Top subreddits are pretty much all like that. The smaller subs are really what makes reddit a great place. Often as the smaller subs grow bigger, I tend to find myself unsubbing from them.
In this case though we've examples of how bad it can get. Iran comes to mind. As this progresses we'll see what happens to countries who didn't attempt any quarantine or drastic measures at all.
I'm seeing it where I am at least. It used to 10-12 dollars per lb now it's down to 6 dollars a lb. A month ago I got some at 8 dollars a lb and I already thought it was a steal.
There are services that exists that checks if a person is real or not (requiring Id, passports, real facial captures, etc). Surprised that twitter didn't even do the most basic checks.
I'm amazed that people seem to ignore that EVERYBODY has parents and grandparents. I fear not for myself but my parents or grandparents catching it.
They're giving them a delusion of freedom so that most won't realize they're censored or passively accept it. If the government goes all out then it might cause a revolt. Soft tactics are always scarier than hard tactics.
The shitty thing about Equifax is that there's no way to not be a part of their credit score system. For Visa and MC, I can choose to not use their cards and go with something else. With Equifax, I can't stop using their service to stifle their business. I'm amazed the government is not intervening in cases like these where the end consumers have no choice in the matter.
Personally I've always called them flaky tests. I agree with the article that flaky tests shouldn't be ignored completely. But the issue is they take much more effort than usual test failures to debug. So it comes down to a balancing act of how much effort you're willing to spend debugging these vs the chance that it's an actual issue.
In my few years of automation experience, I've only seen 2 actual instances where the flaky tests were an actual issues and one of them should've been found by performance testing. Almost all of the rest were environment related issues. It's tough testing across all of the different platforms without running into some environment instability.
I think you're onto something. Humans have started to tamper in their own evolution, whether good or bad.
This is something brought up in Buddhism as change of state. Basically happiness spawns from the change state: going from normal to better state brings happiness. Same applies for going from a down state back to normal. In this case from doing something miserable back to normal. This is important because suffering follows the same logic and Buddhism emphasizes on recognizing these change of states. This helped explain the emptiness or sadness I often feel after a big reunion with family members, a big party, doing something exciting, etc. I think it also helps explain why people chasing after the constant highs will never attain the happiness they're looking for since after staying high for a period of time, it'll become the new norm.
"First identified in the ear of a woman in Japan in 2009 (“auris” is Latin for “ear”), the germ has spread around the globe, mostly appearing in hospitals and nursing homes, where it afflicts people with weakened immune systems."
Looks like it managed to spread without much hindrance due to its immunity. Wonder just how common it'll get since it's so hard to get rid of.
Artificial scarcity (like diamonds) to keep their rank and prestige. If everybody gets to go to MIT, then it's just another regular college and the prestige of being the "best" in order to get in will be lost. I want to know what rest of the ranks after top 10 look like and how many students they're taking.
I feel like most people think credit cards are free. They are not, which is why visa and MC are billion dollar companies. The cost has just been shifted in such a way that it's not easily identifiable so people ignore it. There's definitely a cost. If the Bitcoin network can offer a lower overall cost, it could provide actual benefits.
From the way you describe it, if the stabilizer reaches the point where human force is insufficient to bring it back then they're toast since MCAS is tied into the electronic stabilizer.
How did this scenario get missed during testing? You'd think they would do extra testing around the new changes.
Ha, for once all of the coin shilling resulted in something productive.
I forgot where I read it but an article explained the way credit card companies hide how the fees have been transferred to the customers. The merchant takes the burden but they jack up the prices of the goods which hits the consumers.
The reward point systems of the credit cards work the same way. Merchants jack up the price of the goods to be part of the reward point system which in the end hits the customers. In fact, the people that don't get a credit card with reward points actually end up losing by not joining.
I thought it's interesting that everything in the end gets put on the customers. It's the price we pay for convenience. I just don't like the way it's hidden to make it look like we're not actually the ones paying for it.
Funny that this article shows up today right after a big update (I think within the last few days) where the most basic message notification broke. Yep, it literally doesn't show any message notifications unless I manually open up the app. Kinda useless in this state. This is probably not affecting many people since I haven't see anybody complain about it.
I've lived in Germany and there are still clear race issues left in certain areas but I can't speak for police personally. It's all very hush hush as well which is one of the reason I dislike Germany and would not live there again. I live in the U.S. now and for comparison, there are some tensions here too but it's on the surface and in general much better.
Your post actually makes me question why it's on the top? Who's up voting it when a simple google search proves your statment wrong?
The thing is back in the 80's, China was starting from a low point. It's easy to catch up which is what they've done but like the original poster said, it's much tougher to take the lead position. I agree with him that the Chinese culture makes it harder to innovate.
Yes it has existed before but never so readily available. I believe credit card was first introduced in 1950's and modern mortgages in 1930's.
I feel like the article missed something: the tech companies often design their apps to be addictive. It's part of their product.
Maybe it's a good trade off for this to become default behavior in browsers (in the background unseen by users).
I think the increased efficiency brought by technology produced an ever faster pace in work, social life, and just about everything else. It takes time to talk and connect with another person which is getting harder to come by. Most of the time, you're getting swept away doing work, looking at a post that just showed up, reading the latest tweet by the president, etc.
It's "Open source". That's the whole point of open sourcing code. As long as the lab attached the license provided it's good. This is completely different than copying code from private internal repositories.
Whenever anyone asks me: why do you live? Where do we come from? I just ask back: why do you care?
Looking at what's contained in black tea, 20 mg, yes. I wonder if this helps explain the popularity of tea and the general idea that drinking tea helps you calm down.
That's the problem, they wouldn't just moan for 30 minutes. They would spend money to have the tax reduced which I'm assuming is the only reason the tax isn't at 0% because it's not worth it for them to push it below 15%.
I completely agree. I think Price was just a terrible employee that created a lose/lose situation for everybody.
"The implications of sexism are too obvious." How do you see this? ArenaNet fired Peter Fries (male) for doing the exact same thing.
