Conversely if overextending yourself for whatever reason had no consequences, it would be to your disadvantage not to overextend yourself. How do we determine who should be "bailed out"? Seems the issues that are unavoidable that

When I am abroad I say I am from NY, not the USA. Not that I dislike the USA, but I am proud of where I am from, and identify with being from there first. I wouldn't knock Texans for that either. I also would not be for NY leaving the

An aside, but basketball is probably not the best example. A large amount of men 7ft tall or more have played in the NBA. over 17%. So basketball many of them have achieved elite height not skill. http://www.truthaboutit.net&#x2F

Dyson really got the bagless vacuums to become the dominant vacuum in the USA. I think while it looks cool and relieving to see lots of stuff whirl in a transparent tornado chamber, it is far inferior to actually having a bag. You then have

We have to really recenter what is considered a "terrible human being" I am not for Brexit either, but do not consider those that were in support terrible human beings. Also him moving is irrelevant, and was not related. The turni

Being a millionaire later in life (most reps are 40+ yrs of age) doesn't imply that they grew up rich. Certainly there are the born and bred elite over-represented in there, but also getting elected to a congressional seat does involve

Indigenous people of South America chewed on coca leaves for 1000s of years. Then humans started processing it into cocaine. It became a problem then. We have effectively done the same thing to foods. Extracted the sugars and fats into refi

Actually plastic is ideal too. I mean almost everyone has either a broken phone, or a giant case on their phone because it is made entirely of glass. Back when Nokia made the Lumia phones and the N9, the solid polycarbonate was really nice

K8s nodes are going to work much better with more CPUs (to a certain extent). As the post said when you have idle and busting pods, you need headroom. If you have single CPU nodes, your bursting pods are going to more often oversubscribe th

It is more of the effect of not eating or drinking for ~8 hours. 1 pint of water weighs around 500g. Also the average human exhales 1kg of CO2 a day which about a quarter of that is carbon weight. You will lose weight if you do not drink or

They don't need to get the player to admit it. It isn't illegal, and is easily spotted in many cases. Casinos are private establishments and can either toss the player out, or if they are nice, allow them to only make the same bet

It is actually quite easy to spot counters depending on how greedy they are. In order to successfully count you have to bet proportional to how positive or negative the count is in your favor. It is not uncommon for someone that knows nothi

It used to be when I wanted a quality item, I'd click "Ships from and sold by Amazon". They removed that option. Now I cancelled Prime and either buy from other well known retailers, or click "Condition: Used" on EB

Progress is not necessarily halted by not having something in production. Perhaps it needs more work in testing. The article says 3000 successes/2 failures. That is too high when you have 10kg things falling out of the sky.

Web assembly is a good step in the elimination of the globally shared FS. Dynamically linked libraries are explicitly provided with an index only that links to the library location. https://webassembly.org/docs/dynamic-

I kayak and fish in the bays of NYC. A fact not known by much of the population of the city is that almost every time it rains, the sewage treatment plants release raw sewage into the ocean. This is due to the storm drains being drained by

Google has done this again and again with their APIs and services other than their main search and advertising business. For me as a developer Google has a bad name now and I'd never invest my time developing something in their ecosyst

Alcohol relaxes the muscles and tissues in your airway and causes more obstruction. People who normally do not snore at all will often snore after drinking alcohol. If you already have a problem with snoring or apnea, it will become worse a

Yes this is true. I don't pick up lawnmowers anymore because mine is fine. But I have given some of my old ones to people that just moved into a home and stuff. And yes I am selective about appliances unless I know a friend needs one.

I have a good paying job, yet I 100% will pick up major appliances or lawn mowers from the garbage if they are somewhat recent with no shame. It is very rare that they have some issue that is worth discarding over. I get tons of junk mail a

Not many corporations I know of get a deal brokered by the mayor and governor privately with multibillion dollar cut after a large spectacle. I realize you might think differently as an Amazon employee.

If it was primarily a deal to ease the regulatory burden of building such a big thing, I'd be all for it. Admittedly NY has an issue now with too many layers of bureaucracy. But this isn't entirely what it is about. It was also ab
