Is Vespa working outside the rules/spirit of law of state DMVs by selling scooters that are 1cc under the requirement for motorcycle registration/tax/license? It seems like a pretty good analogy to me, with the main differenc

by tibbon 7y ago
I'm not sure. This feels a little like 49cc scooters (most states have 50cc license/registration requirements). The DMV in many states will look at you funny if you try to go register one to get a plate. It's literally 1cc un

And I know people are like, "Well, just follow the rules!", and they should... some people fly drones stupidly. BUT - it's worth pointing out that if you live in some cities like Boston, that it is nearly impossible to fly a

I was trying recently to prototype a multiplayer experience, and got pretty stalled when it came around to the networking side. My goal wasn't to make it fast/scalable, but rather just to be able to have 4 people sit at my kitchen

What questions (specifically) should have this person asked upfront when having their options offer prior to employment? What should have they asked long the way to check on when there were fundraising rounds?

Good. I find it unlikely to pass, but I'd like it to pass. If a CEO says publicly, "Our product is safe and good for the public, and there should be no concern" and it turns out they knew their product was actively harmful, o

There’s a lot of businesses that focus on legal compliance. Maybe they aren’t “uber for compliance”, but there’s plenty of compliance centric work out there

It’s a myth that reasonable accommodations are too much of a burden for a small business to handle. Having a menu made into Braille for example isn’t going to cost a ton. On the upside, they would also now have business available that they

I used to think that, but after long searching I have found that there are actually companies (often non-profits, but not always) that do hold reasonable morals. If this act didn't stand to hurt anyone, why did China care in the first
343.
by tibbon 7y ago
That might be true. I only really know my own experiences. I don't even have an engineering/CS degree, and have just taught myself everything. But, maybe I have some special experiences that others haven't had.

Apple's threatened moving a lot of production to India (which has its own problems, but shows moving is possible). The new Mac Pro is to be made in Texas, and I think Apple at one point was considering a chip plant there for the iPhone

Sure; but literally any day Tim Cook can say, "Ok China, I no longer play your game. Enjoy having no support or economic progress from us - bye". My point wasn't a specific developer (as you point out, they might have been in

Yea; but I'm a programmer/engineer. Last time I needed a job, I had a contract for $15k that month within two hours, and an interview for a full time position by the end of the day. People in our position have the power to do thin

I'm absolutely 100% certain that someone in the US was aware of this change, and signed off on it. What I'm saying is that there is no circumstance in which I'd personally do that, and as someone who is comparatively "ri

What's it take for an engineer in the US to actually do something like this? If my boss/product manager wanted me to do something like this, I'd be calling them out for shitty politics, and telling them they need to find a ne

In theory, could you make some ultra-modern SNES game using a modern ARM chip or such in the cart? Still some basic system limitations, but running pretty much everything on the add-on chip?

I have yet to understand why people are upset about the concept of China devaluing their currency and manipulation of it, and don’t have an issue with the US doing it.

My LG C8, which I've done anything on with apps aside from installing Amazon, Youtube and Netflix (which I hope are "safe" and "reputable") is frequently trying to connect out with what appears to be a rootkit in Go

How slow would something like this be, had someone tried to make it for a 386/486 era computer? Like, could have this technique been used effectively for 3d games of that era?

It’s fair to say that 7% is faster than wages increase for many people on average. Why should my rent outpace my income?

Cool- next up, a tax on vacant properties. Maybe they will have to sell. Perhaps the people can again seize the means of production (part of that being stable housing). I’d far rather know another 100,000 units are owned by the people that

Yea, that's what I've come around to. Thanks for confirming that's a good path.

One thing that confuses me about Python is just how many projects don't specify if the app is supposed to use 2 or 3, and the correct answer isn't 'either'. Check out something from Github, only to find I actually do nee

I don’t have a citation, but MIT and the defense/energy industry are definitely intertwined and everyone on campus knows it. Most universities don’t have something like Lincoln Labs, which is literally a DoD research center: https:&#x

I've always been curious of what EA's side of things was here. Are they really just money-hungry executives who like buying brands to suck the money out of them and kill anything good there? Or do they have other motivations and r
