16GB is $200 more, 24GB is $400 more. Not horrible but can't help feeling it should start at 16GB at this point.

Probably not for the Macbook Pros. The current ones are already backordered multiple months, not much incentive to release new ones this year.

Plastic might not even be strong enough since these are so thin.

The M1 pro is the coolest device I have ever used, not sure what you mean by "even worse"

I'm looking at a picture of the previous model and having trouble understanding what you mean, when on a table the surface where your wrists rest is still parallel to the table, and the top edge isn't rounded in any way. Only the bottom is rounded, but that isn't touching your wrists anyway.

Has both just like the new Pros. They didn't specifically confirm you can charge on USB-C, but my guess would be you can.

Is he including year 3 and 4 RSUs when calculating that? If so not a great comparison as comparable companies don't back-weight RSUs and also give bigger refreshers after year 1.

Amazon has dramatically increased pay in the last year though, to be fair.

> stop ruining the workplace with societal politics

Isn't the failure to do so the subject of the talk?

There's a second option where they just raise social security taxes or inject other tax revenue into it. I think that's more likely, cutting payments seems politically unfeasible.

$200k not including social security though, which won't be nearly as impacted by a crash in equities. I also wonder how much of that $200k is in stocks vs bonds / CDs / home equity (not sure if this is counted) etc.

All of those things are directly attributable to miles on the car. More miles means more repairs, more frequent oil changes, faster depreciation of your purchase price etc. On the other hand, number of transactions is purely a function of block size and transaction size (which again has no influence on energy usage).

It's just an incorrect attribution. If there are no transactions, blocks will still be mined. If there are more transactions than can fit in a block, no extra blocks will be mined. If the transaction format changes so that more transactions can be included in a block, the energy usage doesn't change.

It's just a very obfuscating way to describe what's happening. Not only is it not a useful abstraction, but it actively leads you to wrong conclusions to talk about it in terms of energy use per transaction.

Yup, I've been rejected from a couple things, but it works for the vast majority

> But trading on things like inside financial information, an M&A, major partnership, etc. before they're made public

Yeah none of that stuff is in Jim Cramer's show lol

Yeah deliverability is a good point. I'm usually only using this trick for services where I wouldn't be sending outbound email luckily. Normal emails come from mydomain.com.

I try to disguise it a little to avoid the awkwardness, and also put the recipient into the subdomain instead of sender name. For example for grubhub I'd do:

me@grb.mydomain.com

No need to remember anything because it's all in a password manager. I've found this worthwhile, already blocked a couple spammers.

You could also go with something fully random, you still get the same benefit. It's easy to look in your email history and see what you originally used the email address for. Password manager obviously required though.

Were the loans charging interest during that time though? You could have put the money in CDs / I bonds / savings account, earned some interest, then paid it all towards the loans when the pause ended.

Putting off student loans that aren't charging interested in a time of high inflation is smart not stupid

Agree with most of your comment, but I think "meth mouth" is pretty much debunked. It's the lifestyle of a meth addict that rots your teeth not the meth itself, nothing in your link claims it rots your teeth "no matter how much you brush them".

I don't think that's out of the ordinary. With most big tech health plans you'd probably pay little or nothing if you stayed in network.

How would investors know what hours the devs are working?

Isn't that like 2 hours each way..? That's like a quarter of your day, no thanks.

You think a bank is going to loan you hundreds of thousands of dollars because of your religion? I'm not even sure what you mean by that.

You can get more if you are willing to deal with the points. For example, Chase will give you 3 points per dollar on some cards on some categories, and Amex will give you 4. Those points can be >$0.01 each transferring to airline miles (or in the case of Chase $0.015 "paying yourself back" for restaurants). No card will give you 4.5% cash back on restaurants.

Project based billing just creates a different perverse incentive of churning out garbage that technically meets requirements

OP has no responsibility to share about their illness. In this case they are perfectly within their right to tell some half truth (wanted to spend time with my family, study x subject, burnout etc) and your company might be in some legal hot water if you fired OP in response to finding out they were ill during that time..

Frankly I think it's unethical, and shows a lack of empathy, to punish someone for hiding an illness from an employer.

The median wage in the US is like $35k, but that does not mean $70k is a high dev salary..

Binance doesn't have that much to do with BUSD. It's a white labeled version of USDP run by Paxos which is an American fintech company not related to Binance.

Ehh, not sure I'd make the comparison. Plenty of tech companies don't have QA engineers. Hospitals without nurses not so much..

No it's not..people buying in order to redeem brings the price closer to the peg, not further away.
