It actually changed around the turn of the century with the events of the Spanish war. That’s when the US became an imperial power, there were many against it though
Is there an expectation to tip or is it included?
That link does not work for me
> "we're gonna turn it back on in four weeks"
We'll improve our site for 28 days, but the other 47 months of the year we will, uh...
but people are willing to pay almost anything not to die.
No, not really. This is a narrow picture of reality. People are often willing to sabotage their own bodies and drive their bodies toward obesity, clogged arteries, and liver disease while not spending the money to go to a doctor for annual checkups or flu shots.
The dollar menu is cheaper & tastier option than buying a salad and people consistently choose the cheaper, tastier option
How long can you use COBRA for after leaving an employer? I tried to find that answer, but the info was conflicting on the Internet. Is it 18 months?
> This journalist has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
> I'm not a fan of all this necessarily, but the fact checking in this article is mind-blowing.
I'm starting to suspect that half of articles today are purposeful misinformation that fits a narrative, while the other half is lazy reporting and might even rely on the misinformation as a source, just perpetuating it.
I've never read NYbooks.com before, but is a book reviewer really going to give me accurate insight into legal interpretation? Nope...
> Off topic, it's incredible what a flat tone Mark Papermaster managed to use when saying "I couldn't be more excited to present...".
That's an awesome last name though!
I think you're right
> The "underperforming" segment may now perform better now that it's free to use AWS/Azure/Google cloud tools instead of just IBM's...
The contrary point of view is that this means that either:
1. crapIBM will need to pay betterIBM for access to continue using the ERP, QRadar, Remedy, licenses, etc tools they use today. This is better for betterIBM and worse for crapIBM
2. crapIBM will need to stop using betterIBM's tools, and have to quickly negotiate new licenses/tools and spend 6+ months of their first fiscal year just moving platforms (moving SAP has often been a 2 year failed IT challenge, good luck). This will make crapIBM continue to look worse, making betterIBM's leadership look good for divesting themselves of it.

> "We divested networking back in the '90s, we divested PCs back in the 2000s, we divested semiconductors about five years ago because all of them didn’t necessarily play into the integrated value proposition,"
In Summary: We've routinely chipped away at our own value, rather than innovating and improving our products.
Those are cool, but the problem is that Twitter shows you a load of turds for any nuggets. I just want it to click your link and read a thread, instead they minimize a thread and show me politics and celebrities below, and trending stuff on the right (desktop).
On the old reddit at least (stopped using after the new launch), if I went to /r/technology I’d only see /r/technology and that was pure nuggets. You could also unsub any default subreddits
A car's width is not its interface.
Let's improve the analogy!
My proposal => that you chose to make the door handles six inches because of UX, and Oracle showed up and said they made theirs six inches before you did.
Which of these 6 bullets is fringe? For example, is your first point "you need mass to have time. Massles particles don't experience time" a fringe concept?
The startup claims its supersonic jets will eventually be able to travel from New York to London — normally a 7-hour flight — in just 3.5 hours, or Los Angeles to Sydney — typically a 15-hour trip — in 6 hours and 45 minutes.
Wow, that would be amazing! I can't wait!
Tickets will cost $5,000 per seat.
Oh, nevermind; my company will not pay for that. I wish they would though
Roger Penrose used ingenious mathematical methods in his proof that black holes are a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
Where can I learn more about these ingenious math models in a way that an adult can understand, but one that's been out of math for a while? Is there a good YouTube video?
I'm searching but it's coming up with many hour-long lectures by Roger Penrose that seem unrelated to the specifics of thise prize
By comparison there are 53 reserved words in Java and only 33 in Javascript.
Where did you find these numbers? I'm trying to find them but I can only find the Ecmascript and the number appears way higher
You can test this yourself, the commands in the webpage still work. The Mac still keeps a log of all your downloads and so this discussion is very relevant for 2020.
I have many reasons why I put them all over my house. What would you like to know that's not already been discussed many times here?
There is a tension between relative/subjective ethics and absolute/objective ethics. Philosophers seek to discover the absolute, but they cannot shake the human condition
Perhaps if they change it to "four accepted pull requests" rather than just "four pull requests", then we'd see less of the nonsense.
The cost appears to be higher to cover the development/systems cost for the app?
I don't understand the threats, risk, or solution here.
Wouldnt the energy required to do so just generate more waste / greenhouse gas?
Finding the right balance point can be difficult. The dividing lines between cultural appreciation, cultural mixing, cultural appropriation, and cultural subjugation, while sometimes obvious & clear are often much more subjective
In my opinion, this hypersensitivity was turned into a weapon to shame people who have no ill-will. Compounded with Twitter bandwagoning, it’s downright dangerous, and now people are self-censoring anything to avoid censure
Doesn't look like this has been asked anywhere on here. Couldn't he just publish internationally for countries who don't care about DoJ injunctions?
Traditionally these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead. Philosophy has not kept up with modern developments in science, particularly physics.
I'm sorry, what kind of non sensical bias is that? That's like saying that science doesn't care about truth, or is more important than truth. After all, "Truth is one of the central subjects in philosophy. It is also one of the largest." [1]
Where can I find this? I want to look up other airlines
