Thanks for the clarity! I didn’t see the actual weight in the description so thought I’d make an educated guess.

I got mine very early, it’s kind of neat. I do no security for my job so it’s purely a hobby thing. And although I like things like robots and raspberry pis, I’ve found myself mostly at a loss for what to do with the Flipper, aside from som

This is funny, with that size of fully filled with tungsten the small flat rate box must be 40-45lbs. That’s massive for something of that size and lack of carryability. The same size as the large weights for barbells at the gym.

I nearly get hit by someone on a bicycle every time I’m there. Hopefully bicycles are banned next.

My company immediately sues anyone who leave to join a competitor, and even more viciously attacks I would assume if someone were to actually start a competing business.

I guess the somewhat cynical question-answer to that question is: As a business, is their mission to be productive and make great products, or to make employees happy to the detriment of the company’s productivity?

Same, anytime the family creates a new account that everyone else should have access to (utilities, streaming services, bank information, pass codes, etc) we just create it in the shared vault. It’s a game changer.

Thanks for the hysteria, “throwaway account.” But it is obvious to even the most casual observer that it’s 5G networks causing all of this.

This will be a great comment section full of people with their own pre-baked pet theories on what exactly is causing this. I’m sure microplastics, chemicals in foods, and “kids these days” will certainly make an appearance.

I haven’t tried many alternatives, but I needed a fast, self-hosted vector similarity search that had the ability to cull results based on a second criterion. Milvus has worked really well for me. It does take a ton of memory though such th

For me, as a super liberal on nearly all topics, their non news stories seemed to have left me behind. I’ll be on the way to work listening to NPR and the segment will just be so off the wall I really have to do a double take. This happens

Probably the same way conservative media portrays US joblessness as starting from other countries and their immigrants, and it’s clear that people who consume that media really buy into that way of thinking. People in echo chambers are part

The quantization to four hits doesn’t have that much effect on the output. 1 bit might not either, but someone would need to do some testing before making the claim that “1 bit … runs on my RPI3” because “runs” is a bit overloaded to mean “

Ah, that makes sense. I have no dog in the fight and am far from the emotion of having a visa delayed in this circumstance. I would say that it was much more likely to be some level of incompetence than malice, having dealt with large gover

I read the travel issues post you linked, but am not seeing the causal link you’re drawing between development of software and visa issues. Was there more to the story?

Well your strong knowledge of the unemployment system in relation to your cruel comment rules out one side of Hanlon’s Razor anyways.

I think of people like David Sacks preaching libertarianism and not taking money from the government until the moment things seemed uncertain at which point he’s practically begging for government bail out. I think given his influence and h

I checked unemployment briefly during all the layoffs and the checks were just a fraction of my regular paycheck. Further, the process is arduous and takes a while before the first check is received. Even further, it’s not clear to me that

Typically a company starts with ISOs or similar, and then moves to RSUs when they are confident there will be an IPO or other liquidation event in the foreseeable future. In this case, Stripe did that, and only later started issuing RSUs.

I would, personally, love to read at least one source. Which you didn’t even provide for some reason. And I mean that, I would happily read any source you provide, with a preference for more academic sources.

I go to the Milk Bar location sometimes, and while I’m not a giant fan of how sweet things are there, it’s very very hard to pay rent at that location and stay profitable. You need to sell a lot of cookies and it always seemed like a ghost

Can’t tell how bad this is. I tried this site for these tickets and: 1. It’s pretty clear that the price per ticket is times the number of tickets, so I wouldn’t confuse a small amount per ticket for the TOTAL amount (it says $900 x 4 for f

It is illegal to steal software or proprietary technology, and will continue to be. Outside of this, anting to stop someone from using skills they acquired to practice their desired profession is an awful take.

This is so on point, back in the 20s I got my first tech job by putting an onion on my belt (that was the style at the time) and going to the company with a resume and shaking their hand and not releasing until they agreed to give me a job.

My read wasn’t a defense of Apple and in fact I agree with the criticism. My read was that it’s tired and dull to keep harping on exactly the same feedback for a decade as though it’s unique. Clickbait headline “I replaced my MacBook with a

Sure I guess the same way I have a choice between having a job and unemployment. Not an ideal system I agree, but until we get universal income or my startup IPOs thems the breaks.

Every contractor I’ve known has done so with the downside being what you said, and choosing the upside of more flexible work or higher pay. People don’t seem to be forced into contracting?

I am not the person to whom you’re responding, but I feel compelled to say that I would very much recommend you broaden whatever literature or media you consume. Your statements are really at odds with a more nuanced reality. I don’t think

My argument if I were Binance would be that no reasonable person would have seen these statements and believed them or took them at face value so they don’t have to abide by them.
