Strongly Agree with Andy in that interview.

In U.S , one way or another everything is running in the cloud.

For Europe ? It’s more complicated , most large businesses still have their own datacenters or run using dedicated machine with European hosting (OVH).

I’ve worked for many differents banks and they barely use the cloud compared to startups like N26 or Revolut.

Same thing for Industries or Health Services they largely run « On Premise » compared to U.S equivalent.

There is still room for growth from Europe if they manage to convince leaders of large corporations that the cloud will not take the their sovereignty away from them .
Their gross margin is over 20% according to their public reports and their networking margin is about 90% according to the AWS network engineer I talked to last year so I think they could afford it.
I live near a nuke plant. It pollutes about as much as my BBQ grill. It's quiet, the birds like it, and the fishing in the adjacent lake is excellent. Some people don't like its shape but I'm used to it and the steam rising is kind of charming.

>Regardless, under either analysis "will" would have just as much claim to being a tense as "run" has to being a verb.

If you're punning on "tense" to refer to a lexical category, then sure. But we're talking about tense in the sense of past, present and future. In many textbook analyses, lots of things go in T. For example, "can" and "might" go in T. It doesn't follow that, say, "I might go to the store" and "I can go to the store" have a different tense.

Part of w3fools bad reputation stems from the fact the site is (or at least was) full of errors - especially their SQL part.
How many of these items are not also available in a standard Linux configuration?
Not to mention how they swept quarterly GDP growth under the rug. GDPnow was expecting 1.8, and it instead was 2.6.

I think that would be more valid if paid versions could actually be relied upon to not track or advertise as opposed to being complete greedy morons who think "People willing to pay to not be advertised to? That must be a valueable target to market to!". I seriously wish that was just a strawman.

As long as "merchants" have the option of claiming both it undermines the idea of paying as an alternative which also undermines the paid plus data option. To use a crude but apt simile paying for an escort is paying for silence and discretion - that is why they are more expensive. (Regardless of client and worker sex and/or gender.)

Piracy was a decent demonstration of the hard facts of the (illicit) market - all of the draconian enforcement and DRM didn't make a dent in demand but improved distribution and fairer prices did. Just like how most people don't change their own oil from it being a hassle iTunes and Steam did more to reduce illegal downloads than any enforcement efforts.

"They are telling this of Lord Beaverbrook and a visiting Yankee actress. In a game of hypothetical questions, Beaverbrook asked the lady: ‘Would you live with a stranger if he paid you one million pounds?’ She said she would. ‘And if be paid you five pounds?’ The irate lady fumed: ‘Five pounds. What do you think I am?’ Beaverbrook replied: ‘We’ve already established that. Now we are trying to determine the degree."
I am of the opposite experience. I find the w3schools site to be so terribly out of date, with such terrible approach to learning and documentation I found it did me more harm than good.

If you actually read the docs on MDN, you can write stuff that actually work instead of copying random snippets of code until it does what you want to do.
> Money laundering in traditional banking?!?! I thought that only happened in cryptocurrency!

From my reading there was no evidence of any money laundering having taken place. But yes money laundering has habitually happened in the traditional banking system. Personally I think the banks get a lot more flack than is warranted. There have been some really obvious cases but criminals are generally are usually one step ahead of any measures prevention measures. And as a retail client provided I'm not losing my money I don't mind what other clients they have on their books. If regulators do than they're free to punish any offending banks as they see fit.
Stoicism isn’t about passive acceptance necessarily. When the barbarian hordes attacked, Marcus didn’t just shrug and stay home. I see it more as an opponent to the prevailing philosophy that anything can be overcome if you just work hard and struggle enough.
The models / software created for one language mostly fit others. Eg. Two-level finite state morphology was invented for Finnish and was very successfully adopted to parse Turkish words.

So the opinions of Linguists aside, the languages that make up the ural-altaic family are not that far apart from each other.

The Fukushima disaster almost got to the point where they had to evacuate Tokyo.

I support nuclear power, but to say that it is without risks and the public is just irrational is disingenuous.
That doesn't seem high enough to justify halving prices unless it significantly increases revenue, which is pretty unlikely at this point.
W3Schools has been turning-up in my web searches for probably as long as it has existed [1] and I can't remember it ever occurring to me that it was affiliated with the w3c. Maybe this really was a concern to w3c but I seriously doubt many other people were mislead.

[1] Just checked. Twenty years!
They get ID sufficient to prove the identify of the person opening the account and for banks to report suspicious deposits. Every account I've opened in the last two decades has scanned or made a copy of my ID and required my social security number. The US is my only experience with opening bank accounts though. I'm pretty sure it is required to provide ID to open a traditional bank account.

Can't port be used to mean both changing platforms or languages?

You have a project. You want to change one thing about it, and as little else as possible. If you're porting to platforms maybe that's pretty easy these days, porting to languages is harder and you'll have to make more incidental changes along the way.
Has your local currency been so awful at storing value that it lost more than 75% of its value in a little over a year?

In Venezuela you’re probably better offer with Bitcoin. If you live in a developed free market economy then probably not.
That's not going to happen. This schadenfreude is sad and hard to understand. You're comparing companies that were criminal enterprises that produced no value to a real company that has millions of happy and real customers. Their app has a 4.9 rating on the app store...
Bitcoin is terrible for storing value.
Why would you 'store value' in something that's so new and volatile? If you want something impractical that serves to store value, buy Gold.

As someone who is new to all of this, I like W3 schools as a complement as well. I like the MDN but a lot of it goes over my head. W3schools does a good job of breaking some stuff down and can be easier to read. But at the same time I find the MDN much more resourceful when I'm trying to get down to the nitty-gritty.

Here's a few ideas to start a video heavy app on a budget:

You could store files in a Backblaze B2 bucket and serve them via Cloudflare with zero bandwidth fees. Or try DigitalOcean's Spaces offering with their built-in CDN at $0.01/GB for bandwidth.

Hardware video encoding could be done using cheap Hetzner servers that include GTX 1080 GPU's (lookup NVENC) or try Intel Quick Sync encoding (perhaps using OVH's overclocked i7-7700K CPU's).

I'm not sure that your side note is a good example.

If you owned shares in the American Can Company, you would have then owned shares in Primerica and would now own shares in Citigroup which was only bumped out of the DJIA in 2009.

Several of the mining companies were bought out.

The Texas Company is Texaco.

United States Rubber Company became Uniroyal and was bought out by Michelin and Continental.

Sure, some like Studebaker and some of the locomotive companies collapsed and would have been a total loss, but it's entirely likely that holding all of those original companies would have made you a whole lot of money.

> avoiding suffering is not living to the fullest.

But that's just it, buddhism does not advocate avoidance of suffering[1] at all.

The buddhist 'path' is about using suffering as a raw material and transforming it.

You can't be a buddhist without experiencing suffering, because you need to work with it.

> Buddhism works well in situations for which it was designed by Siddhartha - enduring your crappy slave existence.

Siddhartha was an indian prince who gave up that life to investigate suffering.

He realized early that he would have suffered whether he stayed in the palace or not.

Buddhism is not about enduring, it is about transforming.

[1] Suffering as might be translated today as 'stress'.
obvious sarcasm, people.
I’ve got a friend who would act something like the parent comment: if a taxi guy diverges from the most efficient route, the friend would ask the driver why did that happen immediately.

The truth is that I know that if I were in a situation like that as a drver, it would not take me much to lie to my friend if I needed to (whether I am taking advantage of him or it just happened this way). There are just too many variables for anyone to be able to call bullshit on all of them at once.

Some people just like feeling in control. They just can’t admit they are not more often than not.

The killer feature for both Monzo and Revolut, is that when you use the card to pay for something, the app notifies you immediately. Sometimes it's fast enough that you have confirmation of the transaction before the merchant does.

_edit_ I didn't mean to imply that this was _unique_ to only Monzo and Revolut worldwide. But it is unusual in the UK - it is it is something that regular UK Big banks don't do, or are rushing to catch up with now.

They would not. When I was a teen, my parents had a joint income of just about $100k (definitely not low-income). When I began working, I got their hand-me-down '97 Accord. Bought for $3000 in '04, the car lasted 8 years before we sold it for $1500.

Great value for money, and it had a relatively classic look that belied its price. That's the kind of car I intend to buy again in the future.

Bitcoin has the same sort of issues that plague Linux Desktop and why Linux never took off as the defacto standard for PC OS.

It’s the lack of user focus. Setting up a bitcoin account, understanding the security implications, hardware wallet, secret keys, the whole enchilada is too big for an average consumer to digest.

Somewhere in Jobs’ biography by Walter Isaacson, there is a snippet about how products often fail when they’re designed by geeks, engineers and technology people - they make products to sell to customers that are like themselves. I’m an engineer myself and I also think the contrary is also true - products and services developed by “MBA” kinds often fail because the people in charge of the company roadmap have no fucking clue about the technical details and trade-offs of the product.

Bitcoin transaction process is designed for the most part for the nerds, not for the average Joe. I know there exists Coinbase and other “easy” setups for Bitcoin. But I’m talking about what happens when an average joe Googles “How to setup a bitcoin account”. Instant “nope” - I don’t have time for this shit and my personal money is at stake if I mess this up.
Most of the Tesla 'dealerships' I have seen simply don't have the real estate of normal dealerships. There's no way they can rollout a consumer car to their present locations.

However, it appears they're doing all sales online? Smells like a last-ditch effort to cut operational costs. It's one thing to consider buying a $35k online sight-unseen (I never would), but are people going to shell out $80k+ for the luxury models? I just don't see how they will. Sitting in and driving a car is the most important aspect of buying one, IMO.
Is it not possible that this person just disagreed with your logic, conclusion, or both, and did not want to comment? I find this to be a quite cynical and paranoid take on being downvoted in this case.

That's the latest line since transaction costs of bitcoin have become out of this world. But it's more volatile than any non tin-pot dictatorship currency. It's vulnerable to hacking, hardware failure, or fraud by exchanges. I swear every 2 weeks a hear about another $100 million vanishing.

How is this not just an utterly useless technology for anything except illegal transactions?
Many years ago, when w3schools was truly terrible, a bunch of prominent developers created https://www.w3fools.com to promote MDN. Nowadays, that site reads

Today, W3Schools has largely resolved these issues and addressed the majority of the undersigned developers' concerns. For many beginners, W3Schools has structured tutorials and playgrounds that offer a decent learning experience. Do keep in mind: a more complete education will certainly include MDN and other reputable resources.
It's about time we admit the emperor has no clothes. BTC/ETH/XYY/123 can store value (I don't care to get into the fluctuations right now) and moving it around can be a lot easier than outdated systems like ACH but they are terrible for paying for things. Maybe something like the lightning network or similar will be able to solve part of that but accepting BTC has always been more of a fad/PR-move than an actual business decision.

Unless you are running in the gray/dark web (Silk Road-type, Torrent/nzb trackers, seedboxes, etc) your customers are not going to jump through the hoops required to spend BTC.
Would really love to hear people’s perspectives and experiences with this.
I think that's a biased take. Ultimately you can't have concessions without enough economy to support it in the first place, so it cuts both ways. There's plenty of glamor stories about certain startup's having shitty work cultures, but in general a startup is a riskier place to work in the first place. That having a shitty work culture would attract employee's from safer, (culturally) better jobs seems unlikely (and contradicts my personal experience, at least).

Yeah I certainly flow from one to the other a lot.

w3schools reminds me of Simple English Wikipedia. It provides fast, accessible answers.

I hate this "argument". I am running Ubuntu myself for half a year now but there is no chance to get Adobe Creative Suite/Cloud to run smoothly on Ubuntu. You will absolutely need macOS or Windows for that.
