> Ask the search engine Ecosia about “Paris to Prague” and flight booking websites dominate the results. Ecosia’s CEO Christian Kroll would prefer to present more train options, which he considers better for the environment. But because its results are licensed from Google and Microsoft’s Bing, Ecosia has little control over what’s shown. Kroll is ready for that to change.

While I think Google sucks right now and we need something new, this specific reason is so dumb. Unless I add the word "train" or "air" etc. I would much rather be shown either all options or the one that I care about most (if it's flying, then so be it - the search engine can't and shouldn't try to filter out options FOR me without my consent)

I will soon! (I did it for a work related project so I want to make sure that I go through a few formalities to make the repo public).

It's a pretty cool repo - includes templates for ELK on K8S, ECS and Docker Swarm (Compose).

I'm working on testing some HA on it next week!

I totally agree...It's crazy that they don't even offer a docker-compose file of sorts to being all their own tools together to demo the power of their own tools.

I recently wanted to see ELK in action...and it took me a few hours to set it all up and configure everything together with just basic docker and docker-compose. It really should not be that hard :/

and this trial can't be disabled (to use them for an unlimited amount of time) by someone by modifying your source because your license prohibits that? Am I correct in that assumption?

unrelated question to the server but related to Sourcegraph: Why did you guys switch away from the VS code style editor on the web to an uneditable one? I loved using it.

on an unrelated note: did you work on AWS SQS?

Why is this dupe? I posted the source. I noticed someone posted the twitter link after i posted but I (and hopefully others) rather read this than some (imo biased) opinionated article/tweet from blog/twitter/news agency.

The newsweek article claims 2 of them were directors.

I can see how Directors can afford to spend 30k - 50k a year for sex

umm that's highly disingenuous.

If you accept cash -> banks have a fixed transaction fee (anywhere between $2 to $25 for any amount of money).

If you accept credit/debit/mobile -> there are atleast 2 transaction fees - one by the payment provider (generally % based) and one by your bank (fixed fee).

Really? I was recently looking for business accounts at the big 4, and I saw that after a minimum number free transactions, any transaction has a fee (cash or not).

I can't remember the name - it's near union station - Bremner / York. It's a very hipsterish place.

I've experienced something similar at resturants in TO recently! Not only didn't they straight up refuse cash, they asked me download their app to pay for food.

Obviously I walked out and got lunch elsewhere, but later when I was told that they sell their own currency in the app for CAD in denominations of 5. But their food + tax, is never sold at that amount - meaning, if your lunch is $10, tax makes it $11.3, you have to pay $15 in the app. If you have no intention of coming back, you loose the rest. This is such a scam.

Also what's the problem with accepting cash? It's trackless and it's anonymous - I love it. Why should everything I buy be tracked by Banks, Corps and everyone in-between? Furthermore, unlike credit, there's are no fees associated with it so it's slightly better for the seller too.

Btw if this does not give you a worry, think about this: all your expenses always end up at companies like Equifax. If them already selling it does not scare you, a leak should. Imagine if your transaction history can be used to refuse employment, housing etc. (without letting you know that's the case). Cash does not have any of those issues.

The biggest 2 main issues with cash is - what if I get pickpocketed? and the solution is to never really walk around with more than $50-100. I've been using cash since I was a kid, and I've never gotten pickpocketed. The 2nd one is tracking your expenses - but I personally feel like using cash has made me spend a lot less than when I used my credit card.
