Living in Europe, if this is really true then the US banking system sucks even more than I thought.

What you describe is basically a normal (northern) European bank from the sound of it.

The only difference is the interest rate, in my own bank I get lower rate until I hit a certain threshold, but it's the same account and there are no limitations on withdrawals etc. If you offer 1.6% from the first dollar than that is slightly better.

The main advantage of additive is automation. You can 3D print a lunar habitat with a Fresnel lens, a remotely operated robot, and sunlight well before humans install and inflate an internal pressure vessel. If you could do that with metals on the moon or, better, on an asteroid, you'd have a lot of parts that'd need minimal human intervention before being used.

Even if not as practical, or high quality, or light, it means huge savings.
This kind of attitude is what leads to people using Facebook memes to inform their entire worldview. The whole Twitter thread takes, what, 1 minute to read?
Indeed! It is that sight, the infinity of stars and space, that has probably been the greatest creative inspiration for humans ever since we gained sentience. The reminder and assurance that there is more to reality than the artifice of society and its petty concerns we've cocooned ourselves in.

With the stars gone from the skies in cities and their surroundings it is truly a dystopia, where humans will live their lives out thinking that our cities are all there is.

> security versus freedom, and I don't know what the right trade off is

That is not a trade off at all, if you believe that you have already fallen for the propaganda. Security in and of itself has no value that you could trade off against freedom, only the freedom part of that pair is valuable. Security is a means to the end of freedom: You may need a certain kind and/or amount of security to gain and maintain freedom. But security is also a means to authoritarianism if you do it wrong. Which means: Security is only valuable in so far as it causes a net increase in freedom. If you are actually giving up freedom to make space for more security, that is, you are trading off freedom against security, you have failed.

They are trying to get their facial recognition working regardless of skin color, Which is a good thing even if you're against facial recognition in general since it reduces inequality.

They are doing it by targeting homeless people, which would be fine if they went around it the right way, but instead they lie and deceive. I'm willing to bet there are plenty of people willing to cooperate for $5 and no lies so I'm at a bit of a loss as to why they chose to go for the lying and deceiving route.
This is both funny and sad, but it just leaves me curious what did you spend your time doing for three full years working like that?
>We compute and call it as "total cost to company" or TCC.

Quick rule of the thumb here (Italy) is that the TCC is typically:

1) for executives/managers 1.5-1.9 of the actual net wage[1]

2) for employees 1.9-2.5

3) for workers (let's call them "blue collars") 2.5-3.0

The difference in the factor depends on the specific industry/sector, and is mostly related to insurance and continuity of employment.

[1) by net wage I mean what the actual employee brings home, already net of income taxes

There's definitely some hoops you may have to jump through, and as I mentioned I'm recommending this for digital nomads, not some random tax evasion scheme if you actually live permanently in some other location. This is probably doable, but illegal and risky.

In my case I officially rent a very cheap place in Sofia, Bulgaria's capital (< $100) which I don't use much, and travel a lot to other places (even within Bulgaria, as it's so affordable, so I actually do end up spending a good chunk of time there anyway though).

As a nomad, all you really need to do is make sure no other country has any claims on your tax revenue. Conditions varies - and it may be a good idea to not even own property in some countries. But mostly as long as you don't spend >50% of your time in any other given location they won't consider you liable to pay taxes there.

Note that Bulgaria of course does not have any complaints about me paying taxes in Bulgaria, regardless of whether I'm there or not. I'm basically just giving the tax money - this would probably be different if I wanted, say, citizenship, but that's a different issue.

Hope that's helpful.
You're right that timing is key, however:

>> Crypto = Trust (100%) <<

which is why (in my viewpoint) it matters a great deal, and there's just no way back. Trust is required for monetary exchange, but not only. It also matters where very strong guarantees are needed, which is everywhere, e.g., when setting up contracts or when making statements (expert or regulated) about a product, service, or a status. Trust matters because then the whole value-chain gets more efficient, rapid, and cost-effective.

Sure, but no one is replacing their hard hat after having bonked their head lightly on a door frame. Scuffs and light marking shouldn't affect the functioning of the hard hat but still be a rough indicator of job-site experience -- until it gets replaced in a more serious and you start over of course, but thats not really a bad thing either in my opinion.

Not super familiar with the space, but ReWork by Jason Fried and DHH, founders of BaseCamp (DHH made Ruby on Rails), was pretty good.

The world is filled with incompetent managers who have no clue about the requirements or conditions and are afraid to ask, they play authority card or even intimidate instead. Very dumb.

I feel unlucky never being fired and leaving 4 out of 5 cases because of bad management (poor task allocation, inadequate yet wasted resources, focus on appearances instead of essence both in steering and execution, poor communication or attitude, misuse of authority - including not using authority where necessary). I almost wish of having a (real, not induced!) feeling of incompetency, the feeling of the need to improve, instead of the feeling of wasting my time at work.

I'd disagree that a PIP is a blanket pink slip.

At my current employer, I've personally seen (and mentored!) people on a PIP who've been given reasonably concrete feedback on how to improve their performance in terms of the parameters set by the organisation. (The last part is key!).

People who've responded positively to this have seen reasonably good upward trajectory, and those who've responded negatively have been managed out.

> Once you got to that point, you're not a good fit to the team and/or they don't appreciate you.

Or you haven't yet figured out the parameters by which you're being evaluated. Once you figure this out, the next step is deciding whether you want to subscribe to those parameters or not, and acting accordingly.

Read the companion website, the authors cherry-picked their findings, good thing they link to another independent study:

https://elifesciences.org/articles/48224

“Surprisingly, we find that frequently observed adaptive substitutions at two sites, 111 and 122, are lethal when homozygous and adult heterozygotes exhibit dominant neural dysfunction. We identify a phylogenetically correlated substitution, A119S, that partially ameliorates the deleterious effects of substitutions at 111 and 122. Despite contributing little to cardiac glycoside-insensitivity in vitro, A119S, like substitutions at 111 and 122, substantially increases adult survivorship upon cardiac glycoside exposure.”

Essentially the study found 2 mutations (substitutions at 111 and 122) give the treatment fruit fly(Drosophila ) an immunity to milkweed poison(cardiac glycosides), the mutation has a lethal side effect: it causes a neural dysfunction that kills the treatment fly(adult heterozygotes). A third mutation(A119S) is immediately needed to correct the side effect. If we are being honest an adaptive walk is essentially impossible for the Monarch. An honest critic refutes the Whiteman Laboratory & NYTimes assertion that an adaptive walk occurred.

If anyone in or near Iraq can read this, you can spread messages using person-to-person tools that don't need the internet at all.

For example, using the Scuttlebutt network (SSB), you can deliver messages from your contacts, using Bluetooth or just by being on the same wifi. They can be public messages, or encrypted private messages so only certain recipients can decode them. Manyverse (https://manyver.se) is a decent Android app for SSB.

There are other tools like Briar, which I don't know much about, but other people here may be able to help...
After checking your website I have made some points:
What are you exactly offering? Sending sms from the website? That's great - I need it. But.... Why would I choose you and not an established company in this domain? What can you offer me better than existing ones?

Presence in multiple countries? That's awesome. I would like to contact people from UK, Spanish and Italian numbers. Can I do it with your product? It's not clear.

Contact Management? I use my (insert name here) CRM. Why would I switch? Just because it integrated nicely with sending texts from the web?

As a customer, I don't understand what is your product. Is it contact management, is it text sending, is it global numbers?
There are no screenshots, no videos, just text. I won't be filling in 6 fields just to "see" what is your product. Show, don't tell.

My advice is that you should focus! What exactly is your product? Show me what can I do with it and what can it do for me. Raise my curiosity so that I will click "Free trial" (btw, merge first name and last name, remove confirm password).

Keep up the good work. You are on the right track just need to focus and polish your product demo.
And after the invasion millions more suffered for it even more. Including those suffering under Saddam. Who do you think are targeted mostly by IS? The formerly oppressed majority. The invasion made everything worse for everyone. No, you are not officially repressed by the state anymore. Instead you are oppressed by your local friendly militia.

As long as we are clear on that, yes, Iraq under Saddam was shit. That's no excuse to make it worse.

Yes – autism is a perfect explanation for behavior not following typical social norms. That's more or less exactly the core of this disability.

From my point of view RMS really tackles his disability as far as he can: Announces his preferences, choosing interaction forms appropriate to him (email), openly telling that he'll refrain from group discussion…

Besides that I still don't see, where RMS really crossed the lines which requires actions to actually destroy his life. In the same time someone like Trump permanently crosses really vital red lines in all aspects… every… fucking… day…

In saying that I think there will be a self correcting mechanism in more physically based science. If something can be replicated it can be built upon and new discoveries made. If something can't be replicated it will end up being forgotten about.

Also I do think that science needs a way of reporting failed studies and failed replication. At the moment all the glory and funding go to studies that produce positive results. Producing a failed result is still valid science and should be doccumented.
