He wasn't urging caution when he was ahead.

Just ignore.

Well, that was a rabbithole. I learned that (BME - Bolsa y Mercados Espanoles - Spanish stock market) is owned by a Swiss company. It blows my mind that countries sell off such important infrastructure, even if in this case to a friendly country.

How about this?

This idea has an obvious problem. It's a lot of hard work. How many people are going to be diligent in planting canaries etc? And if you are, can you be diligent for the next 1, 2, 3 decades? That's a lot of time spent on this.

You know what would be better? If every bank provided as a service/feature the ability to create single-use (and single-merchant!) debit cards. Revolut can do it, why can't huge banks do it as well? (BTW if you know one that does, let me know.)

I thought Rust was supposed to be safe?

I'm not in Twitter, but I clicked that link just to see what you're talking about. I must've scrolled 50 messages and saw a total of 2 pepes. That's it.

Maybe Twitter is showing you that based on your historical account behavior? :-)

The supervisor is responding to the BS he's being told. OP isn't telling the supervisor "I have emotional problems that lead me to procrastinate as an avoidance mechanism". He's telling him something like "oh yeah I'm totally making progress with task X you gave me, I just didn't finish it because I went into task Y and made progress there instead".

He's doing everything except actual work. Procrastination is a horrible thing.

> In retrospect I now feel like a schmuck who basically gave free labor to a company

You mean, like you're doing right now? Comments on HN can't be deleted after an hour because they add value to HN forever. And by being here you're adding value to them. Basically free labor.

It means it has no server.

For sure, but I'm still gonna be talking about it.

> Seconds are close to heartbeats which has some psychological nicities

Ah yes, reminds me of the argument feet are better because it's a more human measure than meters (cf surely you're joking Mr Feynman)

I've been calling Elon musk a scammer for years. I'll be saying I told you so for decades.

You can tell straight away it's a grift from the fact they went thru the trouble of creating a computer graphic of how their factory would look like. I mean, who cares what the factory looks like?

Where is this 2019 coming from? I didn't notice anything different about 2019....

Ok since everyone here is a fan of metric, can we also do away with imperial time? What is this nonsense, 1 minute has 60 seconds, but all of a sudden a day has 24 hours and a week 7 days? Why the arbitrary ratios?

Compare to how 1 metric minutes is 10 metric seconds, 1 metric hour is 10 metric minutes, one metric day is 10 metric hours, one week is 10 metric days. How many metric seconds are there in one metric week? Well 10000 metric seconds, or 10 kiloseconds, of course. See how the conversions are so much easier in the metric system?

> Tesla will eventually be the largest company on Earth, and no one else is close.

Is your thesis that A) Tesla will finally develop fsd AND B) no one else will ever be able to?

Hey, don't let me stop you. I'm not advocating for you or anyone to NOT be a fanboy. In a capitalistic society, the existence of fanboys makes the world better of the rest of us.

These fanboy people are disturbing. I recently met an apple fanboy for the first time and it's unbelievable the mental gymnastics he used to explain how everything apple does is amazing. This is even though his his iphone, which is only 3 years old, is sluggish as shit. Thats not a problem according to him, because it's an intentional design decision by apple.

Some people pick a brand and it becomes their identity.

Oh, you want to gamify managing your money?

1- Install GnuCash.

2- Import your checking account into it.

3- Another account will automatically be created called "imbalance" with the opposite balance. The goal of the game is to manipulate other accounts so that the imbalance account eventually reaches 0.

4- did you have fun and want to keep playing? Import more accounts. Your credit card account, your mortgage account, your brokerage account, etc.

5- You can play in different difficulties. Do you have a tax account? Is it broken down into federal and state taxes? If so, does it match what the state/IRS thinks you paid?

Keep doing this and you'll become as good as any accountant.

Thanks for sharing.

Has the situation improved? I don't know. Fortunately I only touch windows at work in order to launch VirtualBox

It's attempts to entrech their own power, but IRS also collects money.

Just become something benefits the democrats doesn't mean it can't collect revenue for the state. So, my point still stands.

She's giving fashion advice, not creating legislation. I'm sure you understand the difference.

In any case, the fact that you tried to turn this around and make it american vs european suggests to me you missed my point. I wasn't suggesting that American culture is similar to Taliban culture. I was suggesting that the specific individuals who created this legislation are similar to talibans, they just happen to be American. I'm sure if you search you can also find Europeans who are culturally like Taliban (just not the specifically instance you linked, for the reason I pointed out).

Ah. That makes more sense.

If you were rewinding everyone, instead of having 1 player complain you'd be having N-1 players complain...

The Democrats are funding the IRS and the Republicans are defunding it. It was literally the first thing they did when they won the house.

They're all dishonest, but obviously not to the same degree.

American Taliban.

No offense to Americans generally, of course.

The pattern I keep seeing is: if the art is deviant the artist usually is too.

I agree with your solution. However, changing such an ingrained habit isn't trivial at the society scale.

> We love roundabouts

Context for our American friends. This isn't specific to London. Everywhere I've lived in Europe is more roundabout-heavy than the USA. Because, you know, they're objectively superior ;-)
