PFOF is not front running. Market making is not front running. Full stop. This fact is only controversial if you fundamentally misunderstand what market makers do.

I make plenty of effort to stay informed, I just don't make any effort to argue inconsequential shit to signal that I'm "more informed". At some point in this conversation, you just quit addressing anything other than wh

You say that like CPC doesn't carry an ideological implication of its own. To the average person, the distinction between calling it the Chinese Communist Party and the Communist Party of China is so miniscule that they're not goi

Putting CCP in quotes is silly. It is not a conspiracy theory that the CCP exerts an extreme level of control over ByteDance. Your interests are probably not aligned with the CCP. The American public's certainly aren't. The Chines

>Who is more likely to lobby my government to adverse affect? Dude, the concern is that allowing TikTok is quite literally allowing the CCP to indirectly lobby. It's how this whole thing got started in earnest. https://ww

This is a result of Taylorist management brain rot drive to reduce drive thru wait time metrics at the expense of anybody not in the drive through. Watch the shot clock near the drive through window (they're highly visible at Taco Bell

American gun control discourse basically completely ignores the reality that a huge amount of it is driven by gang violence and criminality. It is focused almost entirely on school shootings and things that suburbanite white people are afra

I've seen a single company that does warehouse management software out of Sweden that advertises (in job listings) that they're using it. Otherwise, it's pretty slim pickings if you're not applying in its wheelhouse (hig

Ada is a criminally underrated tool that is unfortunately probably doomed to perpetually take the backseat to Rust despite Rust not solving all the problems Ada does. It's really sad that so many people's idea of safe programming

The grumbling about the Azov Battalion and martial law in Ukraine is deflection. Pretty much every nation has some amount of paramilitary nationalism, and it should surprise nobody that a country at total war is going to suspend civil liber

The 5-10 years isn't unjust. Even them fucking up afterwards and going back in isn't necessarily unjust. It's just that recidivism in that case is an avoidable thing, but people would just let it happen because they can imagi

"The justice system should not be retributive" is a poor way to phrase it. I think what OP intended to say is that at least on paper, it is at about the right level of retribution right now, and that increasing it really isn'

There's definitely some envy -- the hardware is beyond solid. It's definitely bordering on the best there is if it isn't already there. macOS as a computing environment is just too far off the beaten path in too many ways to

Most of the world is x86/Windows machines, developers included. I would bet that for every MacBook issued there's at least a hundred Precision/Latitude/ThinkPad/Optiplex machines that went into someone's hands.

For a safety critical system, the work documenting, explaining, testing, validating, etc. a decision outstrips the work it took to make the decision. It is that way for a very good reason. The problem with it requiring so much work and time

I guess I'm fortunate enough to have never had any issues with the local yokels and haven't run into anybody with any distributor horror stories. Save Keyence, of course, but at least their salespeople are so desperate for sales t

Call your closest electrical supply and get the price. Plant maintenance technicians are comparatively old-timey, so ask yourself how you would do it in 1990 and try that. And for the record, brand new Logos are like $100-$200 on the low en

That space is being taken up to deal with stricter thermal, dust, moisture, RF, shock, vibration, etc. requirements. It'll run on one battery while you change the low one. I really hope you're kidding trying to draw any comparison

The origin of the gripe is that there's a lot of people collecting paychecks for good thoughts that steer a product/company when their most notable contribution is shit into the company toilet that somehow takes 20 minutes to push

Cheap Chinesium tooling and measurement equipment is plenty enough. The guy in the linked video is a horrendous welder and not a very good machinist. The fact of the matter is that the engine he made is pretty brute, it could reasonably be

Harbor Freight sells flux core MIG welders for < $200, and small lathes for < $1000. You can find lathes for significantly cheaper with a few minutes of digging on Facebook. It's really not enough to detract from the title.

I'd like to add that your company doesn't need a hero. The road to widespread catastrophic failure is long and no single person walks it in its entirety. Every employee should be able to individually take routine actions and mak

It means prosperity in the sense that the manufacturer is taking you to the cleaners by eliminating smaller low-end and mid-range products to funnel you into higher margin "big" things, for both cars and phones. SUVs being pushed

I can't agree with this enough. If you could just drive at 55mph in a straight line everywhere with nothing in your way, current education would be fine, but that's not reality. Part of driver's training should involve you dr

Up until 7, and even afterward in some areas, Windows got things right from an interface standpoint. People seem to forgot that Microsoft dumped large amounts of time and money into figuring out how people use computers and developed their
