I think a lot of companies view their free plan as recruiting/advertising — if you use TailScale personally and have a great experience then you’ll bring in business by advocating for it at work.

Of course it could go either way, and I don’t rely on TailScale (it’s my “backup” VPN to my home network)… we’ll see, I guess.

Let’s see Stephan Miller’s card…

…are Turing Complete, so what you can do with them is exactly equal.

But they’re only equal in the Turing complete sense, which (iirc) says nothing about performance or timing.

States != cities, e.g., https://underscoresf.com/heres-what-you-make-as-a-low-income-earner-in-san-francisco/

If you own own a modest place (<2000 square feet) in a decent (not “old money”) neighborhood in San Francisco and have kids, I would be shocked if your household income isn’t $350k+/year. If that’s considered “upper class” then it’s a very sad statement about how standards of living have degraded — this is likely comfortable living but it is not exotic car + first class airfare money. And it’s almost certainly “less house” than you’d like.

And unless you inherited a lot, you definitely need to keep working to afford that modest lifestyle.

That claims ~$420k compensation with ~$25k “other.” If he is playing any substantial role in bringing in $100M+ funds for a good cause, I’d say this person’s compensation isn’t something I’m going to get worked up about. For VHCOL areas this is middle class household income (looks like they’re based in NY NY, so…VHCOL).

I’m too lazy to verify my hunch, but I’m guessing Texas is largely oil (exploiting natural resources), whereas California is largely intellectual output (tech, with some Hollywood and other sundry stuff), though California certainly does exploit its natural resources too (good farming conditions, some oil…).

It’s a pretty standard bandwidth/latency tradeoff in my view: email is high bandwidth (it’s in writing, you can re-read, etc.), whereas phone is low latency (several back-and-forth explanations can happen in seconds). Each has its place.

If social anxiety is a factor, that’s a perfectly valid, but separate, issue.

Well, yeah — dude’s brake cables are missing!

Yeah, though it looks like the cyan (which would be ~500nm) is actually false color UV image, judging by the same color scale as this https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/5-3-2024_sdo_x1pt6_flare_131/

Awesome, thanks for the detailed answer!

Can we please not do this on Lemmy? Pun comment threads are just the wurst.

>2000 mile flight. Not crazy long but not short. (The state of Alaska was not involved, just the airline.)

I remember when phones used to be good.

Telemarketers have been around for a long, long time (Wikipedia claim “…the practice of contacting potential customers by telephone originated in the late 19th century.”).

I personally recall a lot more telemarketing in the 90s, though I was a kid and just passed the phone to mom or dad. But that was also a time when caller ID was a luxury, and not everyone had answering machines.

In the US it depends on the airline. We went on a babymoon vacation when my partner was 30-something weeks and didn’t need to provide any documentation (Alaska Airlines). She did run it by her providers first, but that wasn’t an airline/TSA/FAA requirement.

Inconceivable! Some also look like Winston Churchill.

Sawyer filter inline with a camelback is awesome. I’d just fill up my camelback in a stream using a (clean) handkerchief to get the large debris out and then let the filter do the rest.

Yep — intersection at 2nd and Natoma it looks like.

In my head it was definitely Cave.

Some numbers are missing…[due to] out of memory error.

The S7+ seems to have 6 or 8GB RAM, but the iPhone 7 only has 2, yet it seems the iPhone ran the test and the S7+ didn’t. I wonder if the iOS implementation is that much better, or Android isn’t set up with any swap, or…?
