Well, I have been using Paypal gateway for the last 2 - 3 years and never faced any issue.

Especially in India, the process of making foreign payments is very lengthy and if I make payment through credit card, their charges are very high.

I find paypal is a much better option for both buyers and sellers.

Thanks..

If that’s true for you then you’re either a freelancer, not a consultant, or you’re not charging enough/not in enough demand that they’re willing to work with you one on one.

Nick Disabato has one employee and charges $15,000 and up a quarter for Draft Revise. Do you think he goes through a preferred supplier list? By the same token, when patio11 was a one man consulting firm charging $10-30K for a week’s onsite consulting you think he went though a recruiter?

How to Secure Your Linux Server in 7 Easy Steps
Robotics Companies to Follow in 2019
I think OP's rationalizing poor state of Linux debuggers.

Making good GUI is hard, and goes against terminal-centric Linux culture. Debugger needs IDE integration, and integration again goes against the culture, see "doing one job well" mantra.

When I program for Linux, I don't like debuggers either. Using gdb sometimes but it's not too useful.

When I program for Windows, visual studio debugger is awesome.

There are pirates who are in it to make money, and pirates who are in it to get the art itself.

I am definitely not an expert in CPU architecture, but I'll give it a shot.

Generally I would say the main differences are: the whole RISC vs CISC argument, how future extensions work and how complicated decoding/encoding instructions is.

I'm not going to go into RISC vs CISC as that has been constantly fought over and I am not qualified to have a substantiated position.

The extension system for RISC-V is the biggest area where I think RISC-V excels. There is a very simple base instruction set which has things like loads/stores, addition, and branches. Then more complicated instructions such as multiplication, floating point, atomics, etc are all extensions which have a well defined structure and there is dedicated room for more standard extensions and custom ones.

The technical advantage of this is that really cheap CPUs can support a tiny fraction of what big ones do, but still fit into the same mold as the big ones. Any custom instructions for a specific product can just be a custom instruction. Additionally, if an extension becomes useless in the future, just don't include it in future chips.

If this has caught your attention, check out the specification [0].

IIRC, the decoding and encoding of RISC-V is dramatically simpler than x86 and ARM as it has only a normal 32 instruction format, a compressed 16 bit one and a large one (I think 128 bit). Importantly the non-default sizes are optional. MIPS has a simpler format, but takes slightly more silicon to decode (because its more human readable).

I don't know any good references off the top of my head though, but I suspect searching for risc-v on HN is probably a good bet to find discussion of pros and cons.

Food, fat, spice marks and stains everywhere.
What Americans call 'the free market' is a system where there are few restrictions on what a person can buy or sell. It extends to their political system, where politicans sell policies in return for campaign contributions.
I've build a job board for product management vacancies in London. It's basically a collection of available roles but structured in a way it makes sense for product people. Other sites often struggle to fit Product roles in traditional categories like Marketing or Development, and are therefore often a pain to find.

I think this is accurate. Few businesses have the slack required to hire a speculative research division to delight and surprise the business with new capabilities :)

More typically DS will optimise . I think engagement bandits, recommendation systems and such are all examples of optimising rather than driving new capability , and to agree with you, generalist vs specialist is a straw man in this instance.

After all someone at some point is going to make a business case for a DS team member and the vast majority of businesses don’t have the luxury of doing anything other than focusing on growth.
I'll put my money on an actual tech company coordinating with banks rather than a bank itself for the mere fact that a tech company most likely will know it better and attempt to do it more securely than outsource consultants to put it together for me.

> "The American lifestyle/diet and healthcare costs are two separate issues that both desperately need to be solved."

I see it (much) differently. Healthcare, is just like everything else. That is, Supply & Demand applies.

Furthermore, the providers can also use "price what the market will bear." Consumers have no choice. Well, they do, but they choose food + lifestyle that makes them ill.

Remove __unnecessary__ (read: preventable) demand and prices will have only one way to go. That is, down. The cost of procedures will fall. Insurance premiums will fall, because they're paying out less.

My point is, we can't keep living such unhealthy lifestyles and keep blaming the healthcare system. That's deceptive and naive.

< sidebar >

Supply & Demand was one of the dirty secrets of the ACA. More people were jammed into the system, but supply was not increased. Sure, in theory these new consumers were said to be younger and healthier. None the less, even if they used the system 25% as much, that was still an increase in demand (and none in supply).

In theory it was "easy money" for the insurance companies, but it did not address S&D. That is, the ACA, to some extend, robbed Peter to pay Paul.

Prices continue to climb, as does the obesity rate, etc.

My 2 cents running your app in China:

* make it as decoupled as possible from your core infra. What you spare on infra costs caused by redundancy, you will spend in maintenance time, outage mitigation, etc.

* no synchronous call going out of China mainland, otherwise you become dependent of the Great Firewall and that is not something you want

* expect lower quality of documentation and support

I hope raytracing will enable some remasters of amazing old games. No need for new content, changing the stories or gameplay, just vastly improved graphics. I always preferred the Quake series for multiplayer, but Half-Life was great single player. Max Payne would be a great replay with better graphics. Some old flight sims like Jane's WWII Fighters, X-Wing v Tie Fighter, Wing Commander... I'd pay cash monies for this.
The movie had an interesting idea (presumably stolen from any number of old sci-fi novels), but unfortunately turned it to a generic "the rich hoard all the money, we should redistribute it to the masses!" action flick.

Slim: OS Kernel Support for a Low-Overhead Container Overlay Network
The terms "fake 3D" and "2.5D" in reference to Doom and similar games has nothing to do with sprite based mobs, it's about not having a truly 3D map. Doom's maps were drawn in 2D top-down with a height variable for any wall or platform. You couldn't have one room above another, which is why elevators in the game were solid (you couldn't stand under the floor). The various level editors for Doom based games looked like primitive 2D CAD programs.

Quake was a whole new paradigm, it was based on a true 3D engine and its maps were generated in three dimensions. You could stand under stairs, under the room above, and underneath lifts.

Because that's how it is here in Austria. The deduction for social security is significant, but health care is only a small fraction of it.

A few years ago I worked with a 14 year old on work experience. He had some impressive sounding personal projects on the go, and after a few months throughout the years of working for us, we gave him a job at 16, which he accepted.

He got pretty good in a certain niche, and over time he built up legitimate experience - good enough to land senior developer roles in this market, and to be well-known to other developers in these circles.

The problem, for him, came when he decided that he wanted to try something new. Suddenly, his 7-8 years of real-world experience didn't matter for much, and he was struggling to get roles ahead of fresh graduates, because he didn't have a degree, but mostly because his experience was around this one language and one CMS. He'd hit a ceiling in this role, and couldn't really find a way out.

He's earned some solid money, but since leaving his current role he's struggled to find any meaningful work outside of what he's good at - WordPress builds, and now that he wants to do something different he's struggled to find work. He's still young enough to not be classed as a mature student, so he's going back to college and then onto uni part-time while he does contract work.

In your case it might make sense to take the job now instead of building up a ton of student debt to get that job in a few years time, but jobs don't last forever. This job might be amazing, but you might face redundancies, or find yourself isolated from your friends/peers, or find what my friend discovered - he doesn't really enjoy what he's doing.

I have a cousin 2 years younger than me who's getting out of prison today.

He just finished a 2 year stint for violating probation. When you get caught drunk driving with a gun in the car, then tend to send you back behind bars. In reality, he had two other offenses in the time before that, which should have been enough.

His first sentence was 7 years for theft. He was part of a group of ~ 20 year olds that were breaking into garages and stealing tools, etc to sell for money.

He got in trouble as a teen and went to one of those youth harbor camps, that didnt' seem to help him. When he was released from prison the first time, he got a decent paying job at the local auto plant (we're a blue collar town) and he threw that all away. He would rather do whatever the heck he wants which usually means hanging out at the bars and drinking and selling a little bit of drugs and getting into fights.

The system can't fix him until he wants to be fixed. If he's out here he's just breaking laws and fathering more children (that the state gets to support as well). I'm perfectly okay with him being locked up until he decides he's had enough and wants to straighten out.

I just hope if he ever decides that, he's not doing 10-20 years at that time. Once you're in, you're in.

Yes and no. Nothing is more personal than what you put in your mouth. It's not just to blame others for those decision(s) / action(s). Could more be done? Yup. But gov + med are not the only ones dropping the ball. How many times does a doc have to say "You've got to lose weight" before they give up, and are "forced" to write a script for meds X, Y and Z?

most people rightly oppose slavery. but confining people to cages for years at a time is pretty bad too. if it's possible to justify imprisonment in the first place, are all forms of forced labor significantly worse? what if the prisoners get training as webdevs and have to spend 6-8 hours on weekdays improving the UI of government websites. they get an aeron chair, free coffee, ping pong, etc., and when they get released they have some experience to list on their resume. kind of an absurd proposal, but hopefully it illustrates the point of my question: is it immoral to have them do literally anything to defray the cost of their imprisonment?
