Thankfully my kids are devouring my Studio Ghibli collection. Ny Neighbor Totoro and Ponyo are played multiple times in the day. They've not yet gotten to Spirited Away, waiting until they are a little older. I dread the day they turn on Grave of the Fireflies. I thank the stars they have outgrown baby shark and cocomelon.
The movie that scarred me as a kid was Princess Mononoke. I remember my parents had a few friends over to watch it when it first released on DVD and they did this after my bedtime as I wasn't considered old enough to see but of course I snuck down to watch (I'm pretty sure they knew I was watching in retrospect).
The scene that I would relive in my nightmares repeatedly for years was the one where the protagonist's cursed arm comes to life in the middle of a pitched battle and everyone sets down their arms to watch as he pushes open a big gate or something. The music in this scene is foreboding, solemn, yet energetic, and the visual combined with the music evoked exactly the emotion I'm sure Miyzaki intended: dread at the vastness of the power of nature about which humans know naught, finally revealed in all its terrible horror. The prince's fate as a cursed person is supposed to feel worse than death and this was maybe my first time fully appreciating that concept in my short life, so it was doubly effective.
See there is a baby shark (doot do do do do) that also has a mama shark and a daddy shark. But the Grandma shark is also there. As is the ten hour version.
My strategy is to provide selective spoilers. I think the scary/violent parts of movies are easier on children when they are prepared emotionally that everything will be ok.
So for Spirited Away I warned them in advance, “It’s got scary parts-for example, her parents get turned into pigs! But it all turns out ok in the end. You’ll have to watch to see how.”
And for “Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro” something similar: “Just so you know, there’s one part where he gets shot with a gun and blood comes out. But don’t worry he doesn’t die.”
I dont know if this is valid, but i intentionally showed it to my kids super young hoping to normalize it so they wouldnt be afraid if it (they love it now).
While there may not be a clause in your employment contract there may certainly be a clause in the contract between your employer and the client that could possibly be more hassle than it's worth for the client.
The only way to know is to go through the process with the client, declare the possible conflict early on and let them research it on their side to see if it's worth going through with. Best of luck.
thanks, since I'll be going in via the normal recruiting channel, I assume it's best to bring this up in the initial phone screening phase with the recruiter? or could this harm me if the recruiter decides to just back away without escalating it higher up the chain? it's big tech corporate, so not sure how much agency recruiters have, and how closely they work with the teams they are trying to recruit for?
I went a different way and purchased a 24" monitor which has the hub built in. Support for the standard display ports, USB / USBC and ethernet. I have one single USBC cable connecting to the laptop for power, ethernet and everything else. Seems like this is the way forward for me at least.
These are surprisingly hard to find. Not impossible, there just don’t seem to be a lot of them so quality options are in short supply. I had a dell one for a few years I loved. 2x USB3.0 ports in the back hosting 2x external HDD’s, power for my computer, and my monitor, all through one USB-C port. It was brilliant. Damn thing only lasted about 2.5-3yrs though. I was bummed to see it go.

Wouldn't most online businesses just need to collect the taxes for the customers that their business operates in?
Posting this on the basis that there should be no stupid questions when it comes to tax.
For example; an Australian business needs to collect GST for Australian customers only. Americans accessing the Australian service would not be obligated to pay GST and as the Australian business doesn't have a US entity wouldn't have to collect US state taxes.
You would hope so, but no.
A good example is that the UK now requires online business to collect UK VAT on sales to UK customers, even when the seller is abroad - there are many similar rules and this will really help people, especially smaller businesses who really face big barriers in dealing with these rules.
That's not how it works within Europe. You need to collect taxes in the country where your customer is located, you need to register with VAT instances in those countries. There are exceptions, for example up to some total revenue you may be allowed to collect local sales tax instead. This is what I've understood, but it probably gets more complicated in real.
That kind of used to be the way it worked, but not for the last several years. Now you are generally expected to know about the tax laws and requirements for the customers region and collect and submit tax accordingly.
I set up my own rss server using Fresh RSS; got it running in a docker environment on my kubernetes cluster (buzzword bingo). I was an avid google reader fan but only came back to RSS when I abandoned Facebook, Reddit and slowly off Twitter. I don't follow feeds that don't give me the full RSS content (quickly unsubscribe). It's really brought back a joy to reading and I avoid doom scrolling; wonderful really. Oh and there's plenty of open source apps that interact with Fresh RSS, really a great tool.
Can someone enlighten me on storage? Is it stored on the docker container (locally) or does it allow for storage within say Google Storage or S3, even Backblaze perhaps?
I tried the demo on Firefox but I couldn't actually figure out how to upload an image to test it out. Firefox / Linux user.
