I disagree. I think the point is reasonable. I personally find it useful to refer to my past searches/activity, especially in a professional context, and it would be unintuitive to me if such a feature was turned off by default.

Really doubt it's fake. A few years ago I got a random text from an acquaintance that said something out of context. I responded and she replied she had no clue what I was talking about. After googling it turned out that there had been

It does suck that in OP's case they caught the wrong end of this. But again, that's why you carry your own insurance with your own coverage. You're not just paying for the literal indemnification of auto damages, you're

It sounds like you were just cheap, didn't want to purchase comprehensive coverage, then that came back to bite you. This sucks, but is hardly a scam. Even worse, it sounds like you even understood what comprehensive coverage does (cov

This is a fantastic summary of everything actuarial science can touch on. I started my career as a junior actuary at a small insurance startup and was fortunate to be able to meaningfully contribute to many of these areas because we didn&#x

Well for myself, most of the time when I start working somewhere I sign agreements stating I won't be using drugs/alcohol on the clock. So even though I may feel it's personally okay and the agreement is silly, I would still

No, definitely not. In a strict sense, because it is not a federally scheduled drug and I didn't make any agreement with my employer not to use it on the clock. The same argument applies to alcohol, but I've noticed that cultural

The point is it's not fake work. In fact these types of problems just become harder the further up you go. When you're upper management, now you have the problem of wondering if managers are doing their job correctly/efficien

In my case your guess is completely correct, as I learned data.table in a financial company analyzing large insurance datasets :) I apologize if I came across as a hardliner. Sometimes I feel like data.table is not well advertised for how c

the easiest way to think about it is data.table is for people who are doing a lot of exploratory data analysis every day. If you're doing the same thing over and over, it makes sense to create a DSL specific to that task and optimize t

dplyr API is not ideal in my experience. Overly verbose and confusing group/melt/cast operators. I much much prefer data.table. In your edit you mention concision, data.table is practically the platonic ideal of that!

Very interesting. When reading this I was wondering how/why Hertz managed to make this a criminal rather than civil matter. It feels to me like the ideal way to handle it would be indeed treat it as a "conversion". Contract s

I don't understand what you mean. I wouldn't imagine being featured on Spotify Wrapped is a goal for artists in and of itself. It's just a by-product of the fact that they had a lot of listeners. I can understand the frustrat

I think if anything it's more likely that WSL/WSLg development continues to the point where you can do the inverse of all the VFIO stuff going on. Run Windows/Hyper-V as a base layer but boot directly into the linux DE of you

You're right they are different features and you could have one without the other. But imo it's the implementation of them together you see in most linux wms (i3, bspwm, sway, etc) that makes my example scenario work so well. When

For me, yeah this would be a much different experience. I use this feature all the time, to select anything from the title of a song on Spotify to a phone number embedded in an image on the web.
