Non-coding collaboration is so much easier in person, and it's the main reason I don't want 100% remote. It's so much easier to have meetings in person with a whiteboard to draw a flowchart/diagram/brainstorm than doing it remotely, even with virtual whiteboards, it's still not great. Digital also encourages people to have longer and bigger meetings, which is still just a huge waste, sitting in a meeting on mute with a camera off doing other work and listening for the 30 seconds that matter is far more draining than going to an office and meeting a sane number of people for 15-30 minutes.
The charging infrastructure is the real killer, you need 1:1 charger to vehicle or some kind of smart charger that can plug into X vehicles and charge each up overnight. There's also the power draw requirements that will take, so it may not actually be able to install sufficient charging on existing sites. There's also the maintenance on the chargers, which is admittedly small. Switching to EV means for the same budget you get say 20% less vehicles (assuming same cost), just because you have to spin up the charging.
Steam does the online marketplace right. They have reviews that aren't entirely faked or bought and paid for. They have meta critic scores on the page. Their tags are generally accurate, if something is listed as an RTS it has an RTS feel, games tend to not be tagged with popular tags that don't fit. Their guides and forums tend to have helpful information that can be easily found. Workshop makes modding as easy as click a button. The store also stays out of the way when you want it too, there aren't adds to buy more games all over your library, they don't try and charge you for faster pipes or backup space.
From the dev side they also make it easy to have a game on steam and still sell it elsewhere. Steam keys are free to generate, so you can sell for any price or anywhere, but it keeps users stuck to the steam platform.
Steam has also never not let me play a game just because some service is down. Yes it locks you out after an extended period offline, but I'm not crashing out of a game because I lost internet for a second or some DRM server crashed.
You can absolutely use rental income as income, the main thing is you generally need 1-2 years of experience running rentals. You can even use theoretical income from renting out a new purchase in some cases.
As an outsider, Biden decisively defeating progressive opponents seems like fiction. It appears that varying levels of progressive candidates were forced into supporting Biden instead of supporting any "not Biden." Democrats continue to force establishment candidates despite the extreme levels of anti-establishment sentiment in the country.
You know what you want to select at the time of writing, but 3 months later when someone else needs to add column foo the first two thoughts are: is it already in the select and is it available to the select without more joins. I've rarely ever touched filtering or aggregating lines in an exiting query unless requirements completely changed, which is less common than wanting more values added to an existing query.
SQL syntax is designed for reading, which is the majority of coding time. What gets selected is generally the thing most cared about so it goes first, where stuff comes from is the next most important so you get FROM and JOIN. Filtering and aggregation are next, because they are often hinted at by the select list anyway, then sorting is the least important so it comes at the end.
They "lose" money because they offer more than men's basketball and football. Those two sports finance everything else, it's easy to document millions in losses for swimming, soccer, track, field, baseball, softball, tennis, golf, and everything else.
Also a Universities goal of learning is research, not teaching, especially not undergrad teaching.
If you want to be a college grad hired by Google, college name matters. If you want to move across the country, college name matters. If you want to stay in the region/state, not choose a garbage tier college is all that matters. It's not Ivy league or bust, but choosing top 100 university for chosen field is a good bet.
Sports are generally separate from the rest of the university budget. It's not tuition dollars that are paying the coach, it's season tickets, TV contracts, and donors. Men's football/basketball makes obscene money for the big schools, and the little schools get paid to be beat up by the big schools. The reports that sports don't make money are like how movies don't make money, it's largely creative accounting not actual losses.
You also spent enlistment time in a similar to college setting for the social aspects anyway, so you would be less impacted by the lack of it in actual college.
I think you're getting the better deal. In America we offloaded a lot of lesson planning, worksheets, and more to independent companies. The problem arises with this because many teachers now just rely on answer keys, and can't answer why an answer is what it is, or notice that the given answer wasn't actually correct. Since teachers aren't putting in the work to design anything, some aren't putting in the work to teach beyond the given script, so they really can't do anything beyond read to kids. This unsurprisingly, leads to poor results.
Standardized tests work just fine to assess competency. White board interviews probably would to if they were designed and graded by assessment professionals. Those tests are designed to assess competency at a specific level, and they are a lot better at it than many give them credit for. You don't have to be in a great mood to be able to read, especially at a third grade level. These tests are far better than anyone wants to admit at showing how terrible our schools are in the U.S.
Competition is good for business, but a lot of big companies have learned that it's better to compete at filling out paperwork the best rather than the best product.
The problem is people treat HTML, CSS, and JavaScript like they are separate languages. They should be treated collectively like bytecode/binary and almost no one should need to know more than they exist, a compiler should be what's writing web output.
Intent. Both fraud and theft require intent, rear ending a car can happen regardless of intent, and would be a much more severe charge if there was intent.
For average needs a credit union is a bank with another name. They occasionally have better rates, because there isn't a profit motive for the credit union since it's member owned. If you have special needs beyond checking/savings and home/car loans a credit union may not be able to offer the same level of support as a bank. The quality of credit unions varies wildly, especially on the tech side.
It wasn't a general strike. When GM workers were on strike a while ago it wasn't a UAW strike either because the UAW was still working everywhere else.
