Landslide refers to the margin of the victory, not whether the popular vote is won or not. This was a close election, relatively speaking, and the red team didn't achieve a landslide victory.
For one of the recent Bad Boys movies (one he didn't direct) they had Michael Bay make a cameo appearance where they shot him with one of his signature telephoto orbit techniques (orbit the subject with a long lens for a very dramatic effect). I had a good lol at that, and my SO was very confused as to what was so amusing. He also has a tendency to use low, wide shots with lots of movement and action, part of a technique affectionately known as "Bayhem"
I don't get why the US doesn't have basic consumer protections, like products and services must be advertised at their total cost to consumer. Why not have supermarket prices marked with sales tax included? Why allow companies to advertise one price and charge another? Why is this not a voter issue?
If there's one thing you want if you're highly dependent on a single vendor or supplier, it's a competitor to keep them in check. Expect the big players to buy a bunch of these, even if they do own shares in ASML.
Even if EVs are 100% powered by coal-generated electricity, the efficiency gains are massive, both at the generation end and the consumption end. EVs have up to double the efficiency in terms of power delivered to the wheels, and coal generation units are highly tuned and scaled to extract power as efficiently as possible. Even units balling straight out of the 70s thrash vehicle engines in terms of efficiency. You do lose some electricity due to transmission loss, but even the leakiest of grids aren't enough to cause coal power to be less efficient per joule of fuel than vehicle engines. This ultimately means that EVs contribute far less greenhouse gases than ICEVs, even when all electricity comes from coal.
There is basically no western economy in which most academics don't earn subsistence wages, perhaps slightly more. You basically have to make associate professor before you can have a more comfortable lifestyle. Even at prestigious universities, unless you're white hot shit that all the institutions want, they exploit their reputation to pay far less than they can afford. Its leading to the situation where those with family wealth are overrepresented in academia because they can afford to start a career there.
karma is a term _used_ by reddit, but it definitely isn't exclusively used there. Outside of its hindu origin, it's used by quite a few forums that track user submission/comment votes as a user score, including hackernews.
This also happened to myself and one or two colleagues when I was a barman. We'd start our shift cutting up limes and lemons for cocktails, and we developed weirdly sensitive skin and dermatitis on our wrists and between our fingers. Eventually a nurse I knew identified is as a very mild chemical burn that we were constantly giving ourselves. It still can flare up now, years later, if I cut up lemons or work with anything too acidic with my hands.
It may be a good idea to disclose it anyway, depending on the regulatory environment. In many countries, having a disability makes you more difficult to fire. This is especially true if they are trying to fire you for reasons that are even partially related to how your disability manifests.
Make sure your filter is clean and that you're adding soap to your prewash. If you're still getting dirty dishes after that, you may need to check your water hardness and adjust your salt dispenser. Dishwashers should only struggle with heavily soiled dishes if the cycle time is too short, otherwise something else is wrong.
The card issuer will always have the final say when it comes to chargebacks. Each issuer has a different policy, and Stripe cannot (or should not) gamble on whether the issuer shares their view on a dispute, lest they be left holding the bag when the issuer claws back the money. Deferring to the issuing bank for disputes is a reasonable policy.
Uranium mining in Southern Africa has always primarily been about exports, not building an arms program. It did conveniently provide the raw materials, but that's not why the industry existed, or still exists after disarmament. Otherwise, this article is pretty bang on.
When I first came to this site, I had just quit Reddit. I got into a nationalistic flamebaiting comment thread with a nationalist flamebait comment, and dang told me off for it. It made me realise that I'd brought things I didn't like about Reddit to this site, and that conversations here could be better, if I let them. Thanks dang, I appreciate you.
sure, when I pay illegal immigrants less than minimum wage for dangerous work I've broken the law, but when Apple does unfair labour practices they've "broken the law" with "quote marks" around it.
Sure, they had a choice in which engine to use, but that's not the point. Your logic regarding sales figures and percentages is also missing context and is probably a bit too generous when it comes to how much money has been made.
The point here is that they started out with a certain set of terms: Unity wasn't a significant cost, nor was it ever expected to be, but now they've switched up the terms of the deal more or less unilaterally. This is not good business. No one wants an essential supplier or vendor to go out of business if they can't be easily replaced, and this can be leveraged in negotiations for terms that satisfy both parties, but dictating terms like this leaves a sour taste.
You also assume that every copy has sold for 40 dollars, but a huge chunk of sales will be from early on when pricing was low or during promotional pricing events. You also don't know how fat or thin the margins are, and using percentages of overall revenue doesn't reflect how much a change like this could be affecting their bottom line. If their margin is 10%, a rise in cost of 1% of overall revenue eats a tenth of their profits. If we use less liberal assumptions about their revenue, we might go as high as half their bottom line being taken out by a mandatory spend figure such as this.
But they've already sold the seat on the abandoned leg of the journey, haven't they? What difference would it make if someone sits in that seat or not?
Cash indeed has a high handling cost. In my country and many others, withdrawing cash at the supermarket teller with your card is free (as in no ATM fees) because it reduces the amount of cash handled and transported by branches. They'd rather eat the cost of a card transaction than pay cash handling costs.
It's always mentioned when this sort of question comes up, but for good reason: Rollercoaster Tycoon (although apparently the DirectX stuff was written in C)
