Especially if we’re talking about five eyes countries, the other countries involved are on board with this sort of thing. It’s not about what’s being done but who has control when we’re talking about national security. As for how much it matters to the citizens what the difference is…well I’m probably less likely to get in trouble if China has my information actually.
> since the rich tend to consume more

Yes, billionaires with private jets tend to consume more but your average multimillionaire is probably working remote from a cushy white collar job while poor people need to commute to and from work (often long distances because rent is expensive). CO2 taxes are regressive however you try to sell them.
Nah, replies I can understand. Top-level comments, not so much. Plus on Reddit they tend to be of pretty much no informational or entertainment value, essentially just ‘Oh yeah man!’ quipped into the void of the bottom of the comment section.
Publicly accusing you of fraud is at the very least malicious disregard for the truth if it's a false accusation. This is supposed to be Hacker News, not Character Assassination News. (That's Twitter.)

Well, no, when dealing with the typical unit of gasoline in the US, Imperial units are irrelevant, and US Customary units are inevitable.

More like anti-nuclear groups are extremely effective at FUD, and don't fear lying to people. They have literally used every dirty trick in the book to kill commercial nuclear policies. For instance, a large majority of french people believe that nuclear contributes to global warming [1].

Of course, if you freeze an industry for 20 years, there is going to be some loss of knowledge and know-how.

It doesn't matter what the underlying reason for pointing it out is, a Darwin Award is won, ultimately, by an idiot removing themselves from the gene pool, not necessarily by doing it in a funny way.

> We have eliminated some, but others we've simply relegated them to the black market so that those engaging them either do it entirely without unemployment insurance and other labor protections, or they do it as an independent business or contractor.

Do you have any evidence that this occurs at any meaningful scale? This theory, while occasionally toted by conservative/libertarian think tanks, seems to rely on only 1 example (a New York city car wash that was already cutting jobs through automation), which was covered/written by a libertarian think tank.

> Somehow I doubt it was meaningless to the individuals who had the choice of move to a store not offering the hazard pay or lose their job. But meaningless from your privileged perspective of not being immediately affected by the loss.

No, the article you linked is meaningless specifically because it tells you absolutely nothing about those individuals (and also because it's purely anecdotal). When discussing wage increases (or hazard pay in this case), we typically care about the outcomes for workers. Not to mention the fact, as I said, that QFC has a vested interest in blaming regulation.

> Rich from a person leading off with the straw man attacking Cato with the false argument that they had somehow claimed there weren't poor people making minimum wage.

I literally linked the exact quote. They made two arguments, the second of which was that (verbatim) "a lot of people who earn the federal minimum wage or just above it are not poor, or will not be poor in the longer term." The entire point of the original article was that this is not true...

> But I'm taking "notes" to mean commentary.

In the context of the reMarkable / this conversation, “notes” means whatever the user draws on the device with the stylus: underlining or circling or crossing-out words or drawing lines between them, drawing pictures or hand-writing in the margin or between lines or on the words, etc: whatever you would or could do with a physical book and a pen/pencil.

(A primary design goal of the reMarkable tablet is to be as similar to paper as possible, so (if I understood your suggestion correctly) telling users that their "notes" will be treated as images to be re-rendered to the side of the text, instead of where they put it—anywhere—would break the similarity, and apply only to a small subset of possible "notes", namely "commentary", as you said.)
Hydrogen can be made and stored underground using existing technology. This is not currently competitive, but it doesn't involve inventing anything new. Storing hydrogen in underground solution mind salt caverns is very cheap per unit of energy storage capacity, some two orders of magnitude cheaper than batteries.
It depends, some attacks rely on spoofing source address.. This should not be possible and is easily detectable by ISPs as illegitimate traffic. As far as my other suggestion, it would be a user accessible API. Whomever controls an IP should be able to instruct their ISP what is/isn't legit traffic, so the ISP does not have to know anything.

No bullshit, you say?

I like tongue in cheek stuff, jokes and all, but that tone sounds more like “fuck you” than a solid, reliable business relationship with adequate respect where the customer is not the product.

Besides that: Props for so quickly capitalizing on the (probably still brewing) imgur controversy!
It sounds like you agree that Plex is not what you should be using in that usecase.
I think weekly is great! They don't have to go for the full time, but when I was an EM, it was the one time of the week where my attention was fully on the other person. That's great for the employee because they can bring things up and it's great for the EM because if there are any subtle issues (dissatisfaction) it's a chance to catch them early.

No, if you like the job and the prospective team, don’t worry about it. There’s no telling what the internal bureaucracy is at the company. Even VERY large, well-known, desirable companies can be slow and disorganized in the interview process. No telling how many sign offs, background checks, etc. are required before extending the offer.

Even if the internal recruiter is completely incompetent, the odds of you ever having a future interaction with them are near zero.

It is greatly to your benefit to remain calm, cool, patient, and polite. You never know if the recruiter has to go to bat for you internally. If they don’t like you, they won’t do it.

Good luck!

Could you actually "sell" a company, where the price is "$1M/year for the rest of my life"?

If imgz becomes the next FAANG, then that'd be quite cheap.
Hmm, as far as I can see you either sell out, or get sold out to. The last one seems like a viable option?
I made it for my use, so yes! Anything over $0 would be profitable.

Two out of three users use the "cheapass" plan. The other guy has the "person" plan.
Real ones, though, which makes the checkbox corporate ones feel that much more fake, because we all know what the real thing is like.
Unfortunate. 5$ is a perfect no brainer price, but I pay 1€/mo for my e-mail hosting and definitely get more value out of that ...

Flawless demand adjustment, though.
I'm aware of one such company that uses Imgur like that and that deals with celebs. Imgur isn't their primary target, it's just a handy layer of abstraction away from the real target so the content can't TRULY be taken down on the target site. Plus, it shows you how many impressions you get for free. That way they can gather up their campaign image urls and views at the end of the contract and show hard results without the need for a fancy, paid analytics dashboard or campaign tracking system.
That and writing software, and I'm assuming motherhood too.
Removing CO2 from the atmosphere doesn't mean unburning it. The CO2 either gets dissolved into the deep ocean, stored underground in deep aquifers, or reacted with silicates to make carbonates.
> It's possible for the highly motivated to learn a lot, but, for the median student, things look much grimmer.

I'm starting to think most classes could be split in two when doing online education.

There's a percentage of students that are highly motivated and that don't really need a lot of supervision. A teacher could split them into a group and assign them (a lot) of reading and follow up at a regular cadence. They should be encouraged to have a daily conference call, not necessarily with the teacher, to work together on problems or discuss books.

Else these students are stuck in a lecture where, let's face it, half the time is spent doing "classroom management" for problematic students.
Stavros. You need to detach a little bit, get a 10,000m view. You've got something, you can be successful. But your approach is "out of whack" and people aren't going to support you. Conform to influence.
Nortel was the main reason this all happened.
They were the ones that were doing all the cutting
edge wireless network research and when they
collapsed Huawei was the one that executed the
best in the wake of said collapse.

Err ... not sure if you're aware, but it's common knowledge that Nortel's sensitive IP was hacked by the Chinese.

In fact it went on over almost a full decade, from the late 1990's to 2009 when it was brought widely to light. [1]

Say what you will about Chinese companies but
damn some of them execute well.

Well, I mean, especially the ones benefiting from nation-state level corporate espionage.

Of course empires stealing tech from each other has happened many times historically; we don't have to all act shocked that it can happen.

But neither is it irrelevant that it did, in fact, happen, and specifically in the case that you mention of Nortel and Huawei.

It's definitely not just a simple case of "generous credit", though the wider point about Western governments not supporting their core digital infrastructure companies in strategic ways during those years is certainly correct.

If you were to go with PostgreSQL, wouldn't you store this in a large object, which is effectively stored outside of the actual table row? So, if you can store enough rows of meta data AND you provision enough storage, why wouldn't the database be able to do this. I don't imagine you want to put a primary key on the actual image data column (not possible with large objects, since the column just contains an "oid"). I'm not arguing for storing images in the database, I've seen it done either way, and done it myself either way, but I believe that it's an ongoing source of heated debate between proponents and opponents. I.e. not settled out of hand.
Republicans Refuse to Raise Debt Ceiling, Flirt with Economic Suicide
I think it is interesting to ask about cognitive bias w.r.t. attitudes towards certain threats. Consider a bear. Neither a man nor a woman is likely to win a fight with a bear (though the man has a slightly better shot). Both men and women could probably learn to scare off most bears rather easily, and bear mace works the same for everyone. We might consider on this basis that the actual risk from bears is similar regardless of gender. But is it perceived that way? Is the comparative risk assessment accurate? And whose attitude is irrational - men, women, both or neither?
It used to be $5/yr but everyone complained that $5/mo was too high, so I changed it to "$1/mo billed annually", which amazingly has solved the complaints without reducing subscriptions at all (they were already at zero).

So if you go into this service paying money expecting images to be hosted you're gonna have a bad time. Still humorous though, finally a payment page that states what every big company wants to state.

That density seems to be on the low end; different formulations have different densities, and the sources I’ve found give somewhat different ranges, but the ranges given typically seems to be about 750±35 kg/m³.
> Dogma

> Nonsense

You may think Scrum is dogma, but my statements are factually true by reasonable definitions of the terms.

>Why would you continue to follow a process you don't find value in? If you didn't like a process, why would you feel like bringing that process up in a process-oriented equally-useless meeting? This is the dogmatism. "Well even though the meeting wasn't valuable you still should've tried". To what end?

Strawman.

I'm afraid you'll have to take my word for it that the team where just bad at it. They got better with coaching and even managed to see some value.

The values behind the process are more important. This team just weren't talking to each other about their own performance.

> throughput/attrition

Of staff or customers? Attrition is very low of both. Not sure it's that relevant though. 3 engineers have left in the last 2 years and one of those three is returning. Is that a good thing?

As for throughput, even the slowest of teams ship on a daily basis. Not sure what other context you could mean.
Huh, all of Imgur costs only +/- $2000/month to store on Backblaze.

That’s not that bad.
Cold SORE: What you need to know
Cold sores are unsightly, contagious and very painful sores, normally occurring on the edge of the lip or nose.

Cold sores are created by the replication process of the herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2. Current studies show that about 77% of cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex type 1 and about 23% by the type 2 version of this simplex virus.

For the most part, cold sores caused by either type of the herpes virus are identical. They both look the same, hurt the same, are just as contagious, and last about the same amount of weeks.

Cold sores will occur and reoccur in about the same location as the initial infection. For example, if your cold sore appears on your upper left lip, then this is the site of the original infection. The virus that causes cold sores lives in the nerve cells. It will seek out the nearest nerve fibers at the site where the virus enters the body. That herpes virus will make a home in that particular nerve fiber for the rest of your life.

Now don't be fooled. You can be infected several times in different locations. If another cold sore appears on your lower right lip, this is a different infection and you now have located another "family" of the cold sore virus living in another nerve fiber.

When you have a cold sore, keep in mind that you are not only very contagious to others, but to other locations on your own body too. Cold sores can appear anywhere on the body where the virus found a crack in the protective skin layer.

The herpes simplex virus normally is in hibernation farther down the nerve fibers from the surface. If you get a cold sore on your upper left lip, chances are this virus is hiding in the nerve ganglia near your left ear.
Doesn't iCloud use FoundationDB for storage of files?
Interesting company. It was created in 2018 [1], and the CEO is Michael Heyward, who was a co-founder of Whisper. Some interesting shuffling happened with Whisper [2] and it's now owned by MediaLab. Since then they have acquired a number of other properties, the general idea seems to buy declining brands for cheap and extract as much value as possible on mobile.

No one's is claiming the US is anywhere near perfect, but the question is do we let China win or the US. And if that question doesn't have an obvious answer to you, you just haven't been paying attention. We have more freedom, more rights, and aren't actively genociding minority populations. We have our flaws, and we absolutely should strive to be better, but I would much rather be under American rule than China.

I agree with your first statement. However, this is one case where we don't have to make any guesses. City voting records are public.

If you actually checked, then you'll see that Democratic and Republican controlled cities have seen an uptick in murder rate. In some cases, Republicans have a higher increase. So this isn't an issue with any particular party.

> in many countries, urban areas are less violent

This might be because of better mental healthcare, less drug/gang related violence, better gun control, or a variety of factors. If America had the same laws as other countries then this discrepancy would be strange however the US has been very slow at getting up to the current standards that most developed countries have adopted.
Of course they're interested in my welfare; even a pawn has value to the state. Moreover, the five eyes are all representative democracies; China is not.
First, that's not actually true. Have a look at figures 3 and 4 of this paper [1]. CO2 emissions increase with income, and that holds both globally and within particular countries they studied (US, UK, China, India).

Second, even if it were true, you'd still have control over how you redistribute the revenue, and as a result, you can make the net effect as progressive as you want.
