"Build it and they come" works, for example Hotmail and Google did not invest into marketing initially. But it works in non saturated market with a few players.
I use phone as a wifi hotspot and file server with Termux (sshd, ftpd). Works pretty well.
or maybe they used lunar calendar, 900 years are actually months...
NFT is not a bubble or scam, but money laundering scheme for tax evasion.
I am in similar position, but 45, negative net worth and alimony. I had two problems: environment (it should motivate better), and health (not 20 anymore, but still have shitty habits).
If you have $500, I would suggest to take 6 months sabbatical and just unplug from tech.
This feels like doctors recommending smoking in 1950ties! Maybe it is a survivor bias, weak cells die sooner, so only measured brain cells are super strong :)
"world" did not went anywhere. Most countries are still normal and do not do politics over Twitter.
Someone who has access to Pegasus is not going after finances. I had modest amount of ethereum on my PC, was hacked, but I still had control over my wallet.
If you have $1M+ it should not be tied to your sim card, GMail account etc... If you use the same device to access your bank accounts, and to browse internet or receive messages, you are like an idiot who does not do backups!
No, cash list price of insulin in most countries is around $30. As uninsured person you can still buy insulin for this price in Mexico or order it from India.
The price of my prescription without insurance was $339 per vial of insulin
In most countries insulin price is around $30. I remember it was cheap in US too.
Seems like another problem created by US kleptocracy. Make something prohibitively expensive, and "solve" problem by providing handouts to cover costs.
It is VERY expensive problem to fix. Cleaning environment, replacing old pipes... Other issues like smoking can be milked on taxes.
EU went quite far, even banning lead from solder.
I used meteo radar when working in Ireland. It shows incoming rain clouds, good enough for 20 minutes or so it takes to get to/from work.
A already have enough work on $X/day. If they need to be compliant and treat me like their corporate drone, I am happy to comply. I can charge X*5 and spend one week working on my opensource project.
This is basic marketing. Airbnb, Facebook, Amazon etc are allowed to do shady stuff, but single contractor should be clean as lilium?
Opensource license is a form of contract. I provide free 5 minute support to new users. And good luck suing me if I am not even US/EU based.
Departments (small managers) are authorized to spend small money without approval, lets say up to 200 euro/month. If they send this type of emails, someone ass is on fire. They will DO spend it just to get legal green light.
Anyway, I do not see reason to hold back, just because I am open source developer.
Better to reply "yes, we are affected. Your support contract has expired, please renew at XYZ".
Sure. Trivial stuff like disabling automated updates on Linux takes single command. On Windows you have to find tutorials on some shady sites, dig into binary registry. And a few months latter this settings gets reversed anyway, because Microsoft knows better.
Last solid Windows very Win Server 2003.
PS: I prefer to update once a month in controlled mode.
Not really, on site makes sense for Facebook or Google. Or for extra privacy.
Mid-sized companies can get cracking deals (like 10% cost) on major cloud providers.
And? My country produces electricity mostly from coal, ICE uses way less energy, but everyone will argue tooth and nail electric vehicles are CO2 neutral and green!
Why this creative statistics should not be used in this plant? For example carbon capture could be in one country, while energy production and negative externalities in second! Boom, we captured N millions tons of CO2!
Yes, he may infect someone over video chat. Can you imagine some people are upset when I ask them to wear a mask? Horrible!
If we anchor inflation in some stable asset, like gold, data are very different. Gold is remarkably stable indicator, per hour salary of shoemakers in 15th and 20th century in gold are very similar.
We abandoned "closed loop nutrient systems" long time ago for good reasons. Prion and hormonal pollution are comparable to radiation.
Also "Fritz" is very nacy name. And fertilisers can be used as bombs. Very very bad bad!
It is good if you want to avoid javascript, it is programming on web, but with solid Java tooling. My main point is to have the same language on front and backend.
Maybe I live in different environment. I see women wearing yoga pants and tank tops at official environment, and cheap plastic dresses at evening. Men are expected to wear expensive suits, watches, leather shoes and splash cash all around.
I do. Data management and visualisation for local data store. This stuff is private and can not really go into cloud.
Was using Java Swing until very recently. Switched to Kotlin JS in browser, not sure it can count as desktop anymore.
Well, compare it with $200 android tablet. With Termux most of Linux command line stuff works; python, dbs...
How long battery lasts, 20 minutes?
Facts are facts! If the fact checking does not match reality, it is the reality that needs to be fixes!
Living in the US of America is already a success compared with most other places in the world.
Success for most people is not making a billion dollar company. Success for them is being able to raise a family, work on their own, pursue their interests and be free. In the US you can do that way easier than in the rest of the world.
This is such self absorbed and delusional opinion!
Your point proves point of the article. US is extremely hostile to families. It is incredibly expensive to raise children. System itself is rigged against families, it tries to tear family structure apart. Even finding fertile partner who wants children is very difficult.
Let us know when you get pregnancy leave and affordable health care :)
Another title from the same "New Year" section: "Ditching the diet – how I learned to accept the body I have" with picture of morbidly obese person. I would not take anything from here seriously.
Is that really going to solve any problem?
70% of college graduates are now women, and there are still complains of income disparity etc.. Now we even discover there are not enough "eligible bachelor" to marry..
