It's almost definitely an insurance scalping strategy, and the number of people needing this drug via this delivery route may actually be that small (or close to it). When companies do this, they usually just hand it out to uninsured p

I strongly encourage you to try and achieve this in less than 24 working hours with the hardware and software that was available at that time. Even if you "cheat" and use high-end workstations and ~25 years of new knowledge and hi

Crude oil futures were negative for a single day (if my memory serves me correctly) a little over a year ago. The holder of the contract at its expiration has to make arrangements to actually receive it -- you were getting paid to take oi

"Wealthy" in the context of most of the discussion surrounding this change are those with millions or billions in Roth IRAs. Those people's accountants will figure out a new strategy where they might have to pay a negligibl

Because he feels that it's wrong that he made a lot of money doing something that other middle income earners could reasonably do, but now the ladder is getting pulled up behind him? This is no skin off the back of the wealthy. They&#x

The path of least resistance in America today is to act like minority groups don't exist for the sake of not offending them, as if they're irrationally sensitive and need to be patronized, lest they lash out. I think it's an

You wouldn't have to be an exceptional programmer to figure this out. Your average user was much more accustomed to operating software like this at that time and may have been writing the software out of sheer necessity; most of them p

I'm gonna be honest -- I don't entirely understand what you're trying to say. Are you implying that the work needs to be paid for it get done? Of course that's the case, and open source embedded libraries can and do make

It doesn't take away from the point that the thing exists, but the licensing for this sort of stuff is almost always horrid. You're sparing yourself the headache of semi-supported open-source options, but it always feels like anyt

Because your system may require that you can change code at runtime without reflashing your micro. I very, very much dislike JavaScript, but it's not an outlandish requirement and there's not a lot of (what I would consider) great

It's certainly not frontrunning. Any time securities trading comes up on this site, there's at least one person trying to claim that X thing is frontrunning when it isn't even close to being able to be called that.

You definitely could write a lot more in Ada. The world would be a lot better off for it. Unfortunately, with the way things are going right now, I don't think it will happen. It takes a lot of active convincing to keep people from w

There _is_ a pervasive assumption of bad faith. People almost always consider the possibility of bad faith when they don't know the other party, at all levels of society since the beginning of recorded history. A bad actor can have a m

Ada arrays are actual types, they're bounds-checked, the language provides some niceties for indexing, and Ravenscar and SPARK are available. You're going to have less issues with Ada in that case than you are with just about any

The unimaginable reason is that one of Ada's core competencies is realtime embedded systems. Very often, these don't allocate or free memory ever .

There will never be an appreciable number of people writing the kind of software that justifies the use of Ada. If your project needs it, the cost isn't a concern.

That's more of a learned behavior that helps you consciously check everything; it's almost the opposite of pokayoke. Implementing pokayoke would involve locking out (or making it incredibly hard) for rail workers to continue a pro

Characterizing the want to "strive for something, especially when that something is as a group" as a "vile impulse" is a bad take. It's pretty hard to argue that that we would be better off just keeling over and acc

This isn't terribly surprising. We're talking about the brokerage that was counting proceeds from selling deep ITM calls and the stock being used to cover them in their margin calculations. Their track record speaks for itself.

Neither. Once knowledgeable people get a read on these type of things, they can usually handle it. The OpenAI Dota 2 "team" was open for the public to play -- it was certainly very good, but multiple teams beat it, sometimes even

I think this take is right in the sense that most consumer-oriented shitware and business CRUD programs are going to be written as web apps from here on out, but I don't really buy that it will completely supplant native software. If y

Women would be crushed. As far as physical sports at the highest levels of play are concerned, women are inferior to men. That's not to say that women are lesser because of it, but that's just how it goes. Karsten Braasch (peake

You are not going to find any sizable player who will agree to immediate payment. Even getting someone to agree net 30 can be pulling teeth from time to time. This war was fought decades ago. Just-in-time production won, and it was a decisi

What has happened to desktop UIs since the 90s has been tragic. We've made some minor specific advances in the last 20 years, but dropped the ball on some really fundamental concepts. It hurts whenever I have to slog through a shitload

This is top down pricing. Multiple engineers clocked a considerable amount of time on this project. The number of OP-1s sold probably numbers only in the low tens of thousands. It's priced appropriately considering how many they'r

Microsoft also gave countless thousands of people the opportunity to get into the field. I know it's easy to shit on them now, because we can look back and say that just about everybody then was an idiot by today's standards, but

I think it's important to note that Dark is "engineered." It has a comparatively short runtime, and the major points of the plot were written before the show even began production. This is something even some of the most wide

The important question is "do we want to?" We are gods by the standards of people five hundred years ago. Even the opportunities 50 years ago pale in comparison to what many of us have access to today; you no longer have to be in

It is not front running, and can only be conflated with it if you don't know what front running actually is, don't know what PFOF actually is, or both. Firms that pay for order flow are paying to be the counterparty to transaction
