This is only true if you use a credit card. A debit card on the otherhand, carries a lot of liability.


The "science" on treating Opioid addictions at this point would just be reaffirming what we already know with mountains of "anecdotal" evidence. You want to solve the Opoid problem? Legalize Ibogane, DMT, Psilocybin, and MDMA, it is that simple.


>I'm enjoying TDD a lot

Meh, test are great in so far as they can help you not break things if you upgrade the framework, or langauge in the future. But other than that I have to agree with Kent Beck's sentiment of "I get paid for code that works, not for tests".

If I had started out trying to learn Django using TDD as in this tutorial:

I never would have learned Django. I would have given up with the ridiculous slow progress of results and functionality.


>the config files were always messy.

How? It so much cleaner and simpler than Apache. I don't get this sentiment.


Simpler than apache doesn't mean simple. As someone who sets up HTTP servers rarely, I had trouble when I tried out NGINIX.

But I suspect for people who do it more seriously, then it's nginix config hits the sweet spot. To me the language seems sophisticated, well documented and fairly well behaved if you pay attention to the rules.

That's can make it too hard for someone casually trying to quick-start some experimental project. But it's exactly what you want if you are maintaining a long-lived set up that is likely to grow and become complicated over time.


>Money as we know it depends on the authority of the state for credibility, with central banks typically managing its price and/or quantity.

More accurately stated:

Money as we know it depends on the authority of the state for credibility, with central banks typically manipulating its price and/or quantity.

Which is why Cryptocurrency is attractive in the first place.


Which is why Cryptocurrency is attractive in the first place.

I expect if you did a survey, a very small, very libertarian group of cryptocurrency "investors" may be concerned about governments managing their respective currencies.

The vast majority just wanna make money on the hottest new thing. A subset of those people might even believe in the fundamentals. The rest are just glorified gamblers.


This reminds me of the dot com boom. There was a very small very libertarian group of people excited about things like disintermediation, the vast majority of investors just wanted to make money on the hottest new thing, a subset of those might have believed in the fundamentals but the rest were just gamblers.

The more things change the more they stay the same. LOL


Game Theory would probably be more valuable to understand than graph theory. Just my 2 cents.


$21 a month per user.....to host it on my own hardware....no thanks. If I am hosting on my own hardware then you get a one-time-fee, none of this subscription nonsense.


glad I'm not the only one to find this subscription BS patently insulting.


You're not a 1Password user, are you? They are pushing the subscription model super hard.


>high-frequency radiation

Am I the only one concerned with this? I mean it's great that they were able to do this, but I would like some comprehensive studies by various institutions and universities to come to a consensus that this wouldn't have any long-term health side effects.

He basically building off his work at AMD, there was an announcement about a month ago that Telsa will use Zen chips for their self driving cars, surprise surprise. Who would have thought the guy that was lead the effort to design Zen has opted to use those chips in his new project at a another company.


Even if he hadn't helped in their design, it's a great chip for the massively parallel computing needed for smart cars.

The fact that (vs Intel) using it knocks $500+ off the price of the car (that's a couple percent of the model 3 selling price) and uses less power under typical loads makes it an even better proposition.


Better not drive fast on the same roads over and over, the car might crash!


Do you have source on Tesla using AMD chips?


And Apple was more than Jobs and Woz, but they get all the credit.


From what I have read, Woz is in a league of his own. If anything he doesn't get the credit he deserves.


It's true. https://www.theymadethat.com/things/iwe/apple-macintosh-128k

It's just so hard to track any history related to people who are not super famous.


Reading Woz's book, it seemed like he knew what every gate on every chip on the first Apple computer... if not gate, at least every chip.


The strange thing about Woz is that I don't know what he worked on at Apple after the Apple II
