> Pay-per-view is probably more appropriate for those who only want to watch a couple movies every month, put ppv isn't available. Customers instead share their accounts with family members

PPV is available for most movies, you can rent them from iTunes or amazon for $3-5 for a single watch in my experience.

Ultimately the best delivery model for the customer would be $0 for unlimited free streaming of movies and music, of course that would tank the industry and stop new production so a balance must be found in terms of what customers will tolerate vs what is needed to fund new content production.
Yes. In their words:

If a customer churns before the 12 month period that you traded, you have two options. You can rebate the capital you received upfront on a prorated basis for the churned period with no penalty or fees. Or, Pipe can auto-swap another contract to cover the rebate of the churned customer.
Sadly that is my experience with HR at most any mid to large size company.
Are there industry options or methods of wiring to allow for a UPS room separate from the actual rooms the racks are stored in?

It's almost tradition to have a rack with UPS's in the bottom and then the rest of the space filled with servers or drive arrays.

We wouldn't ever think of putting a tiny backup generator in the bottom of every rack, so why do we put a battery storage system there? Also, with the advances in battery chemistry technology that improve reliability and density, it's only a matter of time until Lithium chemistry batteries are available and that also increases the risk of fire.

Is there any reason not to move backup power to another room, or even to a separate structure like how they put backup generators on a pad outside of the building?
I think the key issue here is that there wasn't a functioning fire suppresssion system in place.

Second question: is such a system required for this kind of operation? Maybe?

I currently own or have previously owned domains that are considered “premium” by namecheap standards. I straight up can’t pay $1000/yr for a personal site/non revenue generating site.
That's a risk in the real world too. It's called forgery, it's an ancient practice. There's a concept called providence for which the art world uses experts to determine authenticity. But in the meantime, if an artist, such as Beeple, who is known publicly and has developed a reputation associated with an Ethereum address, has their art encoded on the blockchain, it's as as good of a title transfer record as any that exist in the physical world, if not better.
You mean dozens of recruiter invites to chat right? Getting offers takes much more than just adding keywords to your CV
This is taking to extremes my maxim that UPSes cause more outages than they prevent.
The most important lesson in interviewing I've learnt is to shut up. If you're doing the talking you're not learning about the candidate. Say as little as possible, if they ask good followup questions they will figure stuff out (see also above comment about curiosity).
np, I coincidentally happened to have that quote at my fingertips already :)
If you use Next.js it's not really an issue but you're right, that is pretty annoying.
On a side note. Is there any benefit to a micro kernel operating system anymore?

Linux is a monolithic kernel.

One drive of course, is to have a micro kernel that will allow you to update your operating system as needed, without the need to reboot.

Can this still be accomplished with a micro kernel system, or is this now an obsolete method for operating systems design?

I thought about that but I think the main advantage of doing it this way is to corner the market somewhat. You get all the "good" ones and make it harder for anybody to clone your idea.
> gave off a sense of superiority.

The primary roles of CTO and VP. Eng. are to be politicians, so you'll see a lot of that. Most also tell me, "You know, I'am an architect." or "You know, I have a Master's Degree." because they're insecure about not doing engineering any more.
I would quit if the corporate computer prevented me from doing my assigned job.

Programming is literally an option to sign up for, after which it is an assigned task on which you get graded.

You can’t tell me there is no way to let someone use an entirely web based programming environment. I understand locking down the machine, but then provide a VM.
Right, so if you can't hit the ground running in two weeks or less (2 weeks notice to leave your previous job) we will move on. The job market is hot, but we do have other candidates. I've been in the situation where we liked person A best, but person B was almost as good and would have got an offer if we had 2 positions open, so if you can't accept fast we want to get your offer to person B before they find a different job. I know of one case where we sent person's B resume to a different division that did their own interview and hired them.
I keep expecting this to tie back to a Borat sequel.
> Windows’ standard command shell is cmd.exe. Unfortunately this shell is terrible and exists mostly for legacy compatibility. For users who regularly need a shell, the intended replacement is PowerShell. It’s a significant improvement, but 1) it’s still mediocre, 2) sticking to POSIX shell conventions significantly improves build portability, 3) unix tool knowledge is transferable to basically every other operating system.

Powershell Core is actually available on quite a few posix-platforms and thus actually portable.

Obviously you’ll introduce a non-standard build-time dependency on Unix-platforms, but by adopting it at least you can slowly ween your Windows-only stuff in a generally more portable direction.
Not to be rude, but it's really wild to me that even after all this time during the pandemic, the CEO doesn't have a headset he can use so that the audio is intelligible. It's gotta be one of the highest ROI investments you can possibly make at this point.

Two things:

1. Unless you have some way to stop time, it is impossible to stop humans from mutating/evolving.

2. I would argue it is part of being human, and being alive, to evolve and adapt to your environment. Humans have multiple ways of doing this. Beyond our ability to genetically evolve, our intelligence is a mechanism we use to adapt to your environment much faster than genetics permit.
I haven't seen it happen in a long time, but I've also blocked most of the offenders in my hosts file.

Another way to think about it is, that you adjust the price continuously. If a speculator offers you money, you are in the position to take the offer or raise your own valuation and pay the increased tax. At some point a sensible person would be like: screw this, I am moving out of the city because the offers are so high, resulting in very high taxes, which is the intended effect.
I was reasonably close to hitting my FIRE goal, assuming I wanted to continue living as frugally as I had been, when I was laid off.

I had to decide: do I pull the trigger now, and work on some kind of part-time project to try to fill in the little bit I'm missing, or do I find another six-figure job? I realized pretty quickly the decision was stressing me out, which for me, made the choice easy. I booked a flight to Hong Kong and planned to look for another job in about six months.

Of course, life being what it is, I met my now-wife in Hong Kong, so I've extended my career for a few more years to make things even more comfortable. Still, I definitely feel like I am well-situated enough that I could walk away from anything, take some time off, and find another job "whenever."

It's always on a spectrum!
Are you googling? ;-)
Paul is on the better side of every moat he makes.
Oh good to know. I don't use OvH, and my limited understanding were from their products page which lists VM style offerings. I had assumed VMs were the major use cases on OvH.
And I am glad it exists because of that. I can read any language grammar book and maybe even try some exercises but what only Duolingo offers is what's missing when you are not in the country : practicing the language every day. (The site is better than the app I think)
a functioning fire suppression system would have probably been better but second to that i guess a mic would be a good investment
I don't exactly whiteboard, because in the past several years I've only interviewed online and while I'm looking for the same qualities, I found that (a simple) coding challenge does help with determining these. (I'm also looking for the smarts, but not "google smart" scale.)

Just by struggling with a (really not that hard) challenge tells a lot about how well someone is able to listen. E.g. when you try to give hints to them. It also shows a bit about their demand for producing quality work. (The first solution they provide is usually not bug free. They miss edge cases. Then they add conditions to check for them but those are not needed because the algorithm can be written in a pretty simple form. BTW, I've been using the same challenge for years. Whether someone is willing to simplify shows a lot about how much they care about the quality of their work.)

But yeah, I found that usual chit chat about technology with a few directed questions also help (and I use them).
GOP Lawmaker Pushing Voter Suppression Laws “Everybody Shouldn’t Be Voting”
That's totally how it can work, if it should or not is another story.

I don't doubt people judged the company based on their interactions with HR, but that's HR's responsibility IMO. I gave my feedback on a few occasions, but they didn't take any action based on it. At that point their failures are 'not my job'.

As for any other HR interactions most folks interacted with them as little as possible. At big companies (and many others..) I find HR is there for the company to manage risk, not help, I expect very little from that kind of department.
It also depends if you're renting a dedicated server, vs cloud/VPS. AWS/Google/Azure deal with virtualized systems that can be moved around to another server easily.

OVH has a lot of dedicated servers as well though, so if you're using one of those then it can't be moved very easily to avoid downtime.

If you say it upfront, that's fine. If you say it once I solved the problem it's not.
I think the idea is that a UBI would provide only enough money for subsistence, and the human drive for greater wealth and status would continue unabated. Status and meaning are certainly important, and people would continue to seek those out.

It's possible that many more people would want to become entrepreneurs, given that there would be a social safety net if they failed. Right now, most entrepreneurs come from an upper middle-class background, often with financial assistance and cushioning from their parents.
This is one of the advantages of using background jobs. Any call to a 3rd party service should be in the background to handle network and reliability issues. The job system handles automatic retry.

It's interesting to think that they may have died by the sword on which they lived (almost not even a metaphor). The article suggests that this was successful in part because the administration had politicized so much science before then, on a wide variety of issues. That gave this prominent doctor leverage to push against this one particular bit of politicized science.

I'm pretty sure any administration would have tried to force a good-news October Surprise by pushing for early approval. After all, it did turn out that the vaccines were safe and effective. They would have had access to both theory suggesting that it should be, and early data affirming that. We can say in retrospect that it would have been fine.

The right charismatic leader could even be seen as having taken a bold step and been a hero. Or at least gotten reelected (since there wouldn't have been supplies and that is busy making people mad now, but that takes a while to show up).

Instead, the science community was motivated to force them to follow the rules. And while we can't prove anything about a counterfactual, the election was close enough that a good October surprise could have turned it. (Which they couldn't have known at the time they wrote this article, two weeks before the election.)
Love pg but lol at opening with "I write simple" and immediately throwing around some Italian words.
for balance - i wrote Why Tailwind CSS a while ago: https://www.swyx.io/why-tailwind/

Here are my responses to OP's arguments:

1. Tailwind Makes Your Code Difficult to Read

true, there is a learning curve. But this is over relatively quickly once you learn that "w" stands for "width" and "h" is for "height", and the screen size prefixes map as you would expect from default to medium to large.

as for scanning left to right... the enter key is right there. my VSCode autoformats the classes to break lines just fine. its probably the tailwind plugin doing that.

2. Tailwind Is Vendor Lock-in

first of all, "vendor lock-in is bad" is a poor kneejerk reaction. we all buy in to vendors at some point. eg with frontend frameworks. and as far as vendor lockin goes, Tailwind is extremely light - if you want to stop using it, freeze the generated output, and then continue writing css in whatever new way you choose. this is far LESS vendor lockin than alternatives like styled components and css modules, which force you to make specific js and build tool choices. and all of these are open source so this again is an order of magnitude less lockin than anything proprietary, which is where this argument really starts being at all useful.

3. Tailwind Is Bloated

how is declaring things on the docs indicative that "its creators have tried their very best to hide this fact from you."? they've just decided on sensible defaults. the bloat only impacts development and builds. This contrasts to the problem that utility css solves, which is bloat inside of hard-to-maintain append-only CSS with lots of duplicates, which actually affects users.

4. Tailwind Is an Unnecessary Abstraction

components. use components to repeat stuff. this rant on @apply takes things way overreacts, calm down.

5. Semantics Is Important. Tailwind Forgoes It.

counterpoint: naming things is hard. Tailwind names css utilities for you so that you don't have to come up with custom names for every component.

6. Tailwind and Dev Tools Don’t Play Nicely

au contraire, tailwind plays VERY well with devtools. https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1265745431448838144?lang=bg (since this video I even learned that you can type in the classname box in chrome devtools and it autocompletes nicely for you

7. Tailwind Is Still Missing Some Key Features

then write regular css :)

Also if you're at a level where senior people are interviewing you, it can just take a while to make everything happen. (This is particularly true if you're interviewing with people who travel a lot.) I have at least some reason to believe that being hired for my current position (which I've had for over ten years) wasn't controversial but it still took a couple months for it to happen.

Steve Job didn’t invent the smartphone and Elon Musk didn’t invent the electric car, they did both make those things cool.

Steve Jobs also had a treatable form of pancreatic cancer and died from it, because he refused traditional medicine.

You can point to countless inventions and advances in humanity that are not due to crazy asshole geniuses. What happens to people is that the better you are at something, the more willing they are to forgive your flaws. This allows those flaws to grow and grow, to the point where you’re accusing random people that insult you of being pedophiles. But these flaws are not a requisite part of being driven and not giving up.
One thing I really like about Apple keyboards is that they make it really easy to type a lot of accented letters and characters, using just the ALT key.

Usually [with UK layout anyway] ALT+E followed by the vowel you need will give you an accent on that vowel; acute on E, umlaut on O and U, etc.

I use Irish layout which is the same as UK but has the additional advantage [for the languages I need to type] that I can type acute accented vowels with just ALT+vowel: áéíóú ÁÉÍÓÚ Thus saving an extra keystroke. Some other handy ones:

ALT + s gives you German ß

ALT + n followed by another n gives you Spanish ñ

ALT + c followed by another c gives you French ç

ALT + ! gives you Spanish ¡

[oddly, on my keyboard ALT + ? doesn't give the Spanish upside down question mark, but a division sign]

ALT + g gives you copyright symbol ©

ALT + r gives you registered trademark symbol ®

ALT + k gives you a degrees symbol ˚

ALT + t gives you square root symbol √

ALT + y gives you a Yen [?] symbol ¥

ALT + f gives you a florin symbol ƒ

ALT + h gives you a mu symbol µ

ALT + l gives you pi π

etc. etc.
What if the people who were already exposed are currently asymptomatic but contagious?
This seems wrong, generally my groups try to strategize a little as we are getting together to discuss the candidate. making sure we actually covered the important stuff, how to press on soft spots, etc.

It’s group work just like everything else. slowly mix in junior people to train them, but make sure there are enough senior interviewers to make sure we make a decent evaluation.
