We could also stop sending so much to other nations currently at war, making them proxy wars for the US.

Does this rate not also cause personal mortgages to rise, due to the increase? This effects monthly payments, on already agreed contracts, which makes homeowners struggle, no?

I will try that. I appreciate your reply. :)

Correcting numbers is one thing but your post reads like it’s trying to say OP wasn’t good enough so the point is invalid. Let me state it clearer: For industry directly related to life, health, safety, shelter, food, and education, profit

Solid thoughts - I neglected to let on that in my case the seniors lament about how new tech sucks, like python being just another perl… etc. They are “tear down prove it to me while I call things retarded” sometimes. Thats where mgmt shou

I agree. This all reads like a solid reminder that two things happen in that realm of highly VC funded systems: - Investment/money management often happens by people who are very new to this process and make swift sometimes stupid deci

I currently work with senior engs who are really more like reworked mech engs. Who want to use old versions of eclipse, on win8, install new copies of the same for diff projects, want the new associate level engs (23yo, first job, etc) to w

So a neat story … but it trends like “newbie does big thing. Possibly messes up but is ok.” Like a lot of people in startups. Some of which fail. Some due to svb. Some to other reasons. Same “newbie taking serious action” trend. Like 17&#x

I disagree - it’ll be bailed out in the same manner by which “pro labor” (yet actually a scab) Biden promised to help the workers at railways - but instead made it illegal to strike. Rep and Dem alike - this election season is going to be w

“Interest” is not the same as “risk with investment.” You don’t open a savings acct and get told “you could lose this money.” You’re given a sold-to-you contract from the bank for a specific rate of return for the privilege of them being

Government control of something, while a risk that may result in “vogon-like” systems, is still better than for profit shareholder driven corporations. People have been known to overthrow their own governments because of fuckery. Corporatio

I have seen them jammed. Replaced with straight wire, etc. Also where I live has houses that predate electricity - in my area of the northeast US, for instance. So some of the wiring is, most definitely, old. Heck, some old fuse systems ha

In my area of CT the walmarts will use cashiers assigned to door duty to prompt customers for bag checks. It’s got to be scary for them and frankly it seems like poor use of a person. They can affect no change at that point in the transact

Your land? You don’t own it “outright” - stop paying taxes for a few years. The town will come and arrest you, taking the land by threat of death . (They’ll use police.)

An issue will appear down the road when you have title in hand and can’t fully confirm the car is “clear” of all ability from them to brick it or features. Who knows - maybe a lot like the John Deere thing - a title may transform into a lon

Sometimes it’s reading about how to do things idiomatic to that language - or system - that solves the problem. I’m saying that it feels healthier to me that I take the time to read when my adhd and energy allows.

I think we agree - most definitely. I think we disagree on what can be done. I, personally, am trying to learn the “slow” way by “rtfm” ing, etc. It’s just today’s era makes it so easy, when tired after work, to plop on a person with a nic

Why would anyone be surprised? (“If it’s free you’re the product.”) I don’t like closed-source, but if I want to use a vendor product (which is what this is) - maybe via a license means there’s a chance it’s also acting evil?

Try the Seek app! It’s real good at the job of going from pic to species!

Ohh cool. Thanks for the insight! Yeah a photo in a park is fine… a photo in a home, maybe different lol.

by flandish 4y ago
Oh neat idea! I am most often mobile - but might try this approach. The Seek app is slow to start and has a warning dialog every time.

by flandish 4y ago
I totally agree! I use both of their apps and sometimes the bird apps by Cornell. iNaturalist claims “seek” uses on device “ai” to help find species.

I love the app “seek” by iNaturalist for finding out more about bugs and plants and such. https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app
