You can buy a MOCA adapter for ~$70 that will work with pretty much any router.

Looks like it has to do with the way the transfer works. I bet you could backup more than 5 TB, but you've got to re-upload it.

What happens to my cloud backups to CrashPlan Central?
Most backups to CrashPlan Central continue automatically.

There is one exception: cloud backups that are larger than 5 TB cannot be migrated to CrashPlan for Small Business, due to technical platform constraints.

If one of your computers has more than 5 TB of data backed up to CrashPlan Central, that computer's cloud backup is permanently lost when you migrate. That computer starts a new backup when you migrate your account to CrashPlan for Small Business. Local backups on that same computer are not affected.

Where does it say that? Per https://www.crashplan.com/en-us/business/ it says "Unlimited Storage... No storage size limits, bandwidth caps or file-type restrictions".

All this is really doing is making it so you can't have unlimited devices for free. I have a single linux box that acts as a central file store. My family can access it from pretty much any device in the house and I have a single crashplan instance on that linux box to backup to the cloud. All I have to do is migrate my account from home to small business and then the rate goes from $100/year to $10/month.

You can get a PhD by jumping through hoops too. When I was getting mine, the grad students that did meaningful work were kept far longer than the ones who didn't. If you were good, your adviser would give you more work to do (just run one more experiment, publish in one more journal, etc). This drove a lot of the best and brightest to leave early with a Masters. If you could jump through hoops, you could get the degree with far less effort and far less contribution to the field.

Agreed.

I was very skeptical of chiropractors until I needed one. In grad school I would walk several miles to and from campus every day and somehow kept spraining the inside of my ankle. I saw multiple GPs, PT specialists, orthopedists, etc At the time grad students got free health insurance and I was referred to the PhD/MDs that were part of the med school on campus who were supposedly some of the best in their fields. I'd be fine for a week or two and then I'd be back on the crutches. Finally my wife suggested I try her chiro.

At the first visit, he figured out by watching me walk over to his exam room one leg was longer than the other by a little over an inch and I would pronate as I walked to compensate. After adjusting me, he said it would take 5 more visits. Before the fifth visit, he said I needed to get orthodics to compensate for the difference that couldn't be fixed by straightening me out. Now, unless I do something stupid that causes me not to wear my orthodics, I'm fine. I've had no more mysterious ankle sprains.

I don't know how this isn't scientific. He took measurements, formulated a plan, did adjustments that reduced pain and eliminated the swelling and inflammation without pharmaceuticals, got to the root problem, and referred me to a specialist who created custom orthodics to solve the underlying problem.

In my mind this is way better than the traditional medical approach of treating the symptoms with drugs and not really addressing the underlying problems.

I was never offered specific dietary advice other than lose a few pounds, but I was overweight from long days and eating poorly while slaving away for my PhD advisor, so that was to be expected. No crystals, no fancy sensors, no continuous treatments for the rest of my life.

Since then I have been more open to other "alternative" medical treatment. I used to have horrible insomnia... I saw sleep specialists, I was sent to a psychologist because it just had to be stress, and finally a GP told me I had reached the limits of modern pharmacology. A friend referred me to an acupuncturist. On my first visit, he said "looking at the condition of the skin, you're short on these neurotransmitters". I was skeptical so I had the levels tested and a week of supplements later I was sleeping 8 hours per night for the first time in decades.

Do I think that releasing my Chi will suddenly grant me immunity to the flu? No. Do I think my accupuncturist is an experienced specialist who thinks outside of the standard flowchart most doctors follow? Yep.

That's the key to everything. Find the experts that get real referrals. Do your homework and don't just dismiss things without it. Regardless of the field there are a lot of pretenders out there. I've seen incompetent people in a lot of areas... IT providers who can't patch a server, contractors who can't safely install anything, Doctors who miss the simple because they are trained to look at a problem through a specific lens are no different.

The first line of the article reads "iPhones might one day soon carry "Made in America" labels."

If Apple's intent was to find out what it would cost to get an official "Made in the USA" certification, then the change in COGS would not be just a minor increase in price due to only labor costs.

"For a product to be called Made in USA, or claimed to be of domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be "all or virtually all" made in the U.S." (source https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/tools-consumers/made-usa).

in this context, "All or virtually all" means that all significant parts and processing that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. That is, the product should contain no — or negligible — foreign content.

Having to comply with that could be very difficult. Apple could try to argue that the majority of the content of the iPhone is software made in the US, but at a minimum, I'd expect them to have to have some sort of qualified labeling or start to do all the molding, machining, PCB creation, PCB population, etc in the US too.

I run into this all the time... I don't have a particularly common last name, so I have @gmail.com, however, if you take the first letter off my last name, you apparently get a somewhat more common last name, so everyone with that last name whose first initial is the same as the first letter as my last name thinks that my gmail account is theirs.

I'm surprised by the number of companies that do not require validation to create an account. Most times I unsubscribe them. Some times I contact the vendor when they keep sending me stuff. Some times I just take over the accounts. It's very frustrating... I have had people try to open bank accounts with my email address. I had 3 different people buy cars using my email address this summer (and the car dealers do not remove you no matter how many times you call). My favorite one though is a woman in Nebraska who orders from Victoria's Secret once a month or so... I've contacted her and asked her if she needs to consider a diet since I've noticed her sizes are going up based on her purchase history. She wasn't too happy about it, but refuses to stop putting my email address in.

Why stop at villains?

When I was an undergrad we almost convinced an admin to let us name a new lab full of machines after Bond girls... until they realized we would be running a webserver on a machine named "PussyGalore" :)
