable what is, by and large, an avoidable state of self that adds considerable strain on an already overly-taxed medical system?

Absolutely; as an example, last agency I worked for offered both directly integrated and headless Shopify builds. Headless costs a bit more, but came with a translation layer that also integrated with Magento's API in the event the client ever wanted to move away from Shopify.

I personally use `ebook-convert` (comes with Calibre) with a simple script that'll capture anything in a drop dir, convert it, and email it off.
