Is there a reason government is inefficient?

And it takes up 3GB of RAM on my 8GB machine.

I don't think this is the case for a few things... paper, cardboard, etc.

Metals are worth it though -- hence why some places will pay for it.

Some areas even murder is 60%.

A healthy society keeps people from committing crimes, not a giant police force.

Though I think he will need a more convincing marketing site if he intends for people to try it out.

That's exactly my thoughts on this. Ever since the marketplace opened up it's just become more and more like eBay/AliExpress, flooded with cheap knock-offs and dubious products.

I still have Prime for regular purchases, but find myself buying special items from specialized sellers (car parts, gym equipment, etc.)

Putting people put in positions like that and sending gloating "I will f you up" messages is almost an invitation to be murdered, to people who are about to lose everything.

Yeah every taxi experience I've had has been terrible. Taking a longer route to increase the fair, rude, drives like a maniac. Then hassles me for a tip.

But these laws don't prevent the latter, since those are usually oblivious or impaired drivers.

They just find a way to monetize the former. Which isn't in itself wrong -- it just sets up these perverse incentives that history has shown various jurisdictions cannot handle without transparency.

People really tie "kills" in games to murder in real life way too casually. When I play a game it's about strategy, team work, and winning.

A lot like Football (Soccer). It has little to do with the terms or animations used in the game -- those are just for entertainment.

I don't play a game because of how violent it is, I play it if my friends have it and/or it has good/fun game mechanics.

Not if you're calling different people, totally legal.

I saw Yarn added last month a hash of the (hopefully) source of the dependencies -- that's what we need.

Despite using lockfiles, some transitive dependency changed and we decided it was best to upgrade the direct dependency, requiring a big refactor. The alternative was to fork the library and maintain it ourselves -- which I am refusing to do from this point on. We have about 10 forked 3rd party libraries. No more.

I feel like I spend 30% of my time just trying to upgrade/maintain the current builds because some stupid loosely semver'd dependency changes, rather than writing new features.

I really think as a knowledge worker there is no point to being limited to where you live for employment.

But remote companies seem to be very picky about who they hire. I have not had much luck. Local places won't stop spamming me though.

I think ringtones are distracting and totally unnecessary, with a few exceptions. My phone is either in my pocket, or on my desk nearby to where I'll see it ring.

I don't understand people who leave it on loud at work (or worse, leave it on loud then leave the phone at their desk). It's really inconsiderate. They are probably oblivious though, without someone mentioning it to them.

Or, since manufacturing an automobile is already centralized just use existing PKI.

Just started happening in our containers earlier this week.

Who are these 'I want free stuff' people? I keep hearing them mentioned as some sort of strawman, but no one can really find me any large groups of these people demanding free stuff. Most people realize taxes pay for welfare benefits.

It also appeals to people who want to eliminate 20 government and various state agencies for a single entity. We already have many convoluted forms of welfare, why not simplify it?

The whole point of a government is to benefit the welfare of its civilians.
