Yikes, the font on that website is incredibly distracting. Hard enough that I went and downloaded Readability for Chrome just to get through the article.

Reading more than a sentence caused my eyes to sort of glaze over and even when trying to focus I was reading but not grasping. Can't say I've ever had a font do that to me.

We use CloudBerry Backup for Linux Ultimate on a couple servers with great success. Initial setup was a little bumpy and we had to reach out to support, who was responsive and resolved our issue on the first reply. After that it has chugged away on daily backups for a couple months now.

I think we're storing about 20TB of daily and image backups on B2 right now, all done through CloudBerry for Windows Server or Linux.

Absolutely, we could all use a bit more focus on health in our life. I'm the same way; the extent of my exercise is taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and my girlfriend dragging me to a running trail on the weekend.

Profession/Position: CIO - full time, onsite - <50 employees

Workday:

[06:40] - Wake up, check a few headlines and get ready for the morning

[07:30] - Head to work, drive if my partner and I are carpooling, catch an Uber otherwise

[08:00] - Arrive at work, greet a few people, complain about someone forgetting to schedule the coffee pot. Check HN, Reddit, and a couple news organizations. Reply to a few important and/or quick to answer emails and Slack messages.

[09:00] - Get my hands dirty in whatever projects we have going at the moment, field emails and calls as they come in.

[13:00] - Working lunch, reply to emails and try to get some HN in.

[13:30] - Meet with CEO or whoever needs me then spend some time with different departments and jump in to help wherever I can be of use.

[15:00] - Start wrapping up for the day, clean around the office and lay out an agenda for the next day.

[16:00] - Head home

[16:30] - Power nap

[17:30] - Figure out where I misplaced my Blue Apron recipes and make dinner.

[18:30] - Usually try to get some work done, otherwise grab a controller and find a game if I'm feeling particularly uninspired.

[20:00] - Grab drinks at the dive with friends or co-workers.

[22:00] - Head to bed, get ready to start it all over again in a few hours.

It's not glamorous, but I've been fortunate to develop a schedule that keeps me productive the entire work day. There's only so much head-down work you can get done in a day, so taking the last few hours to help out in other departments and take some load off them keeps me engaged and always learning something new.

Another user suggested using Ethereum smart contracts for this. I'm not terribly familiar with Ethereum, but I wonder if the contract could be designed to automatically forward to a Charity-held wallet, or even the wallet of a reputable intermediary like Watsi.

Glitchy on Chrome 57. When I load a page to build, I'm unable to scroll more than 1/4 of the page then it jumps back to the top.

I found Papers, Please to be a really fascinating game. I've been on a indie binge lately (Firewatch is another recent favorite) and I felt Papers, Please had a really great story that a lot of indie games are missing. Plenty of options and tough choices to make, with different outcomes for everything.

I also appreciated that I could walk away at any point and pick it up later. I didn't feel "trapped" having to finish a mission like too many AAA games. Well worth the ten bucks in my opinion.

Anecdotally, a family member that regularly travels with their small dog experiences much less scrutiny.

Most times they're asked to hold the dog in it's crate and walk through the basic metal detector instead of a full-body scanner. In the 15 or so trips they have gone on in the last six months, they've never once been stopped for enhanced screening.

I wonder if this change breaks the extension, ha.

I can appreciate the flexibility you're offered even with the A-list clientele you have. In a world of "move fast and break things" I've re-worked that into my own mantra of "move fast and make things better."

In fintech we can't afford -- both figuratively and literally -- to break things, but you still have to allow your teams to take a crazy "bar napkin" idea and run with it without a bunch of red tape or you lose the competitive edge that makes you stand out.

Now changing the wording on a link isn't a crazy bar napkin idea, but it still demonstrates the flexibility you're afforded to make things better and I see a lot of value in that.

Real headline is "WikiLeaks Dumps Docs on CIA’s Hacking Tools"

Russia is only mentioned once in the article.

Has Wikileaks ever published a bad leak?

I'm not talking about their write-ups and descriptions -- which I sometimes find sensationalized -- but the raw data. I don't remember any instances where they have published falsified information.

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for. I appreciate the openness!

In a perfect world engineers would have to request elevated permissions from a manager/team lead to query tables holding financial information, but in our un-perfect world that's usually not feasible.
