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 batter…

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? Perha…

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 th…

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 r…

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 a…

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 r…

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. I…

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 lo…

The hospital strain is caused by staffing shortages, not an overwhelming number of patients. Those staffing shortages are in turn caused by strict quarantines for people who are as…

I rewatched the original recently and that dialogue is not exactly a strong point either. Really devoid of subtly or even the barest hint of humor. A pretty unbelievable amount of …

This kind of discussion is more relevant to inheriting projects than constructing them from scratch. To take an example I’ve inherited several Ruby on Rails apps from novices at bi…

I did. Here's the line that stuck out to me: > One student tested positive IN THE AUDITORIUM, and a few students started screaming and ran away from him. I suggest fixing the ludic…

I would add a 3rd flawed notion: that COVID is COVID, all variants are to be avoided at all costs. At this point we've got well established indications of omicron being an unseriou…
