I'm still on mp3s. I have gigs of music on my Plex server and just use that. Fuck subscriptions.

Not the person you're asking, but my general understanding is that different products would be required to be their own companies, so advertising, Android, and Chrome would all be separate businesses.

Making a profit from healthcare and health insurance.

Or even just make private health insurance illegal.

10 years ago would have been 2014; at that point 25 Bitcoin would be a good chunk of cash:

The price of bitcoin opened the year at $770, according to the CoinDesk Price Index. By mid-December, it was trading in the mid-$300 range. This represents a drop of more than 50% from the start of the year.

It'd be interesting to know when this was actually from; it's a great screenshot even without the exact details, though.

Along with that, I'll add in "number" vs "amount":

  • A shocking number of people get this wrong (countable)
  • The amount of confusion about it is distressing (aggregate)

Ah interesting, thanks!

Interesting! Sounds like they may have changed things a few times, or maybe my co-worker's memory has some gaps.

A coworker of mine has worked with CrowdStrike in the past; I haven't. He said that the releases he was familiar with from them in the past were all staged into groups and customers were encouraged to test internally before applying them; not sure if this is a different product or what, but it seems like a big step backwards of what he's saying is right.

Yeah, that's much different than the brown bread my family calls Irish soda bread. Here's the recipe:

  • ½ lb./225g whole wheat flour (1-3/4 c.)
  • 3 oz./75g unbleached white flour (2/3 c.)
  • 1½ oz./40g porridge oatlets (3 heaping Tbsp.)     (steel cut oatmeal or John McCann--in a tin)
  • 1½ oz./40g  wheat bran (1 c.)
  • 1½ oz./40g wheat germ (1/2 c.)
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 pint/600 ml buttermilk (2-1/8 to 2-1/3 c.)
  1. Preheat a cool oven, 300ºF/150ºC/Gas mark 2.
  2. Grease and flour a 2 lb./900g loaf tin (I use an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-5/8 inch bread pan).
  3. Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly.  Then, add them to the buttermilk and mix quickly to make a wet dough (I have found it better to use only 500 ml or 2-1/8 c. buttermilk).  Turn into loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven on the very bottom shelf for 2 to 2-1/4 hrs.  When cooked, the bread will shrink from the pan slightly and sound hollow when rapped on the bottom with the knuckles.

When I make it it's much wetter than that and definitely needs to to poured into a bread pan. This is for Irish Brown Bread, not for the white flour soda bread with currants and whatnot.
