The rich aren't Scrooge McDuck or Smaug. They didn't have swimming pools full of cash and gold. They are wealthy because the vast majority of their wealth are investments. They own large portions of companies. Sure they may have an expensive estate or three and a yacht and private jet, but that is s small portion of their wealth. This is actually one of the reasons I dislike a wealth tax.
Two facts per ten word sentence? That seems fairly dense and I'm guessing probably not a fun read. I guess it depends on what you are describing. But I works question the grammar of a site that packs so much information in such terse sentences
Release the hounds to what avail? I can't read the paywalled article, but if all they are doing is restoring a physical copy, what can Disney do? I realize there are things they can try, but what law is being broken? I wouldn't think they are infringing on copyright.
Cars, at least American cars are so large because people want them that way. Yes there are some safety laws that require at some size and weight increases. But not much. My 2019 car isn't significantly larger or heavier than my 1992. It is larger and heavier(it also has some additional creature comforts) but the differences are fairly small.
One of the issues, is the same reason crowded rooms get nosier. As cars get larger people want even larger cars, to see over and around and feel safer.
How many fatalities are caused by cars traveling in excess of 90 mph? I don't know the number. I am sure it is greater than zero, but I would guess it isn't much larger than that (percentage wise)
I'm not sure why you picked 90 mph. But I think any arbitrary number is going to have an issue.
The speed isn't the issue. It is the difference in speed between the vehicles on the road at the same time as well as other factors. Consider than the fatality rate on the autobahn is about half of the rate as US.
Induction should be intuitive. I think there are a few things that get lost. One is you need to show the steps are equivalent. You have to show going from n-1 to n is similar to going from n to n+1.
My favorite analogy is coming stairs. You prove you can get from the floor to the first step (that is the base case) but you also have to show that all the stairs are identical. I think this is where a lot of people misunderstand induction.
KYC in the financial realm is awful, and possibly unconstitutional (I don't know if it has even been challenged) and really it works be fine away with
But to extend that to customers of any online service is unconscionable.
So... yeah a patent restricts what others can produce. But parents are supposed to be for things that are novel, which means if it's unlikely for someone else to produce it to begin with. Parents are supposed to help encourage people to innovate. I do think to many patents are given and many aren't novel enough. But I do believe, at least historically, they led to innovations.
I also don't think software works be patentable
While you can scribble, you can easily highlight and comment on books. Going back and forth is maybe slightly harder than a book, but it isn't "so difficult." I'm not saying reading on a Kindle is better than a paper book. But I didn't think it is as bad s you claim it is. I personally like it because I can read anywhere. I don't need to carry a large heavy book around.
Personally I feel like a ban like this is anti free speech. Even if it is run by as foreign institution. I think it is fine for the government or companies to ban it for their employees. Otherwise it is just wrong.
I guess it depends on your definition of lobbyist. But why shouldn't they be allowed? And why would any democratic country disallow it? Disallowing lobbyists doesn't seem very democratic to me.
If you want to go someplace fun, just book a ticket to someplace fun.
I actually got in the wrong plane once. But I was already heading someplace fun, and I'm glad I didn't end up going somewhere I didn't want to go.
I was in another country catching a connecting flight. My gate was changed but I didn't notice. I got in the plane. They let me. I was sitting in my seat when a gate agent came and got me.
How are the farmers lowering the housing stock? Are they destroying housing? Are they preventing others from building? You claim they can't force their land to be agriculture, but you apparently can force it to be residential?
I think there are two issues here. First of all, the freedom of speech issue has generally broadened to include all of government. Generally government can't ask a company to restrict speech, Even outside of a law
But there is more to the first amendment. We also have a right to communicate with the government. If that avenue is shutdown, it can be a first amendment violation as well.
What flights go back in time? I guess if you take off near the edge of one timezone and land near the edge of another. But so what? Why is that an issue?
Most times I'm dealing with things local, I didn't really care what time it is elsewhere. And this is said by someone who just had several calls with people from around the world. Id rather deal with trying to figure out what time somewhere else is every once in a while rather than trying to understand what time midday is.
"Democracy dies if the voters can actually give power..." I don't think democracy means what you think it means. Democracy dies if you take power away from the voters, which is what you seen to be suggesting.
When I was in highschool back on the early 80s I got a job paid internship. One of the programmers told me the average turnover in the industry was 3 years. I believe today the average turnover is 3 years.
I don't think much has changed, and it has nothing to do with LinkedIn, glassdoor, etc.
Won't you have to replace the battery on the Tesla soon?
My understand is a Tesla battery is good for 10-20 years and a Prius catalytic converter for 10+
Both cars share a lot of the same maintenance, like tires and brakes. And you've got to pay for electricity(in both terms of time and money)or gas. It isn't as cut and dry as you make it
I think it is a huge difference. It didn't know what you wanted. It knew what most people want.
For a lot of generic things what you want is probably what most people want. Shoot, most times we ask ourselves what other people do in this situation.
But in a specific case, what you want is probably not what other people want. As that is why you are writing this code, to do something different.
I'm not sure what converting tabs to spaces had to do with Python. I convert tabs to spaces and python runs just fine. Yes there enforcing of whitespace is one thing I don't like.
Django is not Python. Django is a nice framework, but not a requirement.
What other syntax don't you like.
There have been breaking changes, especially going from 2.x to 3.x. you also can't go backwards. Not aware of issues going forward from 3.x.
On the other hand it is fairly easy to migrate from 2.x to 3.x.
Sorry of. There are limits, it has to be yay big. Can't be too heavy. But those limits are (usually) administrated by the airline.
Otherwise if it is legal then bring it.
The reality is, if you want to bring something nefarious into a plane, you can do so. TSA mainly stops law abiding people and stupid people. And an enormous cost in time and money and safety.
"Dynamic pricing is a relatively new concept in the fast-food world, with little precedent"
Yes, because they're are lots of options. You charge too much and I'll just go next door.
