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.

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

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)

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.

smgoller | 11 years ago | on: Hearth Stone: How many packs to get a full collection?
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.

Crap. I just realized what I said was completely ambiguous. What I meant was, does it deal with FLAC images of albums? (whole album stored in a single file with cuesheet.)
smgoller | 12 years ago | on: Beets – Command-line music manager and auto-tagger
Does this deal with FLAC album images properly?

Someplace mid-peninsula in the bay area would be nice too, like Mountain View, Palo Alto or similar.

CoinBase might be a good integration point for Biitcoin support.

This doesn't work for me in Chrome (28.0.1500.71). Other apps work fine. Is there something that needs to be done to get it to work?

They just opened Phase 3 in Fremont2. All the racks are 36" and there is tons of available space. I agree that power is expensive, but the bandwidth cost can't really be beat.

How do you add things? In the console category I notice that both the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 are missing.

This is completely bogus. Fry's has grey market imported these phones. They also sell GSM Galaxy Nexuses from (I believe) South America.

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.
