Yea nuclear waste isn't actually a problem, even barring newer reactor designs that re-use nuclear fuel. I was surprised when I learned this since it's always coached as the biggest issue with nuclear as a power source. It's

Yea nuclear waste isn't actually a problem, I was surprised when I learned this since everyone seems to make a big deal about it. It's solid waste (not radioactive sludge like in many movies/shows), and requires very simple s

Wow, knowing the Ethereum community, this is a very quick way to start developing bad blood between the very open-source liberal community and this pretty important piece of Web3 infrastructure...

I hear this a lot, that Lyft/Uber could allow the same flexibility if they wanted to. It's not that the law dictates this shift, it's that the economics do. Requiring full employment means you can hire less drivers. If you

by carlosdp 6y ago
There is very much a constitutional requirement that the government can't tell you you can't have the lawyer you want because they are a US citizen. That's a clear violation of the 14th amendment right to due process...

That's not what he means. They consistently pass exec orders that at the core would be legal, if they allowed for due process, but they rush it or are incompetent so they get overturned. In this case, the order bans any US citizen from

If you read the article, they are also contesting the fact the order was rushed and bans ByteDance from retaining US lawyers once the ban is in effect, which is a violation of due process. So the legal argument from ByteDance actually has m

Actually it does, the CFIUS has jurisdiction over any foreign company doing commerce in the US. Which is why it has oversight over ByteDance's acquisition of Musical.ly, both Chinese companies.

What? This article makes absolutely no sense. How is buying a company that clearly was not doing well financially (acquisition price at $150m, ~$200m raised with the last $40m being a debt financing, so it is a bail out), in what is clearly

On the contrary, the bigger you get, the more you need Datadog to scale. Once you grow big enough, you can make volume deals with them, you don't pay list price. I'd much rather pay them than have a single engineer have to spend a

Gotta say though, having rolled grafana and prometheus and such on my own plenty of times before, if you are a startup and can afford Datadog, use Datadog.

This seems... spurious. Granting IPO stocks on IPO day is beneficial if the stock goes up, and "detrimental" if the stock goes down from the initial price instead, which is what happened with Uber. The article makes it look like U
