Most mechanics I know would grumble a bit after the third time. It's a bear of a job, and they'd make more profit doing twenty oil changes in the same amount of time. The DBA's job doesn't generally extend to fixing your

It relies on people to keep buying the second coin (Luna) in order that its price is supported to a level that the peg mechanics work. But there's no fundamental value anywhere in the system, you can't pay your taxes with this, it

It's even worse: many of the alcohol products for sale at duty free are exclusive to duty free, thus preventing any price comparison. They market this as an advantage (get a whisky you can't get anywhere else!) but at least in the

If the human customer service provides an off-ramp from being banned, then the fraudsters will use that too. So the question still boils down to the exact same thing in the end: how do you reliably tell the difference between the fraudste

"Risk" is incredibly broad. The linked article seems quite focused on disaster risk, which in terms of its increase is mostly climate-related. The perceived reduction in progress over decades may have more to do with societal chan

If you turn up a few times after destroying the gearbox from shifting into reverse on the highway, they might have a word. I don't condone the berating, I just mean to point out the source of the conflict [0]. A car (especially a moder

I think you're missing the point of the comment. There is no judgement on their capability there, merely an observation that a JS bootcamp probably doesn't adequately prepare you to manage a typical startup's entire tech stac

I think this kind of conflict often comes from frustration at developers not having much understanding of the underlying technology that the network engineer / DBA is responsible for. Networks & DBs present abstractions, but they&#

It's difficult though; giving the reason would directly lead to an explosion of fraud, because you are telling the fraudsters exactly what they screwed up and how to avoid the ban next time. Anti-fraud is basically all smoke and mirror

My company avoids Google Cloud and uses their competitors for exactly this reason - it's a business risk to depend on Google for anything. On the consumer side it would be hard to market the advantage though because everyone thinks it

"bought a vanity passport"? I've never heard that; my understanding is that he got a passport via the investment route, probably as a hedge in case he doesn't want to live in US any more, or because he likes NZ. What eve

The U.K., every country that issues diplomatic passports, Panama and probably others would like a word.

Really? US citizenship is a huge liability because of global taxation. If you have the opportunity to exchange it for another, and you don't want to live in the US, it seems like a no-brainer.

Australia made it borderline impossible and also restricted citizens from leaving (I think they were the only country to do so?)

The law is ultimately defined by the country; there is no fundamental law which could answer the question posed in your first sentence.

There are many countries with investment visas with much lower requirements, it may be worth broadening the search a little.

Wouldn't they just ... spend more than $500 per month ... to not sleep in a hallway? OP was interviewing for Meta, they should be able to afford rather more than $500 per month.
