It's really ridiculous, too. I went to the ER for stomach pains in california for 3 hours (ct scan, IV, and morphine). It was $3500 (no healthcare). I was in college and talked to them and paid around $800. I went to the ER in Japan ov

I just looked at the site and it sounds real exciting (but way too difficult for me). Can I ask how you guys are funded? I saw that there is a ~$2000 payout for the winner of the most recent challenge.

Traffic in Tokyo is much worse because freeways are few and far between in Japan (and with very, very expensive tolls). I have to take the local roads if I go anywhere, so a 10km drive ~6 miles takes about 30-40 minutes. When I lived in Ber

Is that a bad thing? There is a reason the government subsidizes pure electric cars and requires car manufacturers to make electric cars (albeit they only do it to meet the quota). I understand it's going to punish those who really can

What is a underwriters/handicraft? Are they writers paid by the company to write bearish articles about them and have 'no' affiliation so there's no disclaimer?

I don't understand what the advantage of companies going public is. If they are public don't they have to essentially "force" profits for their shareholders? Wouldn't a company that has a sustainable income that doe

I can imagine licensing being a terrible PIA for programmers. If you work only in c# at work and learn some new language during your free-time, getting a license for the new language could be so time-consuming and not worth it (studying the

I'd say 10,000 from businesses in the USA alone. A lot of companies use twitter as their makeshift tech support and public image. $1/month for a company is completely irrelevant to their spending.

Yup I made an account several years ago to tweet to a support staff because I couldn't login. The next day my account was "suspended" or banned for something like "being a bot." Never looked back.

Back in 2013 my wife and I traveled to Victoria from Seattle and on the way back the immigration officer took us in and 'interrogated' us because her documentation was wrong. She was on a student visa that allowed re-entry but we

I surely wasn't aware that they gave up their tax exempt status. Huge props to them.

I probably put in about 100k miles on motorcycles over the years and never had an accident/incident. I do not agree that a less powerful bike makes you safer (I only rode sports bikes btw). The slower bikes (250cc or so) generally had

That's very high for the overall population, but I'm guessing the actual number is close to 0 for say Americans who never left the country (we don't have malaria deaths contracted from inside the states, do we?). If you are s

Aren't they a private company? Do people keep investing after the company takes off?

The times I count higher than 1,000 in Japanese is almost always currency. I think in USD and yen, so if I say 一万円 I think either "ichimanen" or $100. When I have to translate a big number like 54万円 I just tell them $5400. It&#x27

I was going to buy an SE once they updated it (a newer processor is all I cared about) but they never did. They're talking about adding a 128gb version but sounds like it's still going to include the A9. Why Apple?!

If you're referring to the Z5C with the 810 I can tell you every phone that year with the 810 and some with the 808 ran very, very hot. Most companies ended up having the software throttle the processor to keep it from getting so hot

One simple explanation could be the road was between very large concrete buildings or the area has some sort of GPS interference (there is one place in Tokyo that jumps my GPS and probably others' by about 300m to the same location eve

I would say cloudflare should hire them to try to find them. It's really not on google IMO (unless caching has some implications regarding storing sensitive data).

A lot is from rumors but since around the time they moved all the staff to SF, users 'reported' many of the "high-profile" AMAs to be paid. There was also a lot of speculation of vote manipulation by mods/admins. I

What's the fear? Aren't all passwords encrypted on the server side?

Yup. Particularly /r/ama is a prime example of being compromised by admins.

Can you explain how git uses the sha-1 hash? If the maintainer still has to merge PRs I don't see how it's affected.

Wow you could have copy pasted that whole response. Every single sentence was fairly aggressive.

I don't know too much about hashing/encryption, but if you salt the sha-1 will this still be able to find a collision?
