Continuously consuming refined sugar and highly processed carbs is relatively new.
The resulting insulin production inhibits fat oxidation and increases fat storage.

> his old employer used non-protected but difficult-to-find preview links for ticketing pages.
Oh come on, I find it difficult to have sympathy for a company that does this.
It's a ticking time bomb, and certainly not hacking.

Another 'The Portal' recommendation:
41: Douglas Murray - Heroism 2020: Defense of Our Own Civilization

Two old friends riffing off each other about the world.
I've listened all the way through twice and both times have found myself laughing out loud and deep in thought simultaneously.
I look forward to seeing how Eric Weinstein will continue to evolve The Portal in 2021. No doubt he will continue to deliver outstanding content in his own uncompromising style.

Forgive my ignorance, but why do you believe he is a fraud?
There are a lot of public 'scientists' who have never been peer-reviewed.
I have enjoyed listening to quite a bit of Lex's content and to say 'Lex is a fraud' without any proof strikes me as unfair.
I did a quick search to try to check your assertions but didn't find anything troubling.
My only gripe about Lex is that he is annoyingly good at SEO and I find it hard to browse the web without bumping into his content.

This seems like a terrible move. Even if the prices are extortionate, how can eBay take away people's right to protect themselves?
Surely educating and empowering the general population to take their own measures to prevent the spread is the best thing we can do in this situation.
If this is a matter of supply shortage. Why the heck have the people in charge not covered this?

I'd be interested to hear how Slack patched this. Hopefully by removing the ability to apply settings from URLs altogether, rather than attempting any sort of sanitisation on the download settings.

I don't think you understood my point. Blocking websites is not scrutiny of the intelligence services.
I'm saying an individual with weapons doxed himself and telegraphed his intentions on a public forum and the security services completely missed it.
That could all have been be picked up without any new laws or intervention from Facebook. We need to analyse how it was missed and learn from it.

The Christchurch shooter amassed a cache of weapons, and also posted a copy of his manifesto and a link to his real Facebook account to 4chan.
The censorship/Facebook algorithms amplifying abhorrent content debate is one thing but I'm surprised by the lack of scrutiny of the security services over this. Especially for a member of the 5 Eyes. I can't help but feel this could have been prevented without any of the changes being proposed.

You learn something new every day! Google translate didn't help me there :)

I'm a fan of liquibase. It's a very mature tool which allows you to run it every time the application starts, useful for development to create in-memory dbs. Or you can just call it as part of the build process if you don't want to check the DB changelog tables on startup.
It tracks changes that have been applied in changelog tables so you don't apply them multiple times.
Common operations such as adding a column are defined in a supported markup language but for more complicated things, such as migrating data, you can reference ad-hoc SQL files. All of which can be checked-in to your codebase.
The only real downside is because you are applying the entire development history of the database, you can sometimes be caught doing illogical things like adding and then removing something later on. This can be mitigated by rewriting history if needed though.
Flyway was not as good for me because it lacked a domain language, raw SQL makes it less easy to interpret but I know developers who preferred that.

For the non-multilingual (like myself).

Could you not apply the same logic to any occupation?
I get out of bed, head to an office and build software on the orders of those who pay me, I get summoned to meetings at their behest, I work long hours, only stopping to go to the toilet, I too get home and collapse into bed to repeat the next day.
It seems though that a browser would not allow 'non-simple' headers in no-cors mode[0].
Authorization headers for example would not be allowed (if i'm reading correctly). So any API using that header would not be affected by this issue right?
