Reminds me of the old saying: "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."
What you experianced was a sales person needing to make a sale. They will promise and then they hope the programmers/techs will deliver. It's very common for software sales, in any field, to do this.

Here's another common got you. They will sell you the software very cheaply and get you to use it in your business. Once the software becomes an important part of your business they will sell you upgrades at many times the original price. At which time you'll have to choose between upgrading or dealing with old buggie software. Switching to another vendor won't be an option since it will be much more expensive than the upgrade. They have you.

There are just too many unknowns to say that just because it works in one model it will be a quick change for another model. It sounds like the mods are for very specialized software so most likely you have no choice but to work it out with them.

Look for alternatives but I dought there are any. They probably understand their competitors enough that they know that saying no to you is a safe bet. Your job now is to lay down some options for your boss and let him choose. It's very important that you don't hide anything from him. He needs to know and understand everything. It's just life. We can't always get 100% of what we want.
Yeah it's super hard to find the right abstraction between UI and code! Lots of feedback sessions and iteration to get where I am and still very far from where I want it to be. Glad you're liking it!
Hardware memory protection only came into being with, IIRC the 68030 - Edit: though available as separate coprocessor 68851 chip for 020. Early Windows was no different, limited memory protection first came with the 286, wasn't it? BSOD just as often, instead of Guru meditation - at least a guru let you into a remote debugger. :)

Without that it wasn't hard or unexpected for an unstable app to take down the system. Used to happen reasonably frequently on 68000 Unix systems. Certainly for every time that happened you might expect a couple of caught core dumps, but before hardware protection it was still wing and a prayer...
I’ve usually seen the phrase attributed to Louis Brandeis in a 1914 book. He wrote of disclosure-based securities regulation: “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.”

No I didn't; I said everything and I meant everything. If anything, 90 days is overly generous to Google. If they can't get their shit together in three bloody months, fuck them. Of course, this is Google, so fuck them regardless, but this way you have obvious moral high ground.
I'd be interested to see what percentage of government bonds are owned by pension funds and other middle class type retirement funds vs how much is held by the wealthy.
I've been looking to replace Google Docs with a self-hosted option, and my choices are essentially LibreOffice and ONLYOFFICE, which both offer in-browser versions. ONLYOFFICE is much more limited, but it's much more user friendly, so I'm definitely leaning that direction. I like the LO project a lot more, but they really need a UX expert to help me make it more approachable.

I'll play with the new LO before making the final decision, but I certainly agree that it has been a pain for some time.
It does help your clients.

I mean, maybe not yours specifically. But snippets are great for users in the typical case.
> 2. An intermediate mass black hole formed directly from the direct collapse of a large gas cloud and then grew into a SMBH.

Based on my limited understanding of cosmology, wouldn't the gas first form a star, and not form a SMBH until the star's nuclear reaction became too weak?
The FAA has a video on the subject:

https://youtu.be/vS6KA_Si-m8?t=185

I suspect the rationale is that any potential for exposing new parts of the battery chemistry to water are dwarfed by the effectiveness of stopping the thermal runaway, and battery chemistry that's already reacted can't react again.

I recall seeing reports about Chandra seeing X-ray echoes from gas clouds near Sgr. A[star]. Maybe hundreds of years ago, and 10^6 times brighter.

Do we have other data like that? How far back does our record of Sgr. A[star]'s light curve extend?

Also, I gather that Sgr. A[star]'s rotational axis isn't normal to the mean galactic plane. And I presume that the axis precesses. Does it ever point near enough to the Sun to cause damage?

I love how google likes to completely ignore what I'm trying to search for. I wish I could think of an example because it happens to me often, but I can't so I'll make one up.

Imagine you're searching for tail lights for your car or something, but you don't know the size, so you search "Astra tail light size". This might bring up headlights. Wrong but no matter, you'd go on to google "Astra tail light size -headlight -head" or something.

What Google seems to have been doing to me recently is ignoring those negated terms, ignoring quotes, and just giving me the same results again and again. It's really getting annoying. Google seems to assume it knows what I'm looking for, and that my search query is just completely wrong and not what I want.

Note that the car stuff is just an example, I'd expect Google to not give you headlights the second time. It generally but not exclusively happens to me when searching things that are more technical. ESPECIALLY when it's a consumer level thing I'm trying to get info on, Google likes to assume it's giving you errors and you're trying to fix it. Which makes sense for most users, but god it's frustrating when every combination of advanced search parameters you try does nothing!

Google search needs a checkbox or something to turn off it's cleverness and just do an actual search.

Sun actually approached Commodore about using Amiga technology for 680x0 workstations, while they were focusing on SPARC, but Mehdi Ali told them to go away.

He also was nasty toward (IIRC) Epson during final negotiations for a large deal for the Japanese market. Later, the deal was revived and he insulted them a second time.

Well so this kind of seems like a copout to me. I work for a big company that pays really well (on all fronts) and I have worked in startups that tried following the E vs C calculus. I am also part of the HC at said big companies so I see a lot of factors in hiring and I regularly "hobby" interview at a lot of companies to see what is out there.

Problem is the "big company" stuff you are mentioning is no longer limited to big companies. I see the unicorns of the world trying to act like big companies from mimicking org structures to leetcode puzzles in interviews to downlevelling (our Level N is Level N + k at BigCo X). All this while asking candidates to slog it out for 10+ years before their quantum money is worth something tangible. Equally BigCos for what they are worth are extremely alluring by ensuring one does not live perpetually on ramen and BigCos also do a lot of things so you can move around reasonably (sure not as fluidly). Additionally given BigCos (at least the one I am in) value diversity and collaboration a lot the "bigco"ness is getting more and more of a strawman argument!

What would be ideal for me is startups of say 5-10 folks with roughly similar skill levels (and hence equity) with a really decent shot at a successful exit in a 2-4 year time frame. Where do you find these that are happy with such an exit instead of trying to become a unicorn and not stop until they take over the world by any means necessary?
You're arguing against things I didn't say and don't believe.

> More specifically, the event happened 26,000 years ago in our reference frame.

Isn't this wrong? Surely we would say that, in our reference frame, the event happened precisely when we observed it happening. That's what "frame of reference" means: it's whose clock we use to say when an event occurred.
New York Tries to Bring the Subway Fare into the 21st Century
It really depends on what hotel you are staying at, whether on or off property. On property you could pay anywhere from $3000 to $5000 would be my guess off the top of my head. Paradise Pier is lowest price, Grand Californian is highest. Really depends on when exactly you are going too. I've seen prices like $1200/night at Grand Californian during Christmas time.

Disneyland's website has an excellent tool to calculate full price (even including flights). I'd recommend checking that out or calling them for a more personal touch. You can book everything online (tickets, hotels, transport from the airport to the resort, dining and more).

It'a not a decision made by US airports, the US requires every person who lands on US soil to clear US customs even if that person's final destination is outside the US (ie. the US doesn't allow sterile transit).
Could you elaborate on this a bit more? How could one gain anything from buying negative yielding bond?
I would argue that the reason is simply that physically holding cash has a negative interest rate since you have to pay for a place to keep it, people to protect it, and accept the risk that it gets damaged, lost, or stolen.

This applies whether you are a person with a wallet/mattress, or a bank with a high security vault.
It took me a long time to get past my feelings of loss when we saw the future slip away.

Are you referring to Commodore or Sun here? Because both had excellent technology that died at the hands of terrible management.

> Requiring the subway to run at an operating profit (London) is a more politically conservative model than treating it as a public service that is heavily-subsidized to keep ticket prices low (New York).

Agreed, but raising ticket prices to ensure that a transit system runs a profit requires that the alternatives (driving, taxi, uber) are sufficiently expensive by pricing in their externalities.

It also requires that your average transit rider have enough income, and that the transit system be clean and comprehensive, which requires investment.

You can't build a great transit system by starving it of revenue.

"I've listed quite a bit of things I would consider to be strong evidence in favor of Examine"

Charitably, maybe you've done so somewhere else on the internet. Taking a second to look at every post by you on this thread, however, the only thing you've listed are other sites that come up higher on searches. All of your posts have been demanding that other people prove wrong your flat assertions that Examine is awesome.

And I'm not feeling charitable at this point. I don't believe you're communicating in good faith. That you can dig up other woo-pushers on reddit (of course there's a nootropics subreddit...) doesn't impress me one bit. You said you were dropping it before, but I'm telling you I'm done with you now.

I haven’t used their desktop edition but on the web it worked really well for cleaning up images. I imagine similar algorithms could be applied directly to SVGs to simplify them.

That makes no sense. Rich people are precisely those people who are most able to take risks ("put [their] money to work.") Nobody has millions sitting around in bank accounts earning the risk free rate when they can afford to take risk and earn more on average.

Thanks. I wasn't interested for my own family, just curious about what people typically pay for the experience these days.

FWIW I went to Disneyland and Universal Studios in 1980 with my family, and it really was a special experience - still remember the trip 40 years later.
Why have they not made the actual video they discuss with a baby's body in a diaper with Arnie's head on it. That would be classic.
I bought an Amiga and spent far too much on accessories.

Pros for Amiga

- the obvious

Cons

- hideous and slow ui
- slow floppy
- lack of cheap C compiler
- complexity

The last, complexity, is the cause of the success and rapid demise.

Soonish after the Amiga was released, there were IBM compatibles with a huge community of hardware (graphics cards, hard disks), software (unix and unix-likes, gcc).

The main reason I bought an Amiga was for it's multitasking capabilities. However I could see that it's custom hardware would make the desired transition to an m68k process with MMU a big problem.

I honestly can't see much change in the face throughout the video.

It probably doesn't help that I am so horrible at celebrities that I couldn't picture Tom Cruise or Bill Hader in my head if I tried, nor do I know what they're famous for. I just know that Tom Cruise sounds familiar and everyone seems to act like Bill Hader is significant so I go along with it.

I guess there's a some change in the face when he switches "voices". It's not nearly as exciting as the one of Obama saying stuff he's never said before though.
He's pretty popular. I've seen him mentioned in various other SEC court documents
Yes, except our clock says it happened 26 ky ago. OP mentioned how it would look in other frames.

Not so sure yet. I doubt Beijing will try at this time. Moreover I feel it's good for China to force it to rely on internal consumption instead of exports at a faster pace. The problem is changing the mindset will take long, so not yet sure how will it work. One friend moving a production to Vietnam faced a lot of challenges, costs escalated and it cannot fulfill the demands yet. It will take 10 or more years for Vietnam to reach China's skilled workforce capabilities for production.

Also move to Vietnam is happening since 2008, like Samsung and Lotte moved there due to shrinking market in China and missile shield row between China and USA.

Moving productom to Taiwan and South Korea will increase the costs with more upfront capital expenditure and still they won't be able to fulfill the demands. At present there is a attacks on global trade which will impact everyone. You can see the signs already with conflict between Japan and South Korea. Germany, Singapore facing technical recession and USA went back to loose monetary policy and reduced interest rate.
Great! Thanks :)

I'm using styled components too. But the idea is to have nothing unnecessary forced on you like an UI library, email subscription and so on
No, in our reference frame it took 26,000 years for the light to travel to us so that we could see it. We measure that the event occurred 26,000 light years away so we calculate that it occurred 26,000 years ago. There are other reference frames where it also happened 26,000 years ago but that are much closer and saw it occur earlier. There are also reference frames where it happened 26,000 years ago but they haven't observed it yet because they are much further away. And as OP mentioned, there are reference frames where it occurred 5 million years ago yet it still hasn't even been observed.
For example (directly from govt travel websites):

NZ - "Exercise increased caution in the United States due to the threat of terrorism." ..."There is a heightened threat of terrorism in the United States and terrorists remain likely to try to carry out attacks. A number of politically motivated attacks have occurred in recent years, causing multiple deaths and injuries."

Australia - "The United States has more violent crime than Australia, although it rarely involves tourists. Shootings, including mass shootings, can occur in public places"

UK - "Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in the USA. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreigners. You should monitor media reports and remain vigilant at all times."

Here's a more general survey of such travel warnings

The Amiga Unix licensing failure was an impressively well aimed shot to the foot.

Medhi Ali was responsible for gutting Commodore engineering and replacing with mostly cheaper PC people. Which led to the cost-cutting A600 that actually turned out more expensive to produce than the 500 it was supposed to replace. Dave Haynie had a lot to say about that era, all of it free of compliments.

Ali and Gould were drawing more than the CEO of IBM in Commodore's declining years.
It's essentially the same for me honestly. I hate subscription software and only put up with subscription content sometimes (i.e. Netflix, newspaper). I'm okay with buying software every few years, I'm not a fan of buying software every month.

My wife has Office, so I'm going to self-host LibreOffice Online or ONLYOFFICE (whichever she prefers) instead of buying a subscription to Office 365. I hate paying a subscription for software, so I'll just make occasional donations to LO or something instead (unfortunately the pricing for both services seem to be aimed at corporations, not home users).
It's extremely difficult to tease out the ecological impact of the economy because the Earth itself has powerful climate dynamics we don't fully understand.

As a software engineer working in finance, I tend to find myself very risk averse, because, well, there's a ton of money on the line if you fuck up.

At a previous job, I was on call 24/7 (we traded all of about 2 hours on Saturdays).

I was once out on a date on a Friday night around 9PM local (US), and I got a call from the UK on the work phone. Turns out, we were missing about $1.5 billion. Yes, billion. The call went something along the lines of: "We're missing a billion dollars. You need to find out where it went. NOW."
It depends. One of the criteria for acceptable "fair use" is that the usage shouldn't negatively affect demand for the original source.

Although there are other criteria to consider, Google's snippets clearly violate that particular tenet.

The main function of the JSF is situational awareness. The F22 doesn't even have a functional data link yet. JSF has all of it built in from the beginning. Everything you add to an airframe costs millions of dollars, and there's no point in doing it.

STOVL is an important part of the JSF program. The F22 isn't capable of doing STOVL or carrier operations, you don't refit a non-CVN capable aircraft for carrier operations.
