Because time in the real world uses leap seconds. The time businesses open and close. The times reported in news articles. And so on. What facebook wants is for all of them to stop using leap seconds so facebook’s infrastructure is simpler

The lasers they use are extremely specialized, since they have to deliver outrageous amounts of power for a very short period of time. Advancements in normal lasers may not be of much use here Edit: Wow, looks like they have improved con

In most of the US they aren’t common. Outside of that debacle in Texas, I can’t recall any rolling blackouts in the US from lack of supply. The rarity is quite likely why that event made international news and got so many people around the

This comment would be more compelling if it gave any hint about what aspect of the tooling the author didn’t understand or what they should be doing differently.

Adding features to existing software is much cheaper than writing entirely new software (not to mention the cost to switch!) At the same time, new features in low level software can unlock substantial value. Say a new API that speeds up y

Email addresses aren’t usually secret though. If an employer happens to know the personal emails of a large fraction of its workers, it isn’t going to be meaningfully slowed down by a hash. 1M addresses * 1 second/address = ~12 days (a

In other words, you paid $17.30 for $27 of goods and services ($19.50 if the driver avoided the return trip). Which means someone was losing money on the deal and the price is unlikely to be sustainable long term

Wouldn’t the delivery service just use the driver’s name when placing the order?

They’re paying you to get real people to sign up with the intention of using the service. If you sign up a bunch of sock puppet accounts, or pay a bunch of people to sign up for a month and then cancel, then you aren’t holding up your part
