The seemingly lack of intelligence isn't due to them being ineffective, but rather being effective at a task you weren't necessarily evaluating.

The key difference between marketing and advertising is that marketing is advertising with the added intent of creating a sale to the person viewing the advertisement - advertising directly to their target market.

Advertising is more about brand awareness and viral marketing. You bought a pool filter and won't need one for another year, but you probably have friends/live near/know people who may be in the market for a pool filter, and if they ask you about buying one, the brand awareness may encourage you to suggest that brand, even though you may not have used it yet or no anything else about other brands - which is another key benefit.

Essentially, advertising has a 2-tier benefit. Firstly, it solidifies brand awareness, and secondly, it takes up space that would have gone to a competitor. Now the cost of competing is that much higher, because in order to get your business a competitor would need to invest in a superior product and invest in bringing awareness to you.

You are literally agreeing with everyone accusing him of being ignorant though. You think you're defending him, but this is what everyone is saying. The fact that dealing with NHTSA or what that entails is "hindsight" to him is what makes him almost mind-bogglingly ignorant here. I would think a precocious 12-year-old would have been able to predict that, or at least would have the smarts to, say, at least ask somebody ahead of time (like a lawyer) what legal hurdles his business (that has life-and-death consequences, and that he sought funding for) might have to deal with in the future. His own explanation for what happened makes him sound way worse than if he hadn't explained it at all.
Precisely! However, if you think about it, the Matrix Trilogy does not contradict this notion. Many people believe the "real world" presented is in fact another layer of the Matrix, otherwise, how would Neo have superpowers in that world (among other issues)?

Relevant article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/01/upshot/members-of-the-opp....

A study conducted for the New York Times study shows that Americans, especially women, have quite negative views of being alone with members of the opposite sex. Only 29% of women consider having a drink alone with a man who is not their spouse to be appropriate behavior, and only 63% think a one-on-one workplace meeting is appropriate. Some trends are surprising: when it comes to dinner, 60-70% of women 18-29 view it as inappropriate, but only 30% of women 55+.

I'm not sure what the takeaway is. To me it seems like the product of a culture that has trouble drawing appropriate boundaries between romantic and other contexts. Perhaps it is an outgrowth of the fact that people are basically institutionalized from ages 13-22. School is all consuming--it's where you "work," where you socialize, where you pursue romantic relationships. When people get out into the "real world," they have little experience with all the myriad difference social contexts of ordinary life, and see the workplace as a similar environment.

So you reduce the top-line offer by 3%? Or, if your written offer specifies 3% back to you, how does the seller's agent manage to take 4% in contradiction to the offer? Not sure what jurisdiction you're operating in, but I wasn't aware that offers could dictate chagnes to the terms of a pre-existing listing agreement between the seller and their agent. Would love more details on how to effect something like this.

It's specifically, originally, a term for overgrazing a pastureland resulting from the kind of arrangement you described; there are a number of generalizations from that example which have been given the name, including both the one you describe, and the even more general condition in which each player has a dominant strategy of defection even though all players cooperating has a better payoff than all defecting.

Because there's a large swath of people in the technology industry who consider not understanding social graces well to be a virtue. Most of the time that just comes out as being awkward in a stereotypically nerdy way, but it also manifests as being unable to see what is so wrong with hitting on someone in a business setting or being unable to see why someone might be so upset about it.
The omnibus package is similar to the nixos way of things, except focused on one application rather than the whole system. Once the package is installed, it uses a configuration file, and a set of Chef cookbooks/recipes[0] to configure the individual components.

So yes, Gitaly does come with it's own configuration file that needs to be managed. It does use the same paths as the main gitlab-rails application, so our cookbook has a method to convert the configuration of one to the other[1]

Great observation. So if we have to choose between diversity as a target and as a measure, which would be better ?

Bacterial infections are no longer a serious threat -- even bubonic plague has been brought under control. It's unlikely that bacteria will ever become fully immune to one or another antibiotic, but if that does happen we've still got penicillin, bacteriophages, and sterilization techniques; bacteria will never again be as dangerous as they were as recently as the late 1800s.

For further clear-cut changes of the world for the better, there's smallpox eradication, the immanent eradication of guinea worms, the extirpation of polio from most of the world, and the development of anaesthesia.

There is no possible way that could go wrong. Especially when TSA or Customs asks: "Are you carrying anything for someone else?"

No, "we".

Conversation is a lost art nowadays, but when it was still a thing, a part of it was making general statements, and extrapolating general trends -- even if a statement was only factually correct for just a large (or small but increasing) number the people and not absolutely everybody down to the last person

In those days, counter-arguments involved argumentation on why something is not the case in general, as opposed to just saying something analogous to "speak for yourself".

Heck, in those days, the "that's according to my opinion" part didn't have to be declared either, as it was implicitly obvious to everybody.
In reality it is Google, Apple, and Microsoft who decide what web technologies will be implemented and users who decide what browsers to use.

I've found lifting heavy, and often, to be difficult to stick to while holding down a career. Specifically because of this:

> You're always sore, but after a while you get used to it.

Being incredibly sore makes it VERY hard for me to get going in the morning (something I already struggle with). It sounds like you might naturally be a morning person if you're exercising at 5am, so maybe this isn't an issue for you. I find I'm running a lot more these days. I've lost weight as a result, but, at least I'm functional at work.
I generally have a different opinion. I am somewhat in the industry (construction side) and I feel that generally most realtors dont really have much knowledge of what they are selling. Furthermore, it is relatively easy to get a real estate license (at least where I live) and the handful of acquaintances that have gotten their license really dont know more than the average person.

I actually find the lack of knowledge of most realtors very surprising (not that there arent some really good ones out there). When we were working with one to find a home, we would walk into a place and our realtor would look through the listing sheet and be like "oooh they supposedly have a good quality insulation in their walls", I would then need to explain to him what an R value means and that no they truly didnt have good insulation and what they were using as a marketing point was in fact the minimum required by code. I would then point out a few other items (jump ducts, hollow core doors, etc) that would make me feel like I was walking into a Habitat for Humanity type of home, not a $600,000+ residence.

Buying a home is the largest single investment people are likely to make in their lifetime and they have almost 0 knowledge about what they are buying and do almost no research into it other than the location. They then rely on input from someone regarding what they are buying that has very little additional information other than comparable sales and "knowledge" of the market. I wrote a business plan a little while around this, but never took past just putting some ideas on paper.

I don't think this is really Redfin's fault. You just got a bad agent through them. Were they an official Redfin agent or one of the affiliate ones? Also, I bought a house through Redfin in Seattle 5 years ago, and that agent was one of the most responsive people I've ever worked with. He even bought me a really nice gift basket when I closed.
I just played your game, it is extremely fun but I think there is a lot of missed potential and to be honest I would never buy it in its current state. It feels like a tech demo rather than a full game. My unsolicited advice is as follows:

The art is boring. Most bullet hell games either have a mecha or anime art style with a lot of flashy effects. The closest in style to your game is probably geometry wars but your game lacks all of the color, warping, and particle effects that makes geometry wars look cool. You should invest money in the art.

It is very interesting that whenever you die in the game you are essentially killing yourself, or some sort of past version of yourself is killing a future version of you. There should be some sort of narrative element to highlight and expand upon this idea. I think it is way less interesting to sell it as "your enemies learn from you" when you could be selling as "a battle against all your past selves", way more emotional content in the latter, you're fighting all of your mistakes, all of your hubris, all of your near-sightedness, and every shot you take is another nail in your coffin.

To expound on this emotional element your character should be some sort of actual character, not just a green triangle... This doesn't mean you need a big backstory or cutscenes or anything major like that, something as simple as a drawing of a cute girl with a couple lines of dialogue will suffice. the thing you actually control can still be a spaceship but the player should know there is a character inside of it and they should know what they look like, you could make it so off to the side of the screen the characters face could pop up and react to what is going on. Go to tumblr and ask some type of fan artist to draw you a 'time traveling spaceship pilot that battles her past self and is really cute" and pay them for their work. Then when you die you can see that same character pop out of the space ship that killed you and celebrate ;)

You should rethink the gameplay progression and how the levels work. It doesn't seem clear to me why you split up the gameplay into discrete levels rather than having continuous play with 'respawning' enemies. I don't see why I have go through the weapon type progression linearly each time either (shouldn't I be able to collect or switch weapons or something?), reminds me of my main issue with geometry wars which was that I had to play for about 15 minutes before the game really became fun and that I had to redo that boring 15 minutes every time I died. Just start me with the fun gameplay or make the ramp up period very short.
