This happens CONSTANTLY in Atlanta. They'll spend a bunch of money fixing a road, then a month later Public Works digs a huge hole and leaves a steel plate on it for a year, then patch it with either concrete that is an inch or two bel

You're explaining it ok, it's just not a workable idea. You're talking about taking away a fundamental aspect of economics, which if even if it were possible would be a huge blow to efficiency of markets. It's like sayin

I don't want to watch a movie cranked out by an AI. I want to see a movie that came from another human's mind because they have an idea they want to communicate with me. LLMs have nothing to "say".

The internet has absolutely succeeded in expanding access to information. The problem is that disinformation is still information and it's spread just as easily, except it's more "exciting".

You replace the crystal on the motherboard with a faster one. I did it on 386s and 486s. Adrian Black recently did it with a 286 too I think.

Agriculture took thousands of years of work in selectively breeding crop plants. For a long time it produced little food for a lot of effort, so until it became easier reliably grow good food plants, it was not widely practiced.

Fascism is not socialism. One can have a fascist government and capitalist economy. Examples: Italy and Germany in the 1930s and 40s.

I'm ok with "you need to leave your client open" as a requirement. I'm not a fan of "some people won't get it so no one can have it." Mozilla, however, loves that kind of reasoning.

Correct and there are final patches already released for the affected lines. The CPUs that die Intel is replacing with an extended warranty.

And, as I sadly expected, no response, no evidence, no showing me where I'm wrong. So I have no better idea than I did before. I don't know how a country can continue to exist when citizens won't even talk to each other. I&#x

Yes, I HAVE considered that, it's why I keep ASKING Trump fans. I even stated in my comment that I never get real responses. I get responses like yours, which is "you're wrong, it's been debunked" but I'm never

Everyone learns when they're punched in the face. The question is what less will be taught? So far he's been able to tell them everything is someone else's fault, but when he's in the driver's seat, who will he blam

The reason it doesn't make sense to people like him (and me) is that we look at all the times he promised to release the health care plan, the January 6 incident, the calls to states to "find" votes, the constant complaining

The single most impactful book on my mental health was Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence. The Amygdala chapters were truly life altering for me in helping me overcome a lot of childhood trauma. You learn how that little bit works

I think it's a terrible policy and were I a gun buyer I'd absolutely let those companies know I wont' support their brands until they stop. I'd even think about starting a class-action for invasion of privacy.

I'm not defending the policy, I think it's abhorrent. No company should be allowed to share identifiable data without the customer's consent.

It's usually either another CRM, like Nutshell, Sugar, Zoho, or a dozen other CRMs, or pointing out that what they built out Salesforce is another type of app all together, and direct them to a proper app for that market. The latter ty

I have, and I've helped several companies move away from it with no negative impact on business and a HUGE savings. But in a lot it's a flex, a demand from an exec or board member who wants to tell people they're on Salesforc
