Something similar happens in Ireland. The regulations make the Outgoing bank process the Wire rapidly, within 24 hours or much less. However the receiving bank can let it sit to clear for multiple days. Here it's the older more establi

Maybe. Things that succeed in the face of an issue no one predicted don't really stand out as smart - just lucky. It might prove smart in the long run for many other reasons of course. For all we know, Tesla could be locked into TSMC l

I think there is also a substrate shortage https://www.semi.org/en/blogs/business-markets/the-substrate... And an Air Freight shortage even if you do pay 10x to jump the production queue https://ww

Sounds like it depends on your viewpoint. Neither are fair and fully open. Premier League and La Liga are dominated (to different extents) by the top teams, but are otherwise open for any team to reach and win. NFL is closed to new entrants

Good points, and Vaccination itself has a lag effect as well, If i understand it correctly. I've heard that someone vaccinated with 2nd dose today will not have the protection percentage for 10days+ or so - Which needs to taken into ac

So that's the catch though. A $400k wage in SFBay for Microsoft (which I've never heard of for a regular position) won't just translate to anywhere else in the world. When starting salary in SF for Microsoft new college hire

But are they top paying? Microsoft hasn't been top paying in a lot of markets outside US for years, let alone competitive with I'd imagine most people on hackernews consider "top paying" Wouldn't a role in UK be ess

Apple itself is selling it's new chips as making faster devices. If only a niche want that speed, Apple probably wouldn't be pushing it as part of the pitch so hard.

There's a massive US centric bubble when it comes to Apple. iPhones and Macbooks are not in the majority, let alone universal, with software developers as whole, just in pockets

I understand there are some specifics going on in Germany. While I've never quite understood, I've seen many German posters call out a national broadband backbone based on Copper as the root cause. I don't know if this is tru

I'm confused, are you suggesting the team that write the code for Teams don't use it?

In Microsoft, at least in Office division, TDD got some big pushes and serious traction within many of the teams working on Services, funnily enough back around the time of this article. But... maybe relatively uniquely? We had a firm divis

I wonder is it how the Zoe is viewed. In most of Europe, I think it's viewed as the only Electric car that's competitive on price against Internal Combusion cars. For a bit more, an eco conscious person can get city car with good

Germany is, I think, fairly exceptional in this case. Living in Ireland, Irish stores can be very hit and miss. Amazon UK is often faster, very often cheaper, has cheaper shipping (even though it's coming from UK), has cheaper returns

One size rarely fits all. Moving to mono repos has been great for my team for reducing build times and removing the overhead of understanding decades of cruft built up to make a huge mono repo manageable. But with turnover of both projects

UWP apps use different APIs to interact with windows than Win32. So at least in theory, the OS can actively manage them similar to Android or iOS apps. I've noticed that Zen 2 on desktop can easily suffer from re-occurring spikes in te

There is something interesting going on with those Javascript GeekBench benchmarks worth bearing in mind. Despite Apple now for years destroying everything but the latest high clocked Intel processors running Chrome (all other browsers get

I get a feeling that was the plan all along. With AMD processors in the next Xbox, they'd have pretty good visibility already on the AMD offerings coming. I think ARM based Surface RT was a similar plan, getting in early on ARM to be r

Agreed. I remember you were more likely to spot a VIA processor in a laptop then spot an AMD processor before the Athlon 64 mobile processors arrived as Turion. This is new. Intel really did accelerate into the laptop mobile space with Cent

Anyone remember the Unreal Tournament 2003 (or was it 2004?) Demo, which had an exe that was compatible with original retail release as a DRM free copy. Of course, Unreal Tournament was a mostly online multiplayer game, and relied on cdkeys

Great for making your video ad-free. But things have moved on since then, you can now guarantee 50% of the ad revenue. https://youtu.be/Mz14Ul-r63w

This seems a bit spurious. I don't see many companies offering the same level of Stock options in Europe as in US, before tax. It seems to me more like companies generally pay less in Europe, before tax. Surely in that environment, red

Scammers are aware of this, and will often use a tactic of gradual escalation. At first, you have no reason to hang up and call them back, because the call seems harmless. Good example would be someone claiming to be your ISP apologizing fo

Not everyone is capable of walking long distances, using bikes or electric scooters. Taxis are a form of public transport. I'm not saying everyone who uses them needs to use them, but if you ban them outright you ban certain people out

I had an ailing Windows 95 Laptop that in its later years stopped functioning entirely unless I wiggled the mouse. This all makes a lot of sense now.

Rent control doesn't have to work this way, for example right now in Ireland. Rent control is associated with the Unit, not with the tenant. If you move to another rent controlled Unit, there's very limited situations where the la

That does sound low. I started a junior role for a big company at 33k back in 2010. Every year that jumped significantly for new hires. I hear some java houses are still low balling though...

Seems like a problem that can be seen quite generally as well. e.g. Movie X is a flop, because it's opening weekend in US is disappointing. Goes on do excellently Worldwide, especially outside opening weekend. Search engine X is a flop

It also for me explains a lot about about the problems I've had with Fitbit notifications. They use an always running background task, and have a long list of troubleshooting steps to disable/re-enable the service repeatedly and a
