I'm not sure if you care, but it's possible to use Neon to write native Node modules in Rust. No need for JS glue code and better performance than spawning a process.

We do have Google Fi, which is $20/mo + $0.01/MB. It works in 180+ countries with no need to swap out SIM cards. The main downside is the lack of phone choice...basically only the Google flagship phones (Pixel and Nexus...not the

Even some of the legal stuff that Wells Fargo does boggles the mind. My parents had a Wells Fargo mortgage. It's now been sold twice and I've had to setup automatic monthly payments for them each time. I live in fear of two things

Also important: - warrants should have explicit expiration dates...no more indefinite intercepts. - cooperating companies should be able to publicly say anything as soon as the warrant expires. The gag orders are what have allowed the scope

Or, in the case of the US, it will cause politicians to neuter the EPA and do everything possible to avoid studying problems like this. It's only a problem if we know about it, right?

The biggest difference may be the tax status of the way those two millions are earned. If you're earning $1m from a public company, you're likely finding yourself in a near-top tax bracket and running into AMT in most years. If yo

Would the land really be as valuable as it is if people weren't able to borrow money to purchase it? Someone would still own it and yet the price would largely be capped by the amount that people were able to save, not the amount that

It'd be fine if it were actually consistent and they picked different locations. But 'High Sierra' is a region, 'Yosemite' is a park in that region and 'El Capitan' is a large rock in that park (side note.

Perhaps it's because you need data to arrive at the correct pricing and if you price too high, you won't get that data. It may make sense to lose a little bit initially during the data gathering stage to more quickly arrive at an

I remember reading about a study [1] that showed that humans recognize faces based on how similar they are to the faces of their parents. It's well known that humans are more easily able to differentiate faces within our own races. But

You should probably include most US combat deaths in the terrorism category because, no matter how little Iraq had to do with 9/11, we wouldn't have been in a war there or Afghanistan without terrorism. Veteran suicides and overdo

No, it doesn't. It has an MX record that will clue you into it being hosted by Google. It may be inconvenient, but "absolutely no way" is hyperbole.

One aspect that makes care in the US cost more is our culture of being highly litigious. We seem to believe that if doctors make honest mistakes, it entitles the patient or their heirs to a large settlement. So doctors/hospitals need e

FWIW, ffi is just a third-party node module, which makes it pretty similar to Neon. Both are solutions that require you to write a bit of glue code and both have their caveats/pitfalls/landmines. Which one is the "right answe
