They could just as easily have trumped up treason charges. Whether the charges are valid or not is irrelevant. Both of these countries are clearly sending a message. Get too greedy, corrupt, ..etc and we will kill you. Whereas in the US

Pretty much all of South America has some version of this as well. Colombia has “transferencia” which is awesome and even as a foreigner I could pay someone using cash at an ATM machine.

Some realtors do in fact list their commissions and fee structure: Some examples from the market we are looking in. 1. Flat fixed fee and refunds extra: https://arrivva.com/ 2. Minimum 1.25-1.5% but refunds 50% of any comm

I am actually your target market. We are looking to buy a house early next year. But, one thing that put me off is that you don’t list what fees you charge, is it flat rate or a percentage, ..etc. In the FAQ I see this but no mention of t

It was actually worse than that. It was Tesla’s GPUs and the board refused to even address it. I was actually a bit surprised that something hasn’t come of that yet.

I wrote an ansible pipeline that pushes config backups, json and ndjson, to a GitHub repo. It just uses the “git” cli tool to clone the repo, commit any changes, and push those commits to “origin/main”. Only piece that you have to be a

Broadcom is just a Private Equity firm cosplaying as a tech company. This is just what they do. They don’t care if it dies as long as they are able to get every last drop of blood from their -victims- customers. The company I work for sta

I did read it and understand that they are running a gambling site. CFs handling of it though where they instead took this as an opportunity for high pressure upsell is the scummy part. Why wouldn’t they allow them to pay monthly for enter

Yikes, looks like CF is off my list of things to use. Super scummy

Well the normal folks will care when one of the nerds creates something personally useful to them. Then that becomes the killer feature that makes the platform sticky. Will this happen? No clue but it is cool to see someone innovating in

I have asked “How do you feel I can improve as a candidate in the future?” Basically asking for a mini retro at the end of the interview process. I have found it acts as a decent proxy for how strong/weak I have done. But it also all

But Americans still didn’t learn Japanese en mass when it looked like Japanese manufacturing was going to conquer the world. Just like they didn’t learn Chinese. Learning a new language as an adult is incredibly difficult. I have learned

Yep and that is a separate issue that needs to be addressed. When you have people who are so wealthy that they can switch their nationality on a whim then that requires special solutions.

When you account for all taxes this may be true but for just income taxes it isn’t. According to the link below the bottom 50% makeup just 2.34% of income taxes paid. So, eliminating income taxes and maybe adding a return free filing opti

If any of these asteroids have water ice buried that might be a good start. Easier to refine water and carbon into methane for fuel depots in space than other applications. Also drinking water, splitting for hydrogen or just use the ice a

IMO it is probably more that people that work their entire lives to be astronauts and then wait years, sometimes decades, to get a flight slot are not the type to be risk averse. Lots of them were test pilots as well. So, these types of f

Yeah that’s a fair point. I am a dev as well but I have been working with kubernetes a long time so I generally know what I need to be looking at.

Just curious are there any solid sources for percentage of rental units subject to rent control? Google failed me in my quick search

I do not work at Google so I am sure you have more inside information than me. But, here is my thinking. Android is operated the way it is because it cements Googles dominance with its other services. Maps, Chrome, ..etc always ship with

Async implicitly wraps the return in a promise if it otherwise wouldn’t return one. Useful for wrapping logic that otherwise would be synchronous. So, syntactic sugar so you don’t have to have “new Promise” to wrap what would otherwise be

I love async but very rarely use await. It makes inversion of control patterns super easy and avoids deep logic and instead get something much more readable. I treat await as a code smell and always triggers me to evaluate if we really nee

Splitting ads off from Search doesn’t mean Search doesn’t show ads. It just means that now multiple ad networks get to bid for those ad slots. Whoever wants to share the most money with the Search division wins. All their major propertie

So take this with a big mountain of salt as I am newer to Go and my experience with .Net is a bit dated but I do have 7 YoE with C#. The C# stdlib is larger and more batteries included for sure. But, it feels less focused than Go to me. O

It’s a new team. This non-critical part is your shakeout cruise before heading off into the open ocean. You can identify how well you hired as well as how well you prepared for these contractors to begin work. Make appropriate calibratio

This is excellent advice but I would back up a few steps and do a few things before bringing in a freelancer team. Identify a part of this system that can work somewhat in isolation and is non-critical if at all possible. Then document the

Anecdotal but the company I work for does. But, not for the reasons the wider community cares. Strong FOSS projects tend to have multiple options for commercial support. So, if a hostile company acquires your commercial support provider,
