Why isn't it? If your situation has reached the point where Excel is no longer a workable solution, you need a full application. I've never seen an Access application that didn't grow to a point where it wasn't a glitchy

If you're ok with your data being duplicated in multiple files, you're ok with Excel. If you want your data centralized, with the application being a portal to that data, you use a database with a frontend built in your choice of

No. Fuck Access. Access is a useless piece of software that serves no purpose well. Either your data is small enough to be managed by Excel or your data is complex enough to be better served by a database and frontend. Dealing with the idio

Wordpress is more than blogs. You can run a whole ass site off of the Wordpress platform. You don't even need to have a blog. But the point is still, Wordpress charges people. YouTube and Twitch do not. They have a weird broadcast tele

I think the caveat might be "until the logic is explained to them". Kind of like the Monty Hall problem. Some people intuitively get it. They understand that opening one door does not change the odds that they picked the wrong doo

The diversion/detention can be as innocuous as blocking off a road for a parade or preventing people from walking into an area with an active shooter. In both cases, I'd be prevented from executing perfectly legal actions even tho

This is a red herring. I don't think WordPress pays anyone anything. They built a platform and the will also provide hosting. You can download WordPress from wordpress.org and just run it. Or you can go to wordpress.com and buy a whole

You could just cross out the OSS part and say licenses. China has a ton of copyright infringing knockoffs of anything remotely popular outside its borders. For a long time, companies like Microsoft took it as granted that the vast majority

You do understand I'm describing the problem, not advocating for the system, right? And presumption of innocence is a matter during the trial. Police can and have diverted, detained, and otherwise interfered with people who have commit

They're not technically innocent. Nor are they technically guilty. Their status is in question. And yes, the entire system is messed up. These people are being treated as definitely guilty when their status is in question. Sometimes fo

You have issues with training and promotion in the cases of judges and lawyers. Not insurmountable, but there will be a lag if we were to say "We need X% more lawyers now". You also have the issue that in order to guarantee a tria

I think part of the issue is the sheer scale of the problem. If I have 366 people in jail today awaiting trial and I try one case a day on average, it would be a year before you get to the last person. Yes, the problem is alleviated with mo

No, that sounds if not outright correct, at the very least in the ballpark of close enough. And I'm not totally up on the transaction fees, but they're typically in the low single digit percentages. And you only get hit once. So e

Yes. We did. There's rocks on the moon. That's it. We went collect moon rocks several times. We put a flag there, we put reflectors up there. The moon itself is rather boring. Saying your question is "good faith" doesn&#

Yeah, it makes their kerfuffle with Apple look a bit different. Because Apple charges 30%. And Apple can keep that if there is a refund. In this case, Epic is returning money. They would ideally be net zero on this whole debacle. You mistak

I would imagine not. Anyone who makes a significant amount of money is encouraged to park it in various money-making vehicles. Restaurants, bars, sports teams, etc. I think Newman is unique in that his major venture uses its profits for cha

Just looked up how much of the company Reynolds actually owns. About 20% - 25%. So he's getting roughly around a $300 million payday out of this. That's roughly double his current reported net worth. Not bad at all.

"This will cause a bank run, so you gotta a make a run on the bank to get your money first." I mean, I kind of get it. That first 10% could very likely be people who know something you don't. So you use it as an indicator. Bu

Like everything, it really depends on the person. I also like to espouse a philosophy that problems should be investigated from inside out. Start with what you had direct control over, assume the issue is with something you did. Then work y

The people who style themselves the ROC don't feel that way. They would say that mainland China is occupied by an illegal government. These aren't my opinions, these are generally the opinions of the people involved. Which I feel
