Inbound IPs use anycast - the IP we give you routes to the nearest fly region and then hits a wireguard tunnel to get to the correct region.

Outbound IPs are tied to the individual host your machine is running on (which is located in a single region). These are tied to a single region, and in some cases, these were resolving to the wrong region in a few of the GeoIP databases. We hopefully fixed this part.

fwiw - our network folks _should_ have fixed this a few weeks ago. Some of the outbound IPs were incorrectly tagged in some of the geoip databases as being in the US when they were not.

Oh, this is good to know I must have missed it.

I assume this is the same Cerberus Capital Management that acquired Safeway and has been running them into the ground?

To clarify, Jody Allen took over Paul Allen’s fortune when he passed. I’m unsure what all has been closed since then, I know at least Stratolaunch (a space firm), Vulcan Productions (a small-ish media company), and now Vulcan Entertainment (LCM, Cinerama, and the flying heritage and combat museum) have all closed.

The Museum of Pop Culture (preciously Experience Music Project + Science Fiction Museum) was spared - they’re technically self funded now.

It feels like she’s cleaning house. COVID definitely didn’t help but Cinerama closed for a “remodel” sometime last year and laid off all their staff.

The large majority of Android is Apache 2, rich requires attribution but no release of source code.

I’ve been working remotely since last June.

I decided to stay in Seattle. Sure, we have our issues (homelessness, high rents) but we also have some perks (close to nature, beautiful weather 8 months of the year, fast internet, cheap power, roughly sane state government).

I did the same thing at a previous job. Got signed up for an 8 hour security training because of it - somehow I refused to go and they didn't fire me.

Let’s say I have 1000 outstanding shares all worth $10. I need to pay someone a $5000 bonus. I’ll just issue 500 shares of stock to them instead because, well, that’s about $5000.

Hypothetically the per share price goes down by 1/3 here and is now worth $6.67 (but the company’s still worth $10,000 total it’s just 1500 * $6.67 instead of $1000 * $10).

Generally though bonuses like this come out of a pool that’s already been allocated years ago and there’s no change to stock price

I’ve looked at a lot of budgeting apps. In order of priority, I want:

1. Don’t be evil (aka don’t be intuit)

2. Web based with some sane security (2fa, encryption at rest, etc)

3. The ability to sync transactions from my bank.

4. Budgeting/reporting.

5. Some sort of sane forecasting. You’ve got N months of data from a customer, why can’t you tell them in 6 months this account is expected to have $x in it?

6. Sane APIs.

No one I’ve been able to find has been able to do all 6 of these.

Or they did what I did - spent it. At the peak I would have had $8 million before taxes had I not turned it into cash to pay for the electricity my CPU was burning to mine it.

Oh well. Good thing I actually enjoy my current job.

Thanks! I was wrong, look at that :P

I have one qualm with /e/: they use LineageOS as their base, add a few apps, and avoid mentioning this to anyone. Most of their repos aren’t special, they’re a 1:1 copy of upstream.

I realize the license allows this but attribution would still be appreciated.

I have a few domains I don’t host public-facing websites on - they’re used for either email, or internal things at home, or just hosting txt records.

There’s no sane way to validate a domain isn’t in use.

For the payment aspect, charge $5 then refund it once both people say they’ve met?

These are still maintained in windows 10 for backward compatibility, oddly enough

I like 1Passwords auth for this. There's a long key you need once (this stays in a lockbox), and a master password you need every sign in (safety deposit box with no information about what it is).

Github is primarily Rails/MySQL (or was last time I paid attention to any of their blogs), I'm guessing they're storing dates as a TIMESTAMP and not a DATETIME (4 bytes vs 8 bytes).

GitHub's BigQuery public data set has 234,759,841 unique commits, and it appears there's 2 dates per commit (author and committer dates). So an extra ~1.8GB per master/shard group.

Entirely doable but I have no idea what their scale actually is or how that translates to network throughput or anything else really.

I moved for college to a small town with a decent engineering school, along with two very good friends from high school (we're still friends today). The town itself was rather depressing, the school was mostly male, and there wasn't much to do outside of drink or video games. The town is an economic black hole, about what you'd expect for somewhere with 10,000 people in rural America. The school was good though.

I'm doing much better these days. I ended up taking an internship somewhere local, working more / doing worse at school because I was actively avoiding it. I will say this was mostly a personal problem - I really don't do well sitting and listening to people talk about subjects I don't find interesting.

I eventually moved to Seattle, switched jobs a few times, and now work remotely for a company I (so far) love. Remote + unlimited PTO (ish, it's capped at 2 continuous weeks per quarter) has given me an excuse to travel to wherever I want. Life's now a blast :)

I was a solid B student in high school. I got a 35 on the ACT, which apparently helped me land a scholarship. So same boat as you.

Except I then it lost due to being a depressed anxious wreck, not showing up to classes, switching majors 2-3 times and finally dropping out after 5 years full time + 2 years part time + 50k in student loan debt.

It's fine now though, apparently degrees aren't all that important for most software development jobs.

To clarify: I don't fault the individuals. The flex driver program itself is broken. "Gig economy" seems to be a way to avoid minimum wage and employment laws.

I also wonder how this will work in large cities. Packages to my condo are delivered to a non Amazon locker in our parking garage, my building doesn't have a spot where drones could even make deliveries safely. Residents lack roof access.

Packages left outdoors get stolen in a few minutes, which happens more often than not with Amazon's gig economy delivery drivers. They seem incapable of delivering packages to our locker, let alone a pile by the mailboxes. They're left outside the front door way too often.

As the other commenters have said, this is insanely dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

This is always a good read, it's what happens if you do this wrong: https://blog.mycology.cornell.edu/2006/11/22/i-survived-the-...

I debated Amazon for this but decided to go to a hardware store instead. Found out they make smoke alarms with 10 year lithium batteries now, and they're not that much more expensive.

I spent a bit of time earlier trying to figure out who owned what in Seattle earlier. What I got out of it:

* QFC/Fred Meyer are owned by Kroger * Safeway/Albertsons are owned by a capital management company (Cerberus) * PCC, Red Apple, Town and Country, and Metro Market are local. * UNFI owns SuperValu, which is the main distributor for Whole Foods / IGA / possibly some others in the 'local' list.

The depressing part of this: most of grocery stores in the area are owned by 3 companies. And they've all turned into a complete garbage race to the bottom "what's the minimum quality we can sell and still consider food".

I can't tell if Safeway has gotten worse or if I've just been shopping at the expensive organic place for too long.

I can go buy produce from Safeway on a Sunday, and have it be molding by Wednesday. And not even stuff that goes bad quickly (like, peaches mid summer are amazing but they're very fresh/ripe and will go bad in a few days). Apples. Potatoes. Onions. Things that, when fresh, last for months if kept in a cool dark place.

I gave up on Amazon once I wasn't able to buy the replaceable toothbrush heads for my electric toothbrush. Try ordering the name brand oral-b ones and see what shows up (in my case, cheap Chinese knockoffs that lasted about a week instead of however many weeks they're supposed to).

I honestly miss being able to go to a unique store to buy things - that way you could look at what you were actually buying and (maybe!) find something better for what you're trying to do.

10 years ago we had 802.11 a/b/g - n wasn't approved until October 2009 and not generally available until 2010.

In your case I'd imagine these are multi million dollar machines vs a $30 bottom line home router.

It doesn't have to be to their servers - they can just dump all data going anywhere on udp/53 from one of their routers. DNS isn't encrypted, anyone between you and whatever server you're using can see everything.

Google has this neat implementation on Android where your work applications end up in a seperate profile that the company can manage. They can erase that profile but they can't see or manage any data outside of it.

This is the only way I'll ever allow work things on my phone.

I've heard rumors the store in Renton is closing. I can't seem to find anything to back these rumors up online.
