Umm... entitled much? The point of going on strike is to forgo your pay to prove a point. You don't get paid and they get to experience how important you are. If you can go on strike and expect to get paid no matter what, what would ke

The issue with low code tools is that they typically solve the easy problem. 1. What happens is that it is usually very easy to get a simple thing up. Then you try anything a bit more complicated or not standard or anything breaks and you s

At least here (not US) when you take a course for skipper license you also have to show ability to swim, put on lifejacket while in water, tie bowline around your waist and couple other. The tasks are not particularly hard but this is done

Not necessarily. Particles will all be charged plasma and it is possible that those will be deflected by magnetic fields. But I am not astrophysicist so you would want to check on it. Also, in contrast with the flash where all light has the

As I mentioned, that might not be a problem at all. If you can put it there once, you can probably take it out every week or two, charge it and replace it. Or replace the powerbank it is hooked up to. Not all surveillance needs to be consta

Good question. Technically, nobody, due to Outer Space Treaty ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty ). In practice, the only reason the treaty is still up is because it is not very practical to go to terrest

So the question is, if those were not airtags but Google Pixel phones, would they sue Google for it? I mean... you can do pretty much the same with Google Pixel and more. You can buy used ones for cheaper than an AirTag. And it does not req

FTX is exactly because of it being unregulated or where there was regulation -- it being absolutely inadequate and ineffective. Any sane regulator would not allow the shit happening that happened in FTX. This is not a company making bad b

I think this begs an explanation. The reason people detest regulation is because a) people detest the government and b) people think regulators are corrupt and/or ineffective. But what people are doing is incorrectly extrapolating from

Valuing a business is not easy but it is not hopeless. Imagine somebody in your family has a grocery store and asks you to invest in it so that they can expand the business. Do you know them as a person? Do they have track record of being t

What greed does is make people blind and deaf to reality when that reality does not agree with their beliefs. Whether they knew or did not knew the facts is irrelevant to me. Does it really make a difference which scenario happened? a) They

I would just like to point out this piece of financial knowledge: Dividends are actually the same as selling a piece of your investment. The moment dividends are paid the share price falls by exactly the amount of dividend paid. One way to

It is, but I don't like it because it suggests that things happened to affected companies due to purely external reasons. It is like my daughter saying "the glass fell from the table and broke". No, it was you who dropped t

Yep. Thank you. I have been doing this and have been constantly downvoted. People just don't understand that it is fundamentally broken as it is. Not only it is broken as a financial instrument, it is a magnet for shady people and shad

It is very rarely that there is only one fishy thing about bad business. Bad businesses are run by bad people and bad people can't really help themselves but be bad in a lot of things they are doing (it is a matter of character). In al

No, that is not true. The idea of speculating is "I don't care understanding the underlying business, the only things that matters is the price is going up". But that does not mean there are no people actually investing. Inve

If you put $1B of somebody elses money with no or BS research then it is still your fault. It sometimes seems to me I put more effort into researching products I buy on Amazon than some of these do when transferring hundreds of millions of

Contagion is a poor word, IMO. I would use "house of cards". "Contagion" suggest completely innocent players getting affected and dragging others. IMO anybody "investing" large sums of money on behalf of others

There are good reasons not to. A lot of apartments here have security devices which will call for assistance when the power is turned off. Then there are devices that expect power 24/7 like fridge. Also, since I was abroad, I relied on

We rented an airbnb, very nice, very luxurious. Had motion activated lights everywhere. We slept with the light on because it malfunctioned and there was no physical switch to turn it off -- we actually called the owner and he said there is

Yes and no. I think you overestimate how much you would have to defer to this external engine that would have to say which move is "top". Every move you advance you chessboard situation by one move only and that move is already pa

Naive. I can create an engine which will plan with this restriction in mind. In other words, whatever the rules, you can have an engine that will try to do the best according to the rules.

Partly. There is a lot of people who buy these in very small quantities, myself included. Bulk purchasers pay much less. The ratio of cost of single unit when buying one and a huge amount varies wildly from chip to chip.

The most important thing I had to learn when I started on hardcore ANSI C projects (large embedded business critical application) was to really learn to build abstractions. C has few tools to help you with this and so it is super important
