> I wonder how that latter price compares to the price in the US

My guess is not favourably for the US. My wife was diagnosed with MS about a year before we moved to America and, since I knew we were moving and was thinking about insurance, I asked the pharmacist once what they billed the govt per dose (monthly). We paid $40 out of pocket and the govt paid $1300 AUD.

Our insurance in the US pays nearly $10k USD/m for the same drug.
One thing I noticed about having different tiers and free options: government institutions will be required to acquire whatever the cheapest version, even if they have tons of money and your product directly supports their mission/goals. So if you want to have government customers, realize that their duty to taxpayers may prevent them from purchasing if you have a free version.
That alone wasn't the cause: what enabled their success (as far as their ability to rebuild their war machine) was the ineffectiveness of the enforcement of those reparations, and the victors simply allowing the German economy to build more war materiel. Debilitating reparations can be done, but you have to maintain military power and use it to prevent the losing nation from refusing to pay, or building up its military again. The victors failed to do this and the result was another war. Honestly, I'm not sure what they were thinking. It's like throwing people in prison with hard labor for a crime, and then leaving the prison doors and gates wide open and firing all the prison guards and expecting the inmates to not escape.
This has been a repeated headline for a while, but it's still clickbait IMO. The jackets will not 'be illegal'. Rather so-called forever chemicals are being regulated. The article it links to to cite 'illegal' says that analysts think that policy makers are considering new policy..

> Safer States’ 2024 analysis of anticipated state legislation addressing toxic chemicals and plastics across the country, suggests that PFAS “forever chemicals” could be banned in more uses than ever in 2024 state bills. Overall, at least 36 states will consider more than 450 bills on toxic chemical and plastics related policies. The analysis further finds that banning “forever chemicals” will continue to dominate in 2024, with at least 35 states introducing policies. Other significant legislation anticipated for 2024 will address toxic plastics, safe drinking water, and hazardous chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products.

Overall I wouldn't be surprised if Goretex and co PR teams aren't deliberately writing and spreading articles like these - it probably leads to a big jump in sales each time one goes around.
1. using password managers for TOTP defeats the purpose of TOTP as a second factor

2. using password managers for TOTP is useful

Both can be true simultaneously.

The point of "something you have" is that it is "literally infeasible" to compromise your account without physically robbing you of your yubikey-equivalent. That automatically excludes >99% of the population that aren't within X miles of you from being able to potentially attack you.

Using this definition, both SMS and TOTP already fail, but at least one can approximate it by storing the TOTP on a physical device in a way that blocks casual export.

If you store it in a (non-local/backed up) password manager, you completely give up the pretense that "it is impossible to compromise your account without physically robbing you of your yubikey-equivalent". Someone from across the world can now compromise you without leaving their room.

Now again, just because it doesn't meet the "2FA threshold", doesn't make it useless. But it is also true that it doesn't provide the level of security that 2FA is supposed to provide.
Wikipedia disagrees:

"In February–March 2021, South Korea continued to omit North Korea's "enemy" status from the South Korean military's White Paper after downgrading the status of Japan"

It gets worse from there.

Karl Kraus saw it coming. Huxley apparently not so much.
I’m at a point where my hobbyist time in college has translated into excellent product development at work. And now I just…don’t want to write code in my free time. That muscle is getting suitably flexed and I am using my non-work hours for numerous other fulfilling purposes. Maybe one day when I have an entrepreneurial idea worth pursuing I can hit the grindset, but right now is the moment for other things.
This looks great, what is the protocol and commands? Is it redis compatible, or redis-like?
Fascinating! Thank you for responding. Please know that my interest isnt in perpetuating a cycle of anger or hate, but primarily to see if we can somehow find ways to discuss difficult topics online.

Do note, I am not condemning Israel here.

I do not want to change your worldview or anything like that, nor am I litigating your lived history. This would be silly and rude.

That said, you have stated that there is no chance your position could be changed. Unfortunately expected.

So given that your position cant be changed, and I have gotten what I needed, let me help a bit by addressing a few assumptions made -

1) The Haaertz article is inaccessible to me, so I do not have any input from that individual biased against Netanyahu.

2) The second article is from CBC.ca, so I assume is also free of the dismissal causing bias. The quotes are from there.
This really resonates with me. I have never stayed in the same place for more than 3 years my entire life and also haven’t been able to form any long term friendships.

With all the moving, I’ve pretty much lost my ability to care for people. The scariest part was realizing I no longer felt any sense of family after being made to stay with strangers for 2 years between age 10-12.

I still don’t know how to cope, or perhaps have no need to cope. I know something is wrong with me but feel no need to fix it.
You grossly increase the chance of a lemon with your strategy.

Why would anyone sell a near-new car for 30%+ off *unless* they knew the vehicle is crap?

--------

Buying lightly used (~3 year or ~5 year) cars is likely the superior strategy. There's a set of rich buyers who want to keep up with the latest trends. This leads them to leasing vehicles for 2, 3, or so years. Other times, they have enough income that they can just buy new entirely but sell within 5 years when nicer technology comes out.

There's likely nothing wrong with a 3-year-old car. Its just that the lease is up so they're moving on.

-----------

In contrast, think of the kind of person who buys new at like $40,000 and then turns around and immediately tries to sell the vehicle 6 months later for $25,000. There's probably something very wrong with that car.

Anyone selling just a few months after buying is someone who actively regrets their decision to buy.

Since pfa has been banned for non-commercial use (I think?) I currently use nikwax, which is a fluoride-free water repellant.

It will abide for a while, but the next software update will turn it back on. This happens every single update.
It's not really "both" in the case of the US; as with most developed nations, the US devotes a certain percentage of its national budget to military stuff. With the US, it appears gargantuan, but that's because the US economy is the largest in the world by GDP as measured in USD, so of course it's going to look like a lot. But there's a big difference between how much the US spends today on the military vs. in WWII during its wartime economy, or Nazi Germany during that same time.
Electrospun polyurethane is the future of waterproof, breathable jackets and GoreTex is a marketing thing.
Japan is likely potential target for China after Taiwan is captured. I think there will be some false starts but we have to get back to making top of the line semiconductors in the States or we're going to really regret it in the future.
I have a couple Github repos with a lot of stars and a bunch of pull requests and issues. I used to work actively on them.

However in the past 7 months I've been constantly being told at work that what I do isn't enough, without constructive feedback. Pretty much every single 1:1 is "you're not doing enough" and no action items, not enough compute to do what I should be doing, being left out of meetings, and no access to the data I need. Then the next meeting and another "you're not doing enough". Not one "what's blocking you" and "thanks for telling me, I'll get to work on helping you unblock that". It's so brain draining that coding is no longer fun and I've lost a lot of motivation to maintain things even outside of work.
As a researcher, my workflow is Quarto+ R studio + Zotero + Pen and paper (And MS Word for my supervisor). I tried many productivity apps, but there weren't for me. I realize that I spent most of my time in Zotero and R studio. So naturally it clicked. Now I'm trying to optimize the time spent to make the process seamless and faster.
I have never used deno. But I think they did what they should have done in the first place. Like npm support. I think they have learned now that you should not make decisions with a group of hipster developers. this is a good thing.

Yeah this is one of those perspective things. I’m on a once-a-month regimen of eyeball injections to stave off macular degeneration. I’d trade it in a heartbeat for allergy-reducing injection. But even my case feels “routine” now.

Plenty of corporate and government institutions stand ready to "solve" those problems…
My understanding is that Google does not sell user data to 3rd parties. It's much more profitable for Google to sell targeted ads that indirectly use that data (without giving the data away), and also avoids the potential legal and PR ramifications of selling user data, especially since users trust Google with a lot of their personal data.

They might use your viewing history to target ads in other places. And they definitely use aggregate/anonymized viewing patterns to suggest similar videos people might like, but I don't see an issue with that.

I recommend finding out more about the military. Nobody there "only cares about money." If they did, they'd do something more profitable.
have an open source project, but company’s take home interview projects suffice for this, specifically when you are writing it from scratch based off of instructions. I open source every one I don’t get an offer from and it looks like I just loooove coding in my free time

I don’t know if junior devs have a different experience but I don't find projects help you stand out at all. Third party recruiters are going to find you, via linked in if you have the right keywords in your profile, and they will get you interviews.

Getting a “call back” may be a champagne popping moment in other professions, but not in software engineering, getting interviews isn't the problem its passing the random af broken af technical interview, system design, behavioral/culture interview.

but everything youre optimizing for is the “call back”, which your projects wont help with

speaking of junior dev, that really just means lack of validation from a company for several years. so all you gotta do is form a company say you worked for them and point to their product. literally just do a wyoming llc for $120 online, make a website about the product, say you worked for that now real company. congratulations you're a senior engineer now, you’ve already done the software work just transpose it on the dumb uncalibrated ways employers try to identify competence
Imagine when your HD is just local cache for their cloud services. Oh yes you have a terabyte drive but you can't actually use more than 50 GB of it for storage without paying them.

You know this is what they are up to.
I do. I tailor my life around my family, not my work. I have a wife who does the same. You just have to find a way to not be a cog in someone else's machine while still delivering value to others. Don't work for or with people who expect family hostile arrangements or you won't have a family. You will belong to someone who doesn't care about you instead of belonging to yourself and those you love.

Half the people in this thread make six figures a year, they can't afford to care for their family on a single income? What kind of lifestyle are they living? I make less than them, but I also work a lot less, and I do just fine.

Last mile electric transmission is mostly a natural monopoly. Very few customers are willing to pay for two separate connections, and routing overlapping electrical transmission networks is expensive in space and likely unsightly.

There's a few options for natural monopolies. Regulated standards and practices, and tarrifs can be effective. Public ownership can be effective. Mandating divestiture can be effective.

A market works pretty ok for generation. Although, a system operator that coordinates to provide stability seems like a requirement.

I think there's potential for a market approach in long distance transmission; the operator could identify unmet transmission needs (sector A often has excess/curtailed generation, sector B often has excess/curtailed loads; maybe we should increase transmission capacity through those links), and run a bid process to solve those needs. I think the high price to build long distance transmission means you do want to have coordinated planning though: you don't want to massively overbuild transmission capacity on one path.

> You do not want to use financing products that dealerships offer - they are worse than the ones you can shop around for. Get preapproved with your bank or and other bank and get the preapproval letter ready before step 5.

That seems unlikely to me, though this depends on which car company you're buying from.

Take Ford for instance. A significant amount of Ford's business is banking/financing. Much like how the Dealership wants to sell you a car, Ford actively wants to be your financier and they're competing against the banks to get your business.

Furthermore: Ford is known to sweeten the deal and offer financing-credits rather than straight $$$ off of a car. For example, you might find that Ford can offer 5% right now, when typical banks are going to be offering 8%. This is effectively Ford choosing a "shadow-discount" in the form of financing-incentive. They're willing to lose money on the finance but gain a customer. Its a hidden negotiating tactic on top of all the other offers they're doing to you. You might as well give the sales-guy the opportunity to offer you a financing deal.

-----------

But Toyota doesn't have as big of a financing arm, and its more of an (expensive) service to the customer. You'll probably lose money on Toyota financing compared to a regular bank.

I think its a good idea to be pre-approved. This means that you know what the "fair" % interest rate should be right now, and get a good idea of what "shadow deals" various car manufacturers are doing.

I know I've seen 1.9% APY deals in the market today. Financing is seriously just another step in this annoying negotiation process you have to normalize and account for.
We absolutely can if the government allocates the funds to help Ukraine which is cheap as hell compared to 10s of trillions of dollar for WW3 in Europe in a few years as we neglect NATO but are finally forced to. when Putin inevitably overplays his hand and attacks a NATO country because we will be ramping up for real.

I mean if you look below the fold in this article...

> Just last week, Mayor London Breed released new crime numbers for the city, showing declines in robberies, burglaries, and larceny-theft, including car break-ins and retail theft, for January. That builds on improvements recorded in 2023, the mayor’s office said.

But point wasn't about this hardware store, my point was about what the news chooses to emphasize.
I’m hopeful that the new package registry will become the best way to publish libraries written in TypeScript in a backwards-compatible way. In a TypeScript app, I don’t want to import anything pre-minified, since it makes debugging harder. I just want the source. But other people may need to download different files that are compatible with their systems, and a library maintainer will want to support them without fuss.
I maintained a fairly successful legacy C/C++ application that performed business critical functions. The core developers were long gone, and countless of changes had to gone into it since. The only way the application survived was automatically comparing outputs and intermediate data structures against "ideal" values. Hundreds of business scenarios with their own input datasets. No one really understood what each scenario or ideal value meant. So your goal was to minimize divergence, and update the test case if it was deemed acceptable.
I assume it’s also because reusing a line number means losing whatever code was previously there, and if you find a bug and need to add extra code you don’t want to rewrite part of what is correct just to add a few instructions in between, whether on a teletype or on a terminal with a screen.
I'm stuck on this exact same problem. I want to code, but no longer want to do it for the sake of learning. I'll happily code for something that will get me true ROI, but haven't found what to dedicate my time to. I've realized I need to continue to learn, but that no longer applies specifically to the coding domain.

I don't know if I can do it. Coding has instant feedback, most other things in life are not like that. The lack of instant feedback is demotivating.
>Although now we have onboard wifi.

They are taking issue with the actions necessary to eliminate Hamas.

It's not, as you seem to be insinuating, the very idea of there being some kind of military response to October 7 that they take issue with.

Rather - they don't buy your contention that the current operation, the way it is being conducted, is necessary for (or even helpful towards) that goal. Or even for the safe return of the hostages.

Meanwhile, by now they find themselves forced to acknowledge certain ulterior motives at play -- based on how the current operation has been conducted on the ground, all the rather abhorrent statements by government officials and public figures, all those batshit insane TikTok videos that the IDF's best and finest have proudly broadcast to the world, etc.

> We tell customers to wash their outerwear, regardless of whether it has PFAS or not, after every three to five significant uses and to re-waterproof every three to five washes.

Their outerwear? So we're not talking about inner layers here. All of them? Every three to five uses?? I have jackets and coats that are decades old, in active (seasonal) use for the whole time, that I have never washed. Is this unusual? How would you even wash them? For some of them, it seems like just throwing them in a washing machine would damage the surface layers, make the lining lumpy, shrink them, or do some other problematic thing to them.
