I thought it was going to be a security rant. I was expecting the author to say that he was hesitant to trust an unknown site with their debit card information, and was arguing for using something like the Stripe payment gateway.
This specific detail seems to be completely amiss for a lot of the old farts takes in this thread. It demonstrably breaks and fails to pair in the damn documentary!
I would if I could keep up with the videos :).
Sonar beacon. Radio is useless underwater.

It reportedly has radar reflectors and radio, for when it's on the surface.

At 3800 m+ underwater, it'd need to be a powerful beacon. Even most military sonar maxes out around half that.
I think the diagram was just meant to be comprehensive. The writeup itself doesn’t imply all the tool nonsense.
Does that case contain a fan?
I don't mind fleet, even though I don't get on with vscode.
The act of slowing down and pulling to the shoulder is a clear indicator that another car can pass you without having to go super fast like a normal overtake.

It takes far less oncoming traffic distance to pass someone going 20 in the shoulder than 50 in the regular lane.

You could achieve the same effect going 20 in the lane if you could clearly signal you intended to stay slow so the other person could pass.
Has anyone done a scatter plot of PayPal and crypto adoption, on one axis, and estimated cash use, on the other?
Maybe working with employees from different countries can cause a great stress for some teams.

Employees can be upset that you hire oversea. They expect that coworkers there are underpaid, and that you hired these people for that reason. So the image of the company gets a hit even among your workers.
And if you go oversea for workforce, they could think that their job will be outsourced as well in the future. And you won't get the same engagement.

Differences in culture do exist as well. I have heard wild stories about outsourcing in India.

Jet lag is also a thing.

kidgorgeous's benefits. govt subsidies can be also right.
I think the YC themselves funds nothing but local startups (do they ? I haven't tried to fund a startup yet)
Anyway, it's difficult to promote a company that doesn't have any local impact.

However, all the tax and labor laws things are overstated.
Countries like France, Romania, India, or Morocco have efficient consulting firms. Large and small companies from any industry work with them everyday on every kind of subject (IT, engineering, ...)
For those that haven't looked at crypto lately and still think there are few uses, take a look at this: https://thevalueprop.io/

Cryptocurrency is a bad term, they actually make for terrible currencies, but many think they only have value when you can buy coffee with them because of the name.

What they are good at is making finance, ownership, and coordination, especially internationally, much more efficient. Which is far more niche and why the actual usage is rarely covered in mainstream media.
There are a lot of Apple users here and I'm pretty sure that Apple charge $200 for that $1 worth of RAM ;-)

Microsoft controllers, specifically the x360, very much was, other than a decade of real world testing they also tipped millions of other application R&D into it. Logitech rip off from 2005, that would unpair frequently? Completely different fucking ball game.
Sadly true in every country.

Recently been to China, and now that everything requires WeChat, it's extremely convenient if you're local, but as a tourist things are very difficult when you don't have:

- a Chinese phone number;

- a WeChat account with payment activated;

- a Chinese ID card.

Wanna read the menu? Only if you have wechat and an internet connection to scan that QR code (many places have no physical menus).

Wanna pay with cash you've just exchanged at the airport? Sorry, nobody uses cash anymore (many shops won't accept cash at all).

Wanna book a train ticket online before you reach China to plan your trip? Sorry, you've got to be Chinese for that and have a local number.

Wanna pay with your credit card something in a big mall? They might accept it, but their IT system might not always manage to communicate with your bank and it may fail for no reason.

Albeit, the opposite problem is true in Germany: many places only accept cash, or only accept EC cards, aka special credit cards issued by German banks only.
but does a controller fail recoverably? Does the computer recieve old input (up/down) forever untill new controller is pligged in? how long does pairong proceas take? What if it fails at a critical moment?
As has been said for over 12 years
Yes and many people profit from it, if you need viable examples just use the geographic location of Bali, Indonesia.

The way they do it is the same as any content production house. The story is the hook and the patreon and sponsorship is their way of getting financed.

There was also another shelter in NYC doing this as well, but I felt they were doing better with it and animals were getting proper care.

I would also model it among successful sass models because what you want is a subscription based income and patreon is easy for that. I really do believe some production houses do it for the content and have the animal care/recovery second.

I don’t want to link directly as I feel many really are the above example but if you join Bali Facebook groups and then browse the instagram you should get a quick idea of how it works.
Now that at least Windows, Chrome OS, and soon macOS properly support PWAs it will finally get feasible to add web apps to your desktop environment. I know I’ll upgrade to the new macOS ASAP just to get rid of slack.

You think the sun exists ? Whoa. What a sheeple. Wake up ! Everyone in the right circles know that it's just a bit LED planted in our dome to simulate the "real" star, that was destroyed by a conspiration of lizards a dozen generations ago. I mean, sure that info has been diligently suppressed by "the media", but this is en enlightned place here, we all know.

Sadly, I'll have to downvote you to avoid the information spreading too much.

Just posting this... for fun.
It’s worse in a lot of other places around the world. A lot of vendors in Asia won’t accept credit card payments from foreign BIN numbers. Want to buy a train or plane ticket from the local service provider? Too bad. Want to top up a SIM card? Definitely not. A lot of those places also have local payment wallets (like TNG, GoPay, GrabPay…) that are incredibly ubiquitous, and entirely inaccessible without a local bank account. In most of those places it’s the local governments fault rather than the vendors fault specifically, but still incredibly frustrating.
- Culture and language. Even if you compare US vs UK, the UK is much more European in it's approach to work. If you want to exploit people and have them dedicate their life to your company, better stick to US workers.

- Working hours. If you are on the West Coast, good luck finding someone in Europe who will be available at 3pm your time.

- Superiority complex. I get the impression a lot of Americans treat everywhere else like it is a third world country. I work for a US company that has a branch in a post-Soviet EU country, and when the C-levels were discussing expanding our team, they were talking as if there would be a queue of people waiting at the door to interview.

Taxes and employment laws are really not an issue, there are plenty of ways around it, especially if you are a small startup. As others have pointed out, the simplest way is to treat someone as a 1099 independent contractor. You pay them gross, and let them deal with all their own tax responsibilities. If you want proper employees there are agencies everywhere who will deal with this for you, and in a lot of cases government agencies will help you and / or give you tax breaks as they want you to invest in their country.

(Source: As a European, I've worked half my career remotely for US companies)
Having done jail time, in the UK but I guess it's the same for US, I can say that prisons are staffed by people who feel their careers are hostage to their mistakes appearing as newspaper headlines; and also having an uninformed take on technology driven by tabloid headlines. I remember in 2018 being denied access to Bitcoin books that were sent in to me because "it is used in crime" (This was at a time when it wasn't clear that Bitcoin/Crypto actually was just largely a scummy grift and when their was a belief in genuine potential.) They only reacted to Daily Mail headlines. They also banned Spanish language lessons in the belief learning it would enable Cocaine dealing, presumably arranging shipments from South America: the larger potential was lost on them. I'm assuming that here the Ohio prison system is worried about facilitating "hacking" with the same dopey myopic policy analysis endemic in all penal systems.
This reminds me of forms explicitly requesting filling-in your name "exactly as written in your passport", only to directly refuse any non-ascii characters (like any accents).

This is actually true, but I still use PayPal probably 10-20 times a year and I haven't logged into their site for probably 2-3 years, at least whenever I last had to update my payment cards.

The site is suboptimal, it's probably not a great company and I have no idea if they're charging me anything - but the one-tap purchase system just works, and that's all I need. There are other great options in Klarna and similar, but even they give me too many options to coax me into paying later so I inadvertently pay fees. PayPal literally just withdraws from whichever card has sufficient funds at the time, has worked exactly as stated for over a decade, so I really have no incentive to investigate alternatives (especially for sites where my PayPal is already setup, like Steam).
> I am not a supporter of study drugs, except for caffeine

> problems with these drugs are addiction, side effects, and the phenomenon where you have to take higher doses over time to get the same effect

Caffeine is terrible on all these points. I built up such a tolerance in my late teens that I was consuming something like 1000mg/day. The withdrawals were awful when I quit.

NASA isn't producing in-house, they still source from third parties. So, if you want, or need, something from scratch, you pay for the development and industrialisation and then for the parts. And those suppliers are quote often the same ones as they are for the COTS stuff.
You're doing two-factor authentication wrong because of not allowing me to use a single factor only (maybe I do not want to check e-mail and/or to carry smartphone with me and/or your website has too miserable value to me to take care about it).
Unsure when this will actually arrive, based on the avg. distance from sun to earth (~150.000.000km) and the sun wind speed (446km/s as of writing) my approximation is roughy 3.9 days of total travel time.

Anyone here more knowledgeable wanting to correct me? :)

I think you can follow it all the way back to the taxpayer/voter honestly.

Ask people how long search crews should look for migrant boats, citing the cost, youll get some very mixed responses

Ask people how long search crews should look for a submersible containing a billionaire, his son and whoever else and it will be longer on average
How I understand it:

A mock is a set of fixed data; sometimes people even load these from YAML documents and the like. They're often re-used for different tests.

A fake is a "fake" object created when needed, with the parameters you need.

Mock:

user = load_user_mock()
article = load_article_mock()
run_test(user, article)

Fake:

user = newUser(Name: "foo", Email: "foo@example.com") # Or generate random data
article = newArticle(User: user, Title: "bar")
run_test(user, article)

The difference is somewhat subtle, but I often find mocks very inconvenient because you can't "just" change one without lots of stuff falling over. It's also much harder to do something "special" with them for that one test.
Talking about a more dance game like view of the grand staff. Imagine the bars scrolling right to left and the beat line staying put.
You are tarring conservatives with a pretty broad brush there.

Some of them, when they say "Free Speech" are actually concerned with being able to express climate misinformation and spread conspiracy theories about scientists to aide their corporate masters.
What's the point of this article? Throw stones at the billionaire?

For many living in 3rd world countries, the normal stuff that rich Silicon Valley techies do with money is comparable to what this billionaire is doing to normal people.

AIUI, copying key data to Apple's servers is part of the iphone platform. It's what good apps do — good in the sense that they achieve user happiness and utility based on the platform's strength and weaknesses.

Assuming my understanding and description above is reasonable, «WebAuthn is an awesome concept with terrible execution» really means «WebAuthn is an awesome concept and the iphone platform has terrible execution», and the execution is general. Passkeys is just webauthn done as the platform suggests.

I don't think "chief architect" is a title at Microsoft, and it's probably worth noting that unless you're at the partner level, your pay at Microsoft will be pretty terrible compared to the rest of the tech industry.

That said, Alex's title appears to be principal engineer at GitHub, which is roughly equivalent to principal at Amazon in both expectations and comp. I worked at AWS for just shy of six years, and I can tell you that the person who created Firecracker -- which underpins huge portions of AWS's technology -- was at the same level, and while they were promoted shortly thereafter, they didn't receive a bonus (because comp packages at that level don't include bonuses at all). So, yeah, Alex is justified in sharing these details publicly, but this is just how it works in tech. (And, frankly, all the underpinning infrastructure that supported him wasn't his work -- he might have come up with Copilot, but would he have been able to without the work of thousands of others?)
Historical note: Obama spoke at the Arizona State University commencement in 2009 in regards to this "New American University" idea and the Obama Scholars Program, it was one of the first things he did as president a few months in. [1] It was pretty interesting to graduate from my graduate program and see Obama at the commencement but the idea is a solid one. The appearance at the commencement in regards to the "New American University" idea made it apparent how education would be a focus and Obama made financial aid available to everyone easier, and more balanced, with FAFSA.

Some amazing work is coming out of a public state university and that is exciting, in sustainability, in technology, in space exploration (Rovers) and many other things.

ASU and community colleges, which recently are able to give out bachelors degrees, are some of the best parts of Arizona and bright spots on how education can be competitive both in quality and cost, as well as available to all that want to pursue. [2]

Via the pumping lemma, you can easily prove that testing whether a number is a prime number cannot be implemented as a regular expression.
Idk. I have electron programs running which take up much less residual memory. I do have slack running in my browser thou and the whole browser running slack and outlock360 and a bunch of other tabs uses 600MB of residual memory of which ... 324MB is used by slack ... so I would say it's more of an slack then a electron problem. AFIK the overhead of electron is around 100MB per-program this is still bad, sure, but far less worse then what you describe.

Having to give your personal details just to see that the shipping to your country isn't worth (or not available at all) and then sending me an email to say that I potentially forgot to checkout some stuff in my shopping card is the reason I don't even try to fill my details and try and find an alternative shop.

Selecting a country and entering the post code to find out the shipping cost is slightly old-fashioned but works very well.
> Popping stimulants is commonplace in industries like software and finance. One survey of 6,500 American college students reported that 14% had used the drugs for non-medical reasons.

I have never met anyone taking such drugs (I'm French, not American) and would put my kids through hell if I ever found out they took anything. I'd rather they drop out of school than do any of this.

That said... does 14% qualify as "commonplace"?
I think the recent clones of the moog studio3 devices must have been part of it. The clones are less than half the price of the originals, and are arguably better.

The most obvious reason is taxes and complications with the IRS. The current legal immigration and taxation systems have not foreseen that people from other countries are not living in the U.S. while working in the U.S. The assumption is that once you’re hired by a company in the U.S., you are either working there with a local work permit (for the U.S.), on a work visa, or sent to a different country coming from the U.S. (being either U.S. citizen or having the U.S. residence permit).

I've already been asked by some silicon valley guy on Discord if France did tech and had universities.

Like come on, Europe is not stuck at La Belle Époque and Victorian Era. And even then, it had tech.

And despite not having a job there atm, they want to stay in California.
I told him there are plenty of well paid IT jobs in Europe, but apparently the USA is a special place, and you have to be pay uni debt, and stuff like that.
The ocean can’t have GPS because GPS relies on time of flight calculations for radio waves (aka light) traveling at the speed of light through air. The ocean, to the surprise of many, is not composed of air, and is really, really, exceptionally good at scattering light. What you could have, instead, is an acoustic positioning system that would rely on fixed transponders that would allow time of swim calculations for sound waves traveling through water. This would be phenomenally problematic, as you’d need a near perfect understanding of confounding factors like salinity, temperature, depth, etc to accurately model the incoming reply… you’d also drive the whales and fishes to consider well justified total warfare against the really loud and insensitive terrestrial creatures they vastly outnumber.
Cheers, mate! I just committed to using Postgres for a project at work, and apart from an SQL syntax bootcamp it's uncharted territory to me.
It would of course be possible to regulate OceanGate out of business, and I sympathize with the desire to make sure people are sufficiently informed about the risks, which is hard.

But I agree with GP: there is something off about the calls for regulation here. Fundamentally, people should have the right to risk their lives in crazy expeditions to the bottom of the sea or the top of a mountain, and charging someone else money to be taken along does not change that.
You're going almost 4000m underwater.

Scroll to 7:47 in this presentation[1] and see that the different domains within the Netflix vertical are all part of the same large API, accessible from the same API gateway.

People here are making an assumption that the entrypoint to Netflix's microservice ecosystem is only for the "TV App". No -- their other domains (incl. talent and production) also depend on the same API gateway. When they upgrade the API gateway to GraphQL for one app and you might as well do it for all apps to get the benefits of the GraphQL toolset.
