Same here. After looking at the movie name, I can see the connection, but it's just not strong enough for me to identify the movie from the picture. Not that this should matter in this context, and no idea how common or uncommon this p

I think it’s important we all become aware of the reality of the climate crisis. The fact that we aren’t yet is one of the reasons we have failed to deal with it better. I was very surprised to find out that some people around me, which are

One thing is certain: it can’t (yet) be used as a firefighter. That is, if it shares the AI stack with Tesla AP.

Why does it take so long? Where’s the bottleneck? Where I lived over the last years (two countries in Europe), I don’t even have to use the physical card. I just use contactless payments with the phone. Prior to that, it was contactless wit

I don’t believe that is correct. Your country of citizenship will by default view any income you have as taxable, no matter from where or where you get it. The double taxation treaty exempts you entirely or partially, regardless of the obli

This ^^^. It’s essentially cash flow towards the country, part of which is spent locally. It’s pretty much tourism on steroids. And, to make it work, they need to make it very attractive.

It depends on the double taxation treaties signed between your country of citizenship and the country where you live. Some will allow you to pay no taxes in your citizenship country, other will ask you to pay the difference, and maybe there

Starting from some version (can’t recall exactly which, maybe 79 or 80), you had to do a fresh install. After that, it continues updating as usual.

I would consider your argument seriously, if the price of the products and services I work on were also adjusted to the location of the buyer, but they rarely are. So, I find it hard to justify that I have to be paid less based on location.

There were people infected with Covid, in hospital, which still denied that Covid is real. Granted, those extremes are rare, but it shows how resilient in their beliefs deniers are. I think you are quite optimistic in thinking people will w

Here’s a maybe unpopular opinion: do we need to convince everyone? We just need to take action. This is about the survival of the civilization, not about pampering every lunatic.

But you can still ask the user to provide the email address (and I think I've seen this already in some apps), even if the user signs in with Apple w/ hidden email, right? Since you say you are already asking for permission to sha

You assume the interviewer is ideal: infinitely competent, infinitely great at judging other engineers' skills etc. This is practically never the case. I am not one for LC type of problems, but at the least I have to admit they have th

There is asymmetry involved, tho. They judge you as a single individual, while you have to judge an entire company from your experience with one single interviewer. The company can be employing thousands or even tens of thousands of enginee
