Alot of executives must believe it's due to piracy. A lot of people think it's because they're woke. It's not even that - they're just bad movies. I watched Moana a few times and realized they're making funda

Trade schools, the armed forces, and jobs with educational assistance work for those who can’t swing student loans. There’s also not a single state whose state school isn’t worth the money.

Really? Because I can draw up a pretty simple and direct plan for any kid coming out of high school to make six figures in six years, provided the kid didn’t screw around in high school. The American Dream is alive and well as long as you a

Characters are 2 dimensional That's the great twist of the movie though. Indiana is presented as an American Nazi-hating playboy thrill-seeking heroic professor...who is also into history or something. Belloq is presented as a French

It’s a cargo cult. Dune itself is pretty standard sci-fi. The sequels are where it goes from good to great. People deify the first one because they think that’s where the great reputation comes from, not understanding that the really intere

Game quality today just doesn’t support such a system. The only strong aspect of design these days is the art which, ironically, is often the quickest to seem dated.

Lists like these remind me of how far I have to go as a person. I can and do do a lot of these to the point where I’d say they’re all within immediate reach. However, having the time, energy, and drive to be able to collate this list, self-

I wish it had. C# makes it effortless to write high-level and low-level code that lives together. Want pointers and manual allocation? It’s yours. Wanna ignore all that and write interfaces and Java-style classes? You can do that too and pr

Has Google explained why the limit is so low? I don’t think we need the adtech company to make a statement for us to know what’s going on here.

Did you think people were flooding these precincts with resumes after 2020? With people like you screaming "ACAB" and "Defund the police"? There's a finite amount of officers at any precinct - even less after 2020 -

If I report my boss for an off-color joke about Sri Lankans, I might rightfully be seen as a firestarter or someone who is looking for trouble so that they can tattle. I’m okay with quashing tattletales. If I report my boss because I see hi

This person said there was no one precipitating incident but rather a mounting loss of trust over communications with Altman. This is the worst possible response. They tanked MS’ stock price for this? MS will have their heads.

learn from solutions of others I got my first job furiously doing that for nights on end. It felt like cheating but it’s ultimately way faster than waiting potentially years to figure out those tricks on your own.

Isn't that the strength of the institution though? If they were elected, they'd be fundraising nonstop for re-election and be far less concerned about their actual job.

I always thought it was an observation that people (often men) tend to underestimate how involved and intertwined in their lives their partners are. To these men, having a newly-happy wife improve their life seems like magic. To outside obs

I say this as someone who ran an adult website for 18 years, in Canada, until suddenly our bank informed us that they were closing our commercial accounts and we couldn't find a single other bank or credit union in this country that w

I think squash merges are a last resort heavy-handed tool for dealing with developers who refuse to clean up their commit history before merging. Most developers can do better by hand. This is too much thought put into a VCS. I don’t want

High recommend reading the article. Seems like the CDTFA couldn’t balance their books and now is making the city of Cupertino the major loser rather than Apple. In fairness, routing all CA tax through Cupertino didn’t make much sense in the

I don’t see the connection between the Postal Service and banking. Is it just it was historically there? If that’s the case, you could attach it to any department.

"Test-optional" and "test-blind" are vastly different. If I can get a leg up on the competition by taking the test, then it's basically required even if it's technically optional.

But how do you break up such a duopoly? You create a publicly-funded option.

I care less about this with one-off businesses (hotels, restaurants, post) but doing this with rent at apartments seems like they’re duping people into paying more than the advertised rate. It genuinely seems like fraud.
