Sounds like there’s a business opportunity here to make larger medical school tables with wheels to easily move patients

Should it be expected that individual users should be familiar with corporate deployment documentation just to know that their VPN app they bought actually leaks?

I get this

I’m currently in a situation where my large tech company has clear criteria to be promoted and I am already measurably doing all of the things the next level does

Despite this, my manager says I won’t be promoted unless the other two people at the level above me “like” me

So despite meeting our company’s exact requirements for promotion that they do to make the process “fair”, I am being held at my level indefinitely until two people decide they like me as a person

Just ranting I guess. Not sure if anyone can relate / has advice here

Sounds like they’re complying with sanctions as any US business must do

Does anyone write cover letters anymore when applying for jobs online?

I’ve been applying to a few roles and getting a good amount of callbacks without submitting a cover letter or anything.

My friend is a FAANG recruiter and basically says he doesn’t have time to read them so they don’t matter to him personally.

Are they still a good use of time to write?

> The solution is simple. Make electricity cheaper when it's more available, and people will use it. You don't need any complex "AI" like people in this thread are saying, you just use natural market forces and the problem fixes itself. Too much energy being used at night - price increases. It's not complicated, and it's what we're doing already. People don't need a Stanford study to convince them to get their energy for cheaper.

This is exactly what they were doing in Texas right up until the moment the Blizzard hit last year.

Suddenly electricity became unavailable (because you know, giant blizzard), and consequently it was something like $6000 a kw/hr[1] for some users

Your market force solution for electricity pricing almost bankrupted me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

From a financial point of view the answer is because you’re not paying for it

Teams is bundled with Office 365 to steal marketshare from other companies like Discord who charge a bit more and are a stand alone service. It’s why Salesforce bought Slack.

CFOs at Fortune 500 companies want to be efficient with their spending so they won’t buy an extra license if their existing bundle is “good enough”

Teams is “good enough” so Microsoft doesn’t invest in it as much as other more profitable areas

Is there a map somewhere that simulates various coastline changes based on sea level rise?

Ex: the 10 meters mentioned above

If the result of this tweet is that one of my domains is altered, and that I lose income, users, or other useful metrics to measure the value of my site, this seems like a great piece of evidence to be litigious towards Namecheap

As a professional platform builder, I’m always amazed at how good of a piece of hardware Amazon has made, with how limited it’s platform experience is

Kindles can only (easily) do what Amazon wants it to do —full stop.

It’s like the iPhone before the App Store.

I bet Amazon would make a massive amount of money if they opened up their ecosystem to let others develop on top of it

If you don’t charge by the hour and the half day unit is optional, what’s your recommended unit of time or work to measure by?

I’ve had an audio crackle that happens only sometimes on my PC for years now.

Windows 10, Z170-A motherboard with driver for built in audio

Tried different cables, inputs (optical vs aux etc) installing different drivers, old drivers, new drivers, nothing fixes it

Super annoying when I want to listen to spotify or YouTube or anything

What are the relative risk increases for each?

It’s not a perfect answer but my the incubator my old startup was at would have networking happy hours

People there despite already being in startups were super excited and interested in other peoples businesses

I had a founder try to poach me at one point, so it’s real enough

If there’s any kind of hub for startups in your city, start there.

If not, check meetup.com or start your own. You’re certainly not alone and there’s definitely (literal) value in being the guy who brings founders together

Is Namecheap better?

My domains are currently split between the two

Might as well move my stuff over if it means avoiding things like this

Incentivizes people to pick up littered bottles as well

Can any Germans on HN explain why Germany finds it preferable to give up their energy independence in nuclear and instead buy it from their potential adversary in Russia?

What possible advantages are there to buying the resource that literally keeps the lights on from a country that you have conflicts with?

Do AppLovin stock holders prior to the acquisition see a massive price decrease in their shares?

Seems like they’re basically printing double the existing stock to cover it

I wish they would expand the participation to anyone who’s interested in code breaking or working at the NSA. I’d love to take a crack at it myself.

Also, some of the best security researchers I know never went to college. So people with non-traditional academic backgrounds are excluded from this which is a bummer

Does this mean I can finally have a browser running its own rendering engine that supports its own extensions in iOS?

It’s all fun and games until whatever transports people through the line gets blocked

Suddenly then you have “the segments”

> wiki page has many links to the full book

The netsec person in me says we probably shouldn’t be downloading PDFs/epubs from the servers of literal North Korean Government sites…

“USB Drive”

> RSU comp is taxable on vest

I’m in the job interview process right now

Looking at a pre-IPO company with RSUs

Does this mean that I pay taxes on those RSUs when I get them, _even_ if I don’t sell them?

I wonder if one could automate finding the hospitals that don’t do this and filing a complaint that leads to a fine

like patent trolls for a cause

Because if everyone moves to the small town, it won’t be a small town anymore

Is anyone keeping a running tally of these on a website somewhere?

So now, if a Google related Wikipedia article has something added to it that Google doesn’t like, they can suggest to Wikimedia they might not renew their contract unless things are “made right”

Google is just one example of this. Any company now has a pathway to do so.

I think this is terrible incentives, and destroys the goal of having an Encyclopedia free from interference where only truth can come through

I live in the south, where the mosquitos are brutal.

You could make a lot of money selling these...

That’s just waterfall with extra steps…
