Off topic, but I'm hoping you'll maybe see this. There's been an issue with the VS code extension that makes it pretty much impossible to use (PreToolUse can't intercept permission requests anymore, using PermissionRequest hooks always open the diff viewer and steals focus):

UBO Lite doesn't support cosmetic filters or custom rules.

yes? you either copied the code from somewhere and didn't bother fixing the comments or you write nonsensical comments. neither is great.

so, the hiring manager should spent more time on formulating the rejection than the candidate spent on reading the actual requirements?

I don't doubt that physical hardware would be cheaper than AWS at their scale, but their graph seems off: They are showing no difference between on demand and reserved pricing, with reserved pricing often even being more expensive. Are they actually taking the full 3-year up-front cost and comparing it to monthly on-demand pricing?

used to be possible around 2011-2012 but worked too well so was obviously removed.

this has probably been the first and only new features added to a product in years, that's actually been useful to me personally.

this worker came to me, crying, tears in his eyes: Thank you Mr. Puchai for firing all these people.

not only is this completely wrong, but you aren't taxed on assets, and capital has nothing to do with it either.

assuming you meant revenue and income, your example actually perfectly illustrates the problem. Company A has $1MM in revenue, spends $1MM on SE salaries and is taxed on $800k income. Company B has $1MM in revenue, spends $1MM on some AWS db service and has no income to be taxed on.

Bad comparison. Ballmer launched Azure, Surface, Bing, Xbox and Office on iOS and Office365. He was also the one go all-in on the cloud and to start the shift towards embracing Open Source. Pretty much everything that people attribute to Nadella either launched or started under Ballmer.

Analytics, AdSense, Doubleclick, Blogger, Google Groups, Google Voice, Picasa, AdMob, Postini, recaptcha, Nest. AdWords was stolen from Overture, after their ridiculous idea of a monthly, flat fee for a keyword failed. Afaik, Gmail is the only successful Google product that wasn't an acquisition.

no, they've changed quite a bit, only the first scene is sticking somewhat with the original version. 5 minutes in at least half the dialog has been rewritten. and all the changes are for the worst.

because people (intentionally) keep conflating interchange, card scheme fees as well as fees paid to the merchant's acquiring bank in order to make US/UK fees seem more outrageous. Just going off of Stripe pricing, the processing fee is 1.3% for EEA issued cards compared to 2.9% in the US.

did you even read the moneygram PR?

"Consumers can now go into a MoneyGram location to either load their digital wallets to access the digital economy, or cash-out their digital currencies to increase the utility of their holdings."

So the real world use-case for Moneygram is to exchange cryptocurrency for cash and vice versa. How exactly does this refute his point?

And having blockchain domains that can only be accessed using a particular dns, a VPN service, certain browsers or having to install an extension is hilarious.

Not to mention ENS is running their "web3" on Cloudflare. The decentralization is truly mind boggling.

Oh and loved this part about handshake renewal fees:

"Renewal fees and ownership It’s important to understand that when you buy a traditional domain, you are hooked to pay the domains registrar a renewal fee each year. This is a fee to maintain ownership of your domain name. The renewal fees are subject to change and often times driven by ICANN and then the registrars. So with traditional domains, you don’t truly own them – you are simply leasing it"

And handshake domains solve this by:

"Handshake domain names provide true ownership. Which means there are yearly renewal fees*"

Gotcha, makes sense.

that's what BIMI certificates are for.

Just FYI, but that email is faked. By default, gmail will only show logos for senders automatically for domains with verified BIMI certificates. Since that's obviously not the case here, the only other way is to add the gmail address to your contacts and manually set an image for that contact. Or I guess the logo could have been added to the screenshot. In any case, rather misleading.

Without that Venmo logo the whole scam is rather obvious. But hey, anything for clicks I guess.

Edit: Also obvious from the times of the screenshots. The email was received at 9:47am, the screenshot not showing the logo was taken at 9:49am. The screenshots showing the venmo logo however weren't taken until 2:23pm and 2:50pm.
