Yep. Intent matters.

> If you can't trust it 99% of the time

A chatbot should be either 100% or 0%. Companies should not replace humans with faulty technology.

> America already feels like a corporation not a country

There is a concerning percentage of US citizens that actively wants this.

"He will run America like one of his business"

These services should be forbidden from using the phrase "Buy it now" if they do not mean it. The phrase should be "License it now" or "Get a license" so people know what they are getting into.

Words have power.

I don't think it's a trivial thing to do outside of work. At most you can play with kubernetes and cloud but in an interview the lack of experience will come out because I think some stuff can only be learned at work. Especially scalability.

I have attempted this and the biggest issue is that sometimes the receipts use codes hard to understand. And the codes will change from store to store.

If you're lucky, you won't need to go to a grocery store and determine what a code means, you will only need to map the code to an actual item you bought.

> When I checked 1.5 months later, the part was in stock.

So, are you good now? Or was the part in stock too late for you and moved on to another laptop?

> All they do is steal 30% from society that could be used for more productive purposes than make a few people who already have everything even richer.

Steal? What you want the App store to be free and become the Android Play Store which is utter garbage and hostile against small and mid developers?

What if McDonalds is offering unlimited fries with any hamburger?

Would they be reasonable to kick you after eating 5 pounds?

237TB of unlimited data is a drop in the bucket.

They do have support channels depending on your account type. I've used the enterprise support and they respond well.

They even go into your cloud architecture and tell you where you fucked up.

The hardcover costs $5. I think it's the cheapest brand new hardcover price I've seen.

Edit: It's $5 for a used edition. Then my comment is now moo.

Because the phrase is "Just google it" not "Just search-engine it"

That doesn't mean the Epic Store is not profitable for the developers.

> I question a 30% developer fee for using Steam

Devs are free to move to Epic Store/Microsoft Store if it bothers you that much. That's the beauty of PC, your computer is not tied to a single store.

They don't because they know those stores don't have the market share Steam has. The people have spoken.

> car dealers obscuring true costs of borrowing ("how much do you want to pay per month?")

That I would blame the consumer. Think about it.

I'd bet consumers looking for a car start at "What car do I like?" or "What do I need in my next car?" I'd bet pretty much no one starts by asking themselves "How much can I afford?" And if they ask that question is always on a month-to-month basis, because that matters. The now and today.

Once they know what they want, they try to get it no matter the cost. If it's more than their budget, they go for paying more in the long run but less month-to-month.

Hell I'd even say that if a salesman tells them that their so-wanted car is out of their limtis, the consumer will get mad and go all-karen on them.

> if they are not breaking the law, are they really blameworthy?

Do you think the law and regulations fell out of sky?

Or maybe we saw some shitty and bad-faith actions from powerful entities and then the people demanded to enact some laws to prevent that behavior in the futuer?

Which one is more likely?

> Most will discover that their 401K, despite maximum contributions, will be insufficient to retire on.

Is that a hunch you have or are you basing that statement on data?

> a fair number of people I talked with back then thought she was absolutely brilliant and that her answers were the workings of a deeply complex mind.

I bet it's because she spoke with confidence. Stupid people follow confidence disregarding everything else.

We use H2 in production for a non-critical small app. If it goes down we just launch it again and it fetches data from other internal webapps.

I'd not recommend it for heavy-use in Production.

> if everything goes down for more than a couple of days at most there is bound to be extremely serious civil unrest on a global scale

Forget about civil unrest. Chain of command in the military goes down and every unit is on it for themselves. Imagine generals not knowing if the President is still alive.

I'll be damn. Thanks!

Are you admitting a crime (tax evasion)?

>the alternative is uninstalling YouTube

I assume you're an iPhone user. In Android we don't even have that alternative (at least not out-of-the-box)

It's not lack of educational degree.

It's lack of ethics and morale.

> not the most exciting

It was exciting when J2EE was dominating.

In Quarkus, can you inject different beans depending on configuration?

> All they had to do was make the connector have a non-symmetrical shape so that it's immediately obvious which way round it goes when you pick it up - you could do it without even looking. Think of how much time we'd have collectively saved with this minor design change.

I disagree. When connecting an HDMI cable I sometimes have issues, especially if in a weird angle.

However I do concede is faster to connect an HDMI than a USB

This was to come as ad blockers impacts Google's revenue directly. I mean it's just one guy maintaining an addon against a trillion dollar company that spies us constantly.

How long until a "conservative" sees this program and says "Gee, we don't need to waste money in free child-care for workers, they can use their own money for that!"?
