If you hate Burger King, more power to you. But it's not just about putting real food out there, it's also about making it accessible to people who are lower on resources like money and time. Apparently it's super hard to do that. Even this rollout, which I applaud as getting healthier food in reach of more people, can be financially daunting to some families at an extra dollar per burger.

There's a food truck by my house that sells Impossible 2.0 burgers, and they charge $4 extra for it over meat burgers. If I can get something even close to that burger for half the price, I'm there, because it's that good.


Yes, that's what I mean by "why can't we push real food?". Why can't we make it cheap and fast for people who have no money or time? Why do those people need to eat shit, in order to stay satiated (but not really fed)?

And if fake meat is more expensive than the real deal and is not the real deal, then how is it going to fix anything?


I for sure believe this is the proper course of action. I also think companies that operate websites with sensitive data should block Australians from using their services because of the large possibility of being accessed by compromised devices. And if you want to go really all the way to full paranoid mode, Australia's peering points should be blackholed/shut off due to security concerns.

Looks like my email provider ConvertKit had some database issues this morning.

SMH.


How would you compare EnvKey to something like HashiCorp's Vault?


I've been meaning to write up a comparison with Vault for the website. Simplicity is definitely the main differentiator. EnvKey is designed to "just work" from a developer's perspective, and to actually save time/boost productive instead of being an obstacle. There's no server setup or administration, and integration is just 1-2 lines of code and a single environment variable, vs. being a good amount of work with Vault.

In general, EnvKey is usually a 5-15 minute setup and integration process that requires no ongoing maintenance, whereas depending on a company's level of devops sophistication/resources, Vault is an n days - n weeks project to get it working just right, and will usually require additional maintenance/integration work on an ongoing basis.

Another area that I think can get overlooked with Vault is development secrets. In my view, it is important to protect these just as well as production secrets, since prod-level secrets can easily slip through the cracks and end up in development environments for various reasons. Vault can be setup to manage these, but it's not really the focus, and so you are left to your own devices in terms of integrating it into a dev-friendly workflow. EnvKey, on the other hand, makes distributing development config and secrets totally seamless.


I think it's a little weird and biased to imply that Hashicorp's vault needs special setup to manage development secrets.

Vault stores secrets. That's all it does. (Well it can also generate TLS certificates, handle AWS integration and more..) Once you have a vault instance adding a new secret takes seconds and the having an instance for development, and a second for production is trivial.

You can also prefer a single instance with more restrictions, logging, and similar.

* secret/$application/development/db_user * secret/$application/development/db_pass * secret/$application/development/db_host

vs

* secret/$application/production/db_user * secret/$application/production/db_pass * secret/$application/production/db_host

But the vault itself doesn't care about dev vs. prod. That's more an infrastracture question about which hosts can talk to it, etc.


Fair enough. My point is just that getting it working smoothly with a development workflow is another task that likely won't be trivial.


The author explicitly states that he posted in order to corroborate what aspects of Jane Doe's description of the event that he could. The more people that provide evidence about a thing, the more likely others are to take it seriously. So there is everything to see here. (edited to fix verb tense)


He provided evidence that there was a party, but there's nothing wrong with parties. He didn't really provide evidence of anything else.

It's like trying to corroborate a report of a crime in San Francisco by helpfully saying "Yes! I've been to San Francisco, and it is by the bay."


I second what wlamartin said. We have pipelines that do integration tests that spin up 30 instance clusters in AWS. Trying to spin up something similar inside a concourse worker just isn't worth trying.


Authenticator Plus (https://www.authenticatorplus.com/) has both apple watch and android wear support.


550 packs costs 55,000 gold (100 per pack). If you win 30 games a day (max) that gets you 100 gold. the daily quest gets you minimum 40 gold. That would be 393 days worst case. However, if you play arena and can 'go infinite', that is, win at least 7 games in a given arena run, and you are guaranteed to get back more gold than you put in. You also get a free pack with every run regardless, so even if you only make back 50 gold you've at least broken even, plus you'll get dust to craft cards. I believe there are streamers out there that have full collections without dropping a dime on HS. In any case, if you are that adamant about not paying for HS it's possible to achieve a full collection within a year. Personally, I am not that adamant, and have happily spent money on the game to support it.


You can easily earn those cards without paying cash for them, the wings can be unlocked with gold earned by doing daily quests and arena. (which will turn a profit if you're good enough)


It could also be evidence that people started watching the rip and decided that it was worth going to see in the theater instead.
