"I am clever because tulips and Holland lol. you certainly won't find ME getting taken by all those bitcoin hucksters, yuk yuk yuk"


let's not find out. don't sleep in your car while drunk. there, problem solved! ;-D


>can't arrest someone for being drunk and having their car keys in their pocket

yes you can, at least in Florida. i had to recently take a driving class to avoid points on my license, and one of the points the instructor really impressed on that class was that IF you're in the parking lot in your car, (asleep or awake, doesn't matter) AND a police officer stops you AND gives you a sobriety test AND your BAC is over the limit, you're getting cited for sure.

be responsible and get an uber or a lyft or a taxi or any of the other options available to you.

Ye, I should have re-read myself and opted for cancelling the previous comment. sorry. :\



this post introduced me to the arrow function ((https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24900875)), which i'd previously not heard of. evidently it was introduced in ECMAscript 6 but for engines that use JavaScript and older browsers (amazingly, they still exist) it won't work


There is a spurious ) ending your link, resulting in page not found error.

For those using arrow functions these days for web, most will use Babel in the build process to provide compatibility with older platforms.


my notes from this article:

  * don't use linkedin
  * don't use hotmail
  * always use 2FA
  * use complicated and different passwords
  * security questions matter
  * avocado toast?
  * change passwords periodically


> avocado toast?

A couple of Australian doofuses said that it's millenials' own fault they can't afford homes, because some of them buy expensive meals sometimes. http://time.com/money/4778942/avocados-millennials-home-buyi...

The internet has had a lot of fun with it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/food/wp/2017/05/15/dont-...


"Warren and Tyagi demonstrated that buying common luxury items wasn’t the issue for most Americans. The problem was the fixed costs, the things that are difficult to cut back on. Housing, health care, and education cost the average family 75 percent of their discretionary income in the 2000s. The comparable figure in 1973: 50 percent."

Whoa.


I found it rich the millionaire said that given that his grandfather gave him $34k to buy as house(0).

Steps to becoming a millionaire:

1) Family gives you money.

2) Don't squander the money on hookers and blow.

3) Use life opportunities that having wealth brings to create more wealth.[1]

4) Congrats, you're a millionaire.

Anyone can do it!

[1] They say "you need money to make money" and speaking as someone who has both lived with no money and now lives with lots of money, it's sooooooo true. The more money you have the easier it is to acquire even more money.


well i saw the storm on twitter where the lady was all "i am old enough o be your damn mama and also i'm black and you should eat the avocado toast because carpe diem" or some shit and it got like 36K likes and 15K retweets. so i figured it was just more of that.

>security questions matter

This sucks and I wish I could turn it off on accounts that I've set up my yubi key on. It's a strong password at best and my mothers maiden name at worst.

I am still so pissed about the Linkedin leak. I will never use them again.


still confused about why people use them in the first place.i see no benefits of having a linkedin account. i'm probably just confused about what they are and how they work.


In my experience it exists so that lazy recruiters can relentlessly spam users with completely irrelevant job vacancies based on odd keywords that appear in their profiles.

A year ago I made the transition from contract developer to employer and therefore have a lot of "developer" keywords and experience on there. My profile makes it very clear that I'm busy running a business and not looking for entry-level contract positions. It also clearly says "no agencies" in the contact details. I still get multiple messages and connection requests from clueless recruiters playing the numbers game to the point where the site actually has a net negative value to me due to wasted time.

Still, I'll probably go check it out now that I've been reminded that it exists... If only to go and clear out my inbox again.


I’m now realizing you could easily social engineer my S Questions out of me.

Beside that I follow basically everything on this list (not avocado toast) :)


> always use 2FA

Well if you are using your phone and change countries you end up with lot of issues as I found out the hard way :(


U2F. Just sad support is growing so slowly.


avocado toast!


I read one of the first sentences of one of the paragraphs as "Kids’ videos are among the most wretched content in YouTube history," and went "well, yeah, Spiderman and Elsa and all that weird shit." Then I reread it properly and realized it said "watched content," and went, "yeah, that makes more sense, but it's definitely some of the worst stuff on the internet.
