There is a bit of a difference between needing Cloudflare and selling your show to Spotify, though. The Overton Window is a lot wider for Cloudflare.

People don’t get friendlier up the food chain. It’s highly likely the line manager is reacting to pressure coming from above themselves.

The latter, and about as worthwhile.

Wi-Fi wouldn’t seem to help though… the machine would need to have the relevant sensors locally.

The claim isn't that the phone is competitive on a feature or spec level to new phones, but that those happy with the old feature set can continue to use them.

Of course the battery is a consumable part and you can't expect that to continue functioning well indefinitely.

He's got elite financial engineers at his disposal, it's highly doubtful his fortune has declined in lockstep with the AMZN share price.

The Jeopardy thing was pretty brilliant in a sense - wrangling an episode of free advertising from one of the most popular game shows. A memorable episode at that!

Side note, the term “gas fee” is a nice example of how crypto projects pick needlessly obtuse vocabulary. It’s a transaction fee. There’s no “gas” involved. Why call it that?

Perhaps I’m jaded but my feeling is that using plain terms would reveal the emptiness of the space. A non technical person can see that a $200 “transaction fee” is a rip off.

The point of the advice is to come up with a reasonable division of responsibilities that work for your partnership, rather than accepting the default agreement handed to you by the state without even understanding what it is.

It's truly amazing that a product with the reach of Lichess can be run so cheaply. Comments here criticizing the hosting costs extremely myopic - dev time isn't free, and doing a rewrite to chase down hosting savings isn't necessarily a good call.

I just signed up for a monthly donation. I complain about the ad supported internet all the time, but had never donated to LiChess. This thread is a good reminder of how far dollars to support projects like this can go.

I share your disappointment but am happy to see the top upvoted reply calling it out.

That dramatically increase the logistics problem, it’s not as though the government has a reliable address for where each person would want a test shipped.

People who are worried about omicron and can afford $15 per test already have a supply.

People who aren’t worried about omicron will throw them away.

It's a trade, the consumer exchanges certainty about costs for a higher fixed rate than they'd get otherwise.

If the consumer doesn't like that they can get a lower cost variable rate mortgage just as easily.

It’s tiresome to see the DRM argument portrayed over and over again as a moral slam dunk.

Anything consequential enough to make an impact is a trade off, with winners and losers. If all the employees listened and there was a universal collapse of DRM, I really highly doubt people who make content would be better off. Maybe some of these devs feel good about helping make sure people who make movies get paid. Maybe they feel like they are part of the moviemaking process (which they are!).

It’s not as though it’s difficult for people who want to make their content free to do so. Why should someone who wishes to make content under a DRM model not be free to do so? It’s entertainment, you are not forced to consume it.

I’m on my 3rd team at a bigco at the moment. Putting a lot of emphasis on enabling team transfers is the thing that has kept me there.

There’s some politics to it, ie one org is losing a lot of people to another, so we aren’t supposed to actively recruit, but if they ask and are going to leave otherwise /shrug
