For me it's not even that, it's simply that The Brothers Karamazov and other novels like it have historicity and depth to them in a way that modern-style light popcorn novels never do. The hardness therefore is more incidental th

Off the top of my head, every book I can think of that provides deep insight into the human condition does require putting in some work. Let's take as an example "Night" by Elie Wiesel, a book that is written so simply it is

Admittedly The Brothers Karamazov has a lot of characters, but, it does run linearly! And it's not so hard to refer to the Wikipedia article for a character list as necessary. I think the problem is some people expect to not have to do

This is a bizarrely anti-English take. There's appreciation for the beauty of the language for literature/poetry in every language, as far as im aware. Look at Japanese poetry for one obvious example that takes appreciation of be

Fwiw the show I saw was in a closed arena. I actually wish the roof had been open as the closed roof acoustics were awful, but you can imagine why they want to eliminate weather as a factor.

Can confirm that everyone there is taking shitloads of photos and videos with their phones and I've never seen the stadium IR emitter appear in any of them.

That's just one of many components of what you pay them in total, though.

A reasonable scenario to me seems to be: An automatic "upgrade to the enterprise plan" requirement was triggered, and then in the process of the sales calls to make that happen, Cloudflare got serious eyes on the customer for the

Eh, your traffic is a total cost you pay per month. That's how I would look at it. The one figure I know best of all is annual revenue, and how our annual revenue this year is on track to do compared to last year's. As far as ex

$250/month sounds like nothing at all for a site with a claimed 4M MAU. The enterprise rate of $10k/month sounds a lot more reasonable. If everything presented here is accurate, I'm not understanding the sharp discrepancy i

AlphaGo, AlphaFold, and Waymo FSD are all released in the sense that you can see them actually working in the real world. Those all took much longer to put together than whatever rushed features were released to catch up with OpenAI, howeve

It's annoying because we have dedicated 240V circuits for all major installed appliances in US households (drying machine, electric stove, HVAC), as well as, increasingly, 240V circuits in the garage for EV charging. But no one is putt

Yeah, good point on the constant power draw too. I forgot to mention the last bit of kit I use to make my simple at-home coffees: an electric kettle. (And speaking of which, if I ever build my own home, I'm putting 240V counter-top o

I'm not sure I'd even want a Jura in a home environment. There's so much cleaning and maintenance required! My style is more like good hand grinder (simple, very low maintenance, doesn't take up counter-top space) and

In my experience people don't care about those markings at all. They'll park anywhere the car can physically fit into that won't unreasonably block other car traffic (and sometimes even then ...).

Not everywhere! Horses were banned in Rome (and many other places) for exactly this reason.

And they're excellent barriers for preventing people in wheelchairs or using walkers to get through at all.

It would encourage buildings to lower asking rents as vacancy periods grow longer, rather than having incentives to leave a commercial unit vacant, as with my proposal they'd already be taking a hit to valuation anyway as soon as the u

> Instead a building, or anything at all, is worth exactly how much other people are willing to pay for it. No more, no less. The point you're missing is that buildings need valuations much more frequently than they are sold. CRE i

by CydeWeys 2y ago
You have to look at the actual income statements to see how much they're actually being paid in a year, and look at the signed leases to see how much the building will actually make in future years. It's all part of due diligence

They eat the fees because operating physical branches is much more costly still. And if you're truly abusing it and costing them massively with fees, they can always close your account.

Nope, see other comments. My interpretation is correct.

That's the thing, it's not clear that the Python core engineers are more talented than other Google SWEs on average. You have all sorts of talented engineers working on all sorts of random projects within Google.

If that's not their intent, they're certainly doing a good job of it. The people running them are cosplaying running a union, without fundamentally understanding what a union really is.

None of those depend on the project you're working on, which is my point.

Then I don't understand the point you were making in your first post.

I would support the AWU if they were actually monomaniacally focused on worker issues like they're supposed to be (specifically I'd love to see a main focus on preventing offshoring). But instead it seems like they spend most of
