You must also remember to download Ghidra and debugging tools haha

I saw this in an Italian store uptown. So it was a joke. Ok, that makes sense now haha

I really wish they didn’t store them on their side like that

I have the degree and think this whole thing is a bit silly. I work at Google as a senior SWE, and have been focused on machine learning for the last 10 years. The degree taught me a few interesting things that I would have picked up on my own, and way more uninteresting things that I don’t need for my job. Despite the degree, getting a new job at a high level requires leetcode, which is similar in principle-- a toll booth that most people can pass if they pay the fee (studying).

Many things make this problematic, including basic respect for time, but especially equity. We get a largely homogenous neurotype and background because only a narrow slice of people have the ability and will to meet these requirements, and they are only very loosely correlated to job performance.

It’s a positive too though-- without these entry requirements, companies could not justify high salaries. I say this knowing it is to my detriment-- we do not need this.

It is very modern American. We have been doing the McMansion thing for the last 40 years now. Why not add such an extension to the presidential house?

They don’t seem to teach much critical thinking these days beyond a few elite institutions. The focus at the state schools I went to was churning out as many engineering grads as efficiently as possible.

When did they stop making those…

Part of why it’s this way is the expense of getting anything approved! I blame our bureaucracy as much as I blame those types

Maybe not the mainstream news_papers_ of today, but likely much of the news

Wouldn’t it make more sense for the clock to have just 3 rows or columns? Hour/minute/second.

This is typically for insurance. Some don’t insure against pet damage, but even a well-qualified tenant’s pet can cause damage that the tenant themselves would be unlikely to, and this can easily exceed the deposit. This type of liquid damage is typically not covered by rental property insurance and can be very stubborn (think, odor).

I think the issue people have with “tech” is that much of the software and devices sold take up too much space and do things people don’t want them to do, without offering choice, configurability, and options for full control

0 in our case, but we are pretty strict. Same at the first place I worked too. Big tech companies.

That’s an interesting and far more detailed view of the situation. To summarize, various people came and were violently expelled. As a matter of virtue, I disagree with violent expulsion. Also as a matter of virtue, I believe people who once lived an area should be allowed to exist there in peace. These two virtues are in tension at this part of the world.

Just as I believe it’s right for the Israelis to be there, as the first people in the area, it’s right for the Palestinians (and more general Arab groups with roots in the area) to be-- they have a stake too. It’s wrong to steal land from people living on it and to make their lives difficult. It was wrong thousands of years ago, wrong in the '40s, and is wrong today. You shouldn’t need to be Jewish to vote there or have rights. That’s horrible, from my western individualistic lens.

My goal here was to comment on the absurdity of this cycle, specifically the extremist viewpoints that one side or another should be entirely removed from the area. I tried to illustrate that with the Native American example. These groups of people need to put the violence aside and figure out how to live together. Other countries need to stop picking favorites and avoid going beyond promoting lasting peace and mutual respect in the region.

Excuse my uncareful wording-- I took a lot more time to write this post. Hopefully it is more precise and clear.

I suppose Russia’s invasion is definitely imperialism, but I don’t see anyone saying both sides are at fault.

I don’t know of any cases of imperialism recently, though I see what appear to be conflicts incorrectly framed as such.

For example, many say this about the Israeli/Arab conflict. However, this conflict is thousands of years old. The Israelis solidly lost a war to keep their land in the BC era, then after WWII, leaders decided to undo the loss, again by force. Predictably, the Arabs, having lived there for thousands of years now (since they were Babylonians!) were not happy. It is not simple.

The Israeli return may have been orchestrated by the imperial powers, but I would argue this is not imperialism or even a bad thing. Consider the colonial invasion of the Americas. That was clearly imperialism because my ancestors had never lived there, and had no claim to the land. We just wanted it. At best, we thought we could make better use of it than the natives. That was not the case with Israel, whose ancestors largely were the natives.

Of course, persecuting Palestinians is wrong. Imagine if thousands of years from now, the American Indians, supported by the international community, forced Americans to adopt their customs and religion or leave. That would not be right either, even though maybe they should have their land back!

We need to share in these cases, and are unfortunately bad at sharing.

I think this was a joke

Or the post training is messed up

Why don’t they do lay-down-only seats? Seems like you’d save the same amount of space or more with vastly more comfort.

There are some people who own a bunch of properties and their job is maintaining them and dealing with the paperwork. And then there are some people who passively collect income and have a management company do that with no real connection to the place…
