What I've been thinking of making is tiny little proximity devices that are next to the plants that emit a loud noise when movement is detected within a certain range. These could be reproduced quite easily and cheaply and left next to

Thank you for the explanation. This is new to me :)

This concept is alien to me. Finland has income tax that everyone pays and it covers everything. There is still VAT when I buy an apple at the store, but it's not there to pay for the road repairs for the car I drive. We have seperate

Just because you’re a digital nomad doesn’t mean you’re not using resources. You’ll still need healthcare, repairs to the road you probably drive on, someone to take your trash etc.

> Every Mac based on the M1 chipset and above will not run unsigned binaries, either. So this is different to Intel macs? You can’t just go to security and privacy and “allow”?

Unfortunately I think the core audience of Reddit is probably somewhat well informed and probably running an ad block. I’d love to see the percentages. It makes total sense to be able to target communities and I think they need to just stic

There are plenty of big companies operating at scale in those markets. You just haven't heard of them. From everything I've heard about FAANG interviews, it's more of an exercise in theory rather than hands-on experience anyw

I know his name and who he is. I vaguely recall some of his poems being recited at school. I like to think I'm a man of the world. I watch a lot of Scottish TV (Burnistoun etc.), have done the NC500 and have plenty of Scottish friends.

I’m English, and lived in England for 23 years. I have never ever heard of Scots before.

There’s no way Google is going to pay a “world class” developer the same salary in SV as in Ukraine. Not unless everyone in SV takes giant pay cuts.

by deanclatworthy 5y ago
This. I’ve been saying it all along. This is what is going to happen to all the SV bros on their 6 figure salaries. You’re no better than someone on the other side of the globe who will have lower living expenses. If your employer doesn’t s

I just looked it up. Where I'm staying the tests are 57e, you do it yourself, and get a result within 20mins which is valid for 24h. That definitely is a high cost.

As far I’m aware this is an American thing. I’m from Finland (no vaccine pass yet) but travelling in Germany/Austria right now. They have the concept of 3G (don’t ask me to translate) but basically you can’t eat, drink or stay anywhere

Would a court be compelled to provide that hash to your defence? Arguable as it could be used by criminals to clean their collection. And by that time your life is ruined anyway.

I recently worked on an integration with suomi.fi which is mentioned multiple times in this article. I even used the DVV published fork of passport-Saml. I have a few points: - that library is not supported as such. It was published under t

The terrifying part about this is potential abuse. We have seen people arrested for having child porn in their web cache just from clicking on a bad link. I could inject your cache with any image I want using JS. Presumably the same could a

Maybe? We also tried the same thing with the vive and it still was like looking at a potato IMO. Maybe the very latest devices are much better - I very much look forward to trying these.

Nothing stopping you doing that right now with localStorage or IndexedDB. The issue is the browser cannot be trusted to keep that data, or at least these APIs aren't designed for long-term persistent storage. If we could solve this pro

Isn’t it like watching potato quality? We had the first oculus rift at our office many years ago and there was an app to play video files in a movie theatre. But the resolution was so bad it was like watching a VHS. I see the potential here

I literally just went to a well known department store in my city and in order to get an advertised discount, I was asked to become a member. This required a SSN rather than just email. I don’t trust them with this info and with the SSN alo

As mentioned in the parent comment I made, it's a game of odds. It's one thing wearing a mask at the supermarket and passing someone with covid. But if I go to the office, pick up COVID, and I live in the same home as someone who

This is not the case. Many people who are double vaccinated are testing positive for COVID and therefore capable of spreading it: https://archive.is/sYyMf Look at the data from the UK. The pandemic is far from over there, a

As I mentioned in my comment, many folks have families. We are not dealing with individuals when it comes to a pandemic. We are dealing with contagion amongst bubbles of people. Many people have vulnerable people in their bubbles at home an

There is a counter point to yours, just as valid, where folks don’t want to be around unvaccinated folks. Maybe they have an immunocompromised relative or child at home. Maybe they don’t feel safe with unvaccinated folks around. This is a g

Maybe. I mean there's a lot of forest here. But at that point isn't it more of a choice? I tend to think of the homeless as sleeping in bags or on cardboard in cities, trying to get money for whatever it is they need. I really saw

Lived in Finland a decade now. There are drunks and drug addicts hanging around on the streets all night and in parks, but I have never once seen someone sleeping on cardboard, or in a sleeping bag on the street. Not once.
