most bars have scanners that will warn if the same id is scanned twice. it means that someone producing fake ids would at least need a repository of valid barcodes such that two purchasers wouldn't experience the birthday problem tryin

Canada doesn't have "open borders" or "free mobility" with "east asia" in the way that people are boogeymanning. The closest approximation is the united states under NAFTA. There is lots of poverty in Amer

brutalism doesn't refer to the architecture being "brutal". it refers to "béton brut" - french for 'raw concrete'. in this case, brutalism could be more readily understood as 'rawism'. it also em

I think it really depends by what you mean when you say vegan. If you’re eating vegan cheeses and whatnot you’re probably not doing so hot. Or impossible burgers. Or any other manner of “invented” food that is not essentially basic agrarian

Truly. Aetna, United Healthcare, Anthem, etc are examples of industry that does not need to exist, and exist only to serve the status quo. Each of those are companies worth billions of dollars that could be instead used to lower the individ

12gb is a huge downgrade. I was going to buy an 11 Pro, but now I might just grab a 10 Pro instead. What is the 11 buying me, some extra attention grabbing lights and a small redesign? in exchange for less memory? Oy vey.

I agree. I'm looking at replacing my braun series 7 shaver, and I'd love if the replacement product had usb-c. what really gets me though is products that support usb-c and then don't support PD, so you end up charging at a g

That's actually fine, but the people who oppose rent control would probably not accept that because that's basically the system (give or take) that already exists in places where rent control already exists. My ex also had a lease

by jpalawaga 3mo ago
I've lived in properties with no form of rent control whatsoever. Landlords issuing 10%+ rent increases is awful. it denies you the stability that's granted by fair/consistent rent increases. It erodes the community fabric by

I suspect the ceo of greenhouse wasn't saying 'and there will never be another new ats again.' that's a ridiculous thing to say, as evidenced by the fact that greenhouse and lever both cropped up. the reality actually is

This is a very “taxation is theft” take. Everyone knows that many things that are not directly beneficial to society would go unfunded because humans optimize for what’s around them, and things that are self-interested. There isn’t even ali

if your supplier promises you an iPhone 17 Pro, and then delivers you a Pixel 4a because 'thats all you need', you will be understandably miffed.

depends on the grant type and what scenario we're talking about. things change if we're talking about 3-legged oauth or client-device oauth. for example, in an authorization code flow, the refresh token is useless without the clie

OAuth with refresh tokens. IAM roles/workload identity. Even time-limited or signed JWT, though has a separate issues. Maybe you'll say 'those are both just text values passed like an apikey' though api keys don't f

alberta could also have had a wealth fund if it didn't have 0% sales tax, didn't do things like ralphbucks, etc. norway and alberta take fundamentally different approaches to how they see the government and taxation. don't bl

From everything I've heard, running LTSC is not a good idea for a daily-driver pc. App support/compatibility is annoying and not guaranteed. I guess if you have a small set of unchanging apps that you use and that's all it co

Honestly they should go in the other direction. Real people, real conversations. Upload an ID or a CC transaction or something in order to prove your identity, and require re-ups every few years. the downside is no anonymity. The upside is,

That I can't tell whether "the wheels coming off," is literal or figurative when it comes to Tesla is an indictment about their product quality at this point. What a disaster. I don't really know anyone who is voluntaril

or tech lead. or whoever. the point is, someone has to do the sizing. I think applying an underpowered agent to a task of unknown size is about as good as getting the intern to do it. Even EMs and TPMs are assigning people based on their pr

by jpalawaga 6mo ago
Yeah... you split tasks into consecutively smaller tasks until it's estimateable. I'm not saying that can't be done, but taking a large task that hasn't been broken down needs, you guessed it, a powerful agent. that&#x27

Except developers can’t even do that. Estimation of any not-small task that hasn’t been done before is essentially a random guess.

drinking out sucks now. it's too expensive. landlords are killing drinking out. I love drinking craft beer. but when a single craft beer reaches up to $15 a beer, there's only so much I will partake, especially if I can have a $1
