The only problem I've had with GMail via Thunderbird is that some orgs block IMAP access.

I've been quite happy with Calendar as well. You don't get real-time sync and all of the Google Calendar goodies like viewing other people's schedules, adding Google Meet links easily, room booking and probably more are missing. But I've found that using it as mostly view-only works well, then I schedule meetings in the webUI.

That being said the calendar interface has been fairly awkward in the past, so I'm really excited about this new version. I'm sure there will be some rough edges but if they can fix the alignment of events with respect to start+end time and make the view/edit dialog less awful it would be a huge win.

Oh the ghost of Steve Clinical-Sociopath Jobs lives on. I remember that price fixing suit very well. Also the employee poaching one. And his paternity case.

Sucks that the only reason the iPod case lost was because nobody showed up in time with an affected device. I think I have one sitting on a shelf that I picked up along the way. Oh well, that's the law process for ya. It happened but Apple got to skate.

Nope, not every, really such an ignorant statement.
Business in El Salvador do not accept Bitcoin because it is superior (or even equivalent) to fiat, but because they are forced to by the government. I do not see how that is a point in favor of Bitcoin having a place in this world.
I got the name wrong, it’s phases https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Phases

In short, every commit can be in one of three phases, secret, draft, and public. Commits transition to public when you push them somewhere someone else might depend on them, and rebase won’t allow you to rebase any public commits.

Commits can of course be manually transitioned back as a “I know what I’m doing step” but this provides a lot of safety for casual rebases.

(Secret just prevents the commit from being accidentally pushed)
Uninformed on this, but if thats true does that mean that a $3 starbucks coffee paid for in bitcoin would incur a $1 bitcoin network fee?

So likes 33% more expensive?

Or is there some system that el salvador developed that acts as a clearinghouse?

Tesla made almost the same profit as Toyota in Q3 but its apparently all vaporware. How does that make sense?

> The Hyperloop was just evil.

How is it evil, here a few facts:

- He said he had an idea for transit system

- He released this pdf: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/blog_images/hyperl...

- He said I don't have time for this, so I'm not gone work on it. Anybody that want's is free to work on it.

- Hosted a student competition for vacuum sleds.

End of story.

It didn't get any public investment at all. Its literally just somebody who released pdf with some ideas.

By what measure is it 'evil'?
It would be interesting see if super apps can be made to work in the US but I'd ask the question: Why hasn't Facebook taken a serious crack at it? It doesn't seem like much of a stretch for their platform.
They tried to connect people, but that didn't make money. So they pivoted to ads, but that didn't bring steady growth. So they fueled participation with tools like the Like button which stoked conflict from the start. Had they been cautious about their steps at any point then problems could have been avoided.

There are also people without purpose who have high happiness and well being. And even if people who happen to have purpose are often happier, it does not follow that the pursuit of purpose will lead to happiness for you.

Why do you see having purpose in particular as your vehicle to obtain happiness and well being? Answering that question (for yourself) may give you some clues as to the direction your life should take.
That's true for most non-dividend paying stocks though, isn't it? The price can only go up if other people buy too since holding the stock itself doesn't generate any income.

What are the risks for generalized financial contagion in the traditional sector? I understand that crypto has been a way for wealthy individuals to hide funds from taxation, so if a bunch of wealthy dweebs lose their shirts I don't particularly care. On the other hand, I don't want to see this sparking another housing crisis or currency/FX crisis.

The industry has almost always been terrible for decades now, this situation is just another drop in the bucket of terrible stories.
> There was a time when investors/the board could fire a CEO making terrible decisions

This is still by far the most common case, and in fact it is probably becoming more common because large index funds have recently increased requirements related to ownership share structuring (https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2017/08/05/sp-and-ftse-russe...).

In this specific case though, the investors knew that Zuck had complete control and they decided to invest regardless, so I do not have any sympathy for their complaints.
Really? KSP2 is not being made by Squad. Squad got bought by Take-Two and Take-Two is having a different studio build the game... or was until they cancelled the contract and poached most that studio's talent. This is a project that seems like it has a high likelihood of failing to capture what made the original one great. I'd wait to see some demos and lets-plays before putting your money down

I used to have an Amazon Seller account on the Individual plan, which has no monthly fees:

https://sell.amazon.com/pricing#selling-plans

Prior to Amazon's brand restrictions, Amazon Marketplace was a popular place for individuals to sell unwanted new and used goods. Selling on Amazon was even easier than selling on eBay, since there was no need to make a new product listing with photos and descriptions. Most of the new goods sold by Individual sellers were not raffle prizes, but unwanted goods such as gifts, items obtained at a discount, and items that were not eligible for free return to the original retailer.

And yet, they tried their damnedest to screw Mick out of a similar amount of money.

It's not just that they wrote some very optimized code -- though it's true they did. They also designed the app in a way that requires very little server infrastructure compared to other chat apps, especially in the per-acquisition days.

For example, they didn't store contacts/images/messages server-side as you see in Telegram, Google ChatAppOfTheWeek, FB messenger, Twitter, IG, etc. All the infrastructure and the folks required to develop and maintain it, simply didn't exist. Similar with the limited amount of data collection they did at the time -- if you don't log it you there is no reason to have a team of people to analyze it. If you don't have ads you don't need an ad sales team. Etc.
I thought the user was the second party.

Generally I agree with you, but with recent political developments I'm wondering if Sunak might be forced into reversing some of that thinking in an attempt to win more votes in the North for when ever the next general election happens...

Ask HN: Are there senior positions where you get to focus purely on programming?
Senior Engineers usually have many duties like hiring, mentoring, discussing the product and communicating with clients. Once that is done, you might get to do some programming.

Are there companies and positions where you get to focus almost fully on programming and mentoring? I assume I'd need to specialize in low-level stuff, where programming expertise is more highly valued and where the product roadmap is less important?

I got into programming because I like programming. Not a fan of all the other stuff.

Apple really did have to push the (Motorola) G4 way more than they'd have liked. A 1999 G4 was a 400MHz G4 on a 100MHz FSB. By the 2003, when they were done with Motorola and and onto the IBM G5, they were running a pair of 1.25GHz G4's on a 167MHz FSB...

I'm sure it was possible to get a lot of speed out of workloads that ran out of the on-chip cache, but I'm equally sure that it was easy to wind up constrained by memory bus bandwidth. I tried to convince myself to buy one and switch to OS X, but couldn't get past the architectural limitations. (Which were worse because I'd also have wanted to run Windows under emulation.)
It's all "who said what" until Mick shows screenshots of timestamps embedded in the audio files - direct proof that Marty outright lied. This could be important if there is any litigation made against Mick for this post if they attempt to destroy him financially by going to court.
Sure, those are problems if the Orion method is used inside the orbital region.

However, if used after escaping from Earth's gravity well to accelerate towards distant destinations, the only remaining issue is international law. Electromagnetic pulses decay as the inverse square law, radioactive fallout would be outside the Earth's gravity well and disperse harmlessly in space, the Van Allen belts are also not near enough to be affected.

The only real risk would be from accidents while lifting that much fissile material to space, which could be mitigated by proper containment vessels (which do add weight and reduce effective payload, but the total lift may still be worth the cost)
You're missing the point, or you didn't read the post.

A 15-year payment is higher, of course, but after 15 years you've paid it all off. After 5 years, much of your payment is going towards principal, not interest. You can do this calculation in a spreadsheet.

The question is: when rates go up, at what point does the new 30-year monthly payment equal the old 15-year, when rates are lower?

> If budget allows, you can make additional payments towards the principal.

I said that. Most people will not, but YMMV.

Consider how this may have helped you to develop your opinion.
eh, I definitely saw what DOOM Eternal was going for in terms of gameplay, but I wasn't really a fan of how it turned out in the end. the previous game was definitely a bit barebones as far as innovative gameplay was concerned but that was OK—it was a solid shooter, and a somewhat surprisingly good DOOM game! some people didn't care for the "arena" combat but I loved it, each arena was evocative of a miniature Quake multiplayer encounter! and then when Arcade Mode was added after release, I spent hours perfecting my runs on a few levels. instead of just iterating on the previous game, DOOM Eternal tried a bit too hard to craft a unique "combat puzzle" design ethos, which was alright, but didn't quite click with me.

one specific part that stuck out like a sore thumb to me—despite being ultimately a pretty minor thing—was that part where there's goop on the ground that prevents you from jumping. when I got to that part, I was like, oh neat, ok, here's a new gameplay element. now I'm gonna have to consider if there's goop on the ground in combat encounters or something going forward, cool. but no, instead, it was just used in that one sequence so you have to trudge through some goop and avoid a few stationary tentacle monsters, and then it never appears again. this stuck with me because it shows how far they've strayed from the classic DOOM design ethos, of giving level-builders tools to design interesting experiences. instead everything felt very setpiecey, very specifically-designed-for-this-encounter.

the lore stuff too felt overwrought as well—I really enjoyed how DOOM (2016) felt in that regard, it felt like you just got plopped into (the cancelled) DOOM 4, but instead of becoming immersed and participatory in the story, Doomguy didn't give a shit about anything except, goddammit, these moron scientists in yet another alternate universe once again did experiments with Hell shit and whoops yet another demonic invasion has arrived as a result—well, you know what to do, time to kick some demon ass regardless, it's what you do best! it was a good twist on the Half-Life 2 worldbuilding formula, sort of leaning on the fourth wall without totally breaking it, recognizing that players don't want a Half-Life-style DOOM 3 again, but rather, they just want to shoot some damn demons.

but then DOOM Eternal decided to play it straight and make all this overwrought lore and crap that I just could not for the life of me be arsed to care about at all. and they could've toned down the fanservice in the hub world to about 20% of what they shipped and it would've been nice without being over-the-top.
Pretty much what you said in the third para is a fine reply IMO, see how it goes from there. Up-front and authentic.

A lot of people reporting these are doing automated scans anyway, so it's not like they spent all day combing your site back to front. You may also receive an automated notification of the same bug through e.g. openbugbounty.org.
There aren't really any states to splinter it into. Maybe if you count Crimea, Kaliningrad, Chechnya, Caucasus, Tatarstan, but those are all relatively powerless. Moscow has absolute control over the economy and military.

A more realistic (but still very unlikely) outcome is a power vacuum if Putin is deposed, which will be filled by another aspiring dictator just like him.
It's good to look at the whole picture like that. A lot of "cost of living calculators" tend to implicitly assume you're spending every take-home dollar on eggs or gasoline, which isn't true for highly-paid software engineers.

I'd propose that you should also calculate how many years of 300k in the Bay Area it'd take to retire in Prague vs years making 100k in Prague.

I ran these numbers a couple years ago, and it was costing me about ~$8000/month to live in the Bay Area. I estimated we could live in Tokyo or much of the USA at a similar quality of life for $4000/month. With $310k/year (taking home $190k) that meant I was able to save about $90k a year. In Tokyo, I could only get companies to offer about $140k at the time, and it was about the same for remote work in the USA. That meant I could save about $50k/year.

You can make a strong argument that saving $50k and living in one location is better than saving $90k in another, but it's good to have all the data at hand to make the best decision for yourself.
Yes, that book in particular. I have Emily Riehl's Category Theory in Context which was not immediately accessible to me at all. Joy of Abstraction aims to be an on-ramp to that.
> According to Piketty, capitalism always leads to rich people running the show, and that always leads to the follies of the wealthy few taking precedence over the material needs of the majority, which eventually leads to some kind of collapse, wherein wealth is destroyed and a space opens for a new society.

This is NOT what Piketty's work says. And I wish people would stop regurgitating it. The entire onus of his book (much contested) was that, in a natural order, private wealth grows faster than an economy overall. Everything past that is pure conjecture. And depending on what your view of what "capitalism" is, this probably supersedes it. The presence of market economies is irrelevant - his dataset included non-market based economies.
Not super sure about how the internals work but iirc this is the flow:

- Eng writes Hack/Python code on backend with a view tag-ish

- Client has native components for NT and Blocks. The native component references tag-ish from above and pulls code / config

- The code / config returned from the backend gets translated into Litho/ComponentKit components (so native Android UI elements) and rendered
Now you're talking about value, which is entirely subjective. As far as GDP, Ethereum spawned an entire new industry with tons of companies paying actual salaries to people (in fiat, if I might add), all of whom bought lattes and cars and houses, and some, I'm sure, also bought Peloton bikes.

Crypto currencies are like stock tickers. The price does not have to have any bearing on the actual value generated by the stock or the company it represents.

There is a speculative element to all markets, including the stock market. And I think you know that as well.
I’m aware of both of these extensions; they’re not actually necessary for most applications. Yes, you trade fidelity with performance, but it’s not that big of a deal. The majority of Rosetta’s performance is good software decisions and not hardware.
How well did that hold up as the CPU clock rates went up and the bus speed really didn't? I'd always assumed it was an issue, but never did have metrics to bear that out.
