A _scientific_ calculator? Because many cheap calculators will just overflow and not use the scientific notation.

You severely overestimate the... amount of data people retain from school (to put it in nice terms).
Are you really suggesting it's not possible for an organization to misallocate funds, or that it is not possible to determine if an organization is misallocating funds without running the same organization or a substitutable replacement organization?

Wikipedia (the online encyclopedia) can be the best in its class without the Wikimedia foundation being beyond criticism. 99% of what makes Wikipedia great was already there a decade ago, with exponentially less cost.

As a contractor you are free to incorporate wherever you want.

I wouldn't work from e.g. Iran, or you could get sued to death when your customer is indicted for violating US sanctions, but yeah why would your employer care?

Oh, because maybe they have various insurance and partner contracts that speak about your physical location.

If your contract doesn't say where you are, then work from anywhere, and follow whatever laws.

If your contract does say where you are, then violate the contract an your own risk.

I'd wager if Adam didn't have over 100k followers on Twitter, and wasn't a big deal in the web development community (most have heard of either him, or at least TailwindCSS), he'd get the same treatment as the OP, which is "you did one or more things wrong that's listed on this huge page of conditions, go figure it out."
This is trash. I hire engineers all over LATAM. I could not care less if they pay their taxes. I do not pay any taxes in LATAM. My company does no business in LATAM. What are they going to do? Sue my company? LOL.

Thank you! We're really excited about covering the entire dev lifecycle using this approach. Re: routing, do you make use of a library that is directly included in each service? We've seen an approach in the wild where such logic is embedded into gRPC interceptors and HTTP middleware. Curious to hear how you thought about the choice between that and using the mesh.

They do indeed. And those still damage trailers and require semis to slow way down. The aprons also get damaged by the heavy trailers since they're not built to the same standards of roadways.
Your concerns are valid. And you're free to commit to projects that align with your values.

To me, the immutability of an actual blockchain is non-negotiable. I've given up on Ethereum after the DAO fork out of principle.

But that's the beauty. Unlike our current financial system, you're not bound to use Ethereum. You have sovereignty and can make your own choices (and drive change).

Just FYI, the biggest problem for crypto fraud is phishing, not theft. A thief can't get your private keys from a hardware wallet. And there are many, many, MANY strategies you can use against phishing.
> It's not a matter of hiding. Companies do not want to know.

If a company doesn't want to know you shouldn't be doing business with that company.

Sure some of these cases are John Doe wanting to live as a secret expat but not all.

In a remote world, you have to know. There are numerous fake employee scams that have a number of different outcomes that present exactly in this manner.

1) Steal or forge a decent looking identity.
2) Have a face that interviews and attends some of the early weeks on camera then slides back to off camera
3) Profit whether it's theft or double-dipping or code farms

This isn't a pretend scenario. It's active.

Depending on your vertical and internal zero trust architecture a breach of this nature could be devastating.

So sure, maybe that employee is lying about their location to soak a big salary under a cheap cost of living but maybe they are something much darker and you can't leave that stone unturned.

SLAs only entitle you to a refund, not compensation for lost income. If you’re not making at least four times as much off a service as you pay for it, you really need to think about why you use that service.

Power can go out. Promises from the power company don’t fix that. Only backup power does.
I see the concern here from a level perspective so I’d probably forbid it too just to be safe.

That being said…I think this line of thinking is probably mostly a nothing-burger at this point. My experience is that anything sufficiently complicated that Copilot outputs is likely to be somewhat wrong.

I’ve only really found it to be (quite) useful for speeding up small things like if statements, switches/matching, short documentation etc, which I don’t think you can copyright anyways.
I wonder to what degree we can expect customization options in the future to forbid any complex code from being generated, or to constrain Copilot to helping with specific whitelisted

Perhaps, extending that last thought, there’s an ideological argument to be made that code that is so simple an AI can generate it isn’t worthy of being protected under copyright law anyways. I don’t know.

Yesterday I had to drive at night in awfully intense rain and I was very close to stopping because it was at the very limit of acceptable safety for me. My night vision is not so good, cars in the opposite direction were blinding me with their headlights, and road markers become invisible in the rain in Germany (not in US or Italy, I don't know why this is so bad in Germany - different paint?).

Self driving doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be better than me (including knowing when to stop!).

You don't generally need a work permit though, unless you are taking a job with a local employer. Generally they will have rules for how long you can stay in the country while working for a foreign employer. As long as you maintain tax residency wherever you are "from" nobody bats an eye.

If what you really want to do is live and work in one country while pretending that you live and work in another one, I don't see why either country should facilitate that.

It's easy enough to do that "properly" too, form a company or self-employed tax status in the country you are living in, and invoice the company in the country you work for. Then they aren't in a compliance issue and you are paying taxes where you work and live.

What's the problem?

The problem for pedestrians is the flow of traffic never naturally stops, so you are either waiting forever or dodging cars.

In my state, counties also assess income tax. The largest city has lower tax levels for people who work in the city but live elsewhere.

Our payroll app needs to know what days you are working from home. This way, if you work in one county and live in another, the county you live in will get their share of the income tax.

I think this is going to be a huge problem in a year or 2 when cities & counties see a large drop in income and try to figure out how to "fix" it.

> Locals [...] are pissed with these "digital nomads" (read: illegal immigrants) who upend the local economy and pay no taxes

Wait, aren't digital nomads literally bringing money in from another country? They pay taxes on everything they consume, yet they don't take the money from inside the country, they bring it in from the outside.

Why exactly would they be pissed?
I was trying to find a simple API gateway I could run as a single docker container on a single host. I ended up using a node-red workflow instead, because I was unable to get any of the options available to me working behind Traefik as my proxy. I tried APIMan first, then APISIX, then API Umbrella (used and developed by US government agency, apparently), and finally Kong. I got the closest with Kong, but decided to just give node-red a try and it worked like a charm as a proxy for another API.
That still wouldn't absolve companies of the obligation to know where employees are working from. Employment laws and worker protections vary from one state and city to another. To give one example, I had a friend that was fired from his Arizona job in ~2015 when his boss found out he was gay. If that friend had been working from California instead, he would have had legal protections.
There used to be a popular teriyaki place in Seattle that I frequented. Nicknamed "scary terri" because the neighborhood was [still is] notorious for street crime and the clientele were weird. It was always crowded though, the food was cheap and good. It wouldn't seem like a money laundering business by the standard of "but nobody eats here".

Turns out the owner was a fence, buying and selling stolen goods. The police busted them a few years back.

PCIe actually includes stand-by power, so this card using usb-c PD and PoE instead would suggest idle power consumption is significant.

> It uses about 2-3 Watts at idle, and 4-6 watts when you're remoted in controlling the screen.

I think ATX only requires around 5 W minimum for 5 Vsb so yeah…

It’s kinda hard to measure the power use of Ilom, something like an AST2500, for a number of reasons. They do get slightly warm, so the chip itself probably burns around 1 W. But system power use when on is of course also increased due to the various links (PCIe, NIC links etc.). Plus around .5-1 W for the always-on Ethernet link - EEE and a quiet management network would help here.
You still have a Single Point of Failure. ChargeBee could shut you down too.

You are right that redundancy is important, but redundancy either in cloud vendors , payment processors or even high availability of your app takes time and effort with no immediate ROI as apposed to buliding features , better customer service.

When running a small business you always take lot of risks by cutting short processes large organisations will have. Judging which ones to take and which to mitigate is a not a easy skill, many times people get it wrong .

New best alternative to chalk, kleur, color.js
ANSIS is the new Node.js library for formatting text in terminal with ANSI colors & styles.

Why yet one lib?
- up to x3.5 faster than chalk
- dist code is 3 KB only
- supports both ESM and CommonJS
- named import of colors
- chained syntax: ansis.red.bold('text')
- nested template strings: red`A ${cyan`B`} A`
- ANSI 256 colors and Truecolor (RGB, HEX)
- CLI variables NO_COLOR FORCE_COLOR and flags --no-color --color
- strip ANSI codes
- TypeScript friendly
- zero issues

See please the comparison and benchmarks of most popular libraries:
- colors.js
- colorette
- picocolors
- cli-color
- colors-cli
- ansi-colors
- kleur
- chalk
- ansis

Here's another one from Scotland. They don't have to take extra space. The version shown above only has extra space because they installed pedestrian islands - a nice touch but not required in many intersections.

Additionally, there is frequently extra space in the existing intersection. From parking lanes, shoulders, etc.

First, buying on a single salary is always difficult, because you are competing primarily against dual-income households.

Second, the problem seems to be chasing the hottest job markets. Those places are often unaffordable, because there is too much money floating around. They are good for people near the top, who can get very high compensation, as well as those near the bottom, who are happy to accept any job. People in the middle often find better deals in places with fewer opportunities and lower costs of living.
I’ve seen huge roundabouts with traffic lights and crossing lanes and all sorts of fun stuff.
Sometimes when I want to depress myself, I try to imagine the total collective engineering-hours ever wasted re-implementing standard OS or browser controls, just because a designer did not like the aesthetic choices of the OS or browser vendor. When I think back to the least intrinsically rewarding programming tasks I've ever had, they were all along the lines of "XyzOS's combo box drop-down is ugly. Here is a Photoshop of how we think a combo box should look. Go write 10K lines of code to re-implement the functionality we could otherwise get with one line."
> upend the local economy and pay no taxes
I understand that taxes are important to maintain local infrastructure, but up to a certain point, isn't it beneficial having a few people literally bringing in foreign money to pay for the same products and services other locals pay for? There are places that officially encourage that behavior.

I understand how that might eventually upend the local economy - it's called gentrification and while digital nomads certainly contribute to it, it surely can't be fully blamed on them. Places where people want to live at will eventually get gentrified in some shape or form.

The logic behind labeling digital nomads as illegal immigrants completely eludes me. I genuinely don't understand why you would make that assumption.
The same with me. I plummeted from 9k a day to 5.5k a day and it has taken a toll on my mood.
Mexico is starting to get a lot stricter on FMMs and IMF agents are getting reticent to issue them for maximum term like they used to. I'm told this is a result of IMF getting really frustrated by the number of people who are repeatedly taking out 180 day FMMs with only token returns to the US to avoid getting permanent residence - which is not very difficult but means the tax collector knows you're there!

Just a reminder while this may seem like a Good vs. Evil clash between OP and Stripe we will never have all the facts. OP does not enumerate their business model or go into details about their customers and transactions. Stripe absolutely should not share internal customer information.

While we may see Stripe chime in the thread, and make summary judgements, we will almost surely not have total visibility (and thus closure) in this case.
You are the product not a customer. The customer is their investors, you just provide transactions to skim on their behalf.
I don't think it's unreasonable to think that a blog post has an easier time gaining traction than a HN comment outside of HN users.
Not going to happen (would be complicated and makes tax revenue collection harder and reduce govt income while enabling widespread fraud). Also worth considering this is risky from an employer perspective
as having employees based in unexpected places also means unexpected, possibly large liabilities eg local sales tax, employee rights etc. Specifically for US firms, foreign employment rights differ greatly and are often stronger in ways US firms find surprising eg around annual and parental leave. For example, a someone working from, say, France for a US firm with EU retail customers could quite possibly trigger a EU tax enforcement action against the company if it’s not on top of things. Or they could quite reasonably avail themselves of their much better French leave and competition rights.

When Adobe acquired Macromedia, they extinguished an entire paradigm of design tool: "design tools that create software." Back in the booming 90's, this paradigm was _the future_.

Through that acquisition, Adobe shoe-horned the world into a paradigm of "hand-offs," and Figma's leadership (namely, Sho) doubled down on the "hand-off" vision. "Play Adobe games."

The future for collaborating on software design & build looks more like Flash, and less like Photoshop (though obviously, not quite like either.) "Exactly as anti-innovative."
That's good on you. And yet, obviously, not what is happening on average with crypto mining.
They've actually forked Ethereum to keep the original mined version, ETHPoW ($ETHW). They'll keep mining on the original PoW chain as long as it remains profitable.

https://blockworks.co/proof-of-work-ethereum-fork-pow-rally-...

I'd expect the value of ETHW to crash fairly rapidly, though, because there are not many buyers interested in buying into a deprecated chain without official support or ecosystem buy-in, and lots of sellers who need to sell their mined ETHW to fund mining operations. Then we'll see miners shut off and leave the network, as the mining rewards can no longer support the electricity costs of mining. At some point it might get 51%'d, but at that point nobody will care.
In my testing for the video, the card uses 2-3W at idle, and 4-6W when streaming video to a remote browser session.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but remote work aside, there are many second- and third-tier cities in the US that will pay a comfortable living wage relative to the cost of living and give you outdoor recreation options; pretty much just pick any population center that's not big enough to show up on the map when zoomed far out. Bonus points in areas deemed socially unacceptable to those living in coastal urban areas, because you get a discount on the number of people wanting to live in such places.

Unless your opinion is that it's a human right to be able to take free public transit 20 minutes to breathtaking mountains and 20 minutes the other way to pristine beaches and have it be 75 degrees and sunny every day, and everyone is paid a "living wage" no matter what they do?
