Office bullshit was a ZIRP.
This has not been a practical problem in my experience. Because composition makes it easier to tell what something does, people are not putting the incorrect implementations of things together. They're essentially just functions with contracts. Very easy to read.

With inheritance, you can't know what something does until you know what everything it inherits does. The little method you override could change the entire execution flow of the code. It's extra steps with no benefits.
Regardless of your opinion of the Daily Wire, they have an in-depth article with details that the Washington Post omitted. With hyperlinks to each source:

Trump would use his father's $1M loan to buy condos that were undervalued because they were old and in need of fixing. He'd pay people to fix it up and paint it and turn around and flip it for more money. Then with the money he made flipping condos, he started to buy hotels and casinos and made his billions. Of course, he had to eat the costs sometimes and file bankruptcy but he never gave up until he was successful.

My son is learning how to flip houses, a lot of people do this, pay to fix them up and then sell them for more than they bought them for.
"Reputable publishers" put out garbage books all the time.

Remember "Snooki"? Four books for sale on Amazon, all published by a "reputable publisher" (in fact, a division of Simon and Schuster).

Of the current top 20 best sellers list:

https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-books-Amazon/zgbs/books/...

I'd rate at least 15 as "garbage books" on sight.

"Reputable publishers" are in business to make money. Some of them may put on airs of intellectual quality, but in fact if trash books make a buck, they will publish them. If high-quality books are unlikely to make a profit, they will not.

Evaluating each chance to use one specific favor, based on your perceived need for it at one moment and its potential outcome, feels equivalent to interviewing one job applicant in this classical problem.

Collecting favors then doling them out rationally is rational.

Being a favor doomsday prepper with an ever-growing favor stockpile is not.
I don't think that means he isn't careful about what he reviews - just that his selection criteria is not "I expect this to be good". Rather it's, if I had to guess, "this is part of or illustrates an interesting story in the world of technology."

I've had this once, in the middle of a car accident, while things were still unfolding, and that thought was "this is going to suck".

It did, in fact, suck, though, not as much as I'd imagined I suppose. Car was totaled, I walked without a scratch, went to the ER where they handed me a scrip for 30 800mg Ibprophen and 30 Vicodin, and then told me I could call the doctor's number on the scrip if I needed more Vicodin....
I wound up just going home and taking a couple advil, went to bed, and woke up feeling like I, well, had totaled a car, took a couple more advil, and that was that.

Funny though, how, at our most vulnerable, there's an odd clarity about it, none of the day to day BS in the way, quite literally living in the moment, which may be your last.
I see the 20% in my app, but it is for orders above $10 so may not work for a single sandwich order being discussed above. But for 2 people or more, it could be quite useful. Never used this and not a McD regular, but will remember this next time.

See also https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.html and scroll down to "Batteries trend" and compare today vs a year ago.
A year ago, batteries were discharging max 3MW and were drained by 10-11 pm.
Yesterday batteries were discarging at max 5.3MW and were fully drained around 11:30.
So batteries handled twice as much power for longer period of time.
I'll certify your certification!
So true. This may come across as first world problems but here goes: once I forgot to take my wallet to the office; so no cash or cards (I had taken a cab and realized this once I reached office). I had to borrow some money from my co-worker (which I was quite uncomfortable about since I have a bit of an allergy about borrowing money). That day, I repeatedly calculated how much I had left to ensure that I had enough for lunch, dinner (which I used to do near office) and transportation. Not even close to hardships of someone dealing with real financial challenges but it was like a sneak peak that I stayed with me.

"Bring your professional facade to work" is usually better advice.
Democrats of the time, when making the decision, knew they would lose the South. They did and the Republicans pursued what was/is called the "Southern Strategy", appealing to the former Dems.

It's not weird; it's conventional political history retold over and over.
age of first sex? n/a. age of the first of a long series of rejections from the opposite sex was quite a young age.

I guess we all have our own positive and negative deviations from the mean across different aspects of life's 'expected' outcomes.
It's important to remember, whenever a news headline reads "Y after X", that the headline does not actually claim "Y because of X". I find it a frustrating misdirection by the newspaper to employ such headlines, since they are so easy to misread in that way.
20 days? The norm is 30-40 in the U.K (9ish bank holidays plus 20 minimum but many professional jobs are 25-30). I can’t imagine mainland Europe is worse.
Curious article. But I wonder if the problem lies elsewhere. The tweet caught my attention.

The author seems to be using outrage and dramatic words to get engagement. Based on this article and the views the tweet got, it looks like it is working.

The curious thing is that there is a reply from MKBHD in the thread and the tweet author highlights how MKBHD used a more dramatic title on Youtube and that is the authors gripe.

It it possible that all the only way to get engagement(the author is doing the same thing on his primary social media channel i.e. Twitter and MKBHD on his i.e. Youtube) now a days on your primary social media platform is with dramatic words/titles? Which is what is causing all this friction?
These posters would prefer all protests be relegated to a closed studio TV channel you can simply avoid ever tuning into, and a state that punishes deviancy from that
Unfortunately, dealerships have lobbied for a lot of regulatory capture.

Tesla had to export their cars made in Texas and then import them back into Texas in order to sell them without a dealership.

The laws are from dealer groups with too much power trying to prevent car manufacturers from selling directly to the consumer.

Defend him from what exactly? There was literally no controversy until people started defending him from the controversy.

The only person who won here is Daniel Vassallo, whose low effort post went viral because people kept sharing it to show how stupid it was, thus drawing more eyeballs to his $400 "I will teach you how to be a successful entrepreneur" course on X (because of course he has one).
Any new data not in OSM is under a separate dataset and not under a copyleft license, so anyone contributing to that in the future means that their data might be used in a proprietary map.

In general, this seems to be more aimed as a corporate-friendly replacement of OSM where instead of volunteers, its companies with satellite data and phone data and AIs and only the end result is shared, not the process. So you're right that its not really being unfair to the OSM community whose data they seem to only reluctantly want (because it's copyleft) and have kept as such.

I am worried though that if if this gets popular, that OSM will be starved for funding and contributors

These are called sit-ins or "sitdown strike", and are not particularly uncommon. They happen in many democracies around the world (not at google though).
The guy was specifically talking about the video's headline, which was written to be clickbait like everything else on YouTube because that's how MKBHD pays his bills.
Wait, they managed to get Wing Commander 3 working on Windows 95??

> Bonus chatter: During one of the many iterations of this story being retold, someone remarked that they got a copy of the video game Wing Commander III through this exercise. I immediately remembered that they fulfilled their expectation by filing a bug against Windows 95: When you earned the cloaking device on level 58 or something, you couldn’t activate it.

I never managed (not that it mattered, it took 10-15 minutes to load each mission even on DOS; I imagine it would have been worse under Windows 95).

I said money-obsessed, not greedy, not really the same thing, but it is something that's becoming more and more pervasive. Case in point, your whole response was focused purely on money.

I actually find it pretty interesting that there's so much hostility towards my posts when I attempt to start a discussion on alternatives to our present and decaying society. Like, it is a lack of imagination? A resignation to reality? Belief that this is the best we can do?

Personally, I /can/ envision a future without landlords, banking info, and retirement accounts, where we direct the immense productivity of our people away from one that necessitates a focus on money. I guess I'll just need to work on my pitch.
Their kid isn’t unique. They don’t need to know how that kid reacts - it’s perfectly adequate to learn from the millions of times it has happened to other children. Does the parent need to try having his own kid run into the road as well, to find out what would happen?
Looking at the details provided by dailywire it's perfectly understandable why these people were arrested.

I don't have references easily to hand but I don't think that's true. Polynesian navigators were able to make repeat journeys to the same destination reliably enough to return home and build maps and train successors in their craft.
You are being too cynical. There's a lot of data outside of open streetmap that complements open streetmap. A lot of that data is open but hard to combine with openstreet maps. And some of that data is owned by companies that are willing to license the data in an open way.

Overture basically is a joint effort by several companies to combine all that data.

Speaking as someone who has worked with OSM data. It's great for maps but severely lacking elsewhere with a lot of incomplete data, poorly/inconsistently tagged data, lot's of regional variation in tagging, etc. All this presents challenges for users of this data wanting to build stuff on top of this data. And there are lots of companies that are replicating efforts to fix this between each other. Been there done that. This is hard, non trivial work.

Overture is an attempt to move on from lots of companies reinventing this wheel to get to a state where there is a decent data foundation to build their applications on.

And they are releasing that data under an open license. So, there's a lot to like here. The process of how this data is produced is not as open unfortunately and it is unfortunate that they are doing this outside of the openstreetmap community.

But then perhaps that community wasn't that welcoming to get such a thing done? Nor have they seem capable or willing to do such work themselves. Overture are clearly working around them and it's worth spending some time reflecting on whether that could have worked differently and what would have had to change on both sides for that to happen.
It's true that scammers use many different techniques, and I agree that NCP is in play here. But something can be more than one thing at once. This is a scam.
Yes... That's what protest looks like.
I prefer if the protests are relegated to a TV channel I can simply avoid ever tuning into (like CNN or MSNBC). I am not sure what state you have in mind, but US does not punish deviance from anything.
All the more reason to just do your job an leave. Remember why are you getting paid before engaging in these kind of stupid things.

That seems very hard to reconcile with Donald Trump, overwhelmingly popular party leader, as well as many, many other Republicans who express hatred to contempt and create legalized discrimination against many groups, LGBTQ+ people and immigrants for example.

It's not clickbait. It is the worse product ever reviewed at that price point because it solves nothing. For now.

You cannot just slap together a bunch of tech for no reason and then price it like Apple and pretend you're Apple. The fact that they received $240 million funding needs to be investigated in itself. Such terrible VCs need to be publicly humiliated.
You're framing unrepentant neoconservatism as some underrepresented moderate alternative that a disaffected middle America is secretly clamoring for. I have not met any normal people who think the way French and Stephens do.
It's actually a rather large set. But it's entirely believable that it's the worst product he's reviewed to date.
I think pretty much any act popular enough to headline at a large LiveNation venue can do this. Not even all that is necessary: just ID verification. Require each ticket to be associated with a real person's name at the time of purchase (and the ticketing platform should make it easier for people to find tickets next to or at least near their friends when they have to buy in separate orders).

Tickets aren't transferable. Ticket purchasing platform has a marketplace where people can resell tickets to others if they can't attend, and sale price is capped at whatever they paid in the first place. (Or the ticket issuers can partner with something that already exists, like StubHub, and contractually require the price caps.)

Each attendee must present their ID to enter the event. Names must match, no exceptions. I don't love the idea that you can't anonymously attend a concert (by walking up to the ticket counter and paying in cash, assuming any large venues even have box offices anymore), but I think the benefits of this scheme for the majority of purchasers far outweigh that negative.

This isn't hard. It's almost as if someone in the chain likes scalpers...

I'm not sure what difference that would make?

I mean, obviously metal is going to be stronger than fused plastic, but I gather here that what makes it stronger than normal is the structure.

Wouldn't FDM plastic objects made with this structure be stronger than FDM objects made with a more conventional structure? That would be very useful even if it's not as strong as metal.

I think I'm going to print up some test pieces and do destructive testing.
Yep. Everything is extreme these days.
I’ve used emergency care in the US and U.K. waiting in the U.K. was half an hour, in the US was 4 hours. The U.K. was of course free, the US was $2k

We can be - and are - both.
Politicians 'come to their senses' when they interact with normal people and are accountable to them. Public funding of elections and bans on large private donations remove the incentive to only talk to rich people. Getting money out of politics needs to be a top priority. If money isn't a factor then all voices become equal and democracy can rear its head once more.

I feel like modern presidential campaigns are just two team captains assembling as many billionaires as they can on their team. Biggest net worth team wins
They're basically leaving a lot of money on the table by not being able to fill orders faster.

Yes, and in times past Boeing was leaving a lot of money on the table by doing things in-house, employing a unionized workforce and applying more stringent quality control. Not everything is an opportunity for expansion, and aircraft manufacturing is famously capital-intensive and slow to build up.

Airbus recently added another A321 assembly line -- by repurposing its idle A380 construction hangar. There's a cautionary tale for you, if you're aware of history.
It's pretty weak proof. It only says some part of it was billed to the ministry of defense. Who knows what it was used for? It could be their HR, billing, etc.
Yep, be careful what you wish for. It's not exactly congruent with being professional.

this approach might not be the best, you need to consider that in some countries this data might not translate to the reality of it when it comes from a government source.

These offerings have a very obvious catch: They give you all these nice perks and take care of your family so you have more time for the company. They effectively buy you and your time.
That isn't at all what the article says.

Every liberal democracy subscribes to the idea of civilian control of the military, so the distinction between civilian leadership and the military they oversee isn't a new or foreign concept.

Why would you assume MoD use = IDF use? Do you also assume everything the DoD contracts for is used by the U.S. Army?

This comment is confusing. It makes me think that you believe their endgame is actually become the owners of the office they occupied or otherwise gain something. Their goal was to make themselves be heard. Us talking about it right now means it’s working.
As a counterpoint, Boston spends more per student than every other city ($31.3k in 2023 dollars):

But the outcomes are quite poor.

How can society justify spending more on the same institutions that have miserable outcomes?

In the private sector, less revenue forces belt-tightening, purchasing software and tools that enhance productivity, and ultimately bankruptcy if it can't work. Where in the public sector is anyone held accountable for failure? When will we accept that simply throwing more money down the pit won't solve what is a multi-faceted issue that primarily isn't about money?
The video title is "the worst product I've ever reviewed" and the thumbnail is the product with its $700 price tag. What exactly is the "clickbait" here?

How query optimisation looks like? Does it optimize on the SQL or algorithm level?
Huh. I would argue that the software remained the property of Microsoft, and so there were no tax consequences. Presumably if the Windows 95 development manager said, a year later, "Hey guys, time to give all that stuff back," they would. It's just that nobody asked for it.
I had never heard of MKBHD before now so I had to look it up.

They have a youtube channel:

I think this what alot of people get wrong. "N' in NP does not stand for "not" it stands for "non-deterministic". Meaning you can solve in P time with a non-deterministic Turing machine, or alternatively, a function executing on all inputs in parallel.

So maybe it should really be P and NDP.
Interesting.

So the Egghead store in San Jose on Blossom Hill Road had 2 interesting employee perks:

0. Vendor reps, including those from Microsoft, were happy to see you cheap NFR copies ($10-25 USD mostly, with some expensive packages going for $50-150) of almost their entire catalog of retail and semi-retail channel software.

1. Here's the shady one: since 99.9% of software was only "sealed" by shrink wrap and having a shrink wrap machine in the store to fix damaged or packages missing sealing altogether, it was essentially impossible to tell, as an end purchaser, if a particular item had been used and resealed. This was by design to avoid throwing away returned product or sending it back to the manufacturer as a loss. An unofficial benefit was created to deter shrinkage (employee theft) at this store in particular, had an unwritten policy established by the manager that permitted employees to temporarily "borrow" software that wasn't sealed or was already unsealed such as being returned.

I helped closed the store in 1997 after the CompUSA tech hypermart format ate tiny stores like ES that would eventually also meet its own demise.
I mean we do cut off entire countries and their citizens from global markets and from traveling when they do shit like invading their sovereign neighbors and that is completely fine and even desirable. Why can’t we (morally) cut them off also from infecting our Internet? Fuck them. Fix your country then come back and we will reevaluate.
