You can get push notifications to your phone from a website through the browser, even when that website isn't still open.

But presumably developers have more control over app notification look & feel vs browser notifications?

Are you suggesting moving operations to the US with this comment? It's the US adding all the uncertainty and instability to this environment. Having your operation based in the US makes this worse. You still have tariffs being applied to most of the components you need to assemble your product. You're now subject to more laws and rules changing overnight without the ability to plan ahead for them. If you're a company selling this product worldwide, you now have 100% of your operations subject to uncertainty vs. say 30% that was destined for the US market to begin with.

I've been playing daily and really enjoying. I take it the play store version is now gone? I would gladly pay a few dollars for a curated list of puzzles.

You keep a credit card on file in your Tesla account. The supercharger recognizes your car and it automatically charges your card.

TL;DR: Compleat and Complete were originally different spellings for the same word. In UK, compleat is still just an archaic spelling. In USA, compleat is used as an adjective to refer specifically to having all the necessary elements or skills.

To sum up the article, they claim:

  * Somebody (probably America) sabotaged the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline.
  * That's related to the war in Ukraine because? wars are always about resources?
  * The EU doesn't have any options to replace the gas that needs to come from Russia.
  * That's going to drive all EU citizens back to an agrarian lifestyle.
  * And also, the EU is too weak of an institution to defend its citizens.

It reeks of conspiracy theory to me. EU citizens should hate the US for driving them into poverty and should embrace Russia invading their neighbor.

One of the first results that comes up for me when I search "Nordstream 2" is the Brooking institute discussing similar conspiracy theories spreading among podcasters in the US, parroting the Kremlin: https://www.brookings.edu/techstream/u-s-podcasters-spread-k...

I would hope so. I don't think that place of birth, or ability to get a visa should determine salary.

However, personal experience and friendship group makes me think that US tech salaries have only accelerated over the last couple of years. I went looking for some data to back up the idea to tech salaries have accelerated, but https://spectrum.ieee.org/engineer-salary was the best I found, and was less dramatic than I expected.

Personal Capital actively prompt to try to set up a meeting pretty much every time you log in. They're hoping that you'll sign up for some active management stuff, or do they have a robo-investing option (I can't remember.)

At a certain net-worth, they'll start calling you on a regular basis trying to get you to do the same.

It's all pretty annoying. Perhaps do that, and after a 6 months of so of calls and prompts, then offer to stop calling / prompting for $10 a month.

What does postal voting have to do with that? they could also force you to film yourself at a polling station...

I do the same. I just have one saved. No one has ever complained, even when it's blatantly obvious that I didn't sign it by hand.

I figure even if they do complain, it doesn't matter. Its not like I don't have permission to do what I want with my own signature. The worst might be that they come back and say "sign it properly please" and then I have to go through the effort of printing it out and scanning it back in.

"... And then it burnt down" was probably the funniest thing I heard touring the "thousand" year old castles in Japan. Being completely levelled by a fire seemed to happen about once every 200 years.

I've found that typically the easiest and very close to the cheapest way to get foreign cash is to simply withdraw it from an ATM in the destination country. Always make sure that they're charging your bank in the local currency to avoid poor exchange rates. You'll usually pay a couple bucks at the ATM and a couple more at your bank (unless you use somebody like Charles Schwab), but even with a $5 surcharge, the market rate used usually beats out the rate you can get at a money changer or from your bank before you travel.

From previous reading of Linus rants, it sounds like they're pretty particular about keeping source code and git history clean. Why didn't they go back and reverse the new root created by the README.md repo?
