Why is it that some people can win the business lottery consistently while other people can't however much they try? How come people can learn to win the business lottery? Isn't that what we call skill?

Distributed all around the world doesn't imply uniformly.

If that was true we'd have much more billionaires and they'd be distributed all around the world.

They didn't look like they were having fun, tbh. If I had to grope 300+ people, some of them really not appealing, I wouldn't have fun too.

Don't be absurd, we are not talking about anything comparable to slavery. I am asking - show me the person who found the better way.

Well, Gates is an asshole, Jobs was an asshole - where's the middleground? Maybe niceness leads to [business] mediocrity.

Where are the nice bosses of top tech companies? Maybe that's how you build a big tech company.

Maybe there was few % error but no other candidate.

Yeah, I took it out, closed the suitcase and send the boxes on their way. Then they forced me to open it up again and take out my camera, chargers and some cables etc too, I guess they took it during this.

> At least in Europe you don't have some highschool dropout rifle through your luggage and leave your suitcase open, though (that's happened to me in the US). No but the people putting the suitcase - that you had to take apart

We don't? So the officers groped me just for fun this summer? And my GF's bra had to be undone just for fun too?

It's a worldwide thing. EU airport security is even stricter and they're not going to let go now.

Isn't H2 energy density much better than Li-Ion batteries? I don't understand why it's not applicable to transport if so.

The problem that constraints fusion is investment capital. You can't expect results while resting below the "fusion never" track: https://i.imgur.com/3vYLQmm.png

Where's the difference that makes it feasible for powering the grid, but not for powering vehicles?

Never. As long as media increases in size (and it will - we will always want better quality) the broadband speeds will need to increase too.

I bet Microsoft would like that - they tried and then after it didn't work out for 2 decades of laptops they started making their own hardware. The 3rd party vendors don't care too much to change the ways they work - they juggle t

Dockerize your dev/build env. You can access the Android emulator via VNC.

I fully believe they're doing it to retain control of their money, and I don't mind, Bill Gates is a master handler of money - in fact I find the system that led to people like Bill Gates working on things that are good for the ge

Yeah but nobody has that granular logs of Gates' net worth and donations. At best, it's calendar months, sometimes you can try to assume weeks, with a big maybe.
53.
by whatwherewhy 4y ago
So what? Gates said he will donate before he dies, not immediately.
54.
by whatwherewhy 4y ago
It does, but that doesn't mean your net worth will decrease by that amount that year. There are other effects - e.g. the rest of his investment portfolio.

Gates pledged to give his wealth away before he dies, not immediately. And that's good - the world will be getting much more money than it'd get if Gates just gave away all his money the moment he announced it. > Then your net

As far as I know Bill Gates is still alive

Why should his wealth reduce?

30 days (the EU standard) are not really that much more than the usual 14 days in the US.

What's an interesting consequence of microservice architecture is the effect on release management - it's always necessary to fully [user] test every deployable => so let's reduce what's being deployed. Microservices

Actually, I just usually write a usage example, and Copilot does the code including "rationalization", because that's how my codebase looks - an example, then a description and then the implementation. It's using comment
