Gotta be one of the stupidest publicity stunts I have seen. On top of this, it's incredibly wasteful and useless. Shame on you figureai

Wait, so what are we talking about here? Support for older windows through the Rosetta translation layer through parallels? Or is this talking about only older windows (I.e. windows 10) through the arm-specific windows versions?

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but what was the “latest news” about Evernote?

Hmm I was curious about the durability part when comparing the trucks. As an ex-skateboarder (lies I still ride around for fun but tricks are hard on my older body) I can say my trucks typically “grinded” away in the middle from, well, grinding. The only breaks haven’t been around the kingpin but more on the sides of the “T” near the wheels.

So does this mean the eu will cover the licensing costs for everyone? https://www.usb.org/getting-vendor-id

Wait does this mean that the EU will also prevent the USB-if from charging licensing fees? Or is someone in the EU getting some kickbacks?

Can you link it to LinkedIn?

I don’t agree with the Big O notation question as useless to know. I once had a programmer that had come from marketing background who taught himself to code. Could get things started but when he had to do a data processing job he used jq in bash because “nothing is faster than bash” then wrote his code in On^n which took days to run. When I tried to explain that it was inefficient the way he was doing it because it had to iterate over and over for each entry and explained algorithmic complexity and how to do it faster and wrote up some quick code in python he got in a huff and tried to proclaim “nothing is faster than bash”.

For those who may assume the system was memory/storage limited and that’s why it was written that way, no we had enough memory and storage.

I had a look at what machines they use here in Australia and they seem to be similar to Taylor machines that they showed being used in the USA (this video: https://youtu.be/SrDEtSlqJC4). However, they almost always seem to be working without issue. If they are almost the same machine (would be for 240v) then I guess I’m glad that whatever is going on in the USA hasn’t reached here. Now the frozen drinks machines (slurpee, slushie, slush puppies) are down a lot more often but even then it isn’t down as much as the ice cream machines in the USA.

But talking about McDonald’s McFlurry - in the USA do they still flurry it with the blending mixing spoon? They used to do that in Australia but now a McFlurry has no flurry and instead it’s just a plain sundae topped with Oreo crumbs or mini m&m’s.

Wow maybe I finally can get a reasonable GPU for my eGPU box to connect to my 16” MBP.

Wait, as someone overseas who hasn’t seen any of the Juul advertising what are some of the examples of them “blatantly advertising to children”? Is it just the fact that they are making flavoured nicotine products or has it been more nefarious than that. As an adult I kind of like some of the flavoured tobacco products from smoking shisha (argile, hookah etc) and they have had flavours forever and not been in the spotlight to marketing to children?

Very cool, even if I hate electron. :P

There goes the argument "if you're not paying for the product then you are the product" because ring and associated services aren't cheap.

Australian actually, and in this way I think they mean it as "a guide" is that the wrong use of the word?

Just out of curiosity are iPhones sold at a loss? From recollection they aren't. In most consoles the console itself is a loss leader for software sales so it wouldn't be a good direct comparison.

Hi OP I am wondering if you ever did the corsera course "Learning how to learn" and what your thoughts were on it and if the you consciously or unconsciously employed the methods described to help you learn new topics.

Sometimes the physical reset button would be the worst way to reset. I have lifx gen 1 bulbs (post Kickstarter) throughout my house and they are in high places/not easy to access without renting a large ladder/scaffold. Even the worst on/off procedure to reset would be easier than climbing to get to a physical switch.

Wouldn't Basecamp (http://basecamp.com) be one of the top people. They pay within the top 10% of salaries comparing to SV/SF salaries, and pretty much the whole company is a remote team.

First email was at a now defunct ISP called AsiaOnline, and was a combination of mine an my father's name (as he bought the modem haha)

Actually wait, it has Atlassian!!

Interesting, especially in a place that doesn't have a lot of history in tech startups (Sydney).

Well technically if it's listed on the ASX then it's gone public, i.e. Exited, so typically not called a unicorn.

Was that because the technology wasn't there yet or because titanium ones are in ways superior to composites?

Also I was curious why they didn't user any advanced ceramics in the turbine considering the temperatures involved, instead they used metal with cooling holes (and underlying heat sink structures).

Interesting, I watched a similar documentary from the GE side and I was under the impression that both companies were making composite fan blades. I guess that may just be GE while RR makes the hollow titanium blades (which are pretty amazing).
