It doesn't appear to work for Australian employers, so it does not seem to cover every country, and I would guess it is mostly north american? Do other countries have similarly scummy services? Is there one for Australia? My gut says &

This is a really nice write-up of the highs and lows of launching an indie game. It resonates with me as I often dream of locking myself away for 6-12 months to crack out an indie title. I dream of fame and fortune, but the sad truth is tha

Perhaps this is true for covid19, as the vaccines do not seem to stop the vaccinated from getting infected and spreading the virus. But for vaccines that actually stop the majority of vaccinated from becoming infectious the risk reward calc

FWIW what GP wrote is not true of all banks in AU. I have made several transfers to new payids recently and they have all gone through immediately.

> Still, regulated how? What you're talking about is criminal activity. Are regulations the antidote to that? Perhaps similar to pawn shops, which (I think) have to keep records of who sold you what. If you are a smelter, you should

It does wrestle a lot of control from the individual though. It's not hard to imagine possible abuses of power. Tracking everyone's movements is just the start. What if some government decided to deny service to someone? Or not le

If you are ever expecting to be in a situation where a) you have incriminating evidence on you phone, and b) have reason to believe the police will likely try and get access to it at some unpredictable time in the future, I think you'd

I'd like something similar for Netflix. Let me click a "never show me this again" button. It would unclutter the interface so quickly. I suspect the reason we'll never see such a feature is because it would be quite reve

Can you provide more info around nuclear fuel running out in 100 years? I had been thinking we had an abundance of nuclear fuel available tIo us. I have not heard of a 100 year limit before and am interested to learn more.

It's less about the difficulty of the process, more about efficiencies. I don't have time to find numbers, but I believe it's a pretty lossy process to split water, and then turn it back into electricity in a fuel cell type d

My opinion, fwiw, is that batteries have won the day in the automobile space. The infrastructure investment required to make hydrogen work for automobiles must be astronomical vs incremental improvements required to the existing electrical

For many applications, efficiency is not that important. The important metric would instead be $/kwh.

A potential use for this would be to use the hydrogen as a way to cheaply store the energy to be used when the sun is not shining. I.e. Pair it with fuel cell tech to generate electricity at night. In this scenario the price of the tech sho

Love the idea. A little feedback: layout needs tweaking for mobile. FWIW: I'm on mobile Firefox for Android.

Do you use a specialized tool for the online training? Is the training material your own?

Great point that onboarding is not just about getting to know the project, tools, and environment. There is the extremely important personal connection side of things. Interesting that you have a prepared project, rather than have them work

This seems like solid process to get someone from being "non employee" to being an "employee", which is super important. When I initially posted I was thinking more about the "new employee" to "assimilated

That's an interesting point, trying to accommodate a new hires preferences into an existing teams flow. The reverse is often the expectation, but a healthy team is made up of many members, so accommodating individual needs is going to
