Thank you so much for the possibility. I grew up with scanners and am truly reminiscing while listening on these intercepts.

Here in Europe there is close to no police still using analog and listening to air traffic control or couriers just does not cut it for me.

Bought the app, hope you'll be able to keep this up.

TIL the expression "the Volkswagen strategy" and I love it.

Thanks, I'll be using that.

The Old Reader works like a champ.

I went the same route as you did, and have the same attitude towards sites that do not provide a RSS feed: they drop of my radar.

> Using Chrome Galvanizer, you can protect yourself from attacks like this by specifying specific sites that one or all of your extensions can no longer access. For the MEGA case, if users had created a policy restricting access for the MEGA extension to access amazon.com, live.com, github.com, google.com, myetherwallet.com, mymonero.com, and idex.market then they'd be protected from the attack.

You might as well turn off the internet for some.

> But they always seem to take a shortcut and put a modern engine/driveline in it.

YMMV. For me that is not a shortcut (although it is a lot less valuable) but a prerequisite. I will like modern technology and I like old style.

What about: nothing, just accumulate more, stach it and one day a need or opportunity will arise.

Might not be a popular opinion since we all are expected to optimize everything but 50 years in and this non strategy has made my financial live rather dull, which I like.

I would like to say thank you to him, since it opened a huge budget and mandate for my security team at the time.

No more draining discussion if AV needed to be installed on particular systems, the right to wipe any employees desk or laptop in case of "issues", create outbound firewall rules (yes those where new, and yes it saved a lot of damage 3 years later when Slammer hit, but that's another story) and budget to install "monitoring services" on whatever we'd like.

The total data loss was limited, the costs of employees not being able to work was a lot worst.

> A house around 30 years old is worthless

Living in a city which city center was (re-) build between the 16th and 17th century, the 30 years till worthless puzzles me.

Even the house I live in is over 100 years old and in excellent condition.

Why do houses loose their value so rapidly in Tokyo?

THE thing I wished more developers knew about databases: they are badass when it comes to data manipulation.

Stop sucking all data and manipulate it in your language of choice. Tell you DBA what you want done and let her do it for you.

Really, DB's may look like they are the special needs kid in the chain, but they're magnificent powerhouses when it comes to 90% of what you are trying to do to data.

I was under the impression you actually can via exactly one browser: Microsoft Edge.

It is really interesting since this is one of these parameters one can check easily and cheap (OXI meters are around 100 euro). And they're still available ATM.

Ah Adrian! Yes his SCION is quite impressive and has plenty of cool features, but if it will ever outgrow the “future internet” technology phase remains to be seen.

I (other account) once submitted their work to HN to see what real smart people thought about it, but it got 0 traction.
