Yes and no. It only works for honest companies that comply with the spirit of the law, not just the text (the text has some failures). I worked for years building direct marketing software and we complied with the law best we could, and we never called DNC numbers intentionally against the spirit of the law cause it didn't make money for us (not true of others). But I can't say we never called DNC numbers cause it happens when there are gaps in file loading, or someone at a business mis-keys a phone number so we would reclassify it as active etc.

Essentially (at the time, might have changed but I doubt it) a business is to register with the government, download the DNC list on a periodic basis and process their list against it. But there is a tiered set of rules. For example, if you are on the National DNC, but you had a recent transaction with a store, that store has a period of time which they can contact you regardless of the National DNC unless you opt out of their store specific list on the first call. After the defined period if you don't do any more business during that time they are to respect the National DNC again. Just an example.

Sadly, a lot of companies just don't comply because they are not based in the US and cannot be touched by the US government. I've heard speculation (never seen actual proof), some of these companies use/have used the National DNC as a marketing list essentially. The list is not hashed, not encrypted, just a plain text file with numbers (at least it used to be). So it is easy to harvest for nefarious purposes.
Americans are such colossal idiots. I can say it because I’m an American. They think, god what kind of evil and stupid person would EVER send their kid to private high school? It’s stuck-up, snobby, and the education at the free public school is just as good! Oh but in college my children must have nothing but the best and make connections with lots of important people and if it costs us hundreds of thousands of dollars then it’s worth every penny and anyone who doubts that is a fool. The disaster that our colleges are in is caused by this fear of missing out, the mental disease of the common idiot. If I had kids it would be the best private schools and tutoring up until college and I wouldn’t pay a penny for college unless it was a physics major. If you truly educate your kids from 0 to 18 then they really don’t need college.
Why did scientists suppress the lab-leak theory?
This is incorrect. The Mozilla Foundation (the non-profit) owns the Mozilla Corporation, which is for-profit and does Firefox development. The Corporation is the one that gets money from Google, and sends millions of dollars per year to the Foundation.
Just for the record cars are not "manufactured globally" cars are manufactured on specific countries which then have long logistics of acquisition, not all countries make cars and the ones that do can very certainly be pushed through legislation to make "smaller cars", as this problem is specifically poignant on the United States changing united states legislation would have a large footprint by itself in the same manner that air quality standards of California have nearly become international standards for all vehicles

That said there is no political will for this to happen, therefore it won't, which is sad given that is a good idea
Because it had to be done:

let robot = function () {
const ballAngle = loopTapApp.getBallAngle();
const arc = loopTapApp.arc;
if (ballAngle + 6 > arc[0] && ballAngle - 6 < arc[1]) {
window.dispatchEvent(new Event('mousedown'));
}
}

var timer = setInterval(robot, 10);
Interesting, was wondering why it was doing that recently. Seems when I try to use some extensions it triggers for me
You start with an initial table schema definition in a file, the base schema. The next batch of altering sql statements are put in a file with an explicit version in the file name. The version in the file name can just be the current date. The next batch of changes are put in another file with its own version name in the file name. And so on. These are called delta files. All the delta files are checked into the source repository.

To recreate the database upto the current schema, just check out the list of schema delta files. Play them back one by one in the order of the version in the file names.

Track any prepopulating table data the same way.

Edit: having a table called schema_version to track the current applied schema version of the database is very helpful. Then you can upgrade the db schema from any version rather than from the base schema by checking the schema_version table before applying the versioned schema delta files. Be sure to put an insert statement to the end of every versioned schema script file adding a row containing the version of the file to the schema_version table.

Sure, but they go through an undergrad in English or something similar before they are a PhD, for which they take the loan, then they don't earn any money (just enough to subsist) while the interest on their undergrad loan accrues. Or the interest may be deferred but the loan is still there.
That first assertion should be pretty easy to back up, assuming you did the implied work of following all those citations, identifying the religious beliefs (?) and motivations (???) of each author.

The fact that you think the second argument is a strong one alone indicates that you aren't particularly informed about the practice of history. A lot of things are well-established historical fact (to the extent anything can be!) despite not having any contemporaneous records of them. Even entire historical figures.

Untangling those webs of knowledge, influence, bias, motivation, and uncertainty to determine which things are likely true within them pretty is the work historians do. Even with less contested individuals for whom we do have contemporary accounts, we don't just accept those accounts as facts.
> I'd like to believe even at FAANGs these mad salaries aren't common.

My impression -- as someone who is neither an engineer (anymore) or at a FAANG, but is making above the apparent market rate for technical writers in Silicon Valley at a company that needs to compete with FAANGs for talent and chooses to do so by offering high base pay and bonuses rather than stock options -- is that at this moment in time, these mad salaries are common in both FAANG and competing-with-FAANG companies, but only in specific fields and specific locales.

Personally, I'm not convinced this is sustainable any more than the SF Bay Area housing market is sustainable. If the shift to fully remote or "hybrid remote" workforces is truly underway, it's probably just a matter of time before that starts pushing down income levels. If you cut your cost of living in half by moving from Mountain View to Boise, employers will start factoring that into your compensation -- many already do.

In the long run, of course, that would lead to a slow creep toward equalization of cost of living across the country; there are already anecdotal (but loud!) reports of housing costs increasing substantially in surprising places as people leave the west coast and the northeast and move inland. Eventually that should make COL adjustments smaller or less common, but it will likely also make "I'm making $350K right out of college" less common. (Or whatever $350K is adjusted for inflation in a decade.)

> This is because sub-par VR technology (e.g. the Quest 2) is simply not good enough for someone wanting to work several hours per day in a VR Computer instead of their laptop -- even if most people don't realize this yet.

Do you mean that the Quest 2 is good enough to do, say, programming work on for several hours a day, or just that it's a decently good gaming headset?

The last VR headset I tried was the Oculus Rift, and that was nowhere near being usable for work. I'm really curious about the SimulaVR, but it's a bit outside my price range. So if you use the Quest 2 for work, I'd love to hear about your experience with it -- what software do you use, is the resolution good enough for working with text for hours at a time, etc.
hell yeah, you will see sequences that boil down to "Jackie found this weird prop and spent two days figuring out interesting ways to use it to beat the shit out of people" and they will be amazing.
"What will the European free web look like if it cannot be monetized anymore?" Given that, subjectively at least, most sites that I end up on which are "monetized" through ads are valueless content farms, I see the eventual banning of Gooogle AdSense within Europe(and taboola, out brain and all the others) as a wholly good thing!

More seriously, very little of what Google Analytics does is particularly novel or hard to replicate via another service, it's just used by default everywhere because that's what devs are familiar with. Ripping it out and replacing it with another product that gives you almost all the same functionality but which doesn't put you in breach of law is probably not that difficult most of the time. Doing that AND moving off AWS AND every other USA owned service where you store customer data.. now that's a different story
I know some pretty good biotech start ups spun out from Texas Tech - I wouldn’t dismiss it out of hand
Put what you did with a price attached. On a separate line put a discount for that much money (with reason for discount if you want). So instead of "what you did for free" it's quantified $X discount.
You beat me to it, haha, This is what I just did:

rectB.right <= rectA.left ||
rectB.top >= rectA.bottom ||
rectB.bottom <= rectA.top
);
}

const arc = document.getElementById("arc");
const ball = document.getElementById("ball");

setInterval(() => {
if (intersectRect(arc.getBoundingClientRect(), ball.getBoundingClientRect())) {
window.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keypress', {
keyCode: 32,

}
}, 10);

You hit on a key point. Lender sees non-dischargeable loans as FREE MONEY.

They're pushing these onto kids who are barely adults because its FREE MONEY to them.
In the U.S. it's illegal to ask an applicant's age, so you've got potential legal recourse against both of the companies in your examples.
I have two kids, not three, but we have never had a car, always taken the kids everywhere on public transport. I’m not going to say every trip was a joyful experience, but imho you are making a way bigger deal out of this than the reality. Although to be fair it depends a lot on the quality of the public options in your metro region.

Downside of kids that always travel by public transport: on the rare occasions that they do travel by car, they puke nearly every time. For us public transport is a lot less stressful than traveling by car.
There's a pastebin from another user that actually "autoplays" the game.

That's how all conductors work, not just "in chips due to layers of conductors and insulators". The thing is that in most situations you just model the conductor away as a "perfect ideal wire" and everything usually just works since you don't care about these small delays and/or you have very high power.

There's a strange but wonderful little film called Avalon [0], directed by Mamoru Oshii of Ghost in the Shell fame, for which i will now give spoilers.

The film concerns a virtual-reality game, with scenes shot in both the real world and the game. The game world is absolutely drenched in what that article calls "intangible sludge" - everything is a murky brown, and settings are usually fairly spartan, containing little other than the player characters and enemies. The real world, on the other hand, looks naturalistic, albeit shabby, given that this is set in crapsack cyberpunk Eastern European city.

Or at least, you think it is. Until the final act of the film, when the protagonist gains access to a "Class Special A" level in the game - which is simply modern-day Warsaw, shot straight, like a documentary, and as such is crammed with life and colour. After an hour and a half of the various shades of beige in the earlier levels and the real world, your brain has recalibrated itself to that, and so this perfectly normal scene assaults you with its hyperreality. It's a trick, and a simple trick, but it's amazingly effective!

Sure, technique have advanced - but honestly, given what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US military is clearly more on the level of throwing faeces than firing arrows, let alone ICBMs.

Given the speed of their collapse, I'm willing to bet there were more people in Afghanistan who believe in lizard people than who believed in the state they built. Ditto Iraq.
This is probably true! However YouTube also knows how many times I personally have clicked on a video I have already watched. Which is zero, barring the possibility of a mistimed mouse click.
probably not another fad, it jus stems from color theory, which have been incorporated in film one way or another for a really long time. Even before these digital color grading took place, scenes in movies are carefully planned out, from set to costumes to lighting, so they fit within a certain range in the color space such it's pleasant for viewers.

The orange and teal look is just a very widely used combination that utilizes complementary colors. Even though it's been used a lot i personally still find it quite appealing.
By criminal record she clearly mean the sort of things that would prevent you from being accepted to the bar/law school. Someone with a rape conviction as an adult wouldn't be sitting in a first year law lecture. Is is normal for law schools not to accept candidates that will not be able to become lawyers.
And you'd need a crowd of hands to count those nurses who were not vaccinated and subsequently died from COVID not with COVID under the care of their former colleagues.

That scenario removed far more caregivers from production than your scenario, so what's your point?
I feel like it's a bit of a Pandora's box. Once the student loan box got opened and administrators began to realize the incentives at play (for the lenders, e.g. most student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy), they saw dollar signs. It's easy to justify tuition hikes when you know most of your students are already taking out loans which they'll basically always get. And since each student is usually only there for about four years, the increases while they're there don't seem significant because their frame of reference is so small. And even if they do realize the highway robbery taking place, what are they gonna do, transfer half their credits to somewhere cheaper and spend even more time in school to finish their degree?
If the specs can be delivered then the pricing seems fair, but I guess I was wishfully thinking for a deal. Guess not everyone can recoup their costs with your data like Meta
Yeah I suspect people have wised up to the fact that the alumni base of a program matters more than pretty much anything else. So unless you’re at a prestige program at a prestige school, college probably isn’t going to pay off as well. Thus the piling in to elite universities while overall enrollment drops off.

Thanks. It seems you made it mad; stuck in a infinite whim-loop.
> The loans are exactly why the colleges were able to continue jacking up the prices.

This is partly true. The US also DID use to subsidize more University tuition.

However: Agreed. The loans are dumb. They feed into the issue in exactly the way you describe. They should be interest free as long as you are making regular payments.[1]

> Also, in-state tuition for state schools is much less...

This is so thorny... I have a younger cousin, and what he ended up doing was going to a community college for two years, then transferring. It worked out well for him! But it was a gamble.

When I was in school my parents were very obsessed with me "having the college experience" even though we were much less well-off than they were in uni and were not able to support me financially[0]. I say this to point out: I am not advocating for this. College should not be fun! If it is: Great! Glad you had a good time. But that is not necessarily the reality you should expect.

However: I have noticed a lot of people made a lot of friends in Uni, and those develop into professional relationships later in life.

Additionally, if you are an ambitious person, going to community college has the risk of failing to prepare you for higher level university teaching.

Finally: I am an extremely extroverted person. I found the community aspect of going to class, studying with friends, etc. extremely helpful in my motivation and understanding of the material. I've tried to do the MIT classes and such, but it rarely sticks.

0: Not their fault, not whining. Shit happens!

Maybe a large chunk of sites will disappear. But if the only way they were sustainable were through tracking ads and effectively trading in peoples personal information then that’s for the better.

Everyone understands what privacy laws mean for adtech. The sites that use adtech for funding aren’t an unfortunate casualty in this, they are targets.

I think both you and the parent are correct. I don't think there is one answer to this question for both languages. I do think the right answer for Rust is to "wait and see." Let libraries organically develop, and wait to pull them in at the right time, to, for lack of a better word, die.
