I have been sharing this to try to raise awareness, the impact is going to be high!

Companies are really struggling to optimise their suppliers, it is pretty hard. If they start on bill of materials they can often sort by most common parts and then it becomes a graph problem finding “cheapest” paths between often traversing four tables bom <> parts <> suppliers <> tariffs.

The really hard part is mapping parts down to sku level to tariff codes. Specially at scale (think datasets with many million rows).

Either way we built https://www.searchtariff.com/?q=lights as an entry point and and have been getting more and more worried with the market as we help companies out. They are not ready for this at all and it is bitting deep. Let us know if you also need help mapping products to tariffs, we have a product for that!

Alternatively we also welcome feedback!

Fascinating article, fun that even blood has tariffs https://www.searchtariff.com/?q=blood

I wonder when we are going to start seeing proper effects of all these tariffs in the market.

Meta outage 2 years ago

In my case I was doing iRacing with a cable, it requires the Oculus app to run for the link to work. Which in turn needs the login to be active.

Meta outage 2 years ago

I was considering buying the Quest 3 this morning, this outage is timely. The fact that I can't use my perfectly working headset to play an offline game because facebook is down, makes me wonder if I should go for a different provider. Any recommendations? Excluding apple vision pro since it is too expensive.

In many countries it is illegal to change anything with the vehicle without going through a homologation afterwards, unless the parts are already homologated. This happens because it affects security and can be a danger to others and you. The consequences can range from fines to the destruction of the car.

The printed money is effectively diluting everyone's else's money. So technically you could think of it as an indirect tax, because the overall currency value drops.

Similar to a company emitting new shares to pay employees. It's the shareholders who are paying the cost via dilution.

BLUF: Is that I have been playing around with a news aggregator for the past year and a half, and now I am trying to do a series about this. I am doing this in Portuguese (from Portugal) because there is very little technical content published in my language and I am often sad for it! I'm going to be adding English subs to this series, because a good volume of friends have been asking for it.

I hope you like it, I'm very receptive to feedback, feel free to opinionate ;)

It's interesting to compare with JVM ecosystem, where each dependency can only have one version, and you get version collisions if multiple packages list different versions of the same sub-dependency. I feel there is more thought in adding sub-dependencies, while in the node ecosystem because you won't have collisions, devs don't really seem to care how much they add.

iPad mini 1 are selling on ebay for 80£, I wonder if there isn't anyone exploring the business opportunity here for corporate software, were instead of buying 300£ iPads to show the schedule of a meeting room, you can just code against an old version of IOS and supply your software with hardware at a high discount. edit: had 30£ before, but was a bid not a buy now

For the more tech savy this is where an open source operative system would make the difference (iAndroid). Though Apple should provide some sort of alternative for the less tech savy. One thing is saying that we don't support your browser because it sucks and you have alternatives, the other thing is saying "the 500£ you spent 5 years ago are gone, we don't care the hardware is in good state just buy a new one"

The best entry level porsche is second hand. I got my first porsche like that. It had porsche warranty for 2 years and it costed 2/3 of the retail price. I love every moment driving it. The best part of owning a porsche is the sentimental value and the experience. Here you drop one, and only get the experience. I wonder how that will play out.

This would specially be interesting to enable easy external auditing. Specially since governments rely a lot in large consulting companies, and these often deliver software of questionable quality. Also easier to evaluate would be the high costs usually associated with contracts to develop software sponsored by tax money.
