Yeah, but "increasing taxes" always rouses the rabble.

The post office has used OCR machines (optical character recognition) since the 80s.
I think the 80s machines used something more like hand built digital image processing to find the characters, but OCR is absolutely not new.

uh no... You still need a heat pump. The water coming from that system would be like 50 degrees, far too cold for heating.

(glanced at it so I could be wrong) They're talking about a public key that can be used to validate the JWT's authenticity. AFAIK there is no need to keep these secret, and it's not possible to (without breaking public key crypto) forge them so it should be safe to store them wherever.

If Netflix still interviews on hacker rank puzzles I think this should be a wake up call. Interviewing on irrelevant logic puzzles is no match for systems engineering.

ZFS does bring in file system level versioning. Not widely adopted yet though.

When I worked for the post office, our pay keeping clocks were 24 hours to a day with 100 minutes to the hour. It was super weird to look at a clock and see that the time was 18:79. Eventually I got used to keeping time in quarter hour increments, because the math lined up well enough.

This makes a lot of presumptuous about the intention of the adults here. Do you know that these are not something similar to adoptive parents?!
