Which is why those at the top are trying to focus the people's anger and rage at their neighbors instead of at the ones who could make their lives better (by sharing, you know, those with all the wealth).

Mercenaries. Like KBR/Halliburton/et al. except focused on tech rather than just physical security.

I wonder if it increases false accusations and turning in "enemies".

EDIT: This in regards to knowing: "We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes."

That makes more sense though. Since one can't easily take a home with them (it's fixed to the ground), renting a dwelling provides flexibility and liquidity for life changing events.

I agree. However, I don't see the savings from the reduction of waste primarily going to consumers and everyone at large but being kept and collected by the owning class.

I believe you also need 500 karma to vouch.

That thick crude requires refineries to crack it...

I believe there is high correlation between "needing additinal work" and how new the building, furniture, provider is...

Regulating publicly consumed/available AI doesn't need to restrict private/non-public trained/consumed AI.

Or worse, be [secretly] biased towards sponsored answers/solutions. There's a reason "they" don't want AI to be regulated.

Are state government pensions worse? Folks live and work for a state that includes a pension, i.e. Illinois, then retire and move out of the state, no longer contributing to that state's economy, just drawing on it. Thoughts?

Most doctors are scheduled out for weeks. Best bet is an urgent care/walk in clinic. (Good luck if they have a pediatrician.)

And less pollution from cars.

The saying for landing is: "throttle for altitude, pitch for speed". Most folks attempt the opposite.

Right?! I'm with you. And if rural America doesn't want socialism let them pay their far share for true fire protection costs and increased insurance premiums.

Are we estimating developer cost (investment cost, writing code only tome), development costs (investment costs including QA time), or time to delivery and first use? People want and use estimates for different purposes. You point out great reasons why knowing what the estimates are for is important.

As mentioned in a sibling comment reply:

Time estimations, or conversations to days or other units, typically fail because if a developer says 1 day they might mean 8 focused uninterrupted development hours while someone else hears 1 calendar day so it can be done by tomorrow, regardless of if a developer spends 8 or 16 hours on it.

Regarding #4, does thinking about it count as starting? Or do they me starting to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard?

"An error occurred: API rate limit already exceeded" at the end...

Is that intentional and a joke? I hope so. I find it funny.

I agree. "Plans are worthless, but planning is invaluable." Its the process of thinking thru things, identifying risks, and having a few possible backup plans.

I like to split out exploration and discovery (research) as a third step (the first step) in the process. Before a plan can be devised research needs to be conducted. The more time between research, planning, and execution increases the likelihood of rework or failure.

The best time to plan is dependent on how stable/unstable the environment is.

Oil Cartel wants to control Venezuelan oil.

I don't think this Administration/Executive Branch recognizes Puerto Rico (populace) to be American or part of the U.S. except only in as much as it can do whatever it wants there.

Civil forfeiture taken to a new level?

"We're suing the money and confiscating it, we're not suing you." -> "We're bombing drugs, not people."

Collateral damage be damned!

If other countries were bombing US boats in the Gulf of Mexico, closer to the US and hundreds or thousands of miles away from the country doing the bombing, would you be okay with that?

More farm land for Acre Trader to buy up for pennies on the dollar!

Ever watch the movie Idiocracy? Was a stupid "comedy", today it seems to be a prophetic documentary.

Trump's son started a drone company a few weeks back... The velocity of the grift will pick up.
