If it’s rate limited it’s handling the concurrency for you. Just back off from the rate limit.

Not actually that hard with a redis lock or any database (Postgres has a specific lock for this but you could also just use a record in a table) Far easier than the original single threaded solution - and has fault tolerance baked in cause

I dunno, seems like a really confusing question. Communication is important but I can imagine that explaining this verbally on the spot to an interviewee would not be straightforward especially because the assumptions made around single thr

I would agree and it’s what we should be aiming for. As it is people are just throwing up their hands “what can you do”. Well close all the loopholes for one. I would go as far as to say the vast majority of the loopholes are just grift in

Why the hate on California apparently it’s 11th in the country with 43% renewable https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_renew... Lot of others that could be complained about (like Florida and Arizona)

Makes sense, there are lots of requirements for communication retention in financial institutions. If I recall the phone lines are permanently recorded on trading desks by regulators so if anything does happen they have all the info... it&#

People seem to be missing the point here. I think it is fair to assume that the US intelligence apparatus has inside knowledge on how comprised or otherwise different platforms are. They are the experts in compromising apps so I'm goin

I thought this was sarcasm initially, but I think on looking at the rest of your comments that you are actually being serious. wow. Glad I've never had the pleasure of working with you.

But why are you not including all the people who have won. Surely the calc is, the number of money gambled in startup equity versus the amount of money gambled in the lottery. Do startups payout at .5 or above, I think not.

But why can't you win n smaller prizes, money being fungible and all we can just tot up the smaller prizes.

as an aside, I got to reading some lottery winning tips ( https://www.smartluck.com/free-lottery-tips/california-fanta... ). A real interesting hodge podge of statistical fallacies and other wishful thinkings but at the

I've worked at startups that have had exits and the employees got zilch. I think even in the startups with exits the probability of an employee having their equity turn into cash money is very low (also I doubt 50% of startups have exi

I think you are confusing how lotteries work, most lotteries have additional prizes not just the big grand prize. There are a range of prizes.

That’s an interesting thought experiment actually. If you think about the amount of money given up as a startup employee you will definitely get some winnings. For example, say as a startup employee you are earning/being compensated 80

The only explanation that makes sense to me, is that there are some psychopaths in charge of American foreign policy and their thinking goes like this. 1) we want to control oil and oil prices because it’s crucial to our bank accounts. 2) i

If describing events that took place is being dramatic , then I guess so? Imagine if someone installed a puppet king in the USA to exploit the resources of the US for their gain, would you think that would be dramatic? As for the Islamic re

What if we instead we were just responsible for killing all of their kids, would that work? I could see that working in the US just randomly kill a bunch of peoples kids and that would calm everything down.

Disabled parking is a communal sacrifice that we as humans respect. I see the free parking in the best spot closest to the place I’m going and I don’t take it because I am a normal human. Sure some people are asseholes, but the vast majorit

If not having a clue was a crime every startup founder would be in jail.

I think you have it muddied a little. Consumers often accept less convenient options because it is the right thing to do. Humans are a collective species and we make sacrifices for each other all the time. Quick examples at this level plast

this is worth thinking about. The idea that the small toll charge actually pays for the streets it covers is flat out untrue. The citizens of the US vastly subsidize the streets and roads of the country. Just purchasing the land used for ro

You are 100% correct, nobody wants to work with a "rock star" on a team. When I hear "rock star" I think diva. The best teams are made up of a group of competent people who get on with each other and do great work togeth

The basic (marketing) problem is find where your users hang out and go meet them there. Usually for these kinds of products your customers will congregate somewhere online, reaching them though can be very tough. Try and drill down super na

I really wonder if there is something else at play here. None of this is normal behavior and it's very strange for it to be normalized. Day 4 no more deliveries but we still have takeout! For real, you can still order food from your lo

Jam is generally shelf stable. The sugar is really good at killing bacteria (deprives them of water iirc).
