That's not how I see it, but I think it raises the interesting question. What is the need or value in coming to a definitive conclusion on something when it doesn't impact your daily life or choices.

My personal opinion and observation is that many people choose to take a stance on topics despite having no need to do so.

I think they would be better served remaining agnostic on most topics despite their priors leaning one way or another.
If you Google for it you'll get the gist of it. Wikipedia redirects "kitchen robot" to "food processor", and companies like Thermomix or Dúvida markets their products as "cooking robots" and "kitchen robots".
One way around the billing issues is to act like an attorney, and go with a retainer.

The majority of Covid deaths now are people who are vaccinated[0]. I'm old enough to remember when the Director of the CDC[1] and the US President[2] both said vaccinated people couldn't get or spread Covid. So spare me with the claims of expertise.

It's true that the NAZI govt thought the war would be won or lost in a couple of years, so longer programs weren't much valued. But they invested in rockets which didn't come into play quickly. The German physicists told the govt the bomb was far off; but there's every reason to think the scientists knew better and deliberately fudged their calculations.

If you're talking civilian, then about all I could recommend is to take your time and let the experience build instead of trying to do too much at once. Most civilian pilots I know that have learned to fly fast jets tend to have to cram all their training into limited free time, and that makes it harder to keep a consistent training attitude. the military of course has a very formal and long tested training process, and while they've introduced a lot of technology in the last decade to try to shorten that time, it's still done under the supervision of well experienced and qualified instructors training consistently on familiar equipment, so in a way it's "easier" or at least easier to maintain a good focus
back when radio stations played records, record companies would pay DJ's to play specific songs or albums [1]. I was a scandal at the time. It's almost quaint now.

It’s two different measurements. TCI owns 0.5% of the company but gets less than 0.5% of voting power.

Ownership percentage is only important because of how it lets them impact the stock price.

AI selfies – and their critics – are taking the internet by storm
This symptom was occurring to me because I was on a network with a Pi-Hole, had Safari's "Hide IP address from trackers" on (which I think uses the iCloud Private Relay to get some resources usually delivered by CDNs that track), but the Pi-Hole was configured with the 'BLOCK_ICLOUD_PR' option on. Safari would just hand when it attempted to get those resources.

The new compiler was not a direct port of the old one. It explored fundamentally different design decisions. The new compiler is a better piece of engineering than the old one. It wasn't strictly extra work. In order to achieve our current feature set and performance characteristics, such changes would have either needed to be done on the old codebase or the new one. It's a pretty easy argument to make that the increased developer velocity from using Zig landed us further along, by this time today, than it would have if we would have invested in the C++ codebase instead. You can argue against that particular claim but what you can't meaningfully do is call the efforts useless.
No, I don't believe I am. Can you clarify what you think I've mixed up?

Class A shares (such as TCI have) have regular voting rights. Class B shares (such as Larry and Sergey have) have 10x voting rights. Thus, as I understand it, TCI's voting voting power is at most roughly ~0.5. In practice, it's way less than that due to all the class B shares[0], reinforcing my point.

Yup, many ported games suffer a lot in terms of optimization, especially when they outsource to other smaller studios to do the job for them.

But its certainly better than not having story games at all.
Sony's story games are really really good, and they finally realized that releasing on PC is a win-win for everyone, more money for Sony, more games for PC, because most of the time no one wants to switch from PC to PlayStation

I recently created an account on Waze and it was quite a challenge. Kept giving me errors, and giving me impossible instructions. It was one of the jankiest/most broken experience I've had in an Android app.

Then in my last trip I tried using it to find gas stations on my drive and it was a huge pain in the ass. It was once again impressive in how bad it was.

Waze has some nice features, but it's janky af. Google Maps is considerably better in almost every way. Waze is useful to see speed traps and has more information about gas prices. (Much less helpful in getting you TO those gas stations, though.)
The majority of Covid deaths now are from people who are vaccinated. It's time we stop pretending to have an excuse to treat others poorly because they're not part of the "in group". It's just authoritarianism and a lot of people are super comfortable with it when it's used against "the others".

It's such a weird disconnect seeing people that can't go outside of the mindset that everything is a web application.

Systemd ships their documentation (most of what you asked for, actually) with the package, and their environment variables description can be found in /usr/share/doc/systemd/ENVIRONMENT.md (at least on my machine).

When you're dealing with the applications which form the building blocks of a *nix environment your first step should not be google, but grepping through the /usr/share/doc, and using the apropos and man commands.

3) Go to codewars easier challenges

Exercises:

Write a function that takes an array of numbers and returns the largest number in the array.

Write a function that takes an array of strings and returns a new array containing only the strings that are shorter than 4 characters.

Write a function that takes an array of numbers and returns a new array containing only the even numbers from the original array.

Write a function that takes an array of numbers and returns the sum of all the numbers in the array.

Write a function that takes an array of words and returns a new array containing only the words that are palindromes (words that are spelled the same forwards and backwards, like "racecar" or "level").

Try writing some code using loops, if statements etc to
- create a new array that is the reverse of the old array

- reverse an array by modifying it in place

- see what happens if you use the `delete` keyword on an array element

- see what happens if you index or `.find` an element that doesn't exist

- try out the built-in functions `map`, `filter`, `reduce`. See if you can get an intuition for what they do and how they're generally useful

Based on research, I think I should keep learning more of javascript for the time being.

From the first to the last day I worked in computer networking I encountered otherwise capable people who thought that if they randomly rebooted things… the problem was with the last thing they rebooted before “it worked again”.

It was an endless discussion about how restarting things can have second order effects, including impacting the equipment that really was the cause.

> You can go about doing more math, I'll do the engineering

I'd say most of the teams I supported as a backend/DevOps/infrastructure engineer followed that pattern.

Generally the evolution I saw was start with a handful of sciency folks working in R or python, get more grant money as work becomes more important, have some SE's thrown in the mix to re-write in python and/or C/Cpp.

A lot of those SE's would float between teams with one of us infra folks to performance tune as they scaled.

> Why is "useful for illegal transactions" supposed to be a bad thing, when these illegal transactions are illegal for extremely dubious reasons?

Straw man based on a made-up quote. The article does not mention "useful for illegal transactions" anywhere. The article mentions legal transactions in only two occasions:

- "Bitcoin is rarely used for legal transactions"

- "Bitcoin has never been used to any significant extent for legal real-world transactions."

If you feel the need to refute what the ECB claimed, show where bitcoing is used in any significant extent for legal real-world transactions.

Not even El Salvador, with their push to adopt Bitcoin as the nation's official currency, Bitcoin transactions saw any significant uptake.

How many hours of training did you receive before flying without a more senior pilot with you? The L39 type rating requirement is a thousand hours but it won't be in the jet itself.

Epic’s Fortnite was massively profitable before mobile ports came around. Most companies are balking at a 30% surcharge on everything purchased for essentially app reviewing and listing in a store.

Its newsworthy because Twitter has been publicly denying that shadowbanning has been in place, and they've denied that preferential treatment based on preferences of internal teams has been in place. Both of those are now being shown to be false statements. Glossing over that fact is a great disservice to the conversation.
At the risk of really straining the metaphor, one of the arguments is that not all the pedestrians are able to be fitted with those force fields. The force fields are also not 100% full-proof, although they can help reduce the impact.
> unless it was in a critical spot

Which is where most strikes occur. Low speed (relative for an aircraft) and low altitude.

A bird hitting the prop, sucked into an engine, tail strike, windscreen, etc... all can be devastating for any aircraft, be it GA or commercial.

A drone strike isn't somehow going to be better for the aircraft...
I'm not going to speculate on what someone did or didn't know, let's give him the benefit of the doubt and just say he was really lucky. My main point was just don't expect similar results if you try it yourself.

Walmart is particularly good at this. Search for Walmart property tax lawsuit and you'll find hundreds of examples of Walmart filing lawsuits to get their property taxes lowered.

Please replace the word "crypto" with "Bitcoin". These arguments are valid only for Bitcoin. If you're new to the space and vocabulary, "crypto" as a category doesn't include Bitcoin. The word is meant to distract from Bitcoin and is in itself a scam.

There's no value in creating competing cryptocurrencies. There's no reason why the world needs another Bitcoin.

All these scammers do is they fabricate a reason why they should exist, a project, a team, a foundation, and a "genius" person on top to give it a face. All this is just a facade to fabricate demand for their private money which they printed for themselves. This is why crypto is a scam.

What's the point you're trying to make? Just because we don't yet have a confirmed kill from a DJI Phantom means it's impossible?

We do have confirmed strikes from drones, and the damage has been devastating. We do have confirmed strikes with fatalities from birds. There is not much difference between a bird and a drone when an aircraft strikes it at speed...

These drones are often operated by folks with zero training and zero deference for the law or aviation safety (highlighted by the fact they're operating near an airport). It's just a matter of time... if it hasn't already happened right here in this Dallas incident.
