It is less funding. They didn't need the money. Maybe you also want to call profits "funding" because they help with the mindset of building a company.

I used to do this sometimes with C++ when I realized that clearing out a vector with lots of objects was slow. Is Rust basically based on unique_ptr? One problem with this approach was that you still had to wait for these threads when the a

“The real problem adults have vs. kids is available time to spend thinking about things (because they have other responsibilities), not raw learning speed.“ I think this is spot on. As adult you have a big pile of past experiences and respo

I don’t want gamification but having the data is good. It would also be nice if I could set the shower to a certain temperature instead of guessing every time.

I totally agree that the looters are hurting the cause and I wish some of the leaders would step up and tell the looters to stop. But considering that one side is doing this professionally and has the right to use lethal violence I think we

I think to a large part this is a consequence of the racist policies the country had for a long time creating a permanent underclass. This will probably take some more generations to heal. I also think that the US in general celebrates viol

That's actually very valid. I know somebody who works at a crime lab with >100k salary, lives in a cheap area of CA and can retire at 50 with full pension. Pretty sweet gig and if they want more money after retirement they can do so

This alienation is what will cause more and more problems for society. It used to be nobility that had no idea of the lives of regular people. Now it’s the managerial and investor class who are losing touch with the rest of society by contr

That’s actually a good agreement if not done in a predatory way. Which it is almost to be guaranteed if the finance guys set the terms of such an agreement.

Same at a neighboring city. They want to lay off workers due to COVID while they have doubled administrative staff over the last few years. And none of the administrators is going to get laid off. The plan is to have parks being cleaned by

Irony would be if the police had been arrested. This is just a continuation of bad behavior.

Trump is just a big bully who loses courage when he gets pushback. Look at how nice he is to the North Korea guy while constantly bashing and demonizing other leaders of democratic countries.

Yes. Looting hurts people that have nothing to do with the protests. Protecting them should be highest priority. I totally agree with the protests but I think looting is wrong and unproductive and hurts their own cause.

This stuff used to look high tech. Now it’s computer screens that look high tech. I wonder what’s next. How will a control room in 50 years look or will there be no control rooms?

You always have to look at the facts and not align with a party. Maybe one party does more stuff you like but if the other party does something you want, you should support it.

I am pretty senior and remote now. I would agree that the potential for promotion has gone down a little due to lack of visibility. My strategy is to carve out a niche for myself where I can produce high value stuff that usually doesn'

Now double or triple the speed, make it much louder and you have a jet.

A lot of Americans think they can make it themselves without help from others. Smart people don’t believe that and make the government subsidize their stuff left and right. Often while deluding themselves into thinking that they are “self

Same here. I am totally terrified of being in an accident or having a serious disease and then getting wiped out financially as I have seen others in similar situations. If you are lucky things usually work out but it can easily happen tha
