With a _personal check_? Nobody I'm aware of, having done a good 10+ transactions myself. But everybody is happy with a _cashier's check_. Admittedly you have to go physically get those, which kinda sucks. Or wire the money to the

It is normal, but a lot of the rank & file don't understand that ahead of time. I also think that fact that management went out of their way to leave the common shares with nothing is scummy, bordering on unethical. Which is not th

Had this happen on a much smaller scale as an employee. I (foolishly) bought out some of my options when I left the company. Years later they sold it, but structured the deal such that the major investors got paid out all the proceeds, leav

I don't know about bloat per se, but I think putting `equals` on all objects is a design flaw. This implicitly assumes that every object has a single implementation that works for every case, which is frequently false. Some objects hav

In the context of alerting, I agree with TFA. You should not be alerting on bad request errors, because you might have no control over it. That said you might want monitoring on it so you can check if the rate jumped at some important point

I did find it weird to assert that you can't use wood for construction materials because it wouldn't fit, but then require it for fuel. If you can't find enough wood to build out of, then it seems even harder to find enough t

Certainly it can be used as a record of ownership. But it's not the real record - that's whatever the legal system holds. So now we're talking about just using it as a view on top of the actual system of record. It being di

But the point is that the blockchain is not a source of truth, the legal system is. So the blockchain is at best an eventually-consistent view. But if that's the case, then why bother with a blockchain at all? Just use a regular data

The expensive lenses are usually big and heavy. If you don't need that degree of sharpness, then it's potentially a worse tool than a lighter (and cheaper) lens. >So why wouldn't they be called "hobbyist photographers

by breischl 5y ago
Average photographers can certainly benefit from better gear to a degree. But for many people (myself included) a $300 lens will work as well (or even better) than a $3000 one. Which I think is the point the original commenter was making. T

A lot of photographers buy amazing gear, and ignore the fact that they lack the skill that would use it well or even require that gear. I think the closest analog might be someone that reads the reviews, buys the latest-and-greatest computi

Yeah, you're not wrong. There are people who are into photography for photographs, and then there are people are into it for the gear. Not that the latter is necessarily a bad hobby - no worse than any other collecting type of hobby -

It pretty much has to be. 1kg would be 1L of water, which is not that much to lose over 5 hours. But 1kg of fat is 7700 kcal, which would be a massive amount of energy to expend in 5 hours. Unless your "walks" involve running uphi

This is pretty true. I think this whole thing has been an argument for a low across-the-board tariff, to internalize the risk of supply chain disruptions.
