Insane to see the government resources used to prosecute this - it's basically play money for rich guys who want to show off.

If you have 120k a year to burn on a "hobby business" I think it's pretty safe to say you're in the top 1%. Calling it a "donation" doesn't change that.

Yeah he correctly identifies the outcome, but like I said he misattributes the cause. And his rhetoric is not helpful in getting "common people" around to his cause. It comes across as elitist and condescending.

The verbs are not the issue. America has been hollowed out by political propaganda, offshoring and growing wealth inequality. Sagan fails to identify any of these and instead dunks on harmless folk superstitions. Show me where the Fed rate

There's something deeply ingrained in the American psyche that says that warnings and guardrails are for other, stupid people. You, personally, are no doubt an ubermensch who can perform every procedure flawlessly from memory every tim

My point was that this was indeed a vanity project by someone with more money than sense. At no point does it seem like they had any business plan or conception of how to make money from actually operating the business. It's just cospl

The "crystals and horoscopes" part is such a cheap jab that's going to alienate a lot of the population. Astrology is a harmless introspective process for most people, they just like having a framework to characterise their b

This is insane overhead if you want to try and run a "leftist" business. It sounds like Scarlett is a trust fund baby with more money than sense. I've been running a retail business with similar inventory costs for a couple y

For people who don't read TFA: > In addition to SSNs, the database reportedly includes Americans’ place and date of birth, work permit status, and parents’ names This is quite a bit more information than just a number.

Huh, so if the people going to emergency for the flu had primary care doctors they wouldn't have to go to emergency? That's almost like an argument for public non-emergency clinics and universal health insurance so people can get

It's not a case of the manager not supporting her, it's a case of the manager putting something that could have been informal - "I'm happy with your performance and if you need to take some breaks during the workday I su

Nope! Her manager had no concerns about her performance and has expressed regret about the situation because it has made everyone's life harder. The manager likes her and wants her to stay at the company, but because she's a &quot

Yeah I understand why they can't do it for backwards compat reasons. Considering they had the forethought to randomize map iteration order it's a big foot gun they've baked into the language.

I can't over-emphasize the role line managers play in decoupling the delusion expectations of leadership and the ground truth of employees' lives. I think a lot of CEOs would burst into flames if they saw an average IC's day,

In my experience these hacky changes are usually a consequence of some impedance mismatch in the codebase. Something is poorly factored, the interface (whether technical or personal) isn't suitable for purpose. It's easy to push b

A go slice is a wrapper around a normal array. When you take sub-slices those also point to the original array. There's a possible optimization to avoid this footgun where they could reallocate a smaller array if only subslices are rea

What we're currently doing is creating a permanent underclass of "criminals" who are viewed as subhuman and used as political fodder. The status quo benefits wealthy people by providing cheap labour and a convenient scapegoat

In most cases people just want any inheritance, this is the backwards way the Golang devs decided to implement it based on their 80s view of programming languages.

EB-5 requires a million dollar investment that creates 10 jobs for 2 years. There's also documentation of the source of the funds. 1 million dollars seems exceptionally cheap for a US resident visa with no strings attached. In Canada s

There's a really cool thing called a train where you can go places and do whatever you want in the process. If you want to be drunk and fuck around with your phone I recommend taking a train or bus.

Bone conduction headphones will give you the same audio experience with better battery life and usb-c charging. I think a lot of people don't want to "feed the beast" and reward Meta for their terrible impact on society.

It sounds like they took the original film negatives and rescanned them. You can scan them at varying levels of light intensity to get more detail in the highlights/lowlights. By comparison a single compressed digital file is going to

The "magic" is just global state? I agree that I try to avoid global state in my code but it's hardly Spring Boot levels of auto wiring bullshit.

In my experience using e-ink readers (admittedly I have a Kobo, which may not be the state of the art), I would like to refresh the screen rapidly in bursts -navigating menus, flipping past an index - and then have a non-backlit screen with

The vertical fold ones might be better. I had the newest Samsung Flip (horizontal folding) and the screen died twice. Both times from a small rupture on the seam. The tech at the phone place said it happens constantly, and it costs hundreds
