I'd pile on that the programmability of the HPs was amazing compared to the TIs. The manual for my HP-48sx was a chonkyboi but man could I do so much with it. Once I figured out how to calculate pitch frequencies for equal temperament (just a mathematical series) I was using the BEEP function (IIRC) to have my calculator play music.
This is also can be enhanced by tweaking up your mouse sample rates and whatnot. I used to do a lot of setting PS/2 mouse sample rates at 80Hz or more in late 90s that made Windows machines feel almost as nice to use as a Mac.
Citrix has made a whole thing out of speeding up this scenario. It's a big part of why customers still use their software despite their other numerous failings.
The overly cautious approach is how anyone that does not want a lawsuit handles these sorts of things. Do I really need to chuck out that bottle of ibuprofen after 4 to 5 years?
I'm always amazed by how well MLMs inoculate their sellers to criticism. Questioning the merits of the product or the distribution system usually results in conflict. A lot of people selling these things think they've discovered something special and that they're clever to have picked it up and run with it. Once they're at that point there is no stopping ego.
"Yet he is now the latest affluent American to warn that Senator Elizabeth Warren’s plan for much higher taxes on the rich would be bad not just for the wealthy but for the rest of America, too."
I've watched the clip several times now and this is horrible characterization by this journalist. The title of this piece even seems to be click bait-y. We're starting to have a national conversation about more heavily taxing billionaires again but so much of the media is pumping this up into a "the Populists are going to eat the rich" kind of hysteria.
Oh very interesting. Weirdly enough my initial response to you has been upvoted and then downvoted. I don't want to turn this place into Reddit with all the meta talk, but interesting things are afoot.
I know this is a repost, which is rare for this site, but I feel such a camaraderie with him and the homestate connection I'll vote it up again and again.
Queue the ZeroHedge style conspiracy theories and watch the sparks fly. That idea of a dethroned dollar is interesting, any thoughts at was is likely to take over? The Euro?
Some of that is going on. I've heard of some orgs being asked to pay a ransom in hopes of picking up a trail to the perpetrators following the BitCoin.
I think the author of the story aptly addressed this as an all to common justification. The tricky ethical bit isn't whether or not cases like your own do exist, but rather really how many of them are there on the whole?
We do similar or related work at the firm I'm in quite frequently. Mostly we have people that understand Mergers and Acquisitions really well, sets of people that understand industries really well, and people that know technology really well (IT operations, business process and applications, infrastructure, app architecture, etc.). These groups of people put together along with methodologies for quick turn-around on analysis afford us higher rates. There's also an element of these types of engagements where clients almost seem to expect higher rates and expense fees; otherwise we may give the perception of a less than serious service provider while involved with high dollar transactions.
So much more than that even, so many are teachers must feel compelled to do what they must for the sake of their students. I know it's incidental, but the extra effort I see my own kids' teachers putting in without financial incentive is incredible. Education is a business where a lot of "employees" probably aren't doing the calculations around their pay-per-hour but rather are focused on the accomplishing the things necessary for their students success.
Maybe that's a long winded way of saying that I suspect a lot of teachers are bleeding hearts and do not closely manager their time or monetary budgets closely.
My firm specializes in MnA IT diligence work. We have so many PE firm relationships and consultants with industry specializations that what we do sounds like a long term version of this. The rates tend to stay up there on through post-close transaction work as well.
I don't know how much truth there is to it, but people I've known that worked in metal health institutions have complained that they're systemically being shut down with no where for the patients to go. They say that often patients end up being handled by police, EMTs, and medical workers. None of which are particularly expert in dealing with mental health issues.
This can be a bit confusing, basically some parts within the CPU package 7nm dies and other parts are 14nm dies. The chiplets that are the CPU core are the prior, interconnects (or the I/O die) is the latter.
This point wasn't clear to me reading the article. I got the impression that many of those bankruptcies were independent owner/operators but that the reporter was trying to downplay that and rather let us believe these were large operators on the brink of collapse.
