As the GP said, what's cool about this is how simple the code is. You might be able to achieve 5M connections in Java using an event loop based solution (eg Netty), but if the connection handlers need to do any async work, then they also need to be written using an event loop, which is not how most people write Java. Simply put, 5M connections was not possible using Java in the way most people write Java.
I feel like this was too much a diatribe on why supersymmetry is not a good solution and didn't spend enough time on evaluating what the actual implications are of this result holding.
In Canada, it's expressly legal to travel and work remotely (depending on the work). You can read the Canadian government's definition of work (in the context of requiring a work permit) here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/co...
> “Work” is defined in the Regulations as an activity for which wages are paid or commission is earned, or that competes directly with activities of Canadian citizens or permanent residents in the Canadian labour market.
The key part is that most remote work doesn't compete directly with the Canadian labor market.
> What kind of activities are not considered to be “work”?
> long distance (by telephone or Internet) work done by a temporary resident whose employer is outside Canada and who is remunerated from outside Canada;
Advice can be useful if you try to make it so. Number three on the list is "Dont ever work for someone you dont want to become." I was given this same advice as I was starting out my career. It made me reevaluate my approach to work and lead to some profound changes in my life. Years later, I can confidently say those choices were the best ones I've ever made. I will forever be grateful for receiving this advice. It's important to try to look forward at how following the advice may impact your life, rather than looking backward for confirmation of your currently held beliefs.
I see a listing here for a 50% ownership stake in a 2005 Cessna 182T Skylane for $180k. Financing is available for 20% down. With financing, the listed monthly price is < $2k. That seems somewhat reasonable to me. https://www.controller.com/listing/for-fractional-ownership/...
What if A didn't hear B's response, and was reiterating their first instruction? B wouldn't respond because they think A is already at step 3 of the handshake, whereas A thinks they are at step 1. A thinks A has control of the plane, whereas B thinks B has control of the plane.
ARKK, the top performing ETF of 2021, is down 60% over the last year. Tech, in general, has declined substantially, mostly due to interest rates rising.
I just looked this up and you're right. If you're subject to the expatriate tax then you're automatically disqualified from the exemption. From my reading, it seems like there is a small loophole. You can sell a foreign property if you move back to the U.S. and meet all the other primary residence conditions.
The IRS does not consider a refinance (even a cash-out refinance) to be a capital gain. The IRS also allows for 250K (500K if married) of tax-free capital gains on the sale of a primary residence. Maybe you misunderstood your friends’ situations.
In the US, you can refinance your loans. Essentially taking out a new loan to pay off your old mortgage. The new loan has the new market interest rate. In the US, you’re typically allowed to pay off additional principal without any penalty, so you can end a loan by paying off the outstanding principal without needing the pay the remainder of the interest on the loan.
> Overall, they found close to half of the samples were mislabeled (43 percent), and rates of mislabeling were especially higher in restaurants vs. grocery stores (67 percent, vs. 20 percent). The most common form of mislabeling was farmed Atlantic salmon being represented as” wild” salmon. These trends persisted when comparing all of their salmon data (466 samples) spanning over four years.
Without knowing how much salmon is consumed at restaurants via grocery stores, it's hard to validate that "most" wild salmon is actually farmed.
The error in your line of thinking is that you assume humans are better interpreting statistical evidence than they are broad logical arguments. I don't see any evidence of that.
How is "there's no downtime in cooking" better than "Cooking onions is not downtime?" Both are assertions without backing evidence. For instance, it's possible for "Cooking onions is not downtime?" to be true (e.g. cooking onions requires active work) while "there's no downtime in cooking" is not true (e.g. cooking chicken broth involves downtime).
“Cooking onions is not down time” directly follows from “there’s no downtime in cooking.” If there is no downtime in cooking is true, then *cooking* onions cannot be downtime.
We use Discord at a small startup. It's nice because we can easily get our external clients on and make rooms for giving them customer support without going through the janky slack process. We also have public channels so people can come by and report bugs or ask for help. Highly recommend Discord. It's a great product.
But what is the practical difference to the API user? This seems like caring that about how the API is implemented, which is usually not a concern for a SaaS consumer.
There is always an underlying assumption that making something scalable and making something quickly are mutually exclusive. As tools and libraries get better, I hope these two things can exist together. Scalable things should be able to be written just as quickly as anything else. Take DynamoDB as an example. Very quick to set up and use. Also very scalable.
