Unless Instagram is gone in 10 years. Does anybody go back and look at old MySpace profiles? Are they even still around? Every single one of these platforms is proprietary, and likely won't be around very long. After the bullying is done, and the service becomes uncool, the bullied kid still suffers.

On the bright side, the bully could grow up to be a really amazing person, and and maybe won't be labelled this way his whole life.
ha sure. I just meant I know the sort of operational burden cloud customers are able to outsource by not rolling their own, based on my time at the G inside resource planning and management.

Mark in the story wasn't bullying anybody. He was just recording and posting, like he always does with everything he sees. He justifies his behavior to himself by calling it a "PSA", informing people that there's a wet floor. Brian is the victim, but he is not the target. In the age of social media, children can cause terrible harm to each other without any adverse intent.

"Storonsky also responded to the Telegraph story with a blog post that denies any wrongdoing. He claimed Revolut suspended the use of “a more advanced sanctions screening system” and instead reverted to a previous one."

haha they stopped flagging "certain" suspicious financial activity for a period of time. Its a well known fact that russian politicians and oligarchs launder their money through European banks... How "convenient" that they stopped flagging certain transactions..

Did his Dad or his Dad's buddies have to funnel some money through Europe?
The fact they sell and promote that garbage is far more telling of their corporate values than avoiding HFCS, IMHO.
The full moon under the best possible conditions can reach about 0.3 lux illumination.

By comparison, phone and laptop screens start around 400 lux and go up from there.
It allows a store to open where it might not have been profitable or possible. It saves you money by allowing the retailer to lower prices.

Imagine being able to open a Walmart Supercenter in the middle of, say, San Francisco(like that would ever happen but anyway). They'd never be able to afford the real estate for a traditional supercenter, but they might be able to afford a super-tower.
If he only wants to deal with one person, the other developers could report to you, and he won't need to worry about dealing with them.
Any resources on who to go to to get custom aluminum extrusion? Always assumed it was too expensive, but I was fortunately wrong!

As far as the chips go... I've had much better luck with Asian chip manufacturers -- generally about 1/3 the cost for similar parts. Most have a decent english datasheet. LCSC is a good place to find them.
> so they can pass the bag onto retail investors long enough to cash out

I used to say this too, when companies sold stock to the public at outrageous valuations.

I thought it was insane to be the retail "dumb money" left holding the bag on companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Twitter and Snap.

So will Lyft and Uber be more like Snap or the others on this list?
What do you mean, I didn't answer your question? I am volunteering, yes. I literally already do this. I would tell them to vote for me. I am very aware of what being on a HOA requires because I already do it and yes I think it is not that hard. So to be clear: ME.

(I might use magical technology like mailboxes to facilitate asynchronous communication if I didn't already have access to the email address of every homeowner, which as a member of the HOA you should have)
No one did Arabic? ok I'll write it in Latin characters for y'all:

One Dog : Kalb, Two Dogs : Kalban, Three to 100 dogs : Thalathat Kelab, Dogs : Kelab .. 100 and more it reverts to singular so it's <Number> Kalb.

I guess in Hebrew it'd be very similar as well but I don't speak it.
ha yeah good point. tough to give anyone access to bank/transaction info. interesting that paying someone else money and then giving them access to your bank statements would make you feel better!
I have to admit I was never a fan of Bill Gates when he was heading Microsoft.

But he's turning out to be an ideal billionaire. I think he's really making a difference.

As if Google or Amazon isn't using contractors for some of their stuff as well?
ah I regret this comment lol
I'm saying have items for display to allow for browsing. You don't need shelf space for 24 boxes of cereal - you keep them upstairs. The aisles can be narrower(no carts, shallower shelves) and you still have the experience of browsing and getting people to make impulse decisions. It's like a hybrid between browsing Amazon and being in a real store.
Out of curiosity, what period of time were you at Lyft?
I understand there's real economics in the background, and plenty of earnest & legitimate economists. But sometimes when I read the pundits, I can't help but hear Jack D. Ripper in my head.

A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love... Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I — I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence.

(Dr. Strangelove)

I realize the above has nothing to do with economics, but it strikes me as the same mystical thinking, specific-yet-vague phrases, and reverence. Exaggerated, yes, but it's satire.
This site looks nice but a question and couple suggestions for you.

Question: why not include a "high compensation"/"high equity"/"top of market comp"/etc category? Talk about culture and values is nice but as far as I'm concerned the best way for companies to show they care about engineers is to put their money where their mouth is. There's surely a subset of engineers and companies that agree with me on this. It would be useful for matching.

Suggestions: if you're not doing this already, you should limit the number of categories a company or user can select. (And if you are doing this, you should make it clear on the site.) This will help get more meaningful results. Some of the current categories are meaningless - ie. "Impressive team members" ... what company would not claim this? It's only meaningful if you restrict them to, say, 5 categories. Either do this or just eliminate these categories and keep it on pure culture traits like "eats lunch together."
The Longest Keyword Sequence in JavaScript
Last time I went to WF I went just for cold medicine (OTC robitussin, etc) they didn't have anything but more "natural" options. It was probably a year ago. Color me dumb, I usually shop at HEB but the WF was on the way. That really surprised me. Pretty sure I left empty handed.
I don't believe that "coding" is a single axis of quality, either. I'm now better at some types, and worse at others.

When I was young, I was much better at reading or writing complex functions that worked correctly. As I get older, I'm much less able to, but I also wouldn't want to even if I could.

I don't think that's just sour grapes. I don't want to inflict complex code on my coworkers, either. And there's many times (when I'm tired, when I'm fixing an emergency bug, etc) that I'm not at 100% mental capacity and I value not having to work right at my brain's complexity limit.

16 year old me would probably not have believed that.
American Vandal Season 2 digs into this topic a bit. I'm sometimes caught off guard by how deep that show goes in such a comical manner.
>cameras replacing the less aerodynamic rear view mirrors.

I imagine the reduction in drag by removing the mirrors and adding complexity, cost and failure points will give you 50ft of extra autonomy.
I welcome Amazon's attempt to bring changes to the existing grocery store market. Maybe they'll figure something out, or maybe they'll fail. Either way, I'm happy to have more options as a consumer.
My mom got me a Philips wakeup light about ten years ago. If you accidentally turn it on full when your eyes are adjusted to darkness, it's like being in the shade and suddenly getting a big mirror of sunlight beamed into your eyes. (Note that it's obviously not an issue during normal use; the brightness is the whole point and works as intended to simulate light levels of sunup in an otherwise unlit room.) I don't know any other light that gets that bright, so to sibling comments that recommend regular lights, that's definitely not what GP is asking ("lots of these bulbs is they aren't very bright" and that's already talking about wakeup lights, not just any lights).

For me personally, it made it easier to get out of bed, but it didn't make me feel more awake. It lessened the struggle, but I (not a blind test or hard data) feel like it sometimes made me feel less awake all morning. This made me pay more attention to sleeping multiples of 1.5 hours instead of just any amount, which helped a bit, and which I still do today (conversely, I haven't used the light in years, though I was recently thinking about it again).

Overall, I would recommend to try it, but it was pretty expensive so having 14 days (as one does when buying online in the EU) to return it and get your money back is recommendable as well.

Edit: this looks like a second iteration of the model I had: https://ic.tweakimg.net/ext/i/1289910640.jpeg
Seems like I was looking for CLPQR with logical constraints, which doesn't seem to exist.
Or they can just move all their money out of the country. An estimated 200 billion in capital left France when it instituted it's wealth tax.

And if you try to tax billionaires on wealth stored abroad, they'll just move to New Zealand. Do you really think billionaires are going choose to stay in the US and loose huge portions of their net worth instead of just leaving the country?

This is the problem with extreme forms of taxation. They really only work when a country does things like restrict travel out of the country. And if someone's policies is contingent on restricting certain classes of people it is going to raise some ethical questions.
Huh? What phone manufacturer are you worried about going out of business?
It already does, there are a couple hack fixes for Safari that force GPU rendering when it otherwise wouldn't.
Those aisles along with clothing are really the most useless ones in the stores I've been to. Can't imagine people really buy that stuff.

Amazon has a big opportunity there as well. They've just started their vitamin Solimo brand which is actually decent, and private-labelling generic drugs is just easy money for most retailers.
The only real way to get fired without cause in the U.K. on a proper employment contract basically staff reduction.
This honestly sounds like a company specific problem more than a datacenter issue.
> not worrying about a questionable history (I’ve seen cars seriously damaged by driving habits in hundreds of miles of driving by abuse)

This is especially true with sports cars.

At one point I was considering buying a Nissan GT-R. I could get a brand new one for $120K, or a 5 year old one with 35k miles for a hair under $70k. You'd think the used one is a no brainer! But we're talking a car with ~550 horsepower, something someone could quite likely have been taking to a race track on a regular basis, putting untold amounts of wear on the engine and drive train.

I admit $50k is a lot to pay for peace of mind, but when you're like me and own a car until it dies, I like to know how it's been treated, and being the only owner is the only way to know that.

I’m using musl to cross-compile static Windows binaries from Mac for my app [0]. Here’s the instructions I use for it: https://blog.filippo.io/easy-windows-and-linux-cross-compile...

I’ve been using this in real world production builds and I’ve had no issues so far, I compile SQLite with it as it’s my main C dependency. No slowdowns, nothing weird happening, it just works like a champ. Very impressive.

Maybe you're right about raising that age.

A 13 year old could probably drive a car around town safely. Kids are capable of racing karts at high speeds and riding off road on dirt bikes. They are more than physically capable of operating a vehicle.

We don't give them a driver's licenses, because we don't think they responsible enough. If they're not responsible enough to do something as simple as drive a car without crashing, maybe we shouldn't trust them to build vast social networks without parental oversight.

The problem though, so many parents just turn on their own phones, so it would be another box to check on the sign-up form that gets ignored like a EULA.

No. They pull a knife on you now, while their friend films it and posts the video online of you crying afterwards.
After hearing enough of those kinds of stories, middle schools in America just sounds like a really scary place to be. Growing up in China in the 90s, I don't remember being scared all the time for being socially excluded and bullied despite being a computer nerd.

After moving to US as adult, one thing I found really challenging is navigating social environments. It is not until I started viewing it through lenses of Hollywood school dramas, some of the social dynamics start to make sense. I am amazed how stark the contrast is between being perceived as "popular" as opposed to a nerd.
Yes. They only got the EU banking license in December. It will take at least 1-2 years before they become a bank. They will start in Estonia and then passport their banking license to other countries, eventually to UK, too. For now they are still using LLoyds bank account to hold all customer money in UK and are electronic money institution.
I think this is what culture shock feels like. I truly struggle to imagine a people for whom being relieved of the great burden of pushing a grocery cart is actually a significant pro. Do these people even cook food?

Wrt 3 & 4, when you've practically got two whole stores, one with stocked product and one with QR codes, you're not saving space or stock management. (You're not going to go straight from shipping boxes to customer's hands)
The thing here is, there is no joke. There is no associated story or explanation necessary for appreciating the artwork. The artwork contains the whole of what the artist intends to deliver.

We've got this weird situation where people can't just look with their eyes and hear with their ears. For them it's all about thinking. They want something to think about. They want a story/joke/explanation. For them the action is all in their head.
For me, I don't need the sun on my face for it to be easier to get out of bed, outside light works just fine if there is any.

I'm also not sure how many days it would take for my body to adjust to direct sunlight and sleep through it using blankets as blockers.
We basically just looked on Alibaba for factories that could do all the metal work that we needed, sent them a quotation package, set up a tour, confirmed their ISO:9001, negotiated terms, and were off to the races. If you have a CM where everything is received for final delivery it helps as they can do your IQC so your metal supplier accountability is baked in. At least thats what has worked for us.
SQLite is an alternative to fopen not a full blown DB...

And it’s performance and reliability are a huge part of why it runs on millions of devices everywhere.

Your browser was never going to embed a build of PostgreSQL and Docker.

Enabling WAL can hardly be called config, it’s a one liner in every driver I’ve ever seen.

It’s like saying specifying the file directory SQLite uses is config.
