> book lovers love to have an item/collectible rather than the content

I think it's that they (I guess I'd say we) love to have the item _in addition_ to the content. I read books because I like to read. I will happily acknowledge that I buy physical books for mostly nostalgic reasons, and for the added benefit that I can give/lend them to people easily. Physical books were such a massive part of my childhood that the experience of reading one conjures up decades of positive memories and emotions.

That said I don't think it's a signaling thing, really. At least not for most folks. I mean I don't think there are very many people out there accumulating books in the hopes that people who come to their house will see them and think something about them.

SEEKING WORK

I start for free. No commitment required. I launch quick with a focus on profitability, earnings, and converting users to customers.

References with significant budgets available upon request. I found great success with Next.js and Relay.js. Great community with former professionals from Microsoft and Facebook.

Please find me on the graphql discord job-board. I'll be sure to reply:

Ublock Origin kills the popover and the auto-play video, but the site also appears to be blank outside of the first paragraph of the article.

I also closed the tab immediately.
200 000 units are ready, with a million more well on their way.
I'm fairly sure most of their "like new" products are just returned purchases that couldn't be repackaged for whatever reason. I bought a Samsung Galaxy phone off the site a few years back, and it came with 90% of the original packaging, and the handset itself had no visible blemishes. Pretty good for a 40% discount.
I personally wouldn't bother. If you're not doing deep learning, existing hardware is already good enough that, while I can't say that nobody could get any value out of it, I'm personally not seeing the need. I'd much rather focus on the things that are actually costing me time and money, like data integrity.

Like, I would guess that the potential benefit to my team's productivity from eliminating (over)reliance on weakly typed formats such as JSON from our information systems could be orders of magnitude greater.
While people decry the inability for crypto transactions to be adjudicated in court, what we don't talk about as much is that this is also the direction of non-crypto transactions. As the article stated, the police initially refused to even consider the theft of the man's house a crime.

We used to say possession is 9/10ths of the law. Now it seems the algorithm is 9/10ths of the law.

You have maybe 10% chance to reverse a transaction that was approved by the computers. Or at least we're headed that way.

>I've read stories of companies running up large bills for the various AWS services because they had forgotten about them or misconfigured them etc

Unrelated to this question but related to that sentence, I've been talking with some people to come up with an interesting pricing plan for our product (ML platform), and that's been one of their concerns, so we're thinking of introducing limits and alerts.
A meter that would be of different length every time you would measure something would not be useful for measuring. I'm not sure that it would be made better by including your changing lifestyle and entertainment preferences as they happen.
This obviously has nothing to do with containers. You can download and run untrusted code (as root or otherwise) whether or not it’s containerized, and indeed containers at least give you some degree of isolation. What would possess someone to post such embarrassingly obvious misinformation?
This is you from [0]:

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Maybe I assumed you read this guideline, but clearly it seems that you did not read it, given that your own assumption lacks substance. Which is why I ask again:

Do you have evidence to your own assumption that cryptocurrencies have the perception or appearance of being bad for the environment? On top of that, where is the evidence that support the case that ALL cryptocurrencies are bad for the environment?

The fact that you are actively dodging these questions leads me to think that you have no evidence in general to support your entire sentence in [0] given that it has ZERO sources which means it is absolutely baseless.

Generally, no. Under the rules of civil procedure, a subpoena to testify may be quashed if it "requires disclosing an unretained expert’s opinion or information that does not describe specific occurrences in dispute and results from the expert’s study not requested by a party."

expert witnesses are much different from a regular witness since they have an exception to the hearsay rule (can testify about things they didn't directly observe themselves), their credentials are examined, they make a report, they are required to be paid, etc. Because of this you cannot subpoena them like a regular witness.

ram is on the chip with the cpu now. so i don't see that changing in the near future with the laptop/mac mini versions of the M1 at least
That ("strawman") was my first reaction. Then on thinking about it some more, I realized that maybe a lot of folks ("journalists" as I put it) actually DO think you can just read, especially with the pandemic and the internet. Isn't everything on the web nowadays?

No it's not. So maybe this is a worthwhile article after all.
What do you base that on? Just because someone chooses other languages whenever they can, doesn't mean they're not forced to use C++ at work.
I bet you the politicians and other EU crats will be exempt because of "fill in bs reason". Only for the dirty evil plebs.

I would contest your position. While your individual action may be of no consequence to Google, it still has a marginal impact.

I did basically the same thing as the user you responded to did, but only about 6-8 months ago. And I plan to migrate off of Google services as soon as Graphene is ported to the Pixel 6.

If the utility that the convenience that Google offers you outweighs the inconvenience of not doing business with a company you disagree with, no problem. Your utility curve doesn't weigh in the actions of the company as heavily as mine.

Google won't need to change their behavior until enough people leave, and even then they may choose to go out of business as opposed to changing. But you would have played your part and spoken with your wallet which is how free markets are designed.

Note: My utility curve doesn't place any emphasis on me individually acting as a figure in Google politics: unions, regulation, etc. We all have preferences.
Millennials left Facebook for Snapchat and Zoomers for TikTok, but where are either going to go if they leave Apple? Your "white-picket Disneyfied techtopia" may be right on the mark, but when Apple's mobile computing ecosystem is competing for it-factor with the likes of Samsung, there's still no competition.

Ultimately, it's not really about Apple's ever-more anodyne first-party positioning; it's about the entertainment elite and the influencers that continue to carry iPhones.
I don't think use of transactions or any other query or modeling hygiene are "internals". You can just as easily consider SQL to be an API (or really a DSL) for the black box of DB internals. In most cases, you're better off not looking inside the box because DB vendors only guarantee behavior at the API level. You can always identify and improve bottlenecks if/when they actually impact application function. I can write a load of crummy queries, expose them in an API and then just apply some clever caching and the DB will just never be a bottleneck no matter how little I understand it.
It's not as simple as fixing the display setting code. For example WebKit is not happy with non-integer DPRs. It will leave gaps here and there. When those gaps happen is probably rare enough that it's not a show stopper but I suspect lots of other MacOS software has similar issues.

Another tangentially related issue, how do you display a pixel perfect image on a non-integer DPR. For example lets say you want to show 8bit mario in HTML at exactly 16 or some multiple of 16 pixels so that there's not odd integer scaling. it's quite a pain, requires JS, and requires flexible page layout since you won't be able to use "CSS pixels" to decide the size to display it. Possibly that's an argument for never having non-integer DPRs.

I'm a software engineer with over a decade of industry experience. Primarily I am interested in leadership roles, but I am also open to IC positions in an architect-type role. While I've spent most of my time to date with earlier-stage companies (I've been a founding engineer twice, with one large exit), I would prefer my next role be at a larger company.

Yeah, that part confused me to. I'm pretty sure that if I bought a stolen xbox from some guy on a street corner and the Police find me with it, they'd not throw up their hands and say "oh well, I guess you own it now, on your way".

I assume there is a specific legal quirk with property ownership.
Language that is meant to intimidate? It seems pretty clear to me that the purpose of that is to stifle discussion.
Ah, today I learned. I had searched on this a while back but couldn't find provisions for the civil side of things.

I can confirm this, I had now the chance to test it as well. My findings:

- Works just fine on an Intel Mac (tested one with Intel UHD 630).
- Works well with Big Sur (tested on an Intel Mac).
- Does seem to provide headless macs with a HiDPI virtual display with customizable resolution (tested via Screen Sharing, resolution switch on the fly worked, all resolutions are available without any real display connected - should work with VNC as well, but I did not test that).

Game Development in Eight Bits by Kevin Zurawel
I have plenty of utilities that I've written over the years that work perfectly on my machine, but I know they'll probably fail on some else's due to hardcoded file paths and assumptions as to what libraries are installed.

The thing is, there's a big difference between writing something for your use case, and writing something for others.
You should still record anyway. Use it in the court of public opinion.
I reached the front page of HN too (though not #1). My rough stats were:

20-30,000 new visitors

Most were from USA, with europe and India, China behind.

Mobile users were 70-80%

I've been on top of HN and Reddit programming before as well. Though you get a boost, the traffic isnt very sticky. From those 30,000 visitors, I got maybe 20-30 email signups. And the traffic dropped in 1-2 days.

But there are long term benefits, as the link was then shared by other people on Linkedin, Chinese new sites etc, leading to indirectly new visitors over time.
Not taken from real life, just a nice whole number to simplify computations :)
And Fahrenheit 451
In a 2016 audit by the then-Republican Secretary of State Dennis Richardson, 54 potential cases of voter fraud were found, out of more than 2 million votes cast.

it's a bit more involved than that for me (I use Google search, chrome, gmail, calendar, android + play store, sheets, analytics, etc) but yeah I totally can switch. The problem is that that doesn't accomplish what I want, which is for Google to stop doing evil things.
> then terrorists and 9/11

If a kid was afraid of terrorists in 2001, adults would explain to the kid that they needn't be, and that the chances of them dying in a terrorist attack were miniscule. Contrast this adults apparently telling their kids that, yes, they are going to die from climate change. Those are completely different scenarios, and likely have completely different psychological impact on a child.
Key word there, might. Even people who's actual job it is to pick winners and losers do worse in aggregate than an index fund.
>It is really weird to watch these countries to mimic CCP controlled China without all the benefits that CCP managed to pull off.

I can criticise my government which citizens in China are prevented from doing. This puts us a long way apart.
Many would argue this already occurred with Jesus, born from the virgin Mary.
Any scenario where a single company controls an entire marketplace I do believe that company's markup should be limited to 5% to prevent abuse, yes. If there are multiple marketplaces serving the exact same devices, and with equal status, then that's another story, and price-fixing is already illegal, so that situation is covered. Vendor-specific app stores on platforms where third party app stores are not allowed or are centrally discouraged in any way are monopolies and should be treated as such. It isn't enough to say that android apps compete with ios apps -- we aren't talking about selling iphones and android phones, we're talking about selling vendor-specific apps, and these are different ecosystems. Apple is sitting there gatekeeping everything allowed in their ecosystem and charging an extremely hefty toll, in exactly the way a monopoly prefers to, because they have made sure competition is not allowed. On that note, I also think this level of gatekeeping should not be allowed, but that's a whole other rant.

There is nothing Apple (or Google, or Robolox) does to justify more than a 5% cut. 5% is generous. In many cases they don't even take the time to have a human review every submission. You can say they built the platform, but aren't we already paying for that with our 5%?

And to your point, yes, when Zoomers reach 50, we'll see awesome things like companies losing the rights to their IP if they submit 3 bogus DMCA claims, extreme regulation of things like content-ID that threaten the existence of fair use in practice, outright banning of all lobbying and corporate political donations, things like this, etc etc.
In the US I believe your Title Insurance would give you a suitable paper trail as well. That and the registrar.
