Two things:

You absolutely can receive texts from other Twilio numbers. It's shortcodes you can't receive from (which is definitely a problem).

Your data would be cheaper if you set the billing mode to "individual" (and not "pooled"), which will charge you for blocks of 1GB at a time. Having said that, data will still probably not be cheaper than a normal retail cell plan.

Aside from that, another issue is lack of MMS support. Twilio Wireless is designed for IoT use cases, so general cell phone use isn't something it's optimized for.

VS proper isn’t that slow. It opens just as fast as Code does on my machine.

I think you see performance penalties in VS when you add things like Resharper.
Since Microsoft has taken over, perhaps my take might hurt people's confidence in Github in light of that news...but they really should just kill off Atom and focus on VS Code. I'd rather they focus energy on building other tools.

'Subjects from 0-17 years old were included using a primary search term for diagnosis of “ingested object” from the time period of 2002-2015. Cases of ingested
objects were classified as “suspected magnet ingestion” (SMI) if the term “magnet” appeared anywhere in the narrative section of the database. Researchers then identified specific characteristics of ingested magnets for descriptions related to rare-earth metals or small size. Specific inclusionary terms for small, round size/shape included: small, tiny, ≤1cm, battery-like, marble, bead, BB, ball, sphere, round, and circular. Inclusion terms for multiple were: multiple, > 1, or the plural “magnets.” '

This has got to have an obscenely high false positive rate.

There are a lot of inline-asm related bugs in the compiler. I'm hitting them almost daily (I'm writing a kernel, so a fair bit of asm is going on here). You can see them in the bug tracker[0].

Stabilizing inline asm in its current form would be a mistake. It's simply not ready.

What do you mean? There are different ways of thinking: logically, intuitively, empathicaly, and probably others.

So my question to you is, why do you want to think? To have better relationships? To be better in your career? To be a better musician? To some extent you’ll need logic, empathy, and intuition to succeed in life but you’ll need a lot more logic as a software engineer, and a lot more empathy to be a social worker.
Yeah anti-trust doesn't have to completely kill the company off. In fact it isn't always beneficial to do that.

Take Microsoft anti-trust/DOJ speed bumps in the 90s due to Windows, because they were slowed down slightly it allowed Google, Apple, Amazon and others to crop up to compete. I'd argue we got something out of the Microsoft monopoly (desktop + internet prevalence), something out of the first AT&T monopoly (telephone lines, software, Bell Labs, C++, modern applications) and more. When they are slowed down the competition also brings benefits in Apple + Google for mobile for instance and Google + Amazon for cloud computing. Microsoft became a competitor again and it works better for consumers and developers now.

It is definitely time to put some speed bumps on AT&T unless they want to actually increase network capabilities rather than slow them down. ISPs need to be innovative and expanding networks otherwise more competition should be added. A truly competitive ISP would not be so anti net neutrality, they would win with product improvements.

Monopolies or big fish can be beneficial, until they start limiting other competitive threats through use of their power/size rather than better products and consumer benefits. When they use their size to bring benefits they bide their time and deserve the top slot and privileged market position. When they get lazy/anti-innovative and they use their size to hold back others, then it is time to hold them back a bit to increase competition.

Fortunately, disability applications are declining soundly.

June, 2018: "Disability Applications Plunge as the Economy Strengthens"

"The number of Americans seeking Social Security disability benefits is plunging, a startling reversal of a decades-old trend that threatened the program’s solvency. It is the latest evidence of a stronger economy pulling people back into the job market or preventing workers from being sidelined in the first place."

isn’t that a property of free market capitalism that people promote?
And I imagine two huge components of the pricing floor for restaurants are property cost/rent and labour. Potatoes are dirt cheap and oil can be reused a few times, yet to buy basic fries near me at a non-franchised fast food place would be $5+. Doesn't feel like much of a race to the bottom.
As long as you're having fun, learning new things, and not missing out on a great opportunity it makes sense to stay. That being said, depending on your job market, it doesn't hurt to look around. You don't have a hard decision to make until you have another job offer on the table.
I agree with the things you've listed being morally wrong or at least grey area. A 'nice' person wouldn't necessarily do those things. eg. if Tesla's motto was 'be nice' then these things would make them hypocritical.

However, none of those things you've listed above are illegal. Corporate espionage, however, is illegal. That's the line separating what you've listed from what 'some guy' did.

The law may be an ass, but it's the law. It's up to society to care enough about 'not nice' to force the laws to be changed.

(This doesn't relate to your sympathy, but it does relate to how a business acts to maximise it's own interests within the limitations provided by the state / federal laws).

There are people who regret it. There are always people who only want roads and cars. It just depends who is in power.
I’ve never been in this position but I have a family to feed so I know I would at least have another job in my back pocket, even if I REALLY believed in the company or the team. But I wouldn’t leave just because I was the last.

clang manages with "Do whatever gcc does" I wonder why that isn't good enough. Doing nothing useful now as we might want to do something more useful later than what we can now seems a bit self defeating, but I may be missing the point because I want to us inline assembly language in unsafe blocks.
yeah, it's one of those things that is really hard to avoid as a manager. Naturally you like some people and don't like others. Maintaining objectivity and evaluating people on their performance despite your feelings about their personality is hard.

This is why good managers don't aim to be friends with the people they manage. You may end up being friends because of team camaraderie and the amount of time you spend in the same building, but deliberately choosing to socialise with some (but not all) of the team is a bad idea.

And exactly the same thing happens if there is a perceived friendship in the team. Was the employee promoted because of their skills or because they're mates with the boss? Were they not promoted because the boss didn't want to be seen to be promoting a friend? Did they get into that argument because they're a brown-nosing jerk that thinks they're untouchable because they go for beers with the boss every Friday?

I suppose the question is what sort of world do you want to live in? I had a great time with fireworks growing up in a less regulated country (Fiji), most of the time we don't even bother with Guy Fawkes here (NZ) now. Having also spent time in a few other more & less nanny state-ish countries growing up I don't think bubble wrapping children does them many favours in the long run.

FTFY
it's not about what the manager actually does. It's about the team's perception of it. He could be the best manager in the world, and have perfect separation between his emotions and his professional judgement. But the other people in the team will evaluate his decisions with the relationship in mind even if he doesn't. There will always be a question mark over his leadership decisions, even if those decisions were made for the best reasons.

Possible. Unless you’ve got a groundswell of support, it’ll be $1-2M to gather signatures and sky’s the limit on the media campaign to get it enough votes to pass.

Then you have to survive the spoiler factors. Like volunteer petitioners who abscond with the required state-printed collection forms. Or stuff like how big food convinced everyone that redesigning labels for GMO ingredients would significantly drive up the price of food in a massively successful two-day media campaign just before the election (prop 37).

Fucking RIP literally every internet store that doesn't have the ability to register for 10 thousand (literally) different fucking tax jurisdictions.
Self-employed consultant here (in New York). Not entrepreneur but in a similar hellscape. A 'top' ish plan on the individual market costs around 1K, which is tax deductible, and yes, usually offers lousy service thanks to a slim network and high deductible. And yes, health care costs are a barrier to entrepreneurship in this country. Agree 1000%.

But how can you take such extensive personal risk for 12K a year? Accidents happen, and genes might hit the hereditary crap lottery. If you're throwing money around in hopes of making it big, there's not 12K available? A terrible thing can happen and the costs can be much much higher.

I'm surprised/shocked to hear that, especially since you imply it's common. Is this California?
How to read research papers for fun and profit
Seriously? I’m going to have to follow the rules and charitably assume that you’re serious.

Rocket fuel is expensive, the process of launching and recovering the vehicle is expensive, and every kg lifted is incredibly expensive. You would also need to launch it somewhere, or you’d just be launching garbage into a decaying orbit. You might as well dispose of garbage by burning it on a pile of diamonds.
That's political. Of course it's a disorder in the sense that it causes abnormal poor performance (reproduction is harder!). Peadophilia is also still called a disorder but only if it negatively affects the person's life. It hardly matters how we classify them. Everyone has some inferiority that they might want to improve, so we could all say we have disorders. Or we could all accept everyone as just-how-they-are.
That is of course true. However, I've noticed many seem to justify any stock price being low as the market already pricing in all the information. However when you look at AAPL's valuation 1-2 years ago, shares went down to a low of around $90, which was only like 6-7 FCF or so (it's a little complicated cause you had to subtract apple's cash hoards but also multiply by some uncertainty factor < 1 that represented the probability that they would be able to bring the money back).

Meanwhile you have companies like MSFT, etc which while growing at a fast rate, are far, far more expensive on a FCF yield basis.

Ultimately - and this is pretty obvious but worth stating - you have to come up with your own valuation for a given company when making investment decisions.

>But regardless, that kind of number is a full time job. If you're selling over the internet and making a full time job out of it, you can handle computing sales tax for SD residents.

McAfee is a conman among conmen. Does anyone even have a shred of respect for any of his software products? I remember they often caused more issues and were the source of more problems than they solved.
Unless I'm totally misunderstanding this, doesn't this mean the following:

If you sell a few thousand digital goods (let's say video courses or ebooks) to people spread across 30 states in the US over the year, you will be responsible to collect sales tax and do the paperwork to pay each of those 30 states sales tax every quarter (or per year)?

When dealing with a low priced item, it's not difficult to accumulate a high number of transactions.

Not only are those fees a huge financial burden but I imagine the act of filing all of that is going to kill any motivation to do anything. For me, I'll end up either stop doing what I love (creating educational content to help other developers while making enough $ to live on) or move to a different country with a better tax system.
With these kinds of things. You have to start now.
Something I've learned from working with a lot of YC companies, is that while they certainly all want people who are "smart and motivated", they measure and define it quite differently.

It sounds like your concern is whether companies are only looking for c.s. grads from brand name schools and companies, and I can specifically vouch for that not being the case. Depending on the company, they're likely to value open source contributions, independent projects you've built that are interesting, startups you've started or worked at, impressive technical work you've done at any company, and how candidates do on their own technical interviews (which vary greatly in substance), among many other factors.
We should never be talking about earnings per dollar of market cap (PE, as you've correctly noted) - the far superior metric is fcf per dollar of market cap. (Even FCF isn't a flawless metric, since it can be affected by one-offs, but those are generally easy to account for, whereas earnings being a pure accounting metric is vulnerable to all kinds of fuckery)
This is perfect addition to a Serverless stack.

Isn't it hard to define the accuracy without knowing more about the condition?
The other comment betrays the reason: because the numbers are bogus and are artificially inflated to be high by making a query too broad (it includes marbles, BB balls, batteries, etc).

I am unaware of this trend across multiple rich countries of less public transit. Anyone have actual numbers instead of hersay?

Does something similar exist on other OSes?
Hmm, I want to be a clearer thinker if that makes sense. I have trouble articulating a lot of my thoughts, I don't write very much and so I have a lot of trouble putting my thoughts into words. I'm not very good at arguing (I argue more emotionally than rationally). I would like to be able to think more logically, take a hypothesis and see it to it's logical conclusion.
I think it's important that they examined at least the correlation between the thought-experiment answers and the actual behavior.

If there's one thing that makes me immediately suspect a study, it's when the data includes in significant part anything self-reported by the study subjects, without accompanying very strong evidence (ideally from someone else's much larger study) that such self-reporting corresponds to something more objectively measurable.
Unauthorized modification of iOS (often called "jailbreaking")
I like Atom because I can keep it a relatively dumb editor. I hate autocomplete, I hate automated code formatting usually (I do occasionally use Prettier to get legacy code cleaner) and I don't want to see my linter until I go to make a commit.

I do wish Atom was faster, especially on Windows. I do appreciate the support for ligatures in font though, and how easy it is to change editor behavior as I go.
The victory here is that Zen is not currently in active litigation, which is a huge drain on resources.

Given the overwhelming amount of data that is out there that one shouldn't restrict magnets more than military weapons, I have high hopes that an less biased commission would not advocate for a total and absolute ban.
You can't just declare bankruptcy and then be all good, you have to go through a court and a judge is going to lambast you for attempting such a thing when it is obvious you didn't even try to pay your loan. Otherwise this same thing would be a problem for other forms of loans too. Someone gets a loan, stashes it in some form that can't be retrieved by debt collectors, declares bankruptcy. The judge is going to tell you go fuck yourself because you don't even have anything to liquidate and deny your bankruptcy declaration. If you do have something to liquidate, well now you aren't any better off because you just lost all your possessions.

Plus there are criminal charges for fraud since it would be pretty obvious you took out the loan with this plan in mind.

PERSONAL ANECDOTE ALERT:
Since I've began working from home, something I've found helpful is assigning context to a physical space and moving from space to space to context switch.

For example, I browse the internet and read news on my front porch, but my office is strictly work mode. My living room is strictly a space for relaxing and entertaining guests, my kitchen/dining area is for cooking and eating. It may sound weird but if I get a phone call or have to make an email. I move to my office ( my note pads, and desktop is ready to go which is a plus )

I think the work-from-anywhere play-from-anywhere meme has been damaging to my productivity and happiness. I feel a lot less anxious and more focused.

It always struck me as odd how accepting everyone was of the inevitability and benign-ness of chickenpox. Even though we know the virus is still present after the rash, it seemed strange to me how it was assumed no less visible effects were occurring.

HPV is another which I found odd how little importance was placed on preventing its spread growing up. Even today we're still selective about the immunization of people against this virus, knowing it's responsible for most occurrences of cervical cancer.

I suspect we'll almost certainly learn something less obvious about herpes of comparable importance to HPVs role in cervical cancer.
I don't know, I'm pretty sure this leads to putting kids in bubbles - and for full disclosure, I'm a proponent of right to roam laws. How do you balance letting kids learn to manage risk in unstructured environments with banning objects and activities that might be dangerous?
