Raw milk cheese is not banned in the US, in fact it has a specific exemption in the federal law regarding unpasteurized milk. Further, those laws only apply to transportation across states, so you can legally buy raw…
Did you not change your address and license when you moved states? That's typically required within 30 or 60 days, although a lot of people do ignore those laws.
Most American cards are chip and signature, not chip and pin. And they weren't even chip at all until recently.
No, it's really weird for you to refuse to have a regular 1:1 with your direct report because she's a woman. That's creepy and not normal at all.
Not knowing anything beyond your irrational refusal to have meetings with women and your apparent contempt for their careers, I'm inclined to believe the (multiple?!) sexual harassment complaints against you. It's…
What's going on in Venezuela with Bitcoin? From googling, it sounds like a small fraction of the population is setting up mining operations because electricity is subsidized enough to make it profitable. But I'm not…
This is not propaganda, it's science. Anthropogenic climate change is a factual reality. The polar bear is mentioned in the article as a simple example of species whose habitats are changing because of human actions.…
I'm scratching my head about "we dont have money to pay for kafka+zk+monitoring(kafka,zk)". Kafka and Zookeeper are both open source. As are monitoring and alerting tools such as Prometheus. Surely the hosting and…
There's something pretty rich about asking the government to intervene in a project described as: Tezos is a new decentralized blockchain that governs itself by establishing a true digital commonwealth. Especially one…
I think there's certainly some interesting ideas happening, but the jury is still very much out on whether cryptocurrencies even have a future. It's been several years now and we have... what? Thousands of memes about…
I really like the point about considering cloud computation costs. It would be great if individual developers could get feedback like, "This patch caused X% CPU cost per request, resulting in Y% monthly cost increase to…
I agree, but Metafilter is extremely heavily moderated and there is a (small) cost to get privileges to comment/post. It also has a full time staff managing the community. I don't see either of those things changing on…
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't useful. For a trivial example, I often use calculus to measure rate of change of telemetry of production systems, and that's just as a simple developer…
97% of American Households own a television. Which is down from 98.9% since last year, and is the first decline in 20 years, according to the article.
I don't think that distinction is meaningful. The digital ad market is frighteningly sophisticated and coldly logical. You are shown ads for things that optimize what you're likely to buy/click multiplied by how much…
Mind linking me that article about dumping Go for Node.js? I'd love to hear the reasoning behind that!
That would devastate the huge swaths of rural America dependent on federal subsidies for income, medical care, fuel, etc. Are those people supposed to simply die? Become refugees in the coastal states that generate the…
