I get the idea but what good is putting my money under the couch? Inflation will just eat it away.

With SI and SIVB falling off, this is no surprise.

If withdraws are frozen then yes it would mean whoever's left in is insolvent - they can't make payroll. At that point, you'd need a fed bailout. Because they're FDIC insured you'd have up-to 250k coming back, but t

Historically it was pricing of Windows IIS and that I'm a person completely enveloped by the Apple ecosystem. Not sure if either of those points matter 8+ yrs on since I last looked, but I know I'm not the only developer who has t

God ASP.Net is incredible. I mean it is what runs StackOverflow on "minimal" hardware. I'm a Rails, Django guy and we run into exactly what you're talking about. The speed we can pump out features is fantastic in both, b

I don't understand this statement. Are you trying to use banking-software-2002.exe file to transfer a balance? The IA is a best effort (and a damned good one too) and so if I want to get Commander Keen running again I can! I still run

Anecdotally, I was connected to a number of people on the Ads team and years ago, the upper ups in the G machine were already extremely nervous of Amazon's internal ads system. Google has been regularly losing marketshare to Amazon bec

I think that's the point though? It's trying to educate us that we should pay attention to that difference as we can the block of text.

Thanks I appreciate the wisdom.

I appreciate the feedback but it looks like we won't see eye-to-eye. > did the comment try to use startups to make MLMs look less bad, and in fact it did the exact opposite. So you read OP's comment and thought "Wow, MLMs

> This feels like concern baiting. I'll agree with you on this because I am trying to switch the concern - putting it back on how bad MLMs are in line with the article. If you read the article and then read the most upvoted comment,

I'll buck the trend and downvote. I dislike the hard-link comparison to startups. I personally know people who got sucked into MLMs and are almost exclusively lower income families. There are literal playbooks, talking points from the

I don't think this works well in terms of safety. If it's a low light area, it's beacon to your location. Only thing that would be worse is lights turning on headed in my direction! Even if it was a simple car headed down the

not sure if you'll see this, but agreed! This is what I'm referring to as "housing on the books" you've got this insane infrastructure that goes beyond simply charging. I also agree, how much time are people willing

by irjustin 4y ago
The first point barely makes sense if you can have more than one bay. Also it's about how many can you swap in an hour vs charge? The base expectation is you'll be able to do way more cars since they don't have to sit and wai

This is fair and my response to that was: > There should be equal ratios of women in Dev vs QA for all races But it is flawed - it could be easily argued that this group of people are way more sexist than others which could account for t

Disagreed. Any sufficiently complex app will have mutation dependent tests regardless of where that complexity is stored, models/services/controllers?!/views!? The point is you want to "replay" all mutations in each

I largely agree with the sentiment of the article. For startups, feature tests - and mostly happy paths. Integration tests for anything super complex that you cannot reason in your head easily. The feature test catches everything breaking t

agreed and obviously running this in a VM is the way to go. i'm impressed at the amount of effort this person put in.

Super interesting, how would we regulate this space? Would it be similar to how we regulate the weapon systems and things related to it? From my perspective, seems quite difficult

Feels like it would be better to have 2 batteries, dedicated charging "shed", and fast swap ability? Storing the bike outdoors continuously in the sun, wears on the condition considerably faster than indoors. Having the solar pane

Listening to that audio is incredible almost chilling. The calmness in the voices. I understand this is how they are selected, trained and ultimately operate everyday moment-to-moment but the gap is so far for me I can't begin to under
