I was able to pass four AWS certifications and learning a ton in the process by taking courses on https://acloudguru.com/ and lots of practice on AWS itself.

Highly recommend acloud. I would use them again to re-up my certs as well.

Wow! I'm a lemonade customer and the fact that leadership twice mentions that leaking customer data is by design, is mind-boggling to me. What product owner would suggest such a feature!?

Any recommendations for a replacement?

Sites we interact with may become adversarial towards us at any time they see fit. I wish my browser and the extensions I use were sacrosanct and outside the purview of other companies/sites.

Without a doubt! I'm not too concerned because I'm using it within the USA to access my email, HN, and various other common websites while on public wifi.

I've set up my own VPN using Streisand [https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand] & Google Compute Engine (Micro Instance). When you create an account on Google's Cloud, you get $300 (or used to at least). This instance type is big enough to handle the few devices I connect to it, fairly speedily too.

I was just going to say that same thing. Unfortunately, the chains of habit are generally to small to feel until they are to hard to break. Even with this change in hardware, how many will change this ingrained habit of theirs?

Living in NYC also, I use Gett mostly and sometimes Juno (due to 30% off limited time promotion). I always ask drivers which service they like. Many do not like Uber or Lyft due to the % they take, compared to Gett/Juno.

Also, I found it interesting that nearly all drivers have multiple cell phones logged into separate services, sometimes Gett and Juno! I wonder what the percentage of drivers Gett will be picking up that were already Juno drivers.
