I’d also suggest losing the “old guy arrogance” before giving it another shot.

> It’s frustrating that diversity efforts visibly took a backseat with React leadership Who cares?!? Imagine trying to justify your decision to choose a framework to a manager by talking about their diverse leadership.

It’s mind boggling that Apple won their case against Epic in my opinion since they really do the exact same thing as Google. The only legal difference as pointed out in the Google trial is that Google doesn’t control the hardware that the a

Walmart sells controllers with a $4 3 year warranty that they claim covers everything. I’m going that route this time and will see what happens in 12 months when it breaks.

I’m still waiting for the first ps5 controller that doesn’t break from controller drag after 10-14 months. Seriously, there needs to be a class action at this point.

The trick is to go to the CVS and Walgreens on the strip and load up with relatively cheap beer and avoid the exhortation from the casinos.

Disagree with this - I was in Iceland this summer when the volcano erupted (ironically at Blue Lagoon just 2 hours before it erupted) and people there just go about their daily business like nothing happened. There was a 5.2 earthquake the

The solution is to provide incentives to new entrants. Discounts on spectrum purchases or reserving certain bands for a separate auction only for new entrants. It’s done regularly in other countries where they’ve already figured out that 4

It’s for red/green colorblind people. Obviously you don’t want someone who can’t tell the difference between red and green while driving.

I disagree with this. I’ve had 2 dogs the past 20 years (2 sets of 2 dogs) and they absolutely tire each other out. The chase squirrels together, they chase each other around the house, they play fight. Dogs are used to being part of a pack

I've read a few place that the population of Neanderthals peaked around 10,000 and the lack of genetic diversity was what contributed to their downfall and replacement by Homo Sapiens. However, I found this interesting article that tr

Don’t dismiss the possibility of IBM getting bought out for those easy cash flow government contracts. Someone like Amazon or Oracle could potentially goggle them up in 5-7 years when their stock price grows and IBM’s stagnates or drops.

The same can be said of BMWs, Philip Patek, Louis Vuitton, and dozens of other luxury brands. People like buying status signals, but it doesn’t signal how “non-advanced” we are. It’s how society has always worked and will always work.

You obviously haven’t seen the video of a diamond being hit by a hammer against a steel anvil…and it was fine, even putting a dent into the anvil. You have to cleave it in just the right spot to split it - blunt force isn’t going to do it.

It’s 100% the point. It’s such a common and accepted thing here that most sites just have “S & H” during the check out process. To advertise free shipping in the US implies the S&H is free. To suddenly spring a “handling” fee at the

“Shipping and handling” is a ubiquitous term in U.S. online stores and I’d challenge you to find any site that separates them out like Fanatics does.

No! Not when adults fight over new boxes arriving at stores and not when a pack of 5 cards goes for $25. It’s an industry that time and again builds up a massive bubble only to see it pop from over supply.

100% this! The quality at Fanatics has fallen off a cliff the last few years to the point that I won’t ever order anything from there again. They have descriptions of some “performance t-shirt” material that turns out to the be low quality

I don’t know about Bonilla personally, but this payment structure is a good way to protect athletes from themselves. 70% of professional athletes in the US have financial hardships shortly after they retire. (1) 70%!!! After making million

A resume only tells you what she did in the past (or way past in her case), not what she could potentially do in the future. And not to sound ageist (I’m old as well), but she’s almost 70 and at some point she won’t be in touch with what “t
