That's what they were saying. America had the first credit cards and therefore had trouble moving to chip & pin partly because the existing system worked without it.

Active support of a criminal enterprise. I believe it's not just a state crime but also federal.

Yeah Signal isn't the issue - it's the phones. In the end Signal was probably easier and faster to use while a bit more secure than WhatsApp but one has to presume that a chunk of those phones have been compromised for months.

What's wrong with recycling the bottle caps and not having them all over the place because they're small and otherwise fall onto the streets, sewers, and trails?? It's really not a problem to have the lid attached to the bot

You can only be so proactive. At a ginormous company, the pace of change is glacial. You can push really hard and get buy-in from leaders with hundreds of people under them and still get blocked trying to improve things about the office&#

These are my favorite types of marketing - what I'll just call 'part of the actual stack'. Would be great if there was a Berlin office so I could join!

That's what the MBP product line is for. More ports and performance for more expense and weight/size. I know it seems like a champagne problem but the Pro really can get annoyingly heavy when traveling and the Air is dreamy how l

Well now I live in Berlin and I'm not sure if I've experienced a power outage in 3 years. I remember a Swiss guy from Zurich that had only experience a one minute power outage in his entire life through 18 before moving out of th

Currently at AWS in the Q org. Looking for scope either via an innovative startup as a founder, a mid/late-stage startup as a CEO-direct, or as part of a multinational looking to build a significant office/product in Berlin. Ope

This seems pretty wasteful. Going without electricity for a day really isn't such a burden and a freezer can last pretty long or if it doesn't there's rarely much of a problem with waste if you just eat the food in order.

It's also why thinking critically about the initial 'mode' is important. The fewer mistakes that have to be embedded into the distant future, the better.

I've always wanted turboprop planes to become more common for long haul flights. Many people would gladly pay for premium economy with spacious seating in the entire cabin if the price was competitive even if the flight took an extra

We would call those qualifications to be a Sr. Principal Engineer or higher even ... not an SVP in charge of 1M+ people. Hegseth is way out of his league.

I dunno - I'm in Berlin and my kids go to a private school for English education. I don't think somebody who couldn't afford it and wasn't a native English speaker would be getting English without parental effort before

It's funny, I don't even look at the Kagi logo anymore. I just see search results and occasionally notice that I"m using Kagi because I see the token in the request url.

A thoughtful investor will be more interested in paid active users and cohort analysis of retention (in terms of actual usage) rather than subscription numbers/revenue in absolute terms. Engagement can always be monetized better in the

Reagan fired the ATCs when they tried to assert their rights - can't be good if they think they may be the next in line for DOGEing.

Come to Germany and try Deutsche Bank. Those monkeys are just throwing !@#$# at the wall. Moving from the US to Germany is like taking a time machine to another era when it comes to online banking.

I don't get the need for synchronous comms at all. I can book airplane tickets, food delivery, e-commerce generally, and most other things through a web interface. Not sure why I need to talk to somebody to get a mortgage aside from

This is analogous to the 'unlimited' vacation policy. Now instead of following a codified and shared standard the employee has to negotiate every vacation day and consider how it impacts their standing in the organization.

People say that but it's not really true. If they just have 1P cookies for basic functionality (login), then I believe there can be a discreet notice at the bottom informing the user of that fact. Groups like IEEE should be the ones

Yes that is exactly what the big Aha! moment was. It has now been shown that doing these $100MM+ model builds is what it takes to have a top-tier model. The big moat is not just the software, the math, or even the training data, it's

I've found that agile works if velocity is static and used for estimates ONLY and is flat over time. Once velocity is measured as an output metric and there is an attempt to improve it, you've just left agile and are now in a mor

Do they make 'double' rope? I know there is the internal structure and the external protection but I'm thinking something more like two independent internal structures such that if one fails the other can still handle load,
