Yes. Both are shitty, but CA is at least shared with the national grid.

Opportunity cost is a real cost.

Yes; it works. That’s why they do it.

You’d be more than happy to chat. They often won’t give you that chance.

I was poor (as in, well below FPL), the son of two immigrants, for many years.

That’s precisely how I thought - getting involved with a “get money now” scheme was not worth the “no money ever again” it often came with. I watched friends do things like this and face consequences later.

Not to discourage anyone from protesting, but not all poor people think alike.

Usually because they need the technology the vendor is selling.

But buyers try to insert this language into partner/ biz dev contracts all the time.

Much less common for sales.

They usually come back smarter, actually.

You can also tell it to specifically focus on removing unnecessary code as a pass, and it does that pretty well.

Preparing payroll is different from running payroll. A human should still have to review it, as it’s the person running it (and the employer) that’s liable.

Great ideas always start with a niche. Moreover, they almost always start out looking dumb.

If there were a license in the US for it, I’d agree with you. But as is, if you are “doing” engineering, you’re an engineer.

If you are a licensed engineer of some kind, you’d state that outright.

The equivalent of stolen valor would be claiming to be a licensed software engineer; except there is no such license so it would also be fraud, misrepresentation, etc.

(I know this is different elsewhere)

It’s obviously possible to run without the internet. They did it for many years.

This is the internet; we don’t do “reasonable” here, apparently :p

I’ve toured the Lucid Motors factory a few times, and man, it’s incredible. Sometimes we forget that the things we use every single day take massive amounts of space, people, and technology to build.

We software people are spoiled with our keyboards and Red Bull :p

I think the parent comment’s point was that unless it is made illegal, as in, a law is passed to make it so, it will come up again, and the “fight” has a shorter lifespan than the government.

We have seen the same, or substantially similar, bills come up over and over. Most of the time, they are shot down, in the same manner you describe.

But sometimes, there is a 9/11 and the Patriot act gets passed.

I almost feel bad for noticing this, but:

> San Hamel was a partner in a business called AllYouCanDrink.com at the time.

…

> Cann, an experienced cyclist who once biked from New Hampshire to Chicago, was heading home from his job at Groupon the night he was killed.

It looks like allyoucandrink.com now redirects to Groupon, in a decent bit of irony.

This is a really common way to structure exclusivity; we did the same thing whenever customers requested it (and we couldn’t get rid of it entirely). Charge for the exclusivity explicitly.

If they wanted named exclusivity rather than general exclusivity, we would charge a somewhat smaller amount for each competitor they wanted exclusivity from. They could give up exclusivity at any time.

That was precisely how we structured our deal with Azure, back in 2014-2016 or so.

Wait, I literally still hit Ctrl-S constantly, usually a few times in a row.

Have people outgrown this unnecessary habit? Haha

Spray yourself with cold water first and minimize exposed skin. That’s literally what TFA says.

Habituation. You’re effectively trained.

Humboldt County would like a word.

You can find your own problems on an abandoned farm too. A kid can always choose to get into trouble, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

It’s because it’s aphyr.

If ‘tptacek posts a blog post, I bet it similarly does well, on average, because they’re a “known quantity” around these parts, for example.

This is a comment from someone that has never used these tools for vulnerability research. That much is very clear.

For sure; the container you set within which you choose to be submissive matters a lot, of course. Particularly, it matters because it lets you remain in control of how and when and what you submit to. :)

The issue of being in the military is precisely that you don't have that control, and choices are made for you. The benefit of this is learning discipline, hard work, resilience, and eventually getting to a point of being in control (whether of yourself or of others).

There are hundreds of ways this can go wrong, but it is all designed for one thing: swift action when necessary. Allowing people choice definitively makes things slower, and speed is of the essence in war. Strategy is too, of course, but decisive action matters.

And those who have no choice are nothing if not decisive when told what to do. :)

The difference here is that I’m already earning points. I’m not doing anything new to earn them; I mostly remember “restaurants on this card, online shopping on that one” and apps like CardPointers can assist if needed.

But this isn’t about selecting new loyalty programs or even being loyal; this is focused on more transferable credit card points, and airline miles you’re already earning.

It’s about using them at maximum benefit, not earning them maximally.

Transferring is almost always the more fruitful option, but it depends on the award deals.

That's fine, I wasn't trying to convince you. :) I was just clarifying that there isn't a human alive who actually likes being told what to do. There is usually a reason they do it anyway, but it is rarely because they like it.

(I am exaggerating, and in the sense of pleasure there are obviously submissive people, etc., but you get my point, I think)
