If they wait long enough, they might be trading their stake in X for a candy bar.

65% down from the 300 mil that Fidelity put into the acquisition. This article isn't about the overall value, just one investors valuation of their investment.

Yeah, but the it's a good rule anyway, for some of the same reasons as the "Don't put it in an email if you wouldn't want it read aloud in a deposition" rule.

Aren't they? Changing a legacy app can take years to do the needed research, approval, procurement, and implementation. "Because my IT guy doesn't like Windows" is a terrible reason to undergo that process.

The same with retraining users on a whole new OS. You'll spend hours over the course of months answering "where did my C:\ drive go?". That's a lot of time you'll never get back.

Active Directory provides a lot of tools that are familiar to senior techs and easy enough for junior techs to figure out. I might prefer how Salt Stack works but I don't have time to train dozens of fellow techs.

Linux is cool for a number of reasons, but it isn't a magic easy button and a wise admin doesn't swap out fundamental parts of his tech stack without careful consideration.

There's some great answers already here, but I want to add a detail fir some context. Like others mentioned, Let's Encrypt does just the bare minimum of verification. They aren't really verifying that you are who you say you are, they are verifying you control the website. The reason is due to their goal.

They want as many people as possible using a secure Web protocol, and that requires as many people as possible have a certificate for any websites they run. There is minimal verification of identity, but the benefit of encrypted communications and even that bare minimum id is a huge step up in consumer security from old unprotected protocols.

Whole milk works great, and makes my cereal more filling too. If I buy a creamer, I tend to get one made of oat milk because it tends to last a bit longer in the fridge than real milk once opened. Califia has a fairly fun cinnamon one.

I'm not sure why I seem to have had more trouble with the Aeropress than other people, but today it came out well and I want to share.

I ground the coffee pretty fine, at 18 on my 1zpresso JX-Pro. This is finer than I use for pourover, but not nearly as fine as I use for Turkish. I put 12 grams of coffee into the Aeropress, and slowly poured 180 grams of hot water over it. I let that sit for about 40 seconds then started pressing. I added a little more water to the pressed cup to dilute it, and it is nicely balanced. For the longest time my cups had been far too sour, but this came out tasty.

I think my problem before was too much coffee and too little water.

I have used a Tupperware full of tap water to stop the brew process. That's slightly less fussy than hovering it over heat. Worked pretty well.

I'm shocked that it's weaker than pour over; I didn't think a moka pot was capable of that. Are you filling the bottom chamber to just below the safety valve or going over it?

When I grind for my pot I grind finer than I would for a pour over. How fine have you been grinding?
