Aside from cheddar (or similar), the crystals are always inside the cheese, so the appearance is nearly the same as those without the crystals.

Visited Gouda in the Netherlands and learned this. Best cheese I’ve ever had.

No, they won’t. They’ll hold the pay stub for 1-3 days. Your payment happens on pay day.

One thing that we did to account for this was to shift the teams every or every few sprints. It allowed folks to get more experience, still get feedback, since if they built a buggy feature they'd have to fix it, etc. People seemed muc

When YC started, people were saying literally the same thing; the dotcom bust had already happened, and the era of big internet companies was 'dead.' As usual, the death of entrepreneurship and startups has been greatly overstated

By your definition, every CDN is a hack, which is absurd on its face. Your assertion that "DNS is originally a mechanism to convert hierarchical numerical ip adresses with geographical info" is incorrect; geography has nothing to

No, it isn’t. It’s proof that it requires some work. Those are not the same thing. When you change the tires on your car, that isn’t hacking. But it does require work.

No, it isn’t. DNS converts domain names to IP addresses. All you are doing here is saying you don’t want to talk to certain domain names. That’s not hacking; that’s literally how DNS works and what it is for. You are using it for its intend

“Solitary confinement may only be imposed in exceptional circumstances, and "prolonged" solitary confinement of more than 15 consecutive days is regarded as a form of torture.” https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-r

That’s not what this is. You are already using a DNS server; it’s just the one your ISP built. Swapping your DNS server takes three seconds in your router interface.

Fair, and sorry about that. The point stands, though.

If, for example, someone convicted of sexual assault decides to give an interview without permission, and proceeds to reiterate the details of the crime, that would undoubtedly harm the victim of their crimes. That is what I meant by the sa

> You are accusing him of a new crime. I am doing no such thing. I have no idea if he committed a crime. I am not litigating anything. He did an interview without getting permission, breaking the rules of his confinement. That’s obvious,

The safety and needs of a prisoner are not the only concerns. The safety and needs of the victims and public are also a concern. Moreover, if there was a breach of security (which is at least close to the definition of what happened), tempo

Actually, not as much as you think. That the rule of law isn’t being followed is a real problem and is why so many citizens of the US find what’s happening right now immensely concerning and troubling. It’s precisely the desire for th

Changing the definition of the word doesn’t make you right. What I meant is extremely clear, and this sort of pedantry is irrelevant and doesn’t move the conversation forward.

Cynic, noun 1. a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons. So, to be clear, I do not believe all prison guards and staff are motivated purely by self-interes

I did not work hard to find that interpretation. It was literally the first one that came to mind, because I am not a cynic.

You’re right. But in this case SBF engaged in an external interview, without permission, over a link normally reserved for access to attorneys. When the interview came out, it’s safe to assume the prison had no idea how it happened. He was

This was actually somewhat clever, but very dishonest. He used a link to the outside that is normally used solely for discussions between inmates and their lawyers; the catch is that on the other end was Tucker, not his lawyer. So SBF kind

You should support your kid, in the best way you know how. :) That’s all. MIT is not for everyone. I saw many students completely fold under the pressure, both from the expectations of being told they were “gifted” their whole lives, and fr

I can echo the parent. I still remember my time at MIT like it was yesterday, and it helped me immensely in life, especially having grown up poor. But it was the people I met and the stuff I worked on with them, and the relationships that f

And being that efficient is fine, if you're a startup or a technology company. If you're the government, sometimes people die waiting on their treatment to be funded because of your efficient bulldozing.

You’re not wrong, but there is also wisdom in age. I’m 37 now, and got in plenty of similar trouble when I was 16-22, simply because my brain literally was not fully developed yet. My impulse control was worse, my consideration of consequen

You’re right, but the thing that leads us to lighter EVs is solid state batteries.
