It's really hard to "accidentally" not make payroll. This shouldn't be something that sneaks up on you. If you feel the founder deserves the benefit of the doubt, I would suggest reaching out to them first before doing anything else.

You will probably never see the money regardless (lawyer/court costs, squeezing blood from a stone, etc) but it might be worth it to you to make the (very valid) point anyway.

What icons have ever not been skeuomorphic?

I hate skeuomorphism when it's used wantonly, beyond the purpose of communicating how the UI works. Like that first version of the Apple Podcasts app that had a reel-to-reel animation¹, for example.

But icons... it's like the definition of the term.

> I forget whether it's cool or not this week.

I think it might be trending upward again. We all hated it in 2012, then the pendulum swung so far toward "flat design" that I (we?) would love to have too much of it again, if the alternative is not enough of it.

EDIT: Just thought about it some more and realized some icons are good abstractions of a non-physical thing. Play, Pause, and the rest of audio controls, for example. And of course Back and Refresh are just arrows.

But for something like "settings", or "info", you're going to have to draw some sort of picture for that. Gears and lists of sliders are two already-recognizable things that people know means "guts of the machine" and "control console panel thing".
Disclaimer: this is obviously not legal advice, but I have been involved in similar GDPR adventures at my company.

> Does that mean I should be looking to host my DB with a non US company?

Yes, if you want to isolate yourself from any ramifications in the Safe Harbour/Privacy Shield/Paper Tiger #3 diplomatic processes.

> Does signing a DPA and putting some clause in our privacy terms be enough to be compliant?

Probably not (assuming you're referring to a DPA with a US-based company), but not having a DPA is not an option. In any case, the fallout from a total breakdown of transatlantic data transfers will be sufficiently large that fines will probably not be given without sufficient notice.

> Would I be breaking GDPR laws if a EU user was traveling outside the EU and this triggered a cache into a Redis outside the EU?

No, unless your outside-EU Redis is controlled by a different company than the inside-EU Redis. In which case you should sign a DPA with the outside-EU provider as well, with the same caveat as above.

> What is considered sufficient security to store email addresses of our users? Should I be encrypting email addresses in the database

No, but you will want to set up data access auditing for such fields, and possibly something like dynamic data masking so employees can not easily access the raw data. Normal at-rest data encryption of the entire datastore (and backups!) should be sufficient.

The menhir parser generator is extremely good and doesn't quite have an equivalent in the Rust world.

But other than that, in no particular order:

- While it has its downsides, OCaml's module system (and functors especially) is extremely powerful and allows for all sorts of higher-kinded abstractions that are currently out of reach of Rust's type system, especially when combined with first-class modules

- No monorphisation means more reasonable compile times

- Some of the advanced type system features (GADTs, extensible types, polymorphic variants) are really quite nice

(but really, menhir is great, and I miss it whenever I need to parse things in another language)

> We need to crush the idea of victim hood as a privilege.

"Victim hood as privilege" is a right-wing strawman of the idea of intersectionality. You're suggesting throwing a punch at an obvious feint.

Intersectionality is simply the idea that certain groups experience unique configurations of more general problems, and that counteracting those configurations contributes to resolving the general case.

Do you think a coal miner with black lung who organizes for compensation on that basis is claiming "victim hood as privilege"? I hope not. It should also be clear that coal miners organizing for their own workplace safety helps ALL workers. That's why OSHA exists after all.

The same applies to racial issues.
KFServing
Yeah, weekly. (Can confirm.)

I always felt like it sounded like it was saying "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon on a Tuesday" to me. Lunch time.

Also always felt like around noon on Tuesdays, we were completely vulnerable; if anything were to happen I would have heard the siren, and wandered outside looking for grub.

There is a subset of San Franciscans that do not hear the siren, too. On a pretty common basis we'd discover someone in the office who had "never heard the siren", somehow. I'm not exactly sure how. It's easily audible inside in the FiDi, and it was audible in the North Beach when I worked there.
Where were all the commenters when YouTube was silently breaking (old, Trident-based) Edge, Firefox and Safari with user-agent detection completely ignoring actually supported browser capabilities? Somehow they are able to get away with this while other companies don't.

Faking universities is not a new thing. These have long been known to push fraud involved with paper and certificate mills. Furthermore, even some state authorities have faked universities:

And I am personally glad for that, for one! This means it's accessible to more people without requiring specialized knowledge, and while, yes, I think that always triggers an internal reaction from most of us when it comes to thinking about field dilution, it's almost a necessary tradeoff (like, say, the uncertainty principle) when expanding the field out to more people.

So, hurray! We've made it more accessible. And hopefully in years to come, even very much more so! <3 :)

> It matters whether you are asking "how many" (cardinals) or "in what position" (ordinals)

But "even" and "odd" are all about whether you can partition something into an equal number of pairs or not. If you're asking "in what position" (ordinals), you've explicitly said you're not in the realm of counting sets of things. I would argue division makes no sense in the realm of ordinals! Everyone is saying the transfinite ordinals alternate even-odd, but those are exactly the numbers where we've stated we're only interested in position, not counting. It's not clear to me why "dividing" an ordinal number into equal pairs makes any sense. (Whereas it makes perfect sense for cardinal numbers.)

> are worth avoiding so you don't get stuck with somebody else's framework.

Modal eng here. Modal is not setup as a framework. Think of more as Python-defined serverless infrastructure that has native support for the Python runtime. This is in some places called "Infrastructure from code", as opposed to "Infrastructure as code" which means just source-controlling K8s YAML and Cloudformation.

A major benefit of this approach is that the cloud becomes part of your dev loop, as opposed to doing `docker build`, `docker push`, `kubectl`, etc just to ship a change to a GPU.

In the script I posted Modal APIs are mixed in with standard Python code for brevity, but many customers just keep their code in their own modules and have a `modal_infra.py` module that defines the serverless infrastructure.

Eric adams does recommend confronting a car thief I guess. Really it just depends on the situation, plenty of New Yorkers would be game. Might even prefer it to hoping the cops deal with it. Personally if my only choice was ask cops for help I'd consider the car gone. I can round up a few of the boys and confront the thief given an hour or two, and at least I'd get my car back. No idea if NYPD is as worthless as my pd though.
For us (also remote only in Canada, though there are offices in other countries), we just use Fedex, IT generates a shipping label, we package up the machine, print the label from IT and drop it off with Fedex (most Staples I would think), easy peasy.

skins fan might refer to this show https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0840196/ which is a British drama series

having worked with Brit, Irish, US, Oz & Kiwi entrepreneurs and also with companies in Europe I got stiffed on my invoices many times - it was a hard lesson.

If the founders first language is English you're a lot more likely to get stiffed on your work. I've learned to factor this risk into my quotes over the years.

On the other hand, the number of times I got stiffed by companies on the continent is close to nil. "Close" because the one time it did happen the CEO was a Brit. Not paying bills when you're in trouble isn't just an American thing. It is a problem with many companies when they're run by native English speakers (US, UK, CA, Australia, NZ).

But you can easily spot the bad apples with some experience: They will never agree on a 30% upfront of your fees. Not because they don't trust you with your work but because they expect to get stiffed the same way they stiff people.

I think you are too tinfoil hat to think they planned it. They don't need to engineer what is happening, it was obviously going to happen at some point.

And then they acquire whatever fails.

The evidence for Jesus's existence is about as strong as for any individual of the era, excepting some very prominent Romans. The standards of evidence for ancient history are necessarily somewhat looser than for modern history because so much evidence has been lost over the years.

If you spike the voltage on other pin you'd most likely trigger ESD protection which is just a diode that's connected to one of the power rails, and spike the chip's power supply.

Similarly, I ask it to write simple scripts I could write myself but can’t be bothered to. I can understand the script and verify that it compiles and runs, so this is safe.

I don’t ask it for a step-by-step guide for brain surgery.

There is no alternative to AirTags which doesn't take up additional space or come with major downsides. The way AirTags work is by using low power ultra wideband communications to respond to what are effectively ping packets which get sent out by apple devices in the area. The devices get the AirTag's ID and the distance and submit it to Apple for processing. Apple uses the distance information to trilaterate the AirTags and sends this information to the owner of the tag.

As such, AirTags only work because of Apple's market position and extremely wide reach. Put simply, Apple is abusing their control over their devices and the trust their users have placed in them to perform a form of mass surveillance.
