The health care system is the most expensive in the world, while not producing the best life expectancy. It is in fact very much in line with Poland, except if you have $20k/yr in Poland for medical expenses you can expect concierge le

I couldn't disagree more. I personally witnessed Vint give valuable advice to managers like me, often in difficult cases. It sounds banal but often in a large corp you know what you need to do, but will have a lot of - justified or not

Who is "we" and "them"? Don't you find it ironic, such a comment on a thread about protesting a regime which tries to control who does what?

The point is - while all of these systems are fuzzy at the edges, that is not a bug. Letting people reside in a few countries at the same time, and to pick a tax residency like a new winter jacket is a non-objective for the border, tax and

I'm curious how you managed to find nothing on lcamtuf. He's one of the most famous Polish hackers from the 90s, then one the best security researchers Google had. Even if you live under a rock, the substack has an "about&quo

I've got to admire Mason's chill in actually giving concrete replies to what are mostly ad-hominem attacks around this issue.

I find this quote funny and on some another level of disconnect about what they are competing with: > Not even Google ever printed 20k tshirts to give away for free. For a couple of my university years I had nothing but free Google t-shi

For me, it boils down to the question of participation in a flawed but powerful system in a hope of leading to better outcomes, or its avoidance in the hope of its downfall. This is the same line of reasoning you can apply to political elec

It's a house, or a cottage specifically, in Polish. Fun fact is it uses ch digraph, which is for "unvoiced h" and how we spell both ch and h these days. Naming is hard.

Changing network interfaces breaks connections and causes a new handshake. Browser session works at a different layer and doesn't prevent that. QUIC actually lets you migrate between connections (because the packets are identified by a

My theory is that, as an industry, we have almost completely lost (or maybe dilluted?) the ability to architect complex systems. Everything is 90% third-party libraries and microservices duct-taped together without much thought. Virtually e

You might like Withings Steel HR. It easily lasts a month on a single charge. Conversly, I now have their more premium Scanwatch, and I feel the UX regressed, while the added functions are not for me.

Germany has about 1000 railway locomotives operating 40k runs a day. A conductor job pays on average 50k€/yr. Most trains I've seen have more than one conductor, and you need to plan for weekends, shifts, time off, etc. but the lo

Oh no, 100% there is a list long as an arm of things Roblox is doing which are completely immoral. The whole thing sounds terrible in my book even if you did it to a consenting adult - and these are children.
