Agreed. I think this is one area I’d hope to see exceptions for on any implementation. I can’t attest to how fair of a process this is, but MTA seems to be giving medical exceptions some lip service: https://new.mta.info/tol

I think this policy is only feasible in cities with decent public transportation. I’d struggle to list any more than 1-2 other American cities where this could be done though. A lot of cities that do have public transportation seem to have

Vagrant’s popularity seems to have died down with Docker containers but it’s by far my favorite way to make dev environments. Several years ago I worked somewhere that prohibited web browsers and development tools on laptops. If you needed

Not sure if I agree with an engineer inherently being better here. The ideal case is having leadership who uses the product, or at least is willing to walk in the shoes of an end-user. Plenty of engineers do not do this either.

And my friends are from a sports group that meets up every Sunday, who aren’t any bit related to work. Some people prefer meeting others outside of work and there’s nothing wrong with it. My coworkers are wonderful folks but, frankly, won’t

Sure but that’s just unrealistic to expect getting everything and at the price point you want. Pi’s niche is the ecosystem. It hasn’t been about cheap in a long while.

I disagree with the assertion of “rushing the hire” right now. Nobody in their right mind is waiting on 1 candidate for several weeks to maybe hear from them unless there aren’t other good options. And unless you’re notorious and exceptio

I'm in the US and my current IP address puts me in an area about 30 miles away currently. However, last year up until a few weeks ago my IP would place me in my current ZIP code (using ipinfo). My city is comprised of several ZIP codes

I wonder if apps are abusing background app refresh to do this on iOS. My understanding is that it isn't difficult to create a background task that can periodically make network requests. Just have a background task make a HTTP request

It's an employer's market. Why would an employer want to wait 3-4 weeks for someone to interview elsewhere when there's a dozen other candidates in the pipeline?

I think there's a few things to consider though: 1. Not all gamers use the features that may be annoying to use on Linux. Anecdotally, only a handful of friends use streaming and most of the time it's to play party games. 2. I th

There’s a reason it’s being implemented in an open source application that gets actual use instead of a random-word-generated-elevator-pitch being chased by VC funds and dinosaurs in the stock market.

Focusing on cheap would be the real “niche” area here. There are plenty of alternative boards if price is your driving concern.

I'd be willing to bet that it's valuation is completely detached from the social network and is simply a way investors are using to bet on Trump's brand. The social network is just tagging along for the ride. Similar to Tesla

I suggest you consider looking how much it costs to go through the legal system, as it seems your assertion is based in a theoretical understanding of our system. Filing a civil suit can be pretty expensive if you want a lawyer -- which, ye

It's a different type of activity though. Facebook and Instagram's (pre-Reels) strength was that it was easy to have accounts of all sizes engage and be engaged with. Whether you have 10 or 100000 friends/followers/etc,

I'd cheer for a correction if it were limited to social media valuations. My fear is that social media tanks followed by people broadly pulling money out of the market.

Going back even further, one of the initial draws of Instagram pre-acquisition was that you could escape the toxicity of trolls and other socially unproductive behavior on Facebook. Meta has a big problem coming up. They'll get to the

This isn't just an outsourcing/H1B thing. I think the current H1B rhetoric is partially used as a distraction from a bigger shift: a broad deprioritization of US hiring by US firms. The company I work for stopped hiring anyone clo

I don't agree with the idea that $5 is on the high side. After infrastructure and DNS, I think it's the most important tool for using the internet (at least for most people in most cases). It's what most people use to actuall

As a former president of the United States, I’m inclined to agree but the random made up data needs to be subtle enough not to warrant suspicion.

It's amusing that the TikTok ban is being hyped up as solving the problem. Banning TikTok won't solve a thing, nor will banning much from China. We need a re-think of what it means to use technology in a connected world. Actually

The last remark ignores that there are two tiers of legislation in our American system: the constitution (state or federal) which has acted as a “North Star” of sorts, and legislation passed by a body. What’s one person’s “step outside thei

If you’re buying and implementing a HSM, you really ought to understand this concept. After all, you’re getting paid to. I do not expect random consumers to understand this concept. It’s grossly irresponsible and is simply user abuse. I lov

CHIPS and the Inflation Reduction Act are two of the most underrated domestic policy bills in recent American history. Conservative-driven contrarian politicking aren't doing the country any favors.

This is less of a streaming subscription issue as much as a Netflix issue. Netflix doesn't have to use the metric of "time spent on platform". Their goal seems to want to be the everything-streaming-app and are willing to p
