Yeah, I've found Bing to the best option when I'm in the mainland, only because all the local search are even more terrible at english.

When I need to search in Chinese, baidu is the least terrible (but still really bad). Sogou isn't too far behind, but it's index is not as fresh, in my experience.

What are the caveats of running Wine to get Windows apps?

http://go/wiki/Wine_(software)#Other_versions_of_Wine
Having been forced to dabble in the Microsoft world I have in general found documentation to, at least in some cases, be very sparse. Or maybe I've just not found the right resources?

For example, I was looking for some documentation on how to tune the CLR, and performance tips for writing C# in general. In Java there are lots of books on the topic, and I know of some blogs on the JVM internals, but for .Net all I could find was one small (selfpublished?) book. I'm not sure it would be fair for me to judge the state of the blogs and online resources, but at least I did not find what I was looking for at the time.

Similarly, I had to try some stuff with Service Fabric, and it felt more or less impossible to get it working with the publicly available documentation. I'm really not sure how they think one is supposed to learn how to use that technology.

Lastly I've been dealing with shipping and releasing natively compiled binaries for Windows etc, and here I've found online resources, but mostly unofficial ones. This whole area seems rather hairy and it feels a bit scary to rely on some random blogpost or stackoverflow answers for what (not) to do.

In general from what I've seen is that the Microsoft documentation is very much How-To focused. But there is often a lack for more comprehensive documentation like a man page, and in particular I've found it hard to get "sharp" information, like what are the exact guarantees for this thing.

Serious question: Has there EVER been a case where a fine has been truly damaging/punitive to a company? Every instance I remember seems to be of the parking ticket variety.
You seem so unsure about your own point that you immediately downplay a users concerns about spending $250 a year by reducing that number to $5. Why the need to fabricate a theoretical number when someone provided you with a specific value?

If I spend $300 dollars on a phone every 2-3 years and $40 for service a month, am I then permitted to raise concerns about spending hundreds of dollars a year for email accounts?
Donating to a particular charity address is definitely a possibility. The tradeoff is that you're requiring users to trust the people running that charity, if there's an exploit that's damaging enough to be a concern. People also figure that by reducing the supply of ETH you're increasing increasing its price, so it's more of a global compensation to ETH holders than a net loss.

However, charitable donations aren't unknown. The ENS name registry, for example, is planning to require annual rents like DNS, and contribute the money to public goods (e.g. with grants to projects improving the ecosystem).
I would guess that the choice of chat tool has almost no impact on productivity or quality.
>While there are many arguments against your proposed change, the first step seems to be establishing that the problem you’re trying to solve actually exists.

It’s clear not many here care to understand the problem, tech generally loves a good pump and dump...look at all the recent tech IPOs... how many of those were boot strapped vs VC backed? And VC backed tech IPOs were in the black?

It’s not about investor risk...its About leveling the playing field.

Again everyone here is screaming investor risk/their choice/don’t have to buy...I don’t see anyone advocating allowing small investors to get in on unicorn tech cos pre IPO. I’m not sure why everyone is pretending it’s about giving opportunity to the little guy...it’s about the need for VC to liquidate.
Okay why not, I'll take the bait.

> There are people who want to invest in ICOs, Ponzi schemes

Ponzi schemes are fraudulent operations intrinsically designed to extract money from investors by misleading them. Slack is a software company with a cogent, well-defined plan to leverage unprofitability now into significantly greater profitability later. Not only are these things meaningfully different, they're categorically incomparable.

Even if Slack ultimately fails it has a reasonable plan of action that distinguishes it from fraud. The SEC does not exist to eliminate all risk from investor portfolios, that's impossible (and suboptimal!). It exists to (among other things) ensure the risk to investor capital occurs through the normal procedure of markets instead of outright fraud. For similar reasons most ICOs (and particularly fraudulent ones) are categorically dissimilar from a tech company going public at a net loss.

> others want to rape, murder...why should anyone’s opinions be forced on these people?

I can't believe I have to say this, but the two things you described are violent acts with directly violate the rights of other human beings. I'm not sure how much else needs to be said here. We started off at people being allowed to engage in risky but fundamentally legal and mundane investments, and ended up at fraud, rape and murder. Somewhere along the way we've gotten quite lost.
That all depends entirely on whether the "fix" is white-listing the two responders somehow, or flagging the larger issue to the correct team and figuring something more general out.

i get something close to this before I get a migraine: https://images.app.goo.gl/XS938pFYT6a2Juuq7

starts as a small spot right in the "centre of vision". then it grows until I can't see anything at all.

Then vision comes back and is replaced by a headache so bad, even the tiniest movement hurts like a knife cut.

Then I sleep between 4 and 12 hours. The day after I'm something like hung over and the day after that it's like nothing happened.

Luckily, I don't get it often any more :-) But it's hard to explain to other people when it happens.

the good thing about the aura is I get a warning what's about to come, usually it means I can get home before it breaks out.

I can only remember once when the headache broke out before I got home and I started sobbing like a baby on the bus. An old lady worriedly asked me if I needed help and I don't really remember how I got home.
If I can allow myself to chime in...

I think social / cultural differences actually is not enough to differentiate European start-ups. If nothing else, there is a tremendous (deliberate?) effort to follow American standards of management and GTD. However, at the same time, Venture Capital and management overall seem to be a bit more risk averse in Europe than USA.

But thats just my opinion of what is the common denominator here in Europe.
another useless use of 'crypto'. this is better handled with traditional government registration/notary/title that kind of thing.

It is being done without crypto!

The only value crypto brings is a way to advertise 'proof' of purchase of offsets to the public, IOW for marketing purposes.

I'm strongly against tariffs, but when it comes to labor, I believe we should not allow companies to hire or contract out labor in countries which do not follow US labor laws. It's a race to the bottom otherwise, an unfair competition which hurts US workers and doesn't truly solve the problems faced by those in the other country.

I've completely lost track of politics at this point. When I think "far left" I think of things like communism, socialism, etc. Something that basically doesn't exist in American politics. Sure, we have a segment of the commentariat accusing the left of being socialist, but I don't see anyone on the left advocating for actual socialism, just "social democracy" a la western Europe.

I would love to know what supposedly counts as far left now. We've shifted the overton window so far that I'm really lost.

You need a third party to prevent abuses, like you don't get paid. But the issue is that this third party does not want you to build a relation between developer and the employer because if you build trust then you don't need the third party.

After perhaps the fourth time I disabled Cortana and cleaned up mysteriously re-enabled bloatware on the Start menu, I started getting the same "I don't own this device" feeling I've had for years with smartphones. It's obviously less egregious than e.g. Facebook, but it's also a more fundamental element of the stack where I'm less willing to tolerate bad behavior.

If it was simply a matter of doing a bunch of cleanup one, I'd get over it. But between buggy, user-unfriendly update features and instantly-out-of-date instructions on what I need to turn off, it's uncomfortably reminiscent of Android's issues.

IPOs were historically done by unprofitable companies to raise funds. It's like seeking out VCs for another round of funding, but it's instead the public. Now, it's usually done to give insiders an exit.

What future growth would there be for buyers if the company went public already at its peak?
Almost all prisons are public. (Private prisons are illegal in some of the states, like New York, with the worst records of prisoner abuse.) TSA is a big public agency. Transportation infrastructure is almost entirely public. Education is almost entirely public.
I appreciate the response. From someone who has operated a mail server since 2002, it comes across that Gmail does not care about cooperating with small but legitimate mail servers.

SPF, DKIM, reverse DNS, no blacklists, no open relay, longtime ownership of IPs, etc etc. Using various mail testers returns a 10/10 deliverability score.

And yet, messages sent to Gmail always go into the spam folder, or are never delivered at all. These are everyday regular messages, I have never used mailing lists or sent bulk automated messages.

The issue is, there is no recourse, no fix, no acknowledgement of the problem with false positives. There is no tool available to me to understand or correct the "problem". Hint: this comes across as Gmail not giving a shit.

Gmail has a responsibility to be more accountable, even if these problems are unintentional, because Gmail is such an enormous node in a federated network.

> If we lose an open, healthy ecosystem with many providers, we'll destroy the base we stand on.

Correct. Gmail is contributing to the erosion of email reliability. Please course correct.

recently scammed by freelancer.com and it is already on Bank Of America's fraudulent businesses list. Correctly so, BofA refused to honor a $10 charge through my PayPal account freelancer.com was attempting to steal from me. That forced PayPal to drop my BofA checking account as a payment method. It wasn't too disruptive for me because I don't use PayPal all that much. Anyway, I convinced PayPal rather easily that i never agreed to pay freelancer.com anything and the charge was fraudulent.

Just a warning, using freelancer.com in any capacity can have more downward side effect on your life then you think. You are doing business with, imho, a company that is likely surviving as a cleaner for laundered money, aka, a pure illegal enterprise.

If you want to sell crypto coins quickly, getting dollars is hard. You have to go through banks, or trust that the "USD" in your crypto exchange account is really there. Getting crypto tokens out of an exchange is pretty easy, but you're just jumping from one volatile asset to another.

So someone had the idea that you could create a coin that would retain its value but you could easily swap for crypto coins.
Google was built from the ground up writing software for itself to run. Microsoft made systems and development tools for customers to run. Google has to make a much larger cultural change to turn their monolithic infrastructure inside out into products, whereas Microsoft had to make a change in the reverse direction to try to compete in Internet/cloud services.
Every time I look in my spam folder, there's dozens of legitimate emails in there, and I get this dreadful feeling that over the years, thousands of legitimate mails went over the 30-days-in-spam threshold, down the memory hole forever.
The union can act as a third party and provide a similar site. Where then the interests are more closely aligned and not affected by the profit motive. The purpose of such a union would be to get developers jobs at equitable rates for their living conditions and their home market.
> Firstly, Gmail's success is entirely predicated on the health of the global email ecosystem. Gmail does not, inherently, have any network effects (unlike FB, messengers, any other comms tool of Gmail's scale)

Google initially federated with XMPP, until you had critical mass and shut out the rest of the Jabber/XMPP ecosystem.

Of course now you seem intent on killing your _own_ messaging product so it's hard to divine any self-consistent intent here.

My partner got me back into lifting via the her membership to NerdFitness Academy. Helpful for those who might benefit from some gamification and gives a decent set of "levels" to progress through to get into it without going the full on coaching route. That said, I agree with others that you probably would want to get some coaching, or at least do a lot of self study when progressing to heavier lifts (like the dead lift).

> It emphatically does not need more of those, especially petty ones related to email.

What's the alternative? Making sure that the recipient gets the message by sending a courier to his home address?

I remember when a buddy of mine, back in the pre-email days, applied for a job at a company. About a week later, he received a letter, asking him to call them. Turns out, he forgot to put his contact info into the application, but they were interested enough to look up his name in the phone book (they also have/had street addresses were I live) and write him a letter, hoping it would reach the right person. "Always put your contact into into an application" isn't a petty rule, and neither is "use an email-provider that doesn't randomly reject messages" in my book.
The link is 404ing now.
Yes. But like all things, it takes time and practice doing something different before it feels natural. Doing it this way is better for your shoulders.
The problem is that "doing it the hard way" isn't just a matter of the original programmer having to put in "more effort". It's not just a matter of sucking it up. Needlessly esoteric code is less expressive, and therefore harder to maintain, and therefore will statistically have more bugs and have to be replaced sooner. That's the real cost. Masochistic programmers who insist on doing everything the hardest way possible, despite better available options, aren't taking the hard road for the sake of a better end product. They're making their end product objectively worse in the long run.

I didn't set out to attack CSS (I love CSS!), or even assembly for that matter. You're the one who's for some reason making this into a very weird hill to die on.

Not an expert here but I don’t think this is correct. They had some money in the bank. They were supposed to have more. It shouldn’t be surprising that they have some cash given that they have sold so much Tether’s.

I also don’t think tether makes it easy (or possible?) to sell Tether’s back for the $1. It’s “backed”, but it is a meaningless idea. It’s all the best parts of a bank without the hard parts. And is basically fraud.

While you could do this before the police took position of the phone, it's important to point out that making any changes to the phone after it's in their possession, without permission, would be considered tampering with evidence.

So, disabling biometrics before going through TSA is probably OK. But mashing your finger five times on the power button when the police told you to unlock it will most likely result in some criminal charges.

There have been so many proposed algorithms on this idea over the past years, yet here we are, still waiting. For now, it's either vaporware or it has a security flaw.

Or, like traditional proof-of-work mining has become, it will coalesce into the very thing it was meant to remove: control by a few powerful and centralized authorities.

Regardless, blockchain is not going to help solve climate change. A distributed carbon credit market is not going to solve climate change.
