They got themselves into a mess here: > This turns out to have a lot of complexity lurking within. Slack does not share a common codebase or even runtime; services in the user-facing request path are written in Hack, Go, Java, and C++. T

It's crazy how slow Windows 11 is on modern hardware. Even on a modern CPU, with 16gb ram, it takes serious time to load things. Very sluggish compared to a Macbook Air of a similar price point. I can't imagine that big a differen

That hood popping system is also in BMWs, it may have become mandatory by now. Is it not included in US models?

Yes but this whole article is about people that have many many options and considering 400k offers. If you don't expect much options, just accept one and continue looking for the next one?

It makes no sense at all for the company or recruiter to hide the range for you. Because they would be wasting their timing doing all kinds of meetings if your expected number is far above that range.

In my experience hiring, we know the benchmark numbers for the roles. Because we have current employees in those roles and we want to understand whether we're paying them fairly. Not out of some kind of deep kindness, but because other

The floor should be the number that you don't feel bad about accepting. That indeed includes your perception of alternatives. If your floor is higher than what you're going to get, you'll miss a few jobs and then learn that y

Modern cars are very safe for the occupants compared to all previous iterations. It's the people by foot or bike you crash those cars into that are in a bad place.

Most of these shitty apps pay over 10 dollars to the payment companies to process a chargeback. And if they get too many their rates increase or they get kicked out. So chargebacks for bullshit "fines" is a great solution to teach

I close the YouTube app anytime it makes me watch more than a 5 seconds skippable ad. This was one of those times so I have no idea what was in the video :-) In other words: Fuck Google and their ad bullshit.

If you have enough cash the easy solution is to never pay and just accept the fines. One of my colleagues did this for a few years in Amsterdam. We all thought he was crazy, but his total in parking fines was lower than the total most of us

Same experience. But in the US everything seems 99% anti-consumer while the majority of consumers keep supporting/voting for these things. Not just parking, also banking ($ 30 overdraft fee mentioned in the article), telecom, health in

There are regulations for those, at least in Europe a cleaning and automatic leveling system is mandatory. Which avoids scattered light and ensures they're pointed downwards. The most annoying lights around here are all on Tesla's

Amsterdam is one of the least livable cities of the Netherlands. Everywhere else is just as easy if not better to bike and walk, but not nearly as traffic-jammed or as full of tourists.

It is called the "thuiskopieer heffing" which is literally the "home copy tax". Making a non commercial copy of a copyrighted work at home (not distribute it) is absolutely legal in the Netherlands. The fee is not about

As part of that < 50% investment the articles of incorporation are going to change to give them at least some control. Unless you're an outlier like Wework and we all know how that ended: https://finance.yahoo.com/ne

$100M to 0 sounds plausible for a founder with common stock in a VC led company with little success. You can raise a lot of money without much revenue or track record, but it will come with all kinds of liquidation preferences leaving commo

I used to be a big Android advocate years ago when I wrote a lot of code myself. Now I prefer a locked down iPhone that always works at maybe a bit higher cost. It feels like many more people have gone through that switch. Even though I&#x2

They can relocate that part to the Netherlands. Copying without public distribution is explicitly legal, and all storage media and smartphones carry a "tax" that's given to the rights holders to compensate them for this. For

1 euro per kW of capacity isn't that low, residential systems can get below that and it includes installation cost and an inverter which would both scale better for a bigger system.

For less than 15 billion euro you could buy enough solar to power a country the size of the Netherlands. With 5 billion to spend on batteries you might even make it through night time usage. Or in other words: Fusion is too expensive at thi

Ah thanks. I thought I remembered from ground school that this was added afterwards. Interesting that the FO flying from the left seat did not recognise that callout as a big thing to react to.

Yes it will announce "priority right", but it's not normal to take control from the captain (and also highly unusual to take control from the first officer outside of training). Unless you're avoiding an immediate safety

Indeed. Other controls would have caused a wrestling match over the controls with probably the same outcome. I believe the best solution is what Airbus implemented after this incident. An alert if there is dual input, and a button for the c
