You're talking about activist investing [0]. It's possible but you still need a significant holding to actually have any leverage. Joe Blogs who owns 100 of 10000000 shares is not going to be allowed to talk at the AGM

HK has an interesting business model in that the MTR is majority owned by the government and the government grants the land on top of train stations to MTR. MTR then generally builds shopping malls, offices and residential developments e.g LOHAS park, there making it a property company which operates (very profitable) rails between its properties. Hence, the average person not only travels on the MTR but also spends money at MTR Malls and may live and/or work in an MTR property. MTR corporation also provides consultancy services and even runs other railways in other countries e.g the Elizabeth Line on the London Underground.

99% of what's posted on social media belongs in landfill anyway. It doesn't all need to be archived a it's probably not worth the effort trying to find the signal from the noise.

I did Computer Science (not software engineering) as an engineering classified degree i.e MEng. The key difference is that it included more management and some other modules required to make the degree accredited by the IET to meet the UK-SPEC (UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence and Commitment) of the academic requirements for CEng (Chartered Engineer). This is pretty common in the UK if you do an "integrated masters" degree which is the path of least resistance to becoming professionally registered.

Mine renders pages in under 50ms under BAU load and it's hosted on a $1/month cPanel. The only trick I have used is to run it on PHP 8.1 with Lightspeed Cache

We're getting fatter and sitting in a chair all day. It's pretty well known that lack of exercise is a significant cancer risk.

When you offshore cost is the main factor and the companies optimise for it. As an example you may have an offshoring contract with Infosys where you pay around $20/hour/head and they provide mostly freshgrads (some times referred to as "commodity developers") with dubious qualifications. But you can say you have 100 engineers on the project. When hiring internationally you usually hire and interview a specific person and pay them well through Deel (or equivalent). All of the former engagements have been a disaster, the latter have mostly worked out.

Both have their benefits. In my experience offshore teams are basically an army that you need to train and provide a lot of direction. It can be very frustrating but if you have code generators, Sonarqube, linters and they are only working on CRUD applications it sometimes works out. Whereas international hires are usually very competent because you personally selected them.

The internal pressure would have to be hundreds on atmospheres to offset the pressure outside. They would have to carry a lot more air at very high pressure on on the surface with more complicated and robust equipment to handle it. It would also make buoyancy management much harder. There's also the additional problem that there is a risk of gas narcosis above 3 atmospheres of pressure.

Different eating culture. In China it's not uncommon to eat out every day whereas in the west it's usually an experience (unless you are eating out in McDonald's). Hence, cheap eats places tend to automate to save on costs.

In this case why not just divide the estimate by the confidence to get the "true estimate" e.g in your example it's actually a 4 week. If you provide a tuple the confidence will eventually be conveniently dropped in some slide deck then the "2 weeks" will be socialised as the commitment.

On an individual level you can choose whether to use contraception but you can't compel people to use contraception.

That's a pointless discussion since there is no ethical way to reduce the population.

The global population is about to plateau and then start shrinking

They would exist without the interchange fees. The money is coming from revolvers, not the merchants or interchange

There's also a channel uploading all sorts of transgressions throughout the day [1] and a cornucopia of "Teslun" channels and IG accounts

"Regions" is used so that it captures disputed territories such as Taiwan (TWN) and semi-autonomous regions which have country codes but aren't countries e.g Hong Kong (HKG) and Macau (MAC). You will notice that most airlines and international companies now refer to country dropdowns as region dropdowns, primarily to satisfy the Chinese government.

In this case it's the service provider. You are consuming a free service, which costs money to run, in return for adverts

New prompt leaking technique?

Many of the answers follow the canon of the book but the tone is completely off and it'd very obvious that the answers are written by ChatGPT.

Interestingly it refused to give an opinion on Draco Malfoy because OpenAI doesn't allow hate speech.

Most (if not, all) banks will send the transaction to a risk management solution such as LexisNexis including a bunch of metadata. It then assigns a risk score and your bank will factor that in with their risk appetite when deciding whether to ask for your PIN.

Isn't that what Pixel devices are supposed to be?

Whatever prompt the Kenyans in this scenario are receiving can just be entered directly into ChatGPT

No, because at the same time x number of users have their apps phoning home with what appears to be the same IP

I once worked at a company with very complex business processes but no ERP to solve them. Everything was Excel documents in shared drives and emails. We provisioned a low code "quick wins" team to start automating these manual processes while we were implementing the ERP. There's a space for both low code and high code solutions.

It's satire

They do have to charge you VAT unless you are a VAT registered limited company

They don't

Regularly order to HK and they usually come within a week or so.
