The trouble with these reactive emotions is that they’re twice removed from reality. You see a tiger in the distance, your body pumps itself with adrenaline and you get ready for fight or flight. But the brain and the body don’t work on abs

Automated phone systems are completely useless after the advent of the internet and the smartphone. Anything on any company's IVR is more accessible on the app or the website. There's no way I'd call my bank from the bank&#x2

Doesn't necessarily need to be hosted, although given that people are fine with running Quickbooks or any other SaaS it's hard to see why they wouldn't be fine with ledger SaaS. Can still make a case for licensing, though, de

Any indication as to whether this was career or family money?

Unfortunately, it's literally come to mean of opposite of what it actually means.

AWS does have a preview available, so you can try it for non production workloads and report problems if any. That should speed up the GA release as well.

But all points seem to indicate that the food was good and clean, and he went through great trouble to keep it that way. But why is someone making food more obligated to continue doing so than someone making non-food?

That seems like a partial mis-characterization - he did insist that the buyer keep the company as an independent unit and retain all the employees, which is about as much as you can do when you’re selling. And he was likely tired and burnin

Same thing the original Americans did when protesting the massively better trained and armed British Army. Keep their wits about them and keep fighting. If anything the war in Afghanistan has proven that technology is no match for resilienc

The premise is about current chemical propellants and structural components. If you build a rocket out of nanotubes with nuclear propulsion you could go wherever you want from anywhere else. Except black holes.

Yeah, that’s what they give on the iMac Pro as base, so it’s not like they’d never do it. But it’s clear they’re deliberately under configuring the base to force complete customisation, which is what I assume the kinds of people buying this

But aren’t test pilots specially clued on to the plane, the features they’re testing and how to react in problem situations? That’s like testing car airbags with stuntmen who know how to crash without getting hurt anyway.

This assumes the skill variance among pilots is pretty low. Average not in skill (I don’t think there’s a way to rate or rank pilots) but in specialised Boeing plane specific training. The problem with Boeing’s assumption was that pilots wo

Depends entirely on workflow. A lot of shops will have all of their stuff on a 10G NAS share, so you’re actually forbidden from copying to and from your computer because it’s just stupid and sometimes slower to do so.

Only when they cleared their orbits, around the beginning of the solar system. Doubt they'd see much impact now.

We’re using Serverless where it fits and carrying on with our lives. I don’t feel the need to try and defend tools, because it’s exhausting. There are certain load graphs for which regular servers can’t follow the line in time, some for whi

This seems to be a common misconception because of the way the property is named. What we’re referring to is the maximum speed of information through the fabric of space time. Light (photons) travel at that speed when unimpeded, as do neut

So before Stripe goes the way of Paypal, there seems to be something that can be done about this. I'm assuming Stripe has enough funds to hire for customer support, and given that businesses are Stripe's main customers, isn't

It's 40,000kg, so about 400 heavy people or a handful of elephants. Might not be fun if you're under it, but not particularly damaging to the planet.

That seems really odd. The employees who have these cards are often expected to spend multiple times their yearly salary on company business. Personal guarantees simply wouldn’t work.

Have you tried Rubocop? It automatically reformats code according to an opinionated style guide (which I think aligns with your opinion).

Everyone as happy as long as everything was going well, and the mood fell when the lander stopped reporting. What conflict?

This can do with even simpler phrasing - Stripe carries the risk of the business underperforming in exchange for the business carrying the “risk” of over performing. In a regular loan, the bank makes you bend over backwards to prove you’re

It’s a 20% APR only if you’re paying it back really quickly - and if you’re generating so much revenue that you’re going to pay it back quickly why would you need the money at all? For businesses that expect a slow payback, the APR isn’t ne

No, payday loans are a different and much more exploitative beast. This seems closer to a shared earnings agreement - Stripe puts in day 10k in exchange for 8% of your daily earnings, with a cap of 12k. If you do well cash out within a week

They're offering a cryptographically signed mirror - the first mainstream one available. You can either run your own personal mirror, run one for your company, or turn it off.

Rolex is an interesting example, because their value is actually based on utility, not style. People actually (used to) wear them a mile under the sea, measure oxygen with them while diving etc. You can’t trust a Timex with your life, but a
