What exactly is a "trip" I think comparing per mile is much better than per trip. I take make two dozen airline trips a year but I can do that many car trips in a week. On the other hand most of my car trips are on the order of a mile or two as compared to several thousand in a plane.
That is a different question. If something is labeled "butter"it is probably butter. If it is labeled "not butter" it definitely should have a label that says "might contain butter.
Now I understand the labeling and allergy concerns. Like does "almond milk" contain milk? I didn't know but it probably contains almonds or almond extract.
Surprised to hear there are people, presumably in tech, that don't use the end key. I go out of my way to find keyboards that have end and home. Makes it easy to get to the the of the line, or end of the word. And frustrates me to no end when I'm using the mac
Why is it objectively evil? Is it because the consumer pays more? Is it because the artist and venue don't make as much as they could? I didn't like scaling, but I don't consider it evil.
I've almost been hit by a car. I was crossing the street, they were turning left and failed to yield. Missed me by inches. I would NOT use the term traffic violence. At least not for that incident. It isn't the correct term. Draper the fact they knew I was there, and they were impatient. The word "violence" has a connotation that doesn't fit here.
"data in this graph are copyrighted." No, no they are not. Data can't be copyrighted, at least in the USA. The format of the days can be copyrighted. But not the data itself.
By "early 80s computers" if you mean home computers like the C64, Apple II, trs80, ibmpc and Sinclair, then the answer is no. Not really. Today's software is memory and power hungry. Which 80s computers didn't have very much of. It is possible we could have done a better job of switching paradigms earlier. But I think the 80s software was pretty good for what it was.
Yes. Well maybe not perfectly fine. But it is constitutional. It isn't a public bag, just removal from public schools. Generally adult books and belong in schools. The issue here is these (or some of them) are aimed at young adults. You can question whether the books meet the pornography/indecent bar or not.
It is interesting you complain about money distribution and then your next statement talks about being cheaper. The reason paid is so prevalent is because it is cheaper and more convenient. I'm not sure what you mean by "healthy society" but the reason money is distributed is to try to make something else cheaper and more convenient. But that takes time and money.
Enforcing traffic laws are good. Automating that is bad. Who is to say what the sure limit is? My car has sign recognition. There is some construction and the freeway drops to 35 mph. There is a sign that says that. But at the exact same place is an off ramp to another freeway. Speedlimit is greater then 35 mph, but my car thought it was 35 because it saw the sign.
Sure it is an edge case, but there are a lot of edge cases.
Automatic law enforcement is a bane on society. It is there to increase revenue, not to make the roads safer.
Wealth has a definition. It is what you own (minus what you owe) now whether you are wealthy or not is another question.
Someone making 12k a year is not going to pay much on taxes. Some sales tax, maybe some property tax. That is about it. Meanwhile a wealthy person is going to pay gobs in taxes. Sure they may pay a lower percentage of their total income (and even lower of their total wealth) but they will be paying plenty in taxes
The simple answer is, because that is what is being used.
The complicated answer is there are multiple ways to do things. And just because you know one way doesn't mean you shouldn't learn another. For uploading files you say you need to use one of three things, until you need to upload a file somewhere that doesn't support those things.
You just need to learn some of these technologies, without a frame of reference. Learn a technology to learn a technology.
No. It didn't deprive the state of taxes. Especially since the tax didn't exist before a year (or so) ago. This is actually one of the problems with this particular tax. It can drive people away, and you lose out on other taxes.
Maybe it has something to do with the the medical factors in government, like Dr Fauci telling us not to wear masks. It maybe it was all if the prior research that shows that masks fit the last person were mostly ineffective.
I would argue that "money spent on advertisement is money not spent on R&D and improving the product" isn't strictly true.
Yes you can spend money in improving the product instead of advertising. But if advertising increases your profit, then you have even more money to spend on r&d. It isn't exactly a zero sum game.
"lawfully engaged in the execution of his official duties" so .. and in duty officer?
But if it requires the officer to tell the person to stop or retreat(that isn't vague) then why do we need this law? There is already a law that you must obey lawful orders.
Maybe it is me being pedantic, but AIs don't hallucinate. They make stuff up (it is pretty much all they do) but to claim that is a hallucination attributes a trait to them that they don't have (shoot calling then AI does the same thing)
What is the real gain? Resources. There are a ton of resources up there.
Knowledge. A lot of things we have today we have because of our previous space race. But the real reason... It is virtually free. The budget is almost 0 compared to everything else the government does.
The point isn't where you live or die. The point is that we are willing to spend more for a good product, when that product isn't software (I don't think that is true) he wasn't saying "we buy jam but not software" he was saying "we are willing to spend more money on artesian jam than on good quality software"
Why? If the three only crime reported in a neighborhood is a bunch of arrest warrants, why is that less safe than a place that has a bunch of violent crimes reported?
I think you are implying that as neighborhood that has a bunch of criminals is inherently unsafe. But it is only unsafe if those people commit crimes there. There may be a relation, there may not be one.
I didn't think you need to find that many bugs to make code reviews useful. Even if you only find a handful of bugs it is probably with it.
Keep in mind the longer the code exists the more expensive it is to fix it. Finding a bug early can save a lot of time and money down they line.
Also as someone else pointed out they can help with code quality. So they can help prevent someone adding a bug later.
