   I'm having a hard time imagining a compelling case that the lobbyists could present though. Are most of these representatives just willfully corrupt? I hate to vilify people unduly but it is becoming hard to understand the thought pr

   Is there a good reason why a representative would vote in favor of this?

   I'll never fly United again. I had a similar experience for 14 hours. It isn't just the in flight entertainment. In my experience their staff are rude and borderline incompetent. There must be a poor culture in the company as

   I agree. I think that a lot of it lies in the fact that it is hard for a lot of people to understand how digital surveillance works and they feel powerless to change it anyway. So they dismiss it away by not caring. Just my best guess on

   Unfortunately I have found that most people aren't shocked when I explain this to them. Most commonly they just say That their life is boring and they've got nothing to hide. Additionally they think that it may be worth the inva

   Why does he think he's so special? Didn't Bush followed by Obama tap ALL of our communications via The NSA? Are physical wiretaps even a thing anymore at that high a level? Edit: punctuation.

   I run a timeout function that checks for delays in execution and I cross reference this with what is running at the time and move that to a web worker. In my cause this ends up being when I do heavy lifting like merging lots of Float32Arra

   I should add that someone from the AWS team reached out to me in response to this comment asking for feedback on how they can improve their usability. So I give them credit for that.

    Not being able to legally fire an employee that isn't working out can put a lethal amount of stress on a new company. New Zealand can do whatever they like but this can deter new businesses from operating there. Which is fine but is

    I certainly believe in giving people multiple chances but I'm not interested in involving the gov't in these sorts of decisions. Guess I'm uncivilized.

    I appreciate you taking the time to explain. I'm in the process of making decisions on a new cloud storage provider so this is helpful.

    Specifically what I understood about NZ labor law is that you can't easily fire someone that isn't working out for whatever reason. You have to have a history of documentation and written warnings to validate the cause. While th

    I was speaking from the perspective of a bootstrapped startup founder. As I understood it, it can be quite hard to legally fire someone. This could easily be the end of an early stage company. Take my advice on this with a grain of salt

    Christchurch winters are rough because it is pretty humid there and most people don't have central heating. It isn't so cold temperature wise but It feels more cold in general than other places I have lived in The Rockies.

    I lived there for a year. My wife is a kiwi so we visit from time to time. Lovely people, scenery, and weather. You need to be near a major hub. Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch. Outside of that is mostly very rural and has little op

    I'm in the process of moving to GCS mostly based on how byzantine the AWS setup is. All kinds of crazy unintuitive configurations and permissions. In short, AWS makes me feel stupid.

    I was pondering to myself recently that if Jesus had returned in secret, my best guess would be that he was Mr. Rogers. A bit of a joke but I sure wish people could say the same about me!

    Thank you! Hmmm.. As far as the process for design. I use Sketch 3 to prototype the design. I definitely stretched my abilities a bit as I'm not usually a designer. I basically just tried to focus on ease of use and to make it feel

    I watched his hearing and was really expecting to dislike the guy. He actually sounded very reasonable and had well thought out answers to each question. Whether he can truly avoid any conflict of interest has yet to be seen. He is defin

    Speed is the biggest thing Oz needs. I lived there for a year and the speeds and latency are wel below what you would expect for a country of it's stature.

    Not really much of a counter point but you can actually scratch cassette tapes. This guy shows how cool it can be. Never seen anyone else do it though. I want to build my own at some point. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7

    It is your money that they spend now instead of properly invest. Regardless of what should be, there is little hope that it will be worth much to us in the future.
