I'm about 200km from the russian border right now. Having those a*holes go down would be definitely a cause for celebration. The in-fighting that will occur when the current government collapses will weaken them further. The Ukraine wa

The other guy is right. Moral relativism is not the way. There are limits to acceptance as you imply in your comment. Freedom is measurable and matters. How long is the list of things that you can do for which the state can repress you in S

Really? Why such a negative comment? As an example, I don't like when people touch my hair. Always had a hard time going to the hairdresser. Don't think that makes me mentally ill. People like different things. Ain't nothing

So you should be forced to IPO when a company valuation is 1b? Okay, fine. So if you IPO at 1b ( probably the valuation will drop after ipoing early but ok ) you are not considered a "psychopath" ? I'm sure all the employees

Curious. How do you see the system actually working - how do you stop at a billion? So, let's say you start a company. Then raise some VC money. You start getting users and things are going really well, but you aren't quite profit

Terminology matters. VCs are absolutely not writing €20k checks in Europe. Angel investors are.

But in this case copilot is not equivalent to copy-paste. When doing copy-paste, you are acting with knowledge of the source of the copied code and with intent to copy code. With copilot, you are not acting with knowledge of the source and

European, have these on my Volvo - they are great. In fact, they illuminate more of the side of the road than regular headlights. Basically, they split the beam into multiple sections and if it detects an oncoming car, it turns off the sect

Fantastic point! But I wonder why this happened. Why aren't the new US presidents like the totally fuckable jfk with his sexy wife? Did tech do this? Have the geek truly inherited the earth? And we have no idea what we really want? Ver

Right, I couldn't even answer "What percentage of the company is LGBTQ?" because why would you ask people that specifically?

Really? You think there is an ending to a sentence that starts with: "I think it is very fine to discriminate against people based in.." That's actually good?

Nor really as the grapes that grow are rather small and give relatively little juice. But of course maybe there is some small place that does...

I haven't heard of hops being used in cider making, but maybe they are used somewhere? But yeast is involved in any fermentation process. You could make both cider or wine without adding any external yeast, but then you have a high cha

by terryf 4y ago
For me the difference is in the process. Cider usually ends up being (slightly) carbonated and you let it interact with fresh oxygen. With wine making, you seal the bottle, add yeast and sugar and then add one of those circular tubes with w

You may very well be correct that it could be possible to make very good wine from other fruit but there's cultural stigma attached and the process isn't as well developed. In my country it's cold enough for grapes to not rea

by terryf 4y ago
I'm not an expert by any means but my understanding is that cider is usually carbonated - so you don't let all the CO2 escape. As for the apple wine it was made with yeast, sugar and then one of those curly tubes that don't l

Having grown up with relatives that made LOTS of home made wine from apple juice, I can assure you that wine can be and is made from many other things. The problem is that it just doesn't taste as good as the stuff made from grapes. I&

Because being miserable for 8 hours a day at work will leave you drained and depressed for the other 16. That makes socializing hard. Being exited and happy for 9 hours a day at work abd coming home with a sense of accomplishment can actual

Sure, that makes sense, but not for cassava! The article even says that the natives had no idea why they were getting sick! How did they connect the "can't use legs" to the cassava they ate? Again, I realize that it must have

The article explains well how the knowledge, once learned, is carried on. It's also a reasonable explanation for things that have an immediate feedback loop. Like fire - you start it and boom, you're not cold any more. Great, let&

Indeed you bring up a good point. There is risk. However, you never know what is the complete reason for someone getting fired, unless you are the one doing the firing. There are lots of things that do not get disclosed. It's also very

Absolutely. But it's also a question of what you want to optimize. Is it more about making sure you keep your current job, is it about maximizing income or is it about having peace of mind? First, figure out what is the probability of

Good luck! Hope it works out for you. There are always risks of course, but in the current market, keep in mind that it's highly likely that they need you more than you need them.

Absolutely! There is always a risk of stagnation and turning into a cynical downer, but if it goes well, then it goes really well.

Sure - it does depend on the company quite a bit, but still justifying a raise is always difficult. That's intentional. Doiing this is a big part of your job - figuring out who you should fight for and then fight for that person.

As a manager - I would love it if someone tells me that! This makes my life so much easier! It means, that I will not have to worry about figuring out a good place for you to grow into. It also means that I will not have to worry about find

Ticketmaster - could be. Visa? Hell no. I want to get my money back if someone steals my cc data. And I have gotten it back! No such luck with crypto if I lose my private key.
