Why - they work fine, they dont change, they dont add a burden to the existing product?

Taking something that works out of your product doesnt ever make people happy, and its never "the perfect use case" to remove features that work.

Its a "well that's ok that we wont take this on anymore and let those users manage their own problem" use case.
For some reason I cannot reply to your other comment, so I'll use this one. I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. I know what Palantir does, because some of what they HAVE built has leaked into the public. Here's a user manual https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/neapqg/300-californian-ci....

This is just one example among many many examples of them developing software specifically for tracking people. Whether they use their generic data model and build atop it or not, they are knowingly building surveillance software and it is being misused. They know. We know. I don't think it's right. You do. We can disagree.
If you want to continue to be disingenuous and try to play off Palantir as a run of the mill big data company that is fine, but their business model is implementing and assissting with mass surveillance and I don't know a single individual in the field that is aware of Palantir that considers them "just a consulting company" or interchangeable with tableau or something similar as you seem to be arguing

I think it's because they are buying space that otherwise would be empty, and maintain an elastic buffer of packages to fill those spaces as they become available - the outgoing mail containers on planes are likely booked and paid for months in advance so the people paying for them will happily take 20% of their normal rate to fill the rest of them at the last minute

My climate change plan is simple: a ratcheting carbon fee with dividend[1], together with a carbon tariff as part of a climate club[2]

The industries where it's easy will take the easy way to avoid the carbon fee.

The industries where it's hard will pay the fee but will see the ratchet coming and will be furiously researching alternatives. Worse come to worse, at some point the fee will be more than sequestration costs so they'll take that option.

I don't have to talk about any specific industry like steel because there is always sequestration as a backstop.

edit: of course my plan only works because there are lots of people like the companies Bill Gates linked to working on the details.

In the end the remaining profit is declared and taxed in the US, right? I agree many countries would like a bigger share, but it does not seem obvious why France or Germany deserve a bigger share, when the product is developed elsewhere.

Historically product development is where the value is created (so mostly US). With digital services, the EU feels like it's missing out on tax revenue and to that purpose argues that the consumer creates value instead.

Hi Everyone my name is Rebecca Single mother of 2 Studying Business Administration, University of Kansas I'd love to testify What GREG did in my life, I never knew hackers could improve a low credit score until I met one on a discussion forum when I googled how to improve my credit score, I read several reviews on how capable he is in solving issues that has to do with credit reports. I emailed him and asked if he will have the ability to raise credit score (all 3 major credit bureaus) and also delete evictions. He replied yes and asked me for some personal info to enable them navigate through my profile remotely. I gave everything he needed to get started with the job. He eventually made some pretty amazing changes in my credit profile. This is my own way of showing appreciation and we are forever indebted to GREG. I have made GREG my personal hacker. You can reach them via GREGREPAIR@TECHIE.COM or text: +1 (424) 800-3201. Tell GREG Rebecca referred you, smiles.

Personal feelings are not how we evaluate a scientific discipline. It's phrenology level nonsense.

A coworker once told me that his chiropractor told him he could help him with hemroids. This not only made me dubious about her ability to cure hemroids. It made me dubious that she could do anything about back pain. Capable people don't spew nonsense within the scope of their capabilities.

The second his analyst registered an opinion about the personality of the writer I became dubious that she could even tell who wrote it.
This comment has nothing to do with the financials of this particular IPO and everything to do with a perceived correlation between this event and some arbitrary macroeconomic event.

> How often do you need a whole collection of string manipulation functions? Never!

Not initially, but as your code grows, you start to call out to more and more of those string manipulation functions... and if each of them is its own separate package, you get an inconsistent mess at the interface level - just like PHP used to be, except PHP didn't consist of individually downloadable functions with much more metadata than actual code.

General best practice is to add fuzzing to your scheduled task. So for example wrap it in a shell script that starts with `RANDSLEEP=$((RANDOM + 100)); sleep ${RANDSLEEP:1:2}`. Then it will sleep between 0 and 99 seconds. Or do 1:1 if you run the task every minute so fuzz the start by 0 to 9 seconds.
I wonder if this could be a nontrivial, alternate explanation for the erosion of materials in turbulent flows (ship propellers are a great example).

B) An estimate of the total number of calories of meat consumed.

Yes. I have changed, I care about other things now and I give much less importance to the things I care about.

When I was younger I was very passionate about some topics and ideas, to the point that I could get angry when arguing with someone. Now I rarely get angry, much less about an opinion or an abstract idea.

Given that whole industries are based on copyright, I rather think the onus is on you to make the case that getting rid of it wouldn't be ruinous.

Maybe the question we ought to be asking, then, is, "Why are our youth not motivated to study?" This seems to be true across all background, excepting one: first-generation Americans. I was certainly motivated to study, even things I didn't like. I knew it was my path to a better life. The "second-generation problem" is well-documented [0], and so the obvious question is: what can we do to inculcate that same motivation in our youth? To make them self-directed? On that, I am not sure.

For the Linux kernel, there is an excellent book called "Linux Core Kernel Commentary" (which is based off the SVR4 Lion's Commentary book), which has the source of the kernel (an old version) printed out and then a commentary on all the bits (code and data structures). It was an eye opener for me.

As for OS theory, "Operating Systems Vade Macum" and "Operating Systems Design and Implementation" are my favorites.

I used Nextcloud for more than one year, but in the end I found it too bloated for my usage and I kept having problems with some outstanding bugs in it.

I finally moved to Syncthing one year ago and never had to configure anything else. I have it running in a docker container that gets automatically updated and needed zero configuration since then. It's also much faster at syncronizing files than Nextcloud was, and doesn't need a central repository.

If you don't need Nextcloud fancy features and just want a Dropbox self hosted alternative, Syncthing should be the way to go.

Depending on the destination, if you have a “______town” for that ethnicity (or a nearby one that they’re not at war with), they’ll have some shops that can do far cheaper rates by consolidating.

Since your first comment didn't get downvoted, it's likely because you're repeating the same comment multiple times. Repetition lowers signal/noise ratio, so please don't.

It may also be because your comments contain grand claims and high indignation without much information. That doesn't mean you're wrong, of course, but given that everyone's priors here are formed by past internet discussion, it does increase the likelihood, and comments that fit that description tend to get downvoted.

> they dont add a burden to the existing product?

I assume you work in tech, maybe even as a developer. So you know full well that every single unused line of code, let alone an entire feature, adds a maintenance, security, documentation and testing burden.

> and its never "the perfect use case" to remove features that work.

It absolutely is, if it makes those features better and gives them a focused place to develop outside of the core browser.

My anecdata points to it being great for the project/performative aspects of the sport but as a tool for consistent progression/improvement, I am less confident in stating anything.
