I mean, more likely to be primed by a name of a guy in the town then randomly selecting a low prevalence name that happens to ALSO be the name of the guy in the town. It’s not that the marginal probability of using a known name is high, it’

Part of concern is vulnerabilities in your devices when exposed to the internet. The manufacturer doesn’t have to be malicious, just infosec incompetent.

Timescaledb the company wants to make money from their managed service, thus they are protecting it from competition. That’s fine. They are not true open source but that’s fine too.

I still feel the best bet for terraforming Mars is deorbiting ice asteroids. They are already available and already solid. Can provide co2 or water depending on asteroid type. Still need a source of N2.

First, I accept that there are cases where extreme specialization is important. I just think these cases are few and far between. The main skill for senior/staff swe is not in knowing or not knowing some technology, but rather 1. Picki

From site: > You can get it in your app store, there are no in-app purchases and no ads. This suggests that pricing the app is the only revenue source. It is very reasonable that the creators aren’t just donating their work.

Three years should be enough for a decent project to go from inception to production. Realistically you will join a big project in mid-progress so three years is def enough. I agree with grandop that 5 years is prob the time limit before mo

If you know 10 different tech stacks you probably have immense breadth and can learn/do new things easily. That’s is incredibly valuable. There is a massive difference when you are learning a new stack for 11th time vs 2nd or 3rd time.

That sounds super interesting. Can you describe some of the interesting design patterns/clever implementations you saw? I feel like there is a lot of benefit in looking at weird languages as it opens your mind to new ways of solving p

Strange, my Chinese citizen wife got her conditional green card within ~6 months of application (about a year ago, we’ve been married less than 2 years and she took a few months to apply since her status wasn’t pressing). One thing they ask

Postmodernism in philosophy is associated with rejection/skepticism of common narrative (eg reject absolutism in Marxism/capitalism/etc). He claims he understands the common trends (in “infoops”) and goes beyond them, which

Probably JPMorgan actually owns shares in a fund. You buy notes that have the appropriate fractional value of the fund. Presumably they will exchange notes for shares post IPO.

Sure, my claim is exactly that there are infinitely more propositions that are not about justice. My claim is that justice concerns a finite set of propositions that can be enumerated (as in, murdering someone involves propositions related

But ethics is an ill defined social construct. It might also apply to a finite set of circumstances. Going back to concrete laws, there vast swaths of human effort not covered by law. For example, there is no law either guaranteeing my righ

That’s not what it means. It means there will be things not covered by law, which is probably fine. There is no need for law to be all covering. I posit that the set of things that is desireable for law coverage is finite.

In the US with ATT I currently pay $90/month (15.2x more!) for "5Ge" (fake 5G, which is actually 4G). At home, with not quite full bars, I have 87Mbps down, 3.9Mbps up (higher than article says average for ATT 5G). The plan i

As a former wsj subscriber I wish I could pay a la cart for the article. Perhaps $1-2? $37/month is high for a news source I usually read less than 5 articles per month. I already pay for Bloomberg/Economist/NYT/New York

Legally it depends on intent, which would be very hard to prove. Unless senior execs wrote emails saying “let’s buy option to manipulate the market” or colluded with other market participants, it is safe. However, it is not “always” safe.

I mean like other public cloud providers it would make sense to have instances and per minute pricing for an instance. If there is only one instance type that's fine.

You commented on “cost of violence”, if you talk about cost of violence this includes illegal activity.
