While you are right in that we have not yet seen the foreclosure/eviction impact, I think not all of it is 'head in the sand'. At least in the US, there are more systems in place to help people who are behind. Lenders are mor

It's more complicated than that. - Many poles are owned by power companies, or telephone companies. You can absolutely get a JPA (joint pole attach) agreement with most of these companies in theory. - In practice, your first problem is

We see some of this already on the inverse. FAANGs and their ilk frequently hire and keep talented developers with various forms of golden handcuffs. They could be doing much more to innovate, but the risk/reward vs being a code janito

I'm not so sure. It almost looks like the wages going up is getting "priced in" by businesses.

At least in the USA, most drive failures of early models (the ones that the swap trick worked on) were due to poor quality plastic carriages. Flipping the system upside down would help... for a time.

And, perhaps more importantly, they are using all of the monies to start getting their own foothold in other continents. IOW they are entering their own modern expansionist phase.

Well, given the 'inspirations' that regime had, one shouldn't be surprised.

My understanding of at least the Pfizer vaccine was that it primarily lowered the risk of developing COVID from a COV-19 infection. Also if I read it properly that means you could/would wond up in the asymptomatic spreader category. I

Dating apps can't solve everything. The upshot of this however is that, if you are being honest in your profile, these things are things that you want to do anyway. If you still take the effort to talk to the person before going on a b

I'm not sure whether the smaller size is an asset or liability here. There's likely some tradeoffs for manufacturing tolerances and/or thermals. (physics people speak up?)

Yeah but the slope gets slippery fast... Because in the past, some courts have ruled that ADTS systems are in violation even if their qualifying functions are unused. Iow even id a dependent manually entered numbers, it would still be illeg

Walmart dances on the same floor as FAANG, just a different dance. The main reason their monopolistic practices have been tolerated is the sheer number of employees they have. If they reduce that number too much, no amount of campaign contr

I think with Sierra you are right but it was a slower build up imo. I remember KQ6 being a big bit of pomp and circumstance with its production values etc, more promotion than you would see for a computer game at the time. And then KQ7 happ

Most low code tools I've seen companies drop 6-7 figures on would be worlds better if they had Excel's level of version control. I've seen low code vendors claim you can do reviews in git... but its an experience not unlike r

Good question. These are questions we possibly should have asked in the 60s or 70s with the Automakers. Heck, let's think about THAT for a moment. When we look back at history we see that the big 3 took a number of anticompetitive acti

That's... actually pretty interesting concept to consider. Sometimes I do wonder how much better we could all get along if some substances had relaxed or dropped restrictions. When you think about it, there's the mental toll on us

Personal/anecectotal, but totally. In my experience you will more likely see it if you are in a shop that is paying below market. I.e. Devs there make 10k less than other local shops. We wound up with some interesting folks. Got to see

There's also the unspoken issue... there are probably a decent number of people who profit off the current system that who do not want their meal ticket cut off. (Of course, this is ignoring the idea that UBI would possibly let them do

I usually use this logic nowadays whenever someone asks me about buying a 300$ laptop, UNLESS the use case is, in fact, literally email, static html, and word processing (which I've only seen once). Spending that extra 150-200 can make
