> that's from over 100 km up through an atmosphere

Could be from atmospheric fly-overs.

Through which means?

This definetly looks like some sort of scam. Like a volume key license being resold against EULA or some such.

Who's hit with the transaction fees though?

Bonus question is which PCs had IR ports.

Yeah, it's really a masterpiece. It's utterly fantastic.

What's the use case? Clearly, you made it with some specific use in mind, at least initially. What was it?

This is truly excellent. The grid is completely randomly generated?

Stunnel basically allows you to easily secure existing network protocols.

POP3 over stunnel -> SPOP3.

A practical solution, both for legacy components and for the cases when you don't want to deal with implementing TLS natively.

Ultimately, it's very Unix in spirit. Does one specific thing and is composable with others.

> But it takes a lot of discipline to keep the slop out of the code base.

It is largely a question of working ethics, rather than a matter of discipline per se.

Aye. AI is also great for learning specifics of poorly documented APIs, e.g. COM-based brainrot from Microsoft.

They also have an excellent book, covering both the subject matter (knives and sharpening) and how the company came to be.

Somewhat similar to the book of the Blue Bottle founder on coffee and his company path. Both are basically, as the GP remarked, are glimpses into other people's passion and deep fascination with a certain subject. Fantastic reads IMO.

* In fact, let me add two more books - Ivan Ramen and Tartine Bread. Similar introductions into lives of people and their obsessions with a specific subject.

If anyone knows other books of the same nature, I'm all ears.

I was speaking from experience selling single-fee end-user Windows apps for about a decade. Trials are basically a must as virtually no one would pre-buy to test.

Perhaps on Macs it's different, or maybe it's due to your price point, but still your approach automatically drives away a large swath of potential, but cautious buyers, or those who don't want to be bothered by the refund process. Your pitch is "here is some good stuff, and here are the hurdles if you want to test it".

Just provide limited support to non-paying customers. Keep it forum-based, for example. That's it.

You are leaving a lot of money on the table.

The amount of people who do not want to pay upfront, but would buy after a trial, is not just substantial, but game changing.

You can also add the same pressure to test the app after installing by offering a 14 or even a 7 day trial.

1000+ is the "designer" lighting territory. Margins are enormous margins, but to charge those you need to be an established designer and have a reputation.

What's the reason it is so shockingly expensive?

There was one cosmonaut who died shortly after emergency return to the Earth. I think it was in the 90s, but maybe eariler.

Yup, same here.

The whole MO of ICE is that of intimidation. That's really their raison de être in the agency's current format.

They are effectively a paramilitary enforcing the agenda. Parallels with the 1930s Germany are really explicitly uncanny.

Before you reach for your wallets, remember -

It might be 50 days by an (admittedly very cool) bus, but it's only 84 days in foot!

* Consult your Google Maps and a sense of humor if it sounds to good to be true!

It appears to cover only the year 2012.

Neural nets were taught in my Uni in the late 90s. They were presented as the AI technique, which was however computationally infeasible at the time. Moreover, it was clearly stated that all supporting ideas were developed and researched 20 years prior, and the field was basically stagnated due to hardware not being there.

Doesn't the president require a Congress approval for this sort of military action?

> he was a young Nazi back in the day

He remained a Nazi member well into the 1950s, which I find truly bizzare.

... from some random blog. Happy users are great, but your post title is misleading and, basically, a click-bait.
