Leading cause of fatalities in storm chasing: car accidents.

Attributed to an issue with a valve in the rocket's second stage.

They've made a good point, though: when making an argument, don't forget to bring your evidence [0].

[0] Otherwise, you have a list of abstract grievances with maddening uses of "we" and "they" weasel words and zero concrete examples: https://coryd.dev/posts/2024/the-tech-industry-doesnt-deserv...

"I would describe it less as raising prices and more coming up with better prices or more fair prices where those new prices are higher than the previous ones."

More "fair" for Google.

And, "momiji" [0] describes the (closely tracked) seasonal phenomena in Japan when tree foliage turn a brilliant red during Autumn.

> Browser games, they've nailed it.

Could you elaborate how?

Admittedly I don't play browser games, but is it as the parent comment says, trials in browser games are usage-based?

"...its Senior Leadership Team's pay partially dependent on whether the company is "meeting our security plans and milestones," though Bell didn't specify how much executive pay would be dependent on meeting those security goals."

What's the percentage? What are the milestones?

Edit: The "security plans and milestones" appear to be here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/05/03/sec...

Aleksandr Dugin's earlier writings (in Russian) [0] are instructive in regards to his philosophy, but his prescription for world order in "Foundations of Geopolitics" [1] (and that it had "significant influence within the Russian military, police, and foreign policy elites") are unsettling, to say the least.

> Who invests in this stuff?

Bill Ackman (founder of Pershing Square Capital Management), for one: https://lexfridman.com/bill-ackman-transcript#chapter4_inves...

The link to the "Stealth Marketing" site in the site footer looks like they don't care about adhering to any guidelines...which I guess should make the FTC's case clear-cut!

"Can one man find the balls* to persevere..."

Nice. I was wondering if this had been done somewhere before.

"Sony plans to integrate the pizza function more tightly into the game", which every game should do, of course :)

Hmm, a CLI interface for consumer purchasing.

Can I pipe that order through to a payment processor and delivery method? Script my meals for the week?

Also, woodworking (furniture, cabinetry, etc.).

Construction trades (e.g., any role involved in building a house).

Does the artist control that outcome, though? The clear communication of their art's intention? Whether their work is loved or hated?

If you're creating art because you enjoy doing it, and if you're performing / putting it on display because you think it has value and others might enjoy it too, then I can't think of any reaction other than love and encouragement (implicitly via purchasing or explicitly via encouragement) that would suffice in keeping one motivated to share it with others.

Now, amidst any hate I might ask myself "Did I do the absolute best according to my ability? Is there anything else I can improve?" From this perspective, hate is amazing as fuel because it's an effective way to eliminate your perceived faults (assuming you take it personally, which I'd wager most artists do).

> “If you’re getting hate, that’s a good sign.” ...In the past, he used to engage with them...Now, he doesn’t get too involved.

Did he mean to say "passion" in this case? How is hate a "good" sign of engagement? If someone has an opinion and is willing to share it with me, I'd hope they could do it in a constructive way (but I wouldn't call that "hate", and this is the Internet he's talking about).

Imagine being surrounded by 100 people hurling insults at you, telling you you're no good and your product / service / art sucks. How is that a "good sign"?

Edit: Maybe the assumption is "For every hater, I find 10 people that _do_ like it", so the realization is that "I'm reaching people," and the underlying prayer is that "And hopefully, they're not _all_ haters."

You're absolutely right; updated!

Anything with an edge: knives, drill bits, saws, scissors...maybe the last razor blade you'll ever buy!

But a triangular-shaped sandwich is an efficient sandwich shape to eat without making a mess: you're biting "off", not biting "into" (thus not getting egg salad all over your face). And what do you get when you've bitten off all three points? Another triangle!

It's a beautiful day, I think I'll go outside and get some fresh air now :)

An efficient crew of 4 people in favorable conditions (work experience, good weather, materials delivered on time) can frame a single-story, 3 bedroom house in 3 days.

I'd say the choke point are the various trades (electrical, drywall, plumbing, siding, painting, roofing, irrigation, windows, inspections, etc.) doing their thing, which can take months.

Does "junior" in this case mean "junior manager" (vs senior manager / executive) or "just a manager" (vs owner)?

The timing of this acquisition, and the FTC's ban on non-compete agreements is perfect.

I would imagine something less confrontational to Congress than effectively "Take your best shot".

It's going to be interesting how this plays out, that's for sure.

True! It seems Tennessee will be their "eastern territory office" only, and not their headquarters.

Complicated by the fact that it may be in an online dating company's interest _to keep you single_ and thus on the platform: once you find someone, you don't need to use the platform anymore, and they lose an active user / subscription.

I'm doing so, but sometimes I can still see/reply to the comment despite me flagging it.

Is a certain threshold of users required to flag a comment before it's removed?
