It's literally half than Dropbox, which costs €10 per month (so €30 per quarter) in its Plus variant. And that's if you pay per year; monthly payment costs €12 per month.
It's an OpenVZ virtualized VM. I can run whatever I want on it.
I personally do my versioning on my master backup, which has btrfs. Then I ship a copy to the cloud, which is my machine at time4vps.
Yes, my point being that you are comparing a fully-managed service to something which requires you to perform regular operational work. Since the price is the same, that seems like you're effectively valuing your time as free while getting less protection.
It's 2019, and Office for Windows still uses Internet Explorer to render add-ins built with OfficeJS.
This is slated to be switched to Edge (regular edge, not the Chromium-based build) with Windows 1903 and a newer Office version, but damnit if my life isn't going to be hell debugging IE for a couple months.
We don't live in that time period anymore. Our current Era is tough in its own ways, without people like you invalidating someone else's troubles. Done be a one-upper.
"#10 Recruiting: Gets involved with the recruiting process, such as outreach, screening, and interviews. Gives referrals to potential hires. Takes an active interest in new hires and onboarding. Is part of screening calls, interviews and code tests."
I can get behind taking an interest in new hires and helping out with the screening/interview process, but outreach?
No, that's the job that recruiters are paid to do.
I agree - outreach is probably not the right wording. What we mean is that if our employees know someone great in their network, we would love for them to tell those people to come and work with us. Also, we are a small team (12 people), so we don't regularly work with recruiters.
I'm annoyed how the author never actually explained what Corium was. Just described it as "the most toxic substance" and hoped readers would go along with the ride thinking it's some new material.
All it is is an amalgamation of melted fission materials and reactor components like control rods.
Yeah I feel like maybe some irony or humor is being lost too. Do we really think whoever named it "corium" was proposing an official name to be taken with seriousness and reverence? Probably it was a joke that started with its rhyming with thorium. Something on a par with "unobtainium." If a writer were to reverently and carefully explain that so-and-so's custom racing bike is made of unobtainium, the most expensive substance known to man, I'd be like, you missed the joke buddy!
It's mentioned somewhat, but admittedly not terribly clear:
> Of the five corium creations, only Cherobyl’s has escaped its containment. With no water to cool the mass, the radioactive sludge moved through the unit over the course a week following the meltdown, taking on molten concrete and sand to go along with the uranium (fuel) and zirconium (cladding) molecules.
Just for your information, so you know why you've been heavily downvoted … From the HN guidelines:
"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil [...]"
On HN, discussion is encouraged. Yes, Google exists, but we're here to share our ideas, our thoughts, our opinions; not simply parrot Google results at each other.
"This study, as well as other research on the connection between diet beverages and vascular disease, is observational and cannot show cause and effect."
And there we have it. The entire article written around what is actually not a study at all.
In my opinion, it seems to be the case that people who consume diet soda do so because they are trying to be healthier, but don't want to do the real healthy thing of giving up soda altogether.
That lack of discipline would surface in other aspects of their life and contribute to a unhealthy lifestyle as a whole.
Sure the UX can be improved a bit, but it's been rock solid so far and gets the job done.
