In Brazil it's 3 months for everything produced/sold here, electronics and complex stuff usually have a 1 year
warranty provided by the manufacturer (but by no means they are legally required to do that AFAIK/IANAL). Decent cars often have a 5 year warranty. I can't imagine trying to bootstrap a small business selling something in Europe and having to be extra super sure it is indestructible for at least 3 years or else I can be seen as some sort of criminal entrepreneur, it sounds scary... do you have any link or source on that for me to read?
I would like to know more too, but from my own experience with my clients they usually get very satisfied when you are as honest as you can be if you screw something up, and make it up for them as a gratitude token. People still value humility in doing business, they just don't want to feel "cheated" even if you it wasn't your fault really. I was really surprised at that, I thought I was done when I made my first serious mistake but my clients were pure understanding and support.
Quite interesting business idea. I would suggest a few changes to the page though: make it clear you only accept US customers before we waste time figuring it out in the end of the purchase, your dietary restrictions checkboxes have possibly their ID not an user-friendly name (i.e. lower cased with underscores), I did not understand which package I should purchase at the end (maybe a simple comparison or an actual practical reason instead of a business description? I would guess I wanted all of them? or not?). Congrats for the launch! This is a sensitive niche but I suppose it has a lot of potential :-)
Inequality can be seen in two ways: extreme poverty versus absurdly rich upper class way of living in the same area (hello brazilians), and mostly everyone at least being self maintainable (say, your average european) even though your perception about others — the envy you talk about — is more of a psychological trap than an actual necessity in your life.
When I visited Egypt a few years ago I was amazed at how colorful some ruins and temples were. To this day you can go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortuary_Temple_of_Hatshepsut and see colorful walls and columns and such that are about 3500 years old. It still gives me goosebumps.
I think iCloud cheated on its end of semester tests! It didn't deserve such high grade... the only thing it can always do correctly is iPhone backups, just that, like someone said there. It's slow, expensive and clumsy.
You might want to Google Images for Brasília (Brazil's capital), built in the 50's with godzilions of reinforced concrete. It's still spectacular but it's high maintenance and you can see concrete cancer everywhere. I'm not sure if it was a good idea to use it there but surely it is gorgeous due to the architectural possibilities of reinforced concrete.
Interesting business idea, I would like to give it a try but I honestly was expecting screenshots or some short gif/video on how it works (instead of the pink icons with their descriptions). Also, I assume it could be useful for consultants and such but maybe you could actually suggest some use cases so people realize quicker why/how it could benefit them business-wise. I found the concept interesting because I know the tech but my friends and relatives would not understand the lingo at a first glance.
0. fucking put the pressure on Intel and other chip makers to have microcode updates ready by NYE, like, you know, 6 months after the first report
1. make sure all tier 1 companies involved are equally patched and on the same page as far as mitigations go before EOY, then involve tier 2 companies (see news on "the impromptu war room") a full month before the embargo deadline
2. not commit or patch anything or fly commented diffs around in the freaking public LKML; git branches to be tested and secondary mailing lists can be private if only for a brief period of time
That's definitely not what happened, and probably the dirty details have not surfaced yet. I can't wait for this to be reasonably over so we can start to read post mortem on the whole process.
What a mess this has been so far... I appreciate all the effort kernel folks had put in it until now but the whole tier 1 companies cabal thing is just disgusting and it made the problem worse with the early disclosure (not to say "leak" if you count LKML diffs flying around). If at least all the cabal parties were equally covered and protected by now, but nope nope nope. If I were a kernel developer not working for any cabal party I would be very pissed off.
I will save my personal opinion on the A380 for later but about previous comments on HN you always have to remember the crowd is a bunch of professional guessers. It stops to be funny quite fast...
If you want the easy way but you are not using certbot you are doing it (quite possibly, you know, given the requirements, but your milage my vary anyway so oh wait this is becoming a disclaimer or what) wrong.
That's some good info and knowledge shared there, thanks for this! I have a question as I just started reading it on mobile (skimming it): does the cost apply mostly to US or that could be extrapolated to other places? Is the total conservative or what? I mean, I had to idea how expensive it is to set up a small ISP, at least considering my local currency and the fact that there were people actually doing this in the past here. Apparently it costs the same as 1/3 of a house in Brazil (nothing fancy, but decent in an average city). In fact I would expect the costs to be a bit higher than stated, right? Again, thanks for sharing all that!
Nice idea, I hope it succeeds! However I would never move my critical WP stuff to a new unknown hosting, thanks. If it was some sort of plugin or special setup I could "install" on my servers I would really pay a decent amount for it though, it would be ideal IMHO.
You will notice over time how Stoicism is actually philosophy, it grows on and with you through the years. I know you did not mean it deeply but it is not self-help, no need to leave it behind after you finish your readings; and it's okay if you see it as self-help too though, no dead classical greek dude will come after you to question it :-)
"Note that in none of the eight movies so far is the intensive and painful Jedi training regimen followed through. Not a single real Jedi is produced."
Well... they've got a point... we see many already produced, but none during the films' times IIRC.
The fastest transfer rates I could get were all with Dropbox (specially upload, as I have fiber at home and I expect a decent paying service to be prepared for customers). I decided to cancel my iCloud subscription because it was terribly slow for my godzillions of small files. I still pay for some Amazon Glacier storage too, for real long-term backups of memories and personal archives (haven't touched them in the last 5 years). If only Dropbox Smart Sync was cheaper I would pay for it so I don't have to sync all my stuff everywhere or selectively check out some folders only.
