I wonder, what is stopping people from buying a x64 PC with a good CPU, slapping multiple ethernet cards over pcie (which support amazing speeds, good enough for 10G) and installing openwrt/pfsense on it?

This is something I really want to do, actually.

> India even prohibits foreign long-term residents from maintaining an account in their country of nationality

That is very, very excessive... Do you know what the official reasoning is for that?

My automatic (non DCT) car has 8 gears and I usually don’t even feel the shifts after 3rd gear at all.

I’d be surprised if other VC’s are not watching the show and making offers to rejected applicants.

I mean, I had a company asking me to send pictures of my passport and my residence permit by email in the first interview for a remote role. They acted very surprised when I flat out said "No, you can have them when you approach me with an offer. Then you can decide if my papers in order, not before"

Ended up not continuing the interview, as giving out very sensitive information like candies to companies on the first interviews is not a good idea at all.

I am pointing out the warped process of hiring within our industry, I am not justifying anything here.

People are doing this, because probably, they think it does work. They probably passed some interviews like this before and landed on their job, which is just mundane configuration update tasks, or just making a new integration with a new data source, and realized that there isn't a connection on what is expected on the interviews and what is expected on their daily jobs.

Maybe we should be looking at the core cause instead, the interview processes being not aligned with the daily jobs.

But, the thing is, the companies are putting down very sophisticated hiring methods that are not relevant to the job itself at all (e.g. hiring someone that can write quicksort in 30 minutes).

I presume, after passing the gatekeepers, most of the people can hold and do the job required from them at bare minimum. The fakers who can not code at all will be found, but someone with an average amount of talent should be able to collect the fat paycheck for several years, as most of the jobs do not require much anyways.

I am not sure why this was down voted, as sexism work both ways. Asking a woman to review a man's content is the same thing as asking a man to review a woman's content, and most people would not be fine with the second.

an alternative is to just buy a second hand rack server and send it to a colocation hosting provider. they maintain a good internet connection and supply the power.

Land is expensive. I am actually surprised why the companies don't lease home solar panel kits, e.g. you sign up and they install at minimal cost, and you pay for the electricity generated by the solar panels, but at a reduced rate compared to the grid. The ownership of the panels stay with the company leases them.

The box had already stickers that prove the cargo is fragile, even before putting TV images on the boxes. It is just that the handlers do not care at all if the cargo is fragile or not, but they probably receive quite a lot of heat for improperly handling TVs and monitors, as the damage to those items are quite visible.

Also, it was not always women on the other side of the phone, sometimes it was men with voice changers.

Not killing spiders is actually a great thing, as if they are able to survive inside your house, that mean they have enough food to survive. Given the fact that they mostly eat bugs, mosquitos and other insects, they are quite beneficial indoors (that also means you probably have more insects in your house that you would feel comfortable with).

To be fair, nothing can compete with rail on land, but replacing trucks might be a nice idea, especially for international hauls, as there would be no extensive border and customs check in every country on the way.

That’s what I am wondering as well. Can airships replace long distance truck lines?

Windings do have 1:1 mapping between characters and icons, so that would be easily reversible.

If there is no backend, and also if you are not collecting any personal data, maybe you can add a “privacy friendly, your personal data is not collected” marketing section as well. Although I am not sure if your users would care about that.

The malicious actors moved everything to "Legitimate Interest", which needs to be toggled off manually for each provider and very well hidden.

Yup, and you are not able to even rent a house without a positive score.

Is it because the crypto-exchanges tend to go in maintenance mode when a coin is going down?

I think ideal progression would be:

1st step: Everybody have their own cars and drive them manually (current situation, too many cars)

2nd step: Minority of the private individuals now own self driving cars (next step)

3rd step: Majority of the private individuals now own self driving cars. (almost all cars are self driving now!)

4th step: Commercial entities enter the self driving car sharing market as an option to privately owning a car, you pay for a subscription and have access to a fleet of cars.

5th step: People stop buying cars and the only cars on the road are owned by commercial entities, which can be rented at will.

5th step would be ideal, as this also eliminates the need of parking spaces within the city! Whenever their services are not needed, the autonomous cars can just navigate to a parking facility/hangar in the outskirts of the city. The amount of cars on the streets can be increased and decreased at will.

Fuel is also carried by special ships with extra precautions, but electric cars are carried just like normal cars without any extra safety.

Exactly, I am not sure if they would be allowed to be in the bicycle lanes in European countries (or at least in Germany)

It doesn’t. The point is the in content/in video ads severely decrease value I see in youtube premium.

I used to pay for the Youtube Premium as well, because the app is literally unusable on an Apple TV and iOS devices without it, the ads are just too much.

Unfortunately, the premium subscription does not work for the in video ads and promotions (shills) which seems to be everywhere now, so I cancelled my subscription, as I can not get the ad-free experience anymore, dropped the idea of using Youtube on devices where I can not install ublock origin.

edit: The idea is that I can not get rid of ads, even with the subscription, so the value of subscription itself is severely diminished.

I think that they do not mind spending 50k or 100k, they just want to secure the possibility of sale going through. They probably do know that the legal fees alone would cost them more, they just want the domain.

Going public is usually massively profitable for the founders although.

YPG is a organization with plenty of Kurdisch nationalists in it. Just like any extremist, whatever an extremist claims needs to be filtered and fact checked, and then taken with a pinch of salt.

Because the spammers got smart, they automatically remove the plus sign before sending emails.
