"I wish it was easier to get scammed in online games" is a wild take.

> If AWS denies you, you go sign up at any of their competitors or buy your own servers and plug them into the internet

And then your ISP kick you out.

Opened the article and decided to try out the "Listen to this story" section.

After reading the article name and author, it proceeds to state "This is an AI generated narration".

Well, well, well.

Story points are in fact time, and I'm tired of pretending they're not.

You can sugar coat it all you want and say they represent complexity, but at the end of the day(or sprint), the higher the complexity, the more time it takes to complete.

Or maybe people just have different experiences?

I ran teams on a fairly powerful i9-equipped MacBook Pro and it was unbearable. Couldn't even scroll up to older messages without it freezing up, the integrations with Office 365 were also really slow.

I wonder if airports would accept an Instagram verification badge as proof that he's not a terrorist.

Hold on, no one dare steal my new business idea.

They did participate in a fraudulent scheme to obtain the badges. If they had been verified for their real accomplishments they would still have it.

Consider the following lame analogy:

A man who has been working as a programmer for 30 years has no diploma because he is self taught. He is having trouble finding a new position because for some reason companies are asking for a degree in a related field. He decides to buy one from a sketchy random university. People find out about the scheme and the diploma is invalidated. Should he be able to keep it because he probably knows everything he would be taught at university?

This article is the equivalent of gossip magazines saying some random celebrity died because they haven't been seen in a week.

But shouldn't the cost go down for the company as well? Now they no longer need to use office space to accommodate you or provide you with a space to eat/bathroom/take breaks. Rent in the valley is a nightmare and companies could save a lot by not needing a physical space for the entire workforce.

Been working from home since march and never had a problem to switch off from work. Some days I would be working on something I consider fun and stay a bit later than usual, but most days I just move my chair 1 meter to the left to my gaming computer and go play something.

"The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas" and "Dom Casmurro", both by Machado de Assis, were required reading during the last 3 years of school in Brazil. It is common for college entrance exams to use the books as example for questions.

I forgot most of the plot because I only read it for school, maybe I should revisit it now that I no longer dread reading.

User-side calculation makes it prone to hacking.

Is that even an argument? HN is obsessed with Japan just because the search returns more results?

Maybe that's because Japan is more relevant when it comes to technology compared to African countries?
