Super intuitive learning physics this way

Sometimes some hosts make up some ridiculous excuse to lure you into cancelling yourself to make a quick buck. A minority but they do exist for sure.

When I had an issue with "funny" hosts, I reached out to the Airbnb supported and I actually got a full refund and a discount for a future booking as an apology for the situation.

To be fair, your host was extremely rigid. Reach airbnb support, maybe you'll get a full refund.

Love this project but, please, give us a way to use it without the CLI. Not really keen on having the CLI on my package.json

Yes and Slack does the same.

If expressing a political opinion is all that takes, I don't see any difference between using Proton and Gmail. Of course, they only logged it after the request but they did it.

You would be much better off by using a non-European/USA/Western provider.

Oh well, Proton just became useless.

You can't compare a group that kills thousands of people with a group that has it's own ideas. You could claim it is a dangerous one but you'll find many other accepted groups that would fall under the same category given the right perspective.

Freedom of speech is not about hearing the ideas you like but the ones you dislike.

I would expect Amazon to be neutral and only make action if the government took legal action.

This action is a threat to democracy on the behalf of private companies.

I got a similar paid review offer but I'm allowed to give any review rating I wish. Given that Amazon hasn't forced me to give 5 start to a product, it is a step in the right direction: If a product has few reviews, you give an incentive for buyers to post a review about a product they actually bought.

Isn't this a privacy issue? You can track when someone loads the readme.md on the browser with a remote background image/fonts.

"If you're not a really good C++ developer, you can shoot yourself in the foot and bring an entire project down."

I'm tired of hearing this and other myths like "C++ is for geniuses". When are we going to acknowledge that managers only care about shipping feature fast regardless of the quality of the codebase? I work professionally with "productive languages" and I could claim the same thing about javascript and others.

On this article it is very clear that companies won't invest in proper training, quoting: "Most Java developers are web developers and are used to modelling things they can see" and "We began by hiring people from trading floors, but have more recently hired Masters and PhD students"

This is a culture problem, not a language one. If anything, C++ will always perform much better than Java. Claiming the opposite because you assume your coders don't know what they're doing, it's just ridiculous.

Not sure if this is apple opening the doors for linux/windows or just a way to install enterprise boot loaders.

Bootcamp is not migrated yet but it wouldn't require disabling boot security since it's done by apple itself.

I would like to ask the author about pricing:

If I create 20 monitors at a rate of 10 minutes I only pay $1.00 + $1.04 / mo

How do you create a sustainable product that you can realistic maintain when you've to pay taxes, hosting, etc. at this price?

For the first time in a while I'm actually excited to see what is possible when the hardware and software are built by the same company.

These CPUs aren't meant for professionals but 18 to 20 hours of battery without all the heat from Intel CPUs is really nice.

Shame they didn't mention clock speeds

The only one I tried was trazodone, half a pill is enough to induce sleep but falling asleep and waking up doesn't fells nice. 15 minutes after taking the pill I get a sensation that I can only describe as "being poisoned", in the morning I get a long lasting headache for 4+ hours. Antidepressants are prescribed as a "safer" alternative to zolpidem/dangerous medication but there is some controversy in the medical community about it. Some people developed a zolpidem addiction up to the point where they need it or won't sleep at all.

Of course, that is why I only take it strictly when I need it.

Zolpidem, I use this pill to sleep and works fantastic for me. My MD told me that regular use could lead to dementia and the risk for addiction is considerable. I've tried antidepressants to sleep but always wake up with a headache, the feeling of it it's not great either. But with this one, never had an issue.

Who would this save money if the videos are hosted in a p2p platform? We need to pay for CDN + P2P network, right? This assumes people are watching the same video at the same time but the moment they close the browser tab, you would fallback to the CDN.

Are you using WebRTC with a torrent like network (ex:Filecoin)? I can imagine people renting a percentage of their existing home servers.

I was just testing the waters, the idea seems futurist and reasonable. The price of token wasn't set back then and the company decided to inject some capital with a fixed return over a period of 2 year I believe, don't remember the amount but I know it was very generous.

Bit of a grey area: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/nvidia-updates-ge...

Quoting: “To clarify this, we recently added a provision to our GeForce-specific EULA to discourage potential misuse of our GeForce and Titan products in demanding, large-scale enterprise environments.”

According to this article, they want to discourage but I would expect legal retaliation if FileCoin proves to be profitable. There is one area where AWS never launched: gaming servers and I suspect this could be the reason.

Oh, I forgot a super important bit. Using a 2080 TI/consumer grade GPU for cloud purposes is against Nvidia terms.

To avoid being sued you need a Tesla GPU, the cheapest one is $7,374

As a Portuguese citizen, I find it quite fascinating that this topic is trending for quite a while now.

Doing the same in USA won't work due to lack of a public health system, without it is impossible to help people recover from addiction. Providing methadone is the easy bit, having a public network of doctors, therapists and social workers is the key ingredient.

Glad I dodged this bullet. Last year I dedicated my Intel Nuc i3, 8 gb Ram with a 500gb hard drive but the amount of files/contracts was so low that eventually I shut it down.

I'm very surprised about the 128 gigs of ram requirement, guess this network isn't that decentralized as promised. Anyway, from the beginning it easy to see that competing against something like AWS S3 would be super super hard if not impossible.

With a low token price, electricity costs, hardware costs and your ISP asking about your absurd bandwidth use, I would be shocked if anyone can actually make a profit on this.

Brand new hard drives drop a lot in value once used. Buying 256 gigs of RAM (specially ECC memory) and 2080 TI is not exactly cheap either.

Just charge your normal rate then, you already lost some money to begin with. If you accept the previous rate, you won't be happy working with him and probably lose better potential clients that would be will to pay you your normal rate.

If you own the IP, you do have the upper hand. In case your clients owns it, he would spend more money/time migrating to another developer, just negotiate with him and explain that you underestimated. If he doesn't like it, his loss.

A confirmation message would be really helpful instead of losing all my stuff.

That 5/100 score is very very strange. Have you tried migrating your react code base to NextJs?

Used to be free, now it's a paid product.

I've seen similar stuff happening when trying to block spammers. I worked for a major publishing company and we had an issue with the comments, too many spammers. After a review it has easy to see that 90% of the ip address came from India, blocking India was an easy fix although it is unfair for good citizens.

Google your office IP address, maybe it got listed on some spam forum and GitHub and others used it.

Given you have sponsors, this is a pretty big mistake on their behalf. Probably just a mistake, hope they restore your account.

How about using a trial and not having to worry about forgetting to cancel?
