It's unfortunate that the MSDN blog shufflings over the years resulted in losing all the comments on the original post...

Any suggested resources for someone else interested in the evolution of the nation state?

Traffic between you and the public DNS servers isn't encrypted, so your ISP can still read it.

(I suppose this is one of the problems that DNS-over-HTTPS is designed to fix.)

In addition to the comments about APY, this analysis also assumes that you'll get the same 2.32% rate when you buy another bond three months from now, six months from now, etc.--correct me if I'm wrong, but that rate isn't guaranteed to hold up through the year.
Re:iTerm2 has a new drawing engine that uses Metal 2 on Monday July 30, 2018 @08:52PM (#17649677)
In iTerm Preferences, Keys, set Left Command to Control, then in the Key Mappings list, add each Cmd-xyz combo you want to preserve, and set its action to "Do Not Remap Modifiers".

In my case, iTerm2 can do more sophisticated keyboard remapping than the standard terminal. Specifically: I have Caps Lock globally remapped to Command. Except, in iTerm, it acts as Control. Except, if I'm using some specific combos, like Cmd-Tab or Cmd-`; then it acts as Command again.

A good usecase for Docker, maybe? Put the script in a container and let it run wild, then delete the container when it's done.
