If the options are "launch in the rest of the world quickly and get to the EU later" or "launch everywhere at once years after the competition" PMs and execs are going to choose the latter every time.

$200k is very middle of the pack for a salary offer in the bay area, and most places will push total comp up with stock and such, whereas OP mentioned that 200 was the UPPER bound, meaning they wouldn't be offering it to a junior devel

There are a ton of jobs that pay as well or better with lower requirements, even outside the bay area. Anyone with that level of experience, Python and a low level language isn't going to take you up. I'm not normally in agreement

Any tourist area with a lot of people is going to be an area with potential for pick pockets and other theft of opportunity types. Even Vatican City has a crime rate often upwards or in excess of 1.5 per resident, and that's only what

Does it surprise you that wealth takes time to accumulate? None of those people had a get rich quick scheme that made them billionaires in their 20's.

Look at sibling comments on copper theft in Scandinavian countries. The idea that humans only commit crime out of necessity and wouldn't do it if they could just get a 9-5 job is extremely naive.

I'd love to see Wickard v. Filburn overturned, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. This is the reality we live in.

States already have a wide range of very restrictive laws on the sale and use of firearms and alcohol. Neither of these categories get challenged on interstate commerce grounds, if they get challenged.

That's what it means to be a cost center. Anything over the minimum translates to wasted effort and inefficiency.

As an ignoramus to these things.... there are only just so many Googles though. Having made a significant jump, are they really expected to continue that growth?

Considering that most of the rules states would introduce would run a foul of interstate commerce, it seems like a good way to get ahead of pointless lawsuits. Note that these rules apply to the development of AI, not any restriction on how

Don't forget llama.cpp came about when meta released the weights to their LLaMa LLM. They've been in the game for awhile, just not anywhere near the top of the score board since.

High school grades are not evenly applied, and sometimes heavily inflated. Eliminating that variable is the whole point behind taking a standardized test.

> how did admissions work without test scores? They look at "life experience" factors. Grades, of course, but also extracurricular activities such as school clubs, volunteering, activism, socioeconomic background and so forth.

Something as simple as adding a stick of RAM might be worthwhile, but some upgrades will take more money in salary (you and the person whose computer you're working on) than the upgrade is actually worth. This is especially true if you

If I had to guess, using tailscale is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.

I guess that was my point in a roundabout way- they lie about their age to pretend to be under the legal adulthood age limit. Some animals do have fairly reliable (if invasive to utilize) means of telling their age- I think their tusks grow

I suspect the idea would be to use `match` instead of an imperative `if`. There's an example here: https://github.com/kablorp/blorp/blob/main/benchmarks/blorp/... Then again, there's

I wouldn't think so. Legal adulthood is a pretty arbitrary line in the sand.

I suspect that's because you wrongly assume the other side is saying "some regulations have downsides". It's more likely they're saying "all regulations have unintended consequences" and thus deserve extra

Surely this would affect all online prescribers and third party certification companies, who have been using government ID card verification for years. I don't think biometric data is necessary at all here.

This has been a solved problem for some time now. There are already third party solutions for this based around verifying government issued ID cards and therapist attestation of who they visited with in their notes. Biometric data isn'
