You cannot outsource quality to another role, or you can but you'll be slower and have more bugs.

How will they structure that for you to not show up on the balance sheet then? I'm not aware of a way, and the way you described wasn't true. All you now offered is "bankers can do it", but how without having to report it?

Wanting to be a good person is different than being a good person. I said the former not the latter. The former is about intent behind actions and what you strive to be. The latter is about thinking people are born in boxes.

What they were saying is they prefer people to behave because they want to be good people which are part of a good society than to be good people simply as a byproduct of fear of jail.

This is not true at all, leases appear on balance sheets. It's not the 80s anymore

See Apple's FY2025 10-K, the leases are in page 42 under "Lease-Related Assets and Liabilities", which shows:

Operating leases

- Other current liabilities: $1,579 million

- Other non-current liabilities: $10,911 million

Finance leases

- Other current liabilities: $538 million

- Other non-current liabilities: $692 million

Total lease liabilities: $13,720 million

It's hard to believe something when I saw the opposite work in practice. Removing QA makes developers care about production. You can say now they are wasting part of their time doing what QA did but to me it's not wasted time. Incidents went down both times I saw it happen, and stayed down.

And a coffee place near me charges €10 for a strawberry matcha drink, but we don't have to purchase either.

Because it happens with other things like recycling rules for most trash? How many years of EU exporting trash to places without regulation now?

Yes but this website seems to assume that one will need to Google what a screwdriver is for an hour before they start assembling anything.

This makes little sense but I guess they get little traffic so pretty much any database will work for them.

If traffic grows they will find problems, then limitations, then move to postgres. And if not it's fine. Story old as time.

I'm sorry but anyone that sees a multi million or billion dollar bill on an account that does nowhere near that should not be scared. It's obviously a mistake. Stories like this have happened with banks in my country. Check your account and you have billions in there. Guess what happened to those that withdrew money? The judge told them any reasonable person would know this is a bug. Had to give it back. Same thing here, any reasonable person doesn't get scared.

other times it's AWS regions going dark for hours.

They have the best uptime of all major cloud providers.

You are misremembering, what it you're referring to is the Target pregnancy prediction score which was advertised a lot in the early 2010s as the way "big data" was going to change the world because they figured pregnant women bought similar things

Indeed this is mostly performative by the police because the user would switch apps, turn off the phone screen, or any other easier way as you describe.

So how do you agree? You're saying the opposite they said.

Everyone is always thinking, just many of us not about what we're doing! Sorry

Take battery box, hack it with katana, stuff from inside goes into bucket (and some splashes on you), repeat. Look up videos there's plenty.

Mercurial had by far the best UX, never had to read anything to learn it. I just pretend that I'm using mercurial when using git and nuke local repo if I mess up. Been doing it for my whole career.

If you've ever seen a video of Nigerians "recycling" lead batteries you'd be hard pressed to call it that. Katana in one hand, bucket on the floor, no shoes, let's go.

Great gotcha

I've used that for about 15 years because I live abroad, it's called Google translate.

The need for memes knows no bounds. In short order the majority of power usage worldwide will be for compute and newer generations will wonder how it took so long.

It's not circular!

And if it is, it's not a problem!

And if it's a problem, it doesn't affect me!

Just because you picked 2 guys it doesn't mean nobody else had any different ideas. What a weird position to have, unless you literally read everything. There's so many theories. You didn't even include religions

and still nobody has gone beyond Aristotle and Kant in giving anything close to a rigorous definition of life as such

You stopped reading after the 1800's? Schrödinger told us life is what feeds on negative entropy and that is pretty good.

Losing is a state of mind

For people that stay inside all day on the computer I can see why

You know those big fields of panels in China? Where do you think they all will end up at the end of 25 years? To talk about nuclear waste is to be intentionally lying, nuclear waste amount generated is TINY.

Maybe on this site but what about all the other ones? ;)

Solar and wind take up a bunch of space and generate a bunch of waste after the panels are decommissioned, plus the wind generators are ruining every single landscape we have. With 5 nuclear stations per country you could cleanup so much of Europe.
