Wouldn't it be more efficient and better for the carbon footprint if every human being just killed themselves?

Personally, that sounds like a better option than living in a city.
It might be better using other advertising channels if your competitors are pissing away VC money drastically raising bids and making it virtually impossible for any "proper" business to do well in digital advertising utilizing the same channels.

You can notice this even within sub-segments of Google Ads and Facebook Ads where there is a propensity for advertisers to just throw millions at the channel without expecting to be profitable right away (or ever).

But the good news is that if some channels are over-saturated with "free money", then chances are there are other channels are that undersaturated.
well, for sure the owner would have town's monopoly in the bar business.
It's also hard to pry apart what "pays for itself" and what doesn't. Quebec doesn't just have incredibly high taxes, they are subsidized by the rest of the productive provinces in the country to the tune of about 10% of their yearly budget. A 10% cut in spending would be classified as incredibly harsh austerity in most cases, and so taking any sort of predictive value from the success of programs run by Quebec is very hard. It should also be noted that for all of these efforts to give incredibly generous benefits to Quebec parents, their birthrate is still among the lowest in Canada and buoyed up only by immigration. So it isn't even really helping people have more children.

You can quite literally sue anyone for anything. But lawsuits aren't free, and the law isn't on the claimants side here, so they'd lose.

So, sure, sue away it is just even more money lost and likely still no scooter or refund to show for it.

We never had a solid state machine and only had single tape machines. I think at the low end they were quite common through the 90s, unless we had one that lasted a long time and also had the 90's styling in the 80s, which could be the case.
Oscar and Big Bird are two of the most opposite characters I can imagine. When I was a kid (70's and 80's) I had no idea it was the same person.

I heard and old interview where he said he couldn't see out of big bird and had a little tv attached to his chest so he could see out. He could remove feathers too, but the bird didn't look so good. (its in the article too). This is where miniturization would be a huge help...

When Mr. Hooper died and they tell a confused Big Bird, he's not coming back is one of the saddest moments in TV.
What does exponential look like then?
I feel like the concept of an MVP is often abused. It shouldn't be a thing that somehow works with bubblegum and luck; it should still be "solid". The point ought to be to leave out features, not quality.
Because as I pointed out it is already implied and serves no other purpose just antagonize and rub it into someone's face.

As a matter of fact it is not even clear that I am better off, I may just think I am, mistakenly. So why reiterate.

Finally, the traits that keep me from having a dog are not necessarily virtues, most likely not traits that make a better person.

With the lack of quality care (per the article), what trajectory are they on with the mandated increases to minimum wage and limitied access to immigrant labor?

It sounds like they're going to need to offer to make children wards of the state from birth to college graduation, just so both parents can work 60 hour weeks to save for retirement and pay the increased tax burden, while maintaining inflated insurance, housing and utility rates..

I personally don't see many wins there if you're still going by the 20th century playbook. Monetary cannabalism appears to be in full swing.

A misguided marketing strategy isn't fraud. That doesn't sound like deceiving people for personal gain by itself.

Unless the whole plan was to sell preorders and feigning failure in order to take the funds. But that's a serious claim and it could be grounds for an investigation if law enforcement was pressured. But it would take more than complaining about FB ads.

One of the reasons it is still AD is that the management of users and computers is simplified. You have several layers of admin access etc.

Yeah, I don't understand the craze with all the kickstarters.

I've backed a few here and there. Two of them I knew the principals for a while before the kickstarter began.

And I supported them at a level I considered a donation, so that if I never received anything, that's OK.

Another I backed (ReSpeaker from Seeed Studios) I did because we were interested in it for a project at work, and it was convenient for me personally to back it. And they did (eventually) deliver, which I had a reasonable assurance of because I'd bought from Seeed before.

If you want to back a game or something at a reasonable level (like $40), that's fine.

I did almost back Tilt-5, but ended up not doing so, not because of any concerns about the company, but concerns about my time that I'd have to mess around with it when I got it.
As I've linked to in previous replies, all the studies[1] I've seen are meta-analyses that compare kids in Quebec to kids in other provinces. I don't see anything that accounts (nor could they, really) for the huge variety of factors that can differ among children in the same age group across vastly different provinces. Quebec is markedly different from the rest of the country and North America in more ways than our socialized universal daycare programme.

Moreover, they are comparing kids that are in daycare vs. kids that are raised solely by one or more of their parents; the fact that the daycare is "universal" or subsidized doesn't have anything to do with it. Moreover, the studies show that the kids are effectively more impulsive and more prone to risk-taking, and have found zero correlation with their cognitive abilities.

The majority of my office is BL2 Lab space, people who bring their kids in are being incredibly irresponsible. The other aspect is a lot of people who would benefit from workplace daycare don't work in white-collar office spaces. Finally segregating people who don't enjoy distractions at work seems very rude, I like kids but I am overly cautious around them, if someone brought their kid into work I'd be more focused on the kid not killing him/herself than my job.

Asking price seems rather high. I'm sure you could find an abandoned building in Montana and turn it into a bar for far less than $225k.
Like I said, I LOVE being a dad and wouldn't change it for the world. The overall reward, of having the bond I have with my kids, sharing with them this world I love so much, is absolutely worth it, and is my purpose in life.

That doesn't change the fact that the day to day is hard. Getting my toddler to eat anything healthy is hard. Getting her to sleep is hard. Cleaning up messes they make is hard. Getting them ready when they don't want to go is hard.

Just because something is really hard doesn't mean it isn't worth doing. Raising kids is way up there on both measures; really hard and really worth it. However, the day to day is relentless, and the rewards are not felt with the same relentlessness that the work comes at you. I don't feel rewarded during the moment that I am cleaning my sick kids vomit, but I have to do it anyway.

Japan is a lot more conservative of a society compared to North America and Europe. I've known University-educated women in Japan suddenly halt their careers to entirely cook and clean for a household. I don't think that's a totally un-apt comparison.
Quadratic, not exponential! :)
These are not the people of the lowest class though. The privilege of earning more is given by others, so you should learn how to behave and move the society towards a better future since that future is where your wealth is going to be preserved better.
There are two types of organization-wide leadership communications: 1) New projects/deliverables 2)Organization updates.

Both communications should happen frequently and consistently, but not spam-level and delivery-expediency should correlate with the importance of the content. (IE: don't wait 3 months to say you're upset the company has lost 40% of its users) Saying "No significant changes. Thanks for the hard work." should also happen.

"No significant change" updates are also an opportunity for leadership to be transparent about metrics and say "we gained X users, or lost X% revenue" and follow it up with a simple statement such as "Happy to see growth." or "We'll bounce back next month." It keeps everyone in the loop and emotions level.
Why couldn't it be (2^2)^9 = 4^9 = 262144 ?
Anecdotally, the margins can be fairly large. I am aware of one daycare in the NYC metropolitan area with around 100 students that PROFITS nearly $9000/yr/student.

Their teacher pay scale also tops out at $15/hr, but each teacher represents around a $8000/month revenue stream.

The daycare’s rent is about $40,000 a month.
Exactly. Netgate has long said that they won't touch it until it's production-ready; they keep pointing to the warning messages in WireGuard saying that it's beta and when the time is right, they'll consider it.

I'm happy they're being cautious. The inclusion in the Linux kernel is perhaps (to Netgate) a sign that things are headed in the right direction.

As far as FreeBSD, all that exists today is a userspace package (AFAIK). Again, I'm hoping someone sees this as a step forward and will start working on the FreeBSD port.

I'm glad to see progress and hoping for more of it!
On 11/13 they promised to be preparing to start deliveries on 12/15.

If at this point they had not made an effort to reach this goal (placing an order with the manufacturer for example), that is a misrepresentation of fact.

Fraud doesn’t imply malice. They could have jumped the gun on announcing they were preparing to deliver, but doing so would still constitute fraud, especially if this drove an increase in orders.

Raising children is not unlike writing code. It's cool to design the architecture, gin up efficient algorithms, etc. But 90% of your time is spent yak shaving, debugging, responding to mundane feature requests, etc.

I’ve had that happen when I was an auto mechanic. Car comes in with symptoms of leaking valves/seals/guides. “We can put a new head on it, but now that the top end is nice and tight, it very well might blow the old, weak-ass piston rings. Recommend a rebuilt.” Put a new head on it, sho’ enough, car comes back two weeks later blowing smoke from the rings.

The $300 part fixes your problem today, the rebuilt engine fixes the reliability problem you might still have after the $300 quick-fix.

Citizenship Amendment Bill: India's new 'anti-Muslim' law causes uproar
I got the honor to file a bug against Together's design tool. We had a project that was a monorepo with a few dozen distinct compilation units in it and some had complained that the more modules you added to the project the longer it would take to open. One person was up to half an hour and didn't even have the whole thing.

I had a slow week babysitting something else so I just let it chew away in the background, while doing other things like documentation and requirements work, noting down the time, adding one more module and running it again. The last one I was willing to do took 18 hours to load. It was still running when I got back to the office the following day.

To this day, I can't recall ever seeing any production performance bug with greater than n cubed complexity. This bug progressed at n to the fifth. Truly, a thing of singular beauty.

Thankfully they had a workaround that dropped it to something like n^2 (30 minutes became less than 5) and a bug fix not too long after.
History doesn't pay the bills when you're in the middle of nowhere. Also, I'm sure all the other abandoned buildings around here have stories.
Flash bulletin from the engine room: you're still relying on "these guys" (and gals), you're just cost-sharing our salaries across whatever pile-o-garbage SaaS you convinced your architect to engage, including my own large cloud provider. Hint: it'd be more effective (and cheaper) to employ us directly, but you do you.

That said, at the end of the day, I'm still sitting in my Aeron and your "great time" just means concentrating an entire discipline of professionals into cloud companies and ISPs. In this dream scenario (for who?), you get to sit around waiting for ticket updates while your revenue craters instead of picking up the phone or using that hole on your face to communicate with a peer. I get to focus on systems at scale and on monitoring and metrics instead of an annoying developer who escalates to their SVP and makes an inter-org ruckus when their TLS certificate expires and they can't find the error in their voluminous Javascript "logs". To be clear: I'm having a great time. There's a suspicious TAM in between me and you now, and you don't have my extension. I prayed for this day across many developer escalations and still can't believe it's here.

I'm totally ignorant in all of that, but for me it just looks like out of sudden (historically) we have way too many males. They used to be killed during hunting, wars, competition with other males. Since 1945 we haven't had that. Men became not as hot commodity. This is the motor of the current social changes, isn't it?

For example: only 40% of all Homo Sapiens Sapiens males that have ever lived were able to have offspring. Compared to 80% females.
I've been taught waterfall a couple of years ago. We were supposed to do our project using waterfall (but at least with weekly meetings with the "customers").

My suggestion of building a first test version to, amongst other things, at least get our feets wet with the programming language (which most of us had hardly any experience with), then throw it completely away and restart "from scratch" (but with a better idea as of what we were supposed to do) was rejected.
What I meant this level of funding is not adequate for the company's operation, regardless of the planned ad spending.

Yes they shouldn't spend on ads, like not at all. They should instead focus on raising more money to be serious.

>Cyberpunk doesn’t feel so novel anymore because we’re quite literally living in a Cyberpunk dystopia.

Not really. Our AI is speciously intelligent, our computers are woodenly interactive, our governments are unimaginatively democratic, and our corporations are predictably mercantile. There is a general feeling of living in a pre-cyberpunk present but little of that world has materialized and I feel, like notions of a coming atomic age, it will continue to languish unfulfilled until replaced by another fashionable future.
Hypothetically, I think I'd rather not hire you in the first place.

On one hand, I want to treat you as a person with autonomy and empower you to bring your special qualities and skills every day.

On the other hand, I need people who can be managed effectively and know how to be part of a team - that means rolling your eyes quietly during the 'c-suite bullcrap', but also being able to take from it whatever is needed to provide direction in which to get running.

Instead, I'm sensing a 'rock management' vibe from you: you know what rock you don't like if I present it to you, but you can't define what rock you do like - and I don't need the overhead that comes with trying to help you work that out.

Bottom Line: leadership is a two way street. It takes hard work and authenticity on behalf of leaders. It also takes a level of faith, openness and understanding on behalf of the team. If either party doesn't show up, things get much, much harder.
No, it’s really not.
