I feel you.

I emailed the support@ email in a different scenario (my phone was stolen) and got help fairly quickly (within 24h). If that doesn‘t help shoot me a DM and I might be able to ask a friend that works at whatsapp about it.

I genuinely don‘t know, but if you can predict something bad will happen then the consequential behaviour should normally be quite clear - e.g. brake. My wild guess is therefore that the auto-pilot will switch off and give you control if it has low confidence of the surrounding: e.g. a sensor is broken, data from various sensors don‘t align (e.g. due to bad weather) or it knows it will enter a terrain for which it is less trained - going from high way to sub-urban terrain - or something similar. Really only stabbing in the dark. Anyone from Mercedes here that can explain? Edit: typo and please see other comment on Grandparent‘s comment for explanation.

Germany, particularly Berlin, have a pretty vibrant startup eco-system. If you are just trying ideas, there is no need to register a business (legally you only have to do this once you intend to follow through long term). You can register a business for 35€ - most cities offer this online. Registering a limited liability company is a little more complicated (you need a 1h appointment with a notary), but can be done from 500€ onwards. If you plan to do less than 50.000€ in revenue this year you qualify as a micro business and don‘t need to file or pay VAT. You only need to file an annual account within a year of the financial year ending. Cost of this starts at around 500€. Our legal system and corporate culture is set up in a way that you are very unlikely to be sued for damages. So even medium sized companies (several million in revenue) frequently operate as full liability companies.

When I was in the army, during training, my room mate had tinnitus, from stress and a loud noise. He was asked to drink a LOT of water by the medics. This was almost 20y ago, so I don‘t remember the details, but hydration seems to be a treatment. I only remember since it seemed weird to me at the time.

By this definition most crypto wouldn‘t be a ponzi. E.g. bitcoin doesn‘t claim that funds are invested in productive entreprise. It is clear that it is only a value store (like gold). Whether it is any good at storing value long term, we will see.

This is weird. I have made edits with a new account on articles and they were accepted. Not very significant articles, maybe.

Thanks for the explanation :)

Taking an absolutely wild guess here, but the reasoning sounds like a Due Diligence finding by one of the financing partners to me. E.g. one of the banks that would loan some of the money hired a commercial DD team. The 5% fake accounts was a red flag raised by them and the bank is making their financing subject to an explanation on the 5% fake account topic. Maybe the bank is also only pushing this „finding“, since they want weasel out of the deal, but can only due this for legitimate DD findings. The business plan probably has 5% fake accounts as an assumption in it and if this is 15% the economics would change. /End of wild guess

Love this!

Isn‘t that just a good old Nokia? :)

I thought you would be able to do this with a mass spectrometer. Although you would probably need a lot of blood :)

And today‘s parents were kids then. So they grew up with pics of missing kids on their milk cartons.

In my experience, the majority of engineers evangelize the tech stack they use, even when this makes no sense. Hence => Flame Wars ;)

I fully understand your point and defaults are very strong.

That being said, I try new search engines from time to time and always get back to google, because non of the others have worked for me (in a professional context). I probably do 200 searches per day and google is most likely to give me relevant info on my first query (maybe 80-90% success rate). All others I have tried have been around 40-50% win an avg. of 2-3 search queries to find my result. That is a huge daily time sync on 200 searches per day.

I will also test your search engine.

And before having tested it, I have some unsolicited advice ;) At least these are things that would make me switch: 1) you are strong in my vertical. 50% of my daily search queries are professional. Probably 10-20% are programming related. If you were better 20% better than google at delivering results for that subset, I would probably use you. 2) If you had very strong support for my locale. Based in Germany, 50% of my private searches are in German. Most search engines, apart from google, suck in German. My assumption is their market share is so small that they don‘t put effort into any language specific search syntax understanding. German or large language groups like Spanish, Hindi, French come to mind. 3) If you can‘t become a default search engine on safari, maybe you can role your own browser (chromium fork or something) where you are the default. You could package it as: MySearchEngine App. It is actually a fully functional browser, but users really use it because they want to use your search engine. That might give easier access than having to manually navigate to your website in safari.

Thank you very much :) I obs feel a bit stupid now, but I would have never guessed that is what the dash does :)

I have a bit of a radical view on this: In order to be successful you have 10 years full of work ahead of you. In comparison, whatever is there today is nothing. If you are co-founders, then it should be 1/3 each and each with the same salary. At least this should be the default. You may have different needs, experience and skill sets and can of course speak about these openly, but 1/3 each should be the default imho.

What helped me the most against my insomnia is simply accepting it. I just stopped fighting to try to sleep. It didn‘t help immediately, but at least the time that I wasn‘t falling asleep was less painful. Over time (several months/years) my insomnia eventually went away.

Years later I listened to an audio book by The psychologist Viktor Frankl, that also helped me relax about the topic.

And of course jogging (without music) or something similar that essentially switches off your brain during day time.

I think one of the main reasons it is done via hotlinking is that it is easier for the „webmaster“ to copy a JS snippet than to do something server side or self host. Most of these webmasters aren‘t developers.

This is particularly true for anything that comes as a „module“, like GDPR cookie notices (that are very frequently included via a JS snippet loaded from a third party site).

As far as I am aware there is no signed international agreement that NATO would not extend into Eastern European countries like Ukraine. This is wishful thinking on behalf of Putin and an attempt to put themselves into a victim role.

If Russia wants less NATO troops close to their borders then they should consider not invading their neighbours.

Hi [name redacted], thank you for providing a way to verify the document. That is really great. As a brief explanation. I was genuinely surprised by the publishing format. This is entirely unrelated to the content of the document. I had not seen google drive as a way to self-publish before. So my intention was not (at least not consciously) to doubt the validity of the claim, but more of a meta-comment. I don‘t know [redacted] (and had never heard of him before). I am sorry if you were hurt by him (as you mentioned in another comment).

Hi YXN, as a brief explanation. I was genuinely surprised by the publishing format. This is entirely unrelated to the content of the document. I had not seen google drive as a way to self-publish before.

Is the news source actually a google drive document?

Funnily enough, I have made almost the opposite experience. In my experience IAC and serverless bring all the troubles of dev ops to „regular“ developers. Your plain vanilla mid-level full stack dev now needs to understand not only a bunch about FE & BE code, but also a much bigger bunch about servers, networking, VPCs, etc. than in a non-serverless setup.

How do you resolve this in your projects? (Serious question).

This is such a big problem for some of the projects that they are now only able to hire senior develops (which brings it‘s own set of problems).

From a distance, it is very hard to diagnose, but try to sleep more, do more sports, take a holiday (at least 2 weeks). Al of those can help re-wire and put things into perspective.

My kids (4 & 6) saw real ads on TV for the first time in their lifes’ about a week ago. Otherwise they had always just watched netflix. They watched disney channel on TV and were mesmerized by all the ads for toys. „Oh I want this one“, „and this one“, „dad can we buy that one?“. Was bizarre to see that for them this was somehow really special.

I tried changing the users in our gsuite organization in safari a few years ago. Pretty much a core feature. And it was so broken on safari that I couldn‘t change the users.

I don‘t think it was malicious, but still incredibly bad considering gsuite/chrome connection.

I am sure that the wikipedia entry was very harmful. E.g. I regularly google the name of people that I will have a meeting with (as preparation) or trying to find the linkedin profile. I am sure many HR departments do this as well.

In this case it would have been something like: 1) google name 2) oh. The applicant has the same name as a serial killer 3) click on wikipedia article 4) OMG 5) the applicant being significantly less likely to receive an offer
