When I raced mountain bikes I always found the feel of aluminium frames to deaden after a few years. They would be super responsive at first and then slowly lose that snappiness and with it trail feel as the years went by.
You get downvoted because the question is redundant. It's like asking who is paying for the next gen iPhone or whatever. You buy the product as is and when a new better generation of the same product comes out you don't get a free upgrade because you bought the old version.
It pretty obvious police protect capital not people. Sure many of the police officers didn't realise this until it was too late and they had committed but I think that would have a bigger detriment on their mental health than being vilified by fringe groups.
I’m not sure this applies to companies like Apple. Plenty of people will jump at the chance to replace those who quit Apple over a wfh stalemate. If you don’t have Faang on your cv you’d be foolish not to bite the commute bullet and take the role.
I'm from Dublin and Dublin's problem is two fold. First of all, many of the politicians are landlords so have a massive conflict of interest. Second is zoning laws are outrageously bad. Urban sprawl is the name of the game.
It's good and I wouldn't complain if this was an outcome however better yet would be a system that allows people to buy their own homes. One of the major pitfalls and imo systemic national security risks in Europe are the high income tax rates. This coupled with foreign investment in the property market means that regular Europeans are effectively priced out of the market with no way back in. Long term this is a crazy risk to run for the sake of maintaining inefficient bureaucracies that don't remotely cater to the pressing needs of citizens.
There is no space for that without radical rezoning and densification. The alternative is every city turning into massive urban sprawl which is entirely undesirable. If you are suggesting forcing private investors to make their properties available to public housing stock then I’m not sure why that would be an improvement without serious rent caps in place.
There should be a global rule that non-residents can't buy property. Homes should be prioritised for living not investments. It's a drag on the global economy with so much money being tied up in unproductive assets which in turn soak up even more money through rent seeking.
>You'd be the employee we're trying to get rid of. If you're lying about participation in things, saying you attended meetings when you didn't, I'd fire you.
You have it backwards. If this was happening in my team I would look at why there is a misalignment between company expectations and employee behaviour. If an employee needs to create a script to pretend to do something then there is most likely a deep cultural issue coming top down from management. It highlights an opportunity to refine and improve work practices and culture. The fact that an employee would lie is already a huge red flag that there is something wrong with the culture. Sure 5% of the time the employee is actually not fulfilling their duties but you will know this without the call logs because you would miss them on the call.
Having that background is what trained me to be able to think logically like you do to build systems which is the hard part. I wasn't born knowning this stuff either. In fact I only learned it properly in my late 20's.
I use nocode tools all the time, just not for building products. They’re great but they are also limited. If you hit any kind of success with your prototype you have to be ready to do it for real.
I already know all those things and learned them for pleasure. Once you know it, nocode vs code is like the difference between using a GUI with a mouse or learning the keyboard shortcuts and using the command line. GUI with mouse just slows you down and is less flexible in general. Fine for lots of things but it's hardly a substitute for complex apps. Nocode apps are basically approximations.
If you can solve your issues with a google form then use a google form. I would never start a simple project as an app. All my coded projects are more complex than that. Some might be able to be done with no code tools but it would definitely be a pita to execute.
I think nocode won't compete with code but more with internal workflow and non-public apps. Basically what we do in Google Sheets to track internal company stuff atm.
I just looked through there website and I fail to see how it would be quicker or better than spinning up a quick rails app with a bootstrap template. Most of my time developing is thinking about the domain model and workflows. Once I've decided on that it takes a matter of minutes to code features and then you are not restricted in your ability to adjust and enhance after the fact.
My kid goes through phases. We don't restrict or give any special attention to the device and he is free to use it as he wishes apart from just before bedtime. He will go through phases of using it more or less or sometimes not at all. There have been months where he never turned it on once. Given that computing is such a massive tool for life I'm not sure why you think your kids using a computer is a negative thing?
Tesla should make a trailer with a huge battery in it for those with range anxiety for camping trips etc. You could haul your gear and never charge that way.
> The policy-makers are just cutting off the shaft and ignoring the arrow.
OT: That’s a super analogy. Is it colloquial in China?
Regarding the apartments in good school districts, how many of these exist? Are the prices this high due to these neighbourhoods being very elite/limited in supply or has Beijing property market gone crazy?
Maybe more children isn’t the answer. Not only for China. We’re pillaging the planets resources to the point where there will be nothing left for future generations unless we find a different economic model AND improve the efficiency of current technologies and methods.
Some things should be done because they are the right thing to do and not just because they are profitable. We're only hurting ourselves with this myopic approach to infrastructure especially.
I think I sit in the middle on this. I don't think it is evil but if you dig under the surface a little you will find a lot of trauma, anxiety and desperation whether it is narcissistic instagram posts or OF style porn.
I'm not there yet but when I am I will use it as an opportunity to explore leverage and how being a porn creator is typically a desperate move by those without leverage (e.g. from the article the woman was sleeping in her car and had no income). Porn needs to be seen through the backstage lens. What you see on camera is not what is really happening. /r/instagramreality on reddit is another good resource.
I can't understand your position. OF is designed in such a way that it perpetuates certain types of behaviour. You can't hand wave away TOS transgressions when the whole system is setup for weirdo's to easily and repeatedly break the TOS.
