I don't think it makes sense to expect integration tests have 100% coverage, which is what you would need.

As others have already pointed out, you are rewriting history. You said: The PE of 9 is low which is unusual for these companies. And: that PE shouldn’t be 9 unless revenue is expected to drop quite a lot Are you saying that this was yo

Yeah, this is it. People get confused about dividends all the time, but they are essentially just a forced sale of your shares. Which is also a taxable event, and many try to avoid dividends for that reason.

I agree, but most (not all) don't have the leverage needed to get what they want. The boss thinks that dumb meeting makes them look good, so why would they want to let anyone opt out? Let one do it and the rest will follow, they figur

I'm pretty sure they want people to use their products. Making it useful helps that cause.

Oh...why am I even doing anything at all at my job? I could just refuse to work and get paid anyway? With no consequences? Wow all this time like a sucker I've been doing what my boss asked me to do.

If I attend a meeting every day while I'm doing the dishes and my employer can't tell, then my employer has already failed your test. There is no point in pushing back in this case. They just don't care about running an effec

> you just shouldn't be in that call Exactly. But most of the time you don't have a choice. So may as well do dishes.

Because if the language doesn't allow overloading (which is the context of this thread) then "+" will always be implemented by the language. That's a big difference.
704.
by thunky 3y ago
Because parent is taking about operators like "+" and how it can be confusing not knowing if a function call is behind it. This is different from obvious functions like "Add()".

Cash doesn't mean cash. More like short term bonds.

Maybe I'm missing something but AFAIK Google can't force anyone to install Google Analytics on their website. It would make more sense to me if you were upset with those that do. And if you're someone that knows enough to dis

Right, but that's also assuming the person is 100% invested in the stock market all the way up to their retirement. That's a lot of risk.

Does someone deserve to make a small fortune every year pushing keys without breaking a sweat, while someone that scrubs his toilet is living check-to-check? Unlike luck, hard work has nothing to do with it.

I'm not saying they raise the rent on your current place (which is perfectly fine), I'm saying they move/upgrade you to a more expensive address that you've never seen before.
