One thing that I've learned over the years is to cede possession of a storyline or character arc to the fans if they've come up with something better that they cherish. They will continue to build whether you like it or not. In or

This is relatively new behaviour that only showed up around fifteen years ago, during the crash. Before then publicly traded companies such as DuPont or IBM would settle for a very gradual increase if it meant they had a stable market and d

Conspiracy boards work great for this, actually. You sort events into pools based on historical weight, and arrange them within the pools based on date and relation to eachother. The big event or concurrent events go in the center pool with

As classified and intended by the sign and societal expectation, a vehicle would be any self-propelled method of transport which violates the space or near space of the park. So a toy car or boat doesn't count, but an actual car or boa

There's been a problem of lateral rather than forward progress in nearly all industries since the early 2000s. Lateral progress being a different way to do the same exact thing (a doorknob versus a lever latch for example), and forward

Because it shows how far off the floor is from where everything else is. And I did include a normal, common, hourly job as reference to show it's not much better.

People working in industries that get tips such as food services, delivery, hair dressing, and the like don't get salaries. Either they get paid hourly or commission. And because of that they aren't guaranteed a stable wage. Pushi

I wouldn't actually mind going back to DOS, like FreeDOS. Or even Windows 2000, with some updates for SSE, AVX, and other instructions. Operating systems have been getting in the way of the software that runs on top of them for over tw

I've noticed dedicated Mac rendering stations have been getting rarer and rarer in favour of Windows or Linux builds. Small businesses are buying multi-core CPU systems and then upgrading the RAM and GPU every four or five years now in

The problem everybody is ignoring with self-driving cars is that roads already are too expensive to maintain. Self driving cars will require tighter upkeep because they have lower margins for error, ballooning already ludicrous budgets to m

Forward emergency braking systems don't detect such situations. You'd be hit regardless. They only have a 170 degree field of view at the best of times in their current implementations. Somebody two hundred feet away closing at si

That's becoming increasingly harder as EuroNCAP mandates more and more of these as standard technologies that must be included. Manufacturers would much rather build one car and modify it as little as possible for all intended markets.

The Yuddites are going for purposeful exaggeration because discussing things in a nuanced manner won't get support quickly enough from people in power. Fear is a stronger immediate motivator than curiosity or distrust. The reality is t

I don't think it's so much "the plebs don't know what's bad for them, but I do" as it is "These people know something's wrong but haven't been given the vocabulary, tools, and education necessary

This is terrifying to us, but not in the way you think. Tools like this place selective pressure so that increasingly only the best of the best get paid to make stuff, and their stuff influences the data sets in the future. The rest of us g

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, but does MuseScore run versioning control? Like can you use $sudo apt-get install musescore=4_0_2 as you can with other packages like Tenacity or Dolphin?

Cost of maintenance and use is much higher than a train line, though. The cost of maintenance per year for a four lane highway is something like $300,000 per mile, and repaving is $2,000,000 per mile. Meanwhile in Europe in a high speed rai

You might've also run into the end of the free trial period. I know Toyota and Lexus give you two years of Sirius free from the time of purchase, and GM gives you OnStar Advanced Features for one year. Ford's 3G package in the Esc

I see it as no different from maintaining old software. Either keep it going yourself (by breaking the copyright protection or bypassing user restrictions), or you pay to get it fixed or find another working copy. I wouldn't expect fre

General long term workforce participation by those not in specialized or career fields has been overall declining since the mid 2000s. 2012-2017 saw a spike in specialized field jobs thanks to online media, but career positions continued to

You're not actually providing any value. You're just offsetting the cost and more than likely profiting by doing so. Renting versus owning when it comes to maintenance and repairs functions more like insurance, where you're p

Slightly off the mark there. This originally started with the proliferation of brand accounts. Social media was considered "nu-media" and thus toxic or or a burden to legacy companies. After smartphones moved social media outside

This has been a lot of my life. I wanted to be a mechanical engineer when I was younger, so I picked up a lot of the skills for that. I also became interested in architecture as a specific subset of that, which got me into learning about ci

Google over-leveraged advertising on Youtube however. Most Youtube viewers use an adblocker on PC, and adblock is becoming more common on Android with each passing month. All because AdSense went with a more lax policy of moderation for ads

I learned a long time ago that software cannot overcome the faults of hardware when it comes to image capture. Only try to obscure those faults. Many phones have apertures that are too wide, sensors that are too small, and barrels that are

From experience, no online used marketplace seems to be immune from price manipulation or inflation. KBB is used as a reference tool to find a starting point for vehicle prices, but the only way to really know how much they cost is going th

As far as I know for Microsoft, a large chunk of their revenue comes from the licensing for Visual Studio, the Azure service and the fees required for certification, and surprisingly the Xbox division. Corporate entities buying licenses for
