Science and expert opinion should be respected, “your own research” is usually worthless, Black Lives Matter, Taiwan is a country, Love is Love, and Trans Rights are Human Rights.
No nazis or tankies, thanks.
Complexity and additional maintenance. Anytime someone introduces stuff like this they should think about reliability. More doodads = more shit that can break.
Unless you parallel park constantly and can’t make the existing methods of doing that work, I suspect this may not be worth it.
It’s all in the 3 ring binder.
Cool, I’ma go tell my wife something we disagree on is idiotic and we’ll see how it goes. Should be fine, right? It’s not combative!
What an idiotic comparison.
.
…is incredibly reductive and combative. The world needs less of that, not more.
Be the change, homie.
In any case, do recall that many of us are in enterprise environments where we’re not the only decision makers. Plus, FOSS without reliable support contracts isn’t workable for many use cases. If something in FOSS goes tits up none of my customers will be satisfied with the great discussion I had with the devs about it and how they’ll totally get to it after Furrycon.
You might not be paying for software in money but you’re going to pay for it, one way or another.
My local huge park, pool, and sports complex is .7 miles. I have multiple stores and restaurants .5 miles away. Our library is also about .7 miles away. My burb is relatively walkable and perfectly bike-able.
Our grid has its own problems and is completely unsafe for cyclists a lot of the time. I know; I work there. My city has removed lanes from streets to create space for bikes and people still get killed by idiots in cars. Still inadequate public transit. Only more walkable than my own burb in certain, hyper expensive neighborhoods. Cheaper areas have homeless problems (warmer climate) resulting in tons of property crimes (mostly stolen bikes and break-ins). Many encounters with bonk-shit crazy guys yelling at stop signs (and people). Some of them have large, aggressive dogs. Oh, and then there’s the fires they start by attempting to cook or warm themselves and then getting high or drunk.
Frankly I would be stoked to live in a townhouse or condo or something on the grid. All my favorite restaurants are down there, lots to do, etc. But it’s shit for kids and the schools are rough as fuck.
If we started now, we’d be ready in a couple decades in all but the most compact metro areas. And that’s after we build the requisite political will. The US fucked itself hard leaning into cars as transport.
But that’s reality for most of us living in the burbs where the schools are better and the neighborhoods are better for kid stuff.
If you’re being fiscally responsible there’s no way to buy most new cars. People are too used to living well above their means. How these Army recruits straight out of boot camp are dropping 80k on a truck that’ll never even see a sheet of plywood or drywall assuming the bed is even big enough is beyond me.
I haven’t paid more than 18k on a car and even that felt like too much. And I’m well above the median household income for my region.
Frankly I wish I didn’t need a car at all, but it’ll be decades before our infrastructure can support that lifestyle if ever. Unless you’re willing to give up an additional 2 to 3 hours per day on travel … and I’m not.
First or Second council of Nicea?
Tea. Just make tea. You’ve effectively ruled out almost everything else.
Every single time some dude writes “females” I see this.
I’ve encountered so much crazy on the Internet that I can’t tell who’s joking, trolling, behind 7 layers of irony, off their meds, and/or incredibly serious.
It’s designed to serve media you download. So it has whatever you’ve acquired.
There are certain advantages to StigmataOS, but unfortunately it gets a little runny when it’s hot.
"I am not personally aware of thing, so thing must not exist."
There's a lot more. The CA Air Resources Board did a study on this too, which drove CA's EV mandate. You could have googled it before posting this. Weird that you didn't. Weird.
They all say they work well under pressure after all.
If only more billionaires tried to visit the Titanic.
YESSSSSSS. I played a mod called renegades that had some different weapons, classes, and things like deployable base defenses. It was SUCH a fun game. Few things will ever match the cool factor of aerial disc duels.
Not to quibble but you don’t generally fire slaves.
For parents, imagine some glasses where you have the kids wear a token or tie it to a device, and then I can see where they are in a crowd. So many hassles and scares averted.
How do you write this article and not once reference I/O Psychology or the literature that examines how well various tests predict job performance? (e.g. Schmidt and Hunter, 1998)
I swear this isn’t witchcraft. You just analyze the job, determine the knowledge and skills that are important, required at entry, and can’t be obtained in a 15 minute orientation, and then hire based on those things. It takes a few hours worth of meetings. I’ve done it dozens of times.
But really what all that boils down to is get someone knowledgeable about the role and have them write any questions and design the exercises. Don’t let some dingleberry MBA ask people how to move Mt. Fuji or whatever dumb trendy thing they’re teaching in business school these days.
