I think this move could harm US in two ways: It will reduce the immigrant diversity which might make the population skew towards the biggest immigrant population such as from India and Mexico which are not in this list. Second it will remove USA as top destination for talent, which will help stop brain drain from these countries causing their local industry to benefit and thereby reducing the edge of US companies.

Basically, just like the airlines, the hotels are saying if you are such a broke destitute to be able to upgrade to our premium tier, then go suffer in the smell of your own shit.

Agree 100% the website is very well layed out. The information is presented in very readable format. After a single scroll I was able to fully understand the issues and conclude that the guy has a valid case. Too bad for Volvo for having a horrible customer support

The title of the article is misleading. Making C and python talk to each other implies, calling python from C and calling C from python. The article only covers the former.

   Thank you @Tesla for engineering the best passive safety in the world. I walked away without a scratch.
I walked away without a scratch. This could have easily killed an innocent pedestrian or bicyclist. How is this best safety engineering? If the FSD failed there should have been some secondary system to detect an imminent collision and apply brakes.

I think this will have some interesting consequences. The US dollar used to be backed by gold, then Nixon ended that and then it got tied to oil, so in effect it was still backed by something tangible. The rest of the world currencies being somewhat linked to dollar were also indirectly tied to oil. Now the dollar is backed by nothing and by extension the rest of the currencies. In that sense dollar is now just a digital currency.

Besides with the attacks happening right now on commercial ships in Gulf of Aden. It could become very expensive to bring anything out from these fabs or providing raw material

I think there are a number of advantages of having extra staff if a company can afford it. 1. Talent is pulled away from competition that can threaten Google's dominance. 2. Talent is prevented from creating their own startups that can threaten Google's dominance. 3. Engineers are available to handle extra work that suddenly shows up leaving the others to keep focusing on "real work". 4. Engineers are available to do work that is not "real". Meaning work that nobody wants to do but still has to be done. 5. Hiring more people shows that the company is growing causing the stock value to go up. 6. Firing people can also cause the stock price to go up because it shows company is doing something to cut costs.

By removing the wealthiest or highest-paying customers from a line, there’s little incentive to advocate for better service for the rest.

Why would the business want to have a better service, the long lines is the means for the business to make people pay up the premium for cutting the lines. Ideally they would want even longer lines so more people pay the premium

Well if any one can log into paypal and open and close cases, they might as well just use the paypal account to pay themselves directly or buy stuff. I don't understand why the seller had to use FB to scam people when they could manipulate the paypal account directly

This is outrageous. Only a small percentage of owners know this kind of tricks. Imagine the environmental damage created by thousands of users throwing away perfectly usable cartridges. I always feel bad about throwing away laser printer cartridges, they have so many components that are working just fine, there should be a way to just refill the toner and reuse it.

I don't get it, you are still applying the force in the same direction. I mean if you rotate the 'wrong' picture by 90 degrees you will see that they are both the same thing

I never understood why US uses a wider pin on two prong plugs for the hot wire. Browsing the web site I got the idea that no one in the world cares about polarity, both pins are the same size. This is a huge usability issue for people with weak eyesight or when plugging in something in a tight area such as behind a couch or bed.
