I recently became enamored with begonias. The four I’ve collected so far spent the summer outside under my patio and look gorgeous!

One plant was purchased online and arrived with pukey, neutral foliage. After a few months outside, it’s this beautiful, deep, iridescent red on a black border. My wife thinks I’m crazy for how much I fawn over them.

Did it fail? I enjoyed it! I don’t stay up to date with the critics though. Hope this doesn't mean the second season won’t get made.

It's remarkable that cloud providers don't offer a simple authorization-centric view of data access today. It reminds me of AWS's hands-off approach to locking down S3 buckets for so long. They are happy to sell you the gun and ammo and it's not their fault when you shoot yourself in the foot.

In my org at least, most of the time the doc is distributed ahead of time. It gives people a chance to spend more time on it or start adding inline comments. But we still start meetings with reading for those that don’t read ahead of time.

The clipboard is accessible from the javascript runtime from any page in any tab. Maybe disabling paste is intended to discourage the behavior?

I think this is also why lastpass clears your clipboard a few moments after you click the “copy to clipboard” button.
