I'm curious what names did you expect for an intelligence op in Afghanistan or Iran? Generally the police take care of things like financial crimes, so not sure why you expected this from a service provider to US three letter agencies

Question, if you have to amortise it over 5 years, and you can survive the initial 4, does it break even in year 5 (assuming stable employment)? Ie you amortise the previous 5 years (20% each) which works out to 100% anyway?

The future is not too expensive- people have just grown balooning expectations of what is minimal sustenance for children - people on <$200 month have 5 children families all over hte world and then you see people on 100k+ salaries sayin

To be fair you only need to pay sustenance or opportunity cost so closer to 100k per person should be fine especially outside of USA

I think this one is hard to defend but let me tell you a similar story in the UK. Gov uk was redesigned by some of the smartest people and generally I still praise a lot of digital transformation from that era. But after a while people got

I recently got back into coding (thank you LLMs!) and I find this is much more isolating lifestyle. If I didn’t find the problem solving so rewarding and money was not a consideration I would actually prefer a more social job with MORE dist

Imagine if Amazon acted the same way- oh we already have 1 customer, we won’t bother with the next 6 billion because we have one shittty one already.

Good about describing the problem but the part with solutions is a bit unrealistic

The only concern now is whether the indexes keep growing.

It has long been consensus that perimeter security is an outdated concept. With servers in public clouds workers remote etc just assume that a breach could potentially happen and mitigate the potential damage - stealing credentials from a m

These seminars seem like marketing sessions for various database vendors. Prove me wrong.

“ 911 calls are mostly public information since they involve public services who all need to communicate with one another.” Umm not in Europe. First of all Tetra/Dimetra calls are E2E encrypted (with some famous vulnerabilities) then t

Still it does not use as much electricity as the previous generation of light bulbs and she won’t be replacing them often. So from a perspective of the industry it’s not so good. The tech is better but there’s less sales / margins&#x2F

Good to understand - HongKong was a finiancial hub for Asia and an early adopter of 'fintech' which means you are stuck with banks running on tech from the 1980s while some developing countries went straight to mobile payments....

I think that’s the parents point one can endorse specific policies from a person without necessarily endorsing everything else. Btw that’s the beauty of democracy- people made their choices and can still voice their concerns even after the

Superb application and I agree the terminal simplicity plus some minima amount of visualisation is what appeals to me. But my online banking provides all of this plus automatic categorisation and if needed I can always export to csv. So n

I don’t think that was thought through at all, just some stupid political posturing. First of all lots of chips are in data centres already. Google has one in Poland. There’s freedom of movement and business across EU so any Polish citize

Pretend all you want but interest rates make a ton of difference. If you can make a safe, compounded, perhaps leveraged 5% from treasuries the financial bar that a successful startup has to pass is so much higher

The pay in Switzerland is because of cost of living, mostly food, apartments.

I will try to dig up some concrete numbers but for vast majority of people they make more money lifetime from working and saving some of that money and then investing that. So IMO for people in software the correct way for passive income is

How about South Africa not doing so well currently? It could be viewed through a racial lens but it means you can’t objectively discuss and hopefully help the situation. IMO this is exactly an example of where such closed rules may legitima

Weird comparison as all they share is a name but still interesting to see how uneducated the car buyers are. EV Mustang is in my honest opinion the worst EV I have driven and I include golf carts and mobility scooters in this category. Yet

Lots of comments here not even bothering to read the OP article on the true sources of burnout. Cute advice on how to cope with it but no thought on what systemic causes were. It’s like helping fellow miners cope with lung disease rather t

I pretty much got out of programming because sitting for too long resulted in me having serious spine problems culminating in surgery. Not sitting long enough means I rarely get into the ‚zone’. I’m glad others have figured it out better

Yeah, I feel 2025 will be the year where you need petabytes of data, LLMs and dashboards just to get ‚insight’ like that

Cool XX century story but mass use of LLM generated text will obfuscate any such individual differences. My kids already use LLMs extensively to verify and sometimes generate homework completely.

No such thing as multitasking. You just context switching frequently so any movie with any depth to the story will be hard to follow this way

I still take issue with mr Snider scaremongering like this- in the unlikely scenario that someone would actually be running around with a 60 round mag glock it would likely jam or overheat anyway.
