I would be surprised if he didn't. He has a history of being vindictive towards critics and has a lot of grudges and is more hands-on than typical CEOs.

My basic understanding is when we are strength training we are putting tiny tears in our muscle fibers. The body then uses protein to heal those tears and make the muscle fiber bigger as part of that process, allowing us to train even harde

At the very least high school graduation rates have generally gotten better [0]. I don't think people are smarter as in higher IQ, but I wouldn't underestimate how much benefit we've had. I'm sure I'm not the only o

Last time I checked, there was an extension for org-mode in Visual Studio Code, but it felt a bit more like a glorified WSIWYG markdown editor with a few extra features - just a tiny, tiny fraction of org-mode's potential. But that tin

The big tech companies like to have big audacious mission statements. I personally don't have any experiences with Amazon that have soured my attitude towards them, and have found customer service to be just fine.

Python is strongly typed though, in addition to being dynamically typed like you said. I think that makes Python a great language for type hints. I know the language won't do an unexpected conversion the way javascript would, yet varia

The other comments already answer this question. But I'd like to add just how massive the DoD is. It's not like how one might imagine a typical military, where the government is basically funding an entity to pay soldiers' sa

According to [0] peak marijuana usage was in the 70s. I don't think with a smaller/more stable subset of the population partaking there's going to be many more people saying "we should have known better" than there

That may be part of it. There's also this trend in TX to find alternative means to raising taxes, often in the form egregious speeding tickets, but that's harder to scale up to larger municipalities.

Even if there were real threading, it has features that make it convenient for scheduling tasks, chaining them in different ways and so on. You could write your own thing of course. But also it operates over different processes and those pr

Chess isn't something that's played "on behalf of" countries like the Olympics are, are they, or some gray area in between? Aside from that, I kind of view it as a blunt instrument. If there were a way to target Putin an

Chelsea Manning may be a better comparison since the US actually sentenced her, but even then that was about a leak with classified information rather than just punishing the press for being critical of the government. And she was arrested

NYC has exactly this, it's called the NYC Civilian Complaint Review Board. I'm not that familiar with it, but I think this is hard to implement right - either it's toothless or makes cops too reluctant to act when they are ne

The article doesn't say exactly how BP is going to extricate itself, but if they are just "writing it off", doesn't that mean the value is essentially $0? They will have a tax deduction equal to the cost basis of the sta

Isn't their military made up largely of Russian conscripts? Hurt the ordinary Russians to hurt the Russian military's morale to make Ukraine have more of a fighting chance.

The main way I see Ukraine winning is it continues like you said - Ukraine will lose infrastructure and key locations. But then it becomes guerilla warefare. At that point Ukraine has to outlast Putin or Putin's will to stay in Ukraine

Not sure I follow why they would necessarily be doing large scale exercises and maneuvers if they weren't deployed to the Ukrainian border. Also from what I understand a lot of these Russian troops are actually in Belarus as well.
