166,155 | null | null | I'm fully okay with that when the goal is throwing commodity infrastructure at a problem. I still use AWS for most things; the point of DO, for me, is that for "worker"-based tasks, I can do a lot more with 8 $5/mo DO droplets than with one $40/mo on-demand EC2 instance (esp. regarding network-IO-bound tasks.)<p>I don't need my infrastructure to live in DO; I just need my, well, <i>elastic compute</i> to happen there. Oddly enough, DO is better than EC2 at being an Elastic Compute Cloud. (EC2's advantage, meanwhile, lies in how configurable it is for the <i>non-</i>elastic parts of your workload. It's great for being the host for the infrastructure components that form the "skeleton" of a service, with known work-pool sizes; it's not-so-great for just being a cheap place to offload a bunch of work.) | null | derefr | null | 1,454,548,261 | "2016-02-04T01:11:01Z" | comment | 11,031,283 | 11,031,214 | null | null | null |

166,159 | null | null | Fair enough. And I was just waking up, and probably -- certainly -- a bit curt. But... I hesitate when I see grammatical mistakes, whatever the site design may be.<p>There is a subset of sites/designs that put great emphasis into a graphical appearance, but do not write well.<p>In this specific case, you want to use "than" rather than "then". "Than" is a comparison. "Then" denotes a sequence or position in time. :-)<p>P.S. I guess I should add that "native" does not work here as a noun. In the context you are using, it would be an adjective -- a modifier. "English isn't my native language." That would work.<p>"Native" as a noun is used to identify an indigenous person. I believe this latter use is mostly considered a bit dated or "politically incorrect", these days, as it has historically often expressed or implied a hierarchical relationship and a negative judgment of the indigenous culture. | null | pasbesoin | null | 1,292,782,494 | "2010-12-19T18:14:54Z" | comment | 2,022,145 | 2,021,969 | null | null | null |

166,161 | null | null | Nice idea!<p>You might want to make emojize a template which could handle string, wstring, string_view, etc.<p>A fun extension would be to add a flag to istream and ostream that told it to emojify/demojify output.

std::cin >> emojicpp::demojify >> some_string;

Your stream inserter/extractors could be template functions that take references to constant string-like objects -- then you wouldn't have to copy the string and could just output the appropriate data (though you'd need a lookahead buffer for stuff like these:characters). | null | gumby | null | 1,540,331,460 | "2018-10-23T21:51:00Z" | comment | 18,287,840 | 18,281,473 | null | null | null |

166,169 | null | null | This may not be the most popular thing to say, but ... Just move?<p>If you are the head of a large household living in an area where the cost of living is too high to support your dependents, you would do a whole lot of good for them and yourself by starting new in some other part of the country. At the very least it would be wise to relocate across the Bay.<p>I realize that people have families, social networks, and small-scale culture that they don't want to separate from. It's a sad reality, but sometimes the economic forces that re-balance labor markets require people to physically relocate. If your labor is not as valuable in a particular geographic region, it's time to retrain or move. For most people retraining is not an option...<p>My sentiment is not classist or elitist. The same argument applies to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. I have personally relocated for financial reasons three times in my life. I moved away from home for college, I moved to a new location for my first job, then I recently relocated to the Bay Area because this was the optimal place for me to be economically. I did all this with very little money saved up and with no financial support outside my paycheck. It has been easier for me to keep in touch with my family than it would be for these people (I make enough to travel to visit family several times a year). However, I have made sacrifices and relocated for my personal financial well-being. If I had a family to look after, I would have (and arguably ought to have) sacrificed even more.<p>EDIT: That being said, I fully support relaxing regulation on the construction of new housing. It would be better if people didn't have to move, but I believe that even with optimal housing growth there would not be enough real estate to comfortably house the current lower-middle class population of SV. | null | mgraczyk | null | 1,426,100,933 | "2015-03-11T19:08:53Z" | comment | 9,186,168 | 9,185,732 | null | null | null |

The results so far are quite amazing.<p>It's this human bias against modifying our world (similar to the bias against GMO's or improving IQ by tweaking genes) that has delayed geo-engineering science by decades already.

A C Corp taxed under Subchapter C creates the classic "double taxation" problem, where any profit distributions are taxed twice before hitting the founder's pocket.<p>2. A CMRA (virtual mailbox) is not a good registered agent. The "registered agent" is the place the sheriff or process server delivers a lawsuit to a real person. If your mailbox address doesn't accept hand-delivery, they'll reject service.<p>And if that happens, you may not hear about any lawsuit until the court has already ruled against you and entered a judgment. Most states say that if you don't have a place for hand-delivery, the person suing you can mail it to the Secretary of State, who then mails it to your last known address. You rarely get the suit in time to answer.<p>You can find registered agents cheaper than $100. But don't assume your virtual mailbox is a good solution. | null | Digory | null | 1,598,458,584 | "2020-08-26T16:16:24Z" | comment | 24,283,905 | 24,282,940 | null | null | null |

I don't get the false dilemma people are creating that somehow this is complicated or that people who use the easy way are less knowledgable than others. If you make a game engine from scratch by yourself it's going to be a logical disaster, whether you've learned c++ or python. | null | qertistick | null | 1,598,458,564 | "2020-08-26T16:16:04Z" | comment | 24,283,900 | 24,282,378 | null | null | null |
166,245 | null | null | Your idea doesn't seem to be thought through -- who ensures the insurance companies are solvent enough to pay out? How do you deal with irreversible damage? Why invest a ton of energy into figuring out the right risk calculations for shoddy work rather than say, "This passes the threshold of really unsafe, don't do it". It's so much simpler, cheaper, and easier to understand to just draw a few lines in the sand.<p>No amount of compensation can bring someone back if they've been lost to a fire, a deck collapse, a sinkhole, an electrical issue, etc.<p>The use of lead paint causes irreversible damage to nervous tissue, and lead contamination can lie undetected in soils for years after a property removes all the lead from the buildings.<p>Why would we want to invest a massive amount of effort into figuring out, e.g., the actual insurance risk of poorly built structures rather than saying, "No, you cannot use highly flammable plastic cladding on your highrise."<p>Especially if insurance companies can go bankrupt or refuse to pay out. How do victims get made well if the insurance company refuses to pay on some technicality? The last thing I want to deal with is more insurance companies. | null | Pfhreak | null | 1,598,458,567 | "2020-08-26T16:16:07Z" | comment | 24,283,901 | 24,283,731 | null | null | null |

166,252 | null | null | > There's plenty wrong with Ethereum, but casting miners as 'the working class' is a flawed analogy.<p>Agreed.<p>Marx's working class consists of those who do not own means of production, and are therefore compelled to sell their labour.<p>Miners do not lack means of production; they operate expensive mining machinery. That machinery continues to run, and earn money for the miner, even while the miner sits on the beach. Selling their labour really isn't a good model for what's going on. Miners are just ordinary capitalists, exploiting a market opportunity. | null | denton-scratch | null | 1,628,665,825 | "2021-08-11T07:10:25Z" | comment | 28,138,988 | 28,138,914 | null | null | null |
