Always avoid supporting them. Always joke about their incompetence and rudely ask any of their members asking donations to leave. Do it frequently enough they will soften their stance.
I moved on to Orange Pi. Both price and performance blow RPi away. Only downside is way smaller community. But then, that's where the fun is. You get to build a lot of new stuff that is needed in the Orange Pi ecosystem.
If the developer is reading this, add the ability to take receipt photo and attach pdf. You can cache them in a separate folder of images and pdf. Also allow it to backup to cloud. Our phones these days has huge storage, some reaching 2TB. Space isn't an issue compare to years ago.
I assume you have that data? Not just some anecdoctal preference? Anyway, that might be true for western side but not so in Asia, especially east Asia.
Basically pentagon is setting American military power to be defeated into 2nd class power from which nevet to recover. You can already see Russians obliterate anything sent over Ukraine battlefields by NATO, especially US. We will see in our lifetime our American Leutra where just half a century ago Americans defeated Nazi. It is such a bad idea to use Sparta as though Americans never read history...ops the recent Jada Black Cleopatra confirmed that.
Maybe that person you know did that 20 years ago. USA right now has very little manufacturing plants like it used to have in the 50s to 80s. A lot got shifted out during Bush Jr time. I know a dozen machinists ended with Amazon after they lost their plant jobs around Obama's time.
That is because USD is reserve currency. In coming 2 decades you will see RMB and Ruble dominates. Already in many parts of Asia RMB is used like USD way more than USD like 5 ywars ago. Once BRICs and digital yuan kicks into high gear in 3 years, tsunami of recessions and inflations hitting USA shores like crazy. Many of my friends there now shifted out of USD and park their money in regional currencies like Yuan, Yen, SG, and even Ruble. Some opt heavily in gold and park it in Singapore.
Still cheaper and sturdier than the cardboard house in USA. European houses typivally made of brivks and mortar. Cant say that in USA.
Even 5mil house in San Fra, a significant portions the house is made of wood and drywall. Pounching through American wall is hollywood pastime. Cant find a similar think in other countries hollywood.
Back in the 60s in my youth time, I expect creative works to be immune to AI. Mundane repeatitive things like ad, copywriters, announcer, API programmers, call centre, spams replace by AI first. Heck doctors wpuld be the first few to get affected as no human can store huge chunks of medical text and pattern matching better than machines (just like what happen to letter postal sorting). Instead, creative works now being likely sacrifice first over all my earlier expectation.
It's Apple. Expect that. Their USB-C already has been designed to be DIFFERENT than others even thoigh defeating the EU directive intention. Unless EU rewrite a more stringent USB-C requirement, we will get that new USB-C feature "for first time in computing" by Apple for iphone 15 ultra.
In 2013, there was no Ukraininian war, and China and Japan willing to hold huge chunk of American bonds to allow financing of Afghan-Iraq wars. There is no brics too with cryptocurrencies/digital negligible on the far far fringe. Today, American concluded Afghan and Iraq wars with humiliation defeat. Entire "war investments" didn't yielded a single embassy over there let alone the fable 3T$ mining rights of lithium there. Chinese now actively pursuing space explorations and photonic chips while US losing tons of bright Indian+Chinese scholars coming over. Plus, in terms of poor people and population growth, there are more today than 2013. Plus Siberia is thawing making Russia now more hospitalable than Bush time. Non of American hypersonic missiles operational while Russian and Chinese are in the process of changing all their nuke missiles to newer missiles. American Patriots and Thaad are widely jokes in military industries. And the greatest kicker is in the east for centuries there are prophecies of American destructions from possibily nukes. Even John Titor in the early Bush era or late Clinton era hinted his timeline USA nuked by Russia and China. With current Biden and woke cultures permeating entire USA, those kind of economic numbers would force American governments to do very stupid thing since lacking room to manuerve. It's canary, but dead or alive, miners dont care.
Union vover individuals only especially just Americans in this case. Production still can happen in Bollywood and Seoul producing exact thing American writers can while at a fraction of the cost. Union is basically toast if they want to drag this via attrition. I am seeing corporate will win outright to these unions exactly like what Reagan did with traffic air controllers.
There are millions of fake account over at FB. There are multiple duolicates of accounts too. I personally had near 20+ FB accounts. Believing Threads having 100mil in such a short time especially back by a company that famously need billions of accounts to be valued in billions, is like believing Libra will be the next bitcoin.
Minimum wage wont help them out of poverty. It will just increase prices and they will still be price out. But now, you will have a group of ex-worker who not getting jobs because being price out also. Sounds great but implementaton is bad. It is better to subsidize these workers with skillset to find alternative and better jobs (yes something like learn to code mentality but more like German type of apprenticeship learn skill other than coding....e.g. plumbing). Singapore and Malaysia is a good example where min wage not practice in SG but in Malaysia. And yet SG wage keep on raising simply due to capitalism fighting for a limited labor resources and not artificially jack up the price of labor to make politician look like genius solving economic problem beyond their expertise.
French side do weeks not days like Americans. That is why French can't compete with the rest of EU. If you think Americam boomers bad, ENTIRE France is a glorified boomers on steroid. To be fair their income tax rate is 70%. So work hard? Reagan once forgo the other half of the year of work once he max his marginal tax rate.
You can get i5 T430-T480 or X220 to X280 for around 200usd (exclude tax and shipping) depending on spec configuration. For journalism, you don't need fancy laptop more expensive than 200usd.
Judge has very poor sense of unintended consequences. For this particular very specific case, yes the judge is right to force the farmer to pay. But this set precedence and dilute the stringent wording legality of contract. Now, if a teenage (Japan AV industry if you curious) show a thumbs up to a soul selling contract it is good because in the past she did it. Watch the Star Trek Strange new world ep2 and see how the judges should have refraint to make their decision. Any this is Canadian which in legality world consider one of the least prudence of all English speaking nations. Hence I am not surprise with this ruling. Basically Canadian has created law making from bench rather than parliament. Terrible judge even he is a nice person.
I think at this point it is better Meta to ditch python and invest in a new programming language that mimics exactly wording for wording of python but without GIL. Google did it with their Carbon for C++, Go for C/D/C++. Microsoft even wrestle with Java for .NET and at one point their J++ 2 decades ago. Meta shpuld create their own. Maybe dump their resources into Modular. Python at this point is basically a C++ with a hotch potch of features and codebase. Start from clean like Mozilla Rust would help entire programming a lot than invest in a niche subset feature of Python which they dont have any control at all (I am speaking from corporate point of view). Python is like Perl, it will continue to have its place even decades later to be generic or niche for AI. But the rest of us may be moving on to something more specialized and cleaner like Rust, Ruby, Modular, etc.
Wrong. Making it long and verbose with definition like changing any or vetoing any of the written bills render entire bill void and mandatory incarceration and execution by any Americans in state or out state with automatic full pardon and compensation of 28 million usd in 1994 currency worth. When you write something very verbose and long and with scary consequences, this kind of veto changing will not happen or if happen render useless as it creates immediate death threat to the lawmakers approving it. This is very similar to #2 which do implicit allow execution of anyone by miltia under consideration as enemy from within. This is why no one lawmakers dare to directly touch it.
He fired the engineer that told him it was unsafe (circa 5yrs ago) and need more testing. He gave that engineer ultimatum to sign it as safe or be fired. Rush fired that engineer on that refusal-to-lie-unsafe ground. He never had the intention to hire "old white guys" because of lacking budget to hire but simply prefer no one qiestion his lacknof sub experience and decision making. As for no money, it is CEO job to ensure enough funding coming in to make the venture profitable. It is HR and COO to ensure they got the right people to operate. He overstep his duty boundary in a very inexperience and lack of good business sense. Meanwhile Cameron a film director descended twice deeper than Rush EVER could while making profit and still growing his submersible company. If it is incompetent say it so. Cutting cost to the point plane felling from the sky is no excuse.
Your friend is basically useful idiot. Yes you can tell him what I said here. As long as there are NO contractual bindings, his chance can be more of zero than going. If Japan is his intention, quit his job and look for others. Maybe dropping by Taiwan, Singapore, or HK first. My friend of 2 decade landed Japan job (internal transfer) by joining a local Asian bank with a branch in Japan. And never once they dangled to him "you could/will be going to Japan".
That is you. Many use it as "I like your idea but not 100% agree with you yet....go on say more and let me think about what my next respond would be for your next comment". The judge is a boomer. Is like asking a gender studies grad student to evaluate AB testing effectiveness for a UI redesign of public survey written in Typescript. If one of the twins committed mass murder with tons of DNA evidence while the other twin is innocent. Both have been able to walk free in many cases. You simply cannot have such ambiquity in contracts offering/signing. You can have ambiguity in the clauses but not at acceptance. Anyway is Canadian. Expected that kind of low quality judgement....quite expected worldwide.
In Asia, their high school exam calculator has no graphics calculating capabability. Vast majority of questions doable with just pen and paper and loga book without needing calculator. Heck I even heard of students having broken calculator in exam and still come out scoring A. BTW, the examinable math there are near not doable by western students until they are in their 2nd or 3rd year engineering uni/college. Everytime I see those 15-18 year olds doing math in western hemisphere tapping their fancy 200usd calculators, I always chuckle knowing they would ended up buying stuff from China and Korea with all their math done already for them. And they complained jobs being outsourced...while they actively pursue gender studies.
A lot of bots there. Not worth my time to compete attention with bots. I'll wait at least 6mths before for this to settle with more real humans. Meta is infamous for botty and buggy products when creating their own. I'm worth more than being their FB users or testing guinea pigs.
This assume string theory is true. As of now, there are no proof that string theory is true or even to disprove it. In fact entire "theory" is not even provable making it label as "theory" very questionable. String theory at this stage is like Madoff Securities in 90s. Everyone assume it was legit. As long as it kept churning out dividend payout, it is good. But underlying they never ever have to be audited. They never even have to invest anything. As long as "string scientists" keep writing some fanfic things like this parallel world, it is good and legit. The math is so convoluted they kept inventing new particles called supersymmetries. As of today NOT A SINGLE of those particles found after decades. And we got Higgs proven already via the Std Model. At this point many it is as good as treating "string theory" as "alternative science" and fovus on more provable physics stuff so as a whole of humanity we able to better use our resources to advance our understanding of the universe instead of keeping the tenure job of these stringists in their respective physics department. Dont make it as a bitcoin energy sucking in physics world.
