To further your point, I've never understood why American billionaires want us to be more like Russia. Yes, it will make line go up in the short term. Do they know what happens to Russian billionaires? They have a tendency to fall out of windows.
I don't know why they think they can get one of those without the other.
It'd help if we had more than the very slimmest of majorities.
AIPAC is American money.

$5 million from WhatsApp, $2m from Home Depot, half a million from Kraft.
It's tiered pricing. All the chains are doing it now. Jump through hoops or pay double.
It's possible it was stress from the litigation. In fact, if you don't specify whose stress, I'd almost guarantee it.
Because changing the engine in an existing project is a huge pita that requires many, many hours and possibly in some cases a full rewrite.
This also applies to games that would be released in 2023 or 2024.
Nobody should be considering Unity for a new project, but it's understandable to make either decision for many existing projects.
Ripping out the engine of your game isn't a trivial thing.
The biggest thing is to be aware of how much things should cost, and just refuse to buy them if they're gouging.
Can I afford $13 for a case of Coca-Cola? Sure, I absolutely can. I can afford $24 a case. I'm just not willing to pay that. That same case was $7 in 2019. You can't tell me their costs have doubled.
And even if I believed their costs doubled (and I don't), that doesn't mean their prices have to double. They're not entitled to growing percentage profit on a larger number. Just because they made 20% on that $7 case doesn't mean they deserve 20% on that $13 case. 20% of $7 is $1.40. They could absolutely take $2 profit on $10 and be happy with it. But they won't. Because people don't pay attention and they can get away with it.
There are enough barriers to entry and cooperation among would-be competitors that they can charge basically whatever the duck they choose.
The primary purpose of the sugar pill is to maintain the habit of taking a pill daily.
They're cowards. There was a vote. That was the time to "fight", but at that time they didn't want anyone to know they were against the decision.
It was only after they got backing from conservative hate groups that they cared enough to cause problems.
They're going to follow the Ohio playbook and just keep submitting bad maps until the time is up.
My health is nearly none of my employer's business. I will not be telling them when or how I exercise.
This is a gross invasion of privacy.
There isn't much difference between a "bonus" and a penalty, given enough notice.
It's open source. We don't have to depend on the original developers.
If it gets too bad, someone can just make a fork.
Afaik people are just impatient with the developers and have different short term goals.
I hope the Republicans are laughed out of relevance and the Dems split into two sane parties.
Same end result.
I'd love to vote based on how socialist I think we could be instead of voting based on how tyrannical I think we should be.
They did, but Elon asked one of them for a latte and they brought him one with 2% instead of oatmilk so he gutted the whole department.
/s, because it might be to be specified.
It doesn't matter. We don't do eye for an eye here.
17 million seems like a lot, doesn't it.
Elon wants a 56,000 million pay package.
If I'm looking to build skills in a new language, that language is probably going to be Rust and not Java. One of those languages has a bright future. The other is going to look a lot like Fortran in 15 years.
I expect real performance issues with Java at some point, especially compared to Rust. The initial difficulty in picking up the language is worth it if I never have to see another Factory pattern that only returns one type. Why just use a constructor when you can use idiopathic idiomatic java?
Were you as good in English as you were in math?
Which is why Democrats were doormats for so long. They were very aware of this and made concessions to maintain democracy.
Of course that didn't work. It's clearly not just a phase.
We can't just keep getting run over to maintain some false sense of decorum.
To be fair, I'm sure this is a lone developer at Microsoft, not Microsoft as a company. A lot of this still absolutely applies, but it's not Microsoft as a company making an official decision to go ask the FFMEPG guys for free shit.
It'd be nice if the guy had an avenue to go to leadership, tell them about the issue, and just ask them to actually fund the guys to work on it.
I have exactly as much loyalty to my employer as they have to me.

Is not a source I'm familiar with. But everyone wants to believe it, so upvotes it is.
The shots are a lot cheaper than dying of rabies, which is often done in a hospital.
Probably just A/B testing.
The real danger isn't on Lemmy.World, where I think the money would go where intended. The real danger is incentivizing people to spin up small instances in the hopes of collecting.
Usually they set up a hotline which may or may not get you fired.
“The big difference between Apple and Google is Apple didn’t write anything down,” Sweeney said
Vote anyone else in the primaries. It's only binary at the last step.
The inflation is largely the PPP and corporate greed.
The rest of your post is pretty unhinged. The vaccines are effective, even if they don't completely prevent infection. The mass consolidation of wealth has been happening for fifty years; they didn't need to make up an excuse.
He's doing a great job. He's just too fucking old to go another four years.
But I'm certainly not going to pass on Biden to vote for a dumbass tyrant that's just about as old.
I'll look for someone to vote for in the primary, if there is one.
There's too many answers over the past decade to abandon reddit completely. Most google searches for specific questions go back to Reddit.
Did they "fuck up" though? Or did they intentionally fire their best people in order to save money, knowing the consequences would be cheaper than the profit made.
Illegal crossings really aren't a huge issue. Most illegal immigrants enter legally and just don't leave.
Same. It's unavoidable to use it when it turns up in Google searches or for niche content, but I've 100% stopped contributing.
The corporate world undervalues goodwill, both from their customers and their employees.
It's almost like the methodology is less important than the people.
All Cops Are Bad because good cops don't last long. You're either doing bad shit, standing behind the thin blue line while you watch other cops do bad shit, or you're getting harassed and bounced out soon.
To make it easier to see the graph. I hope you're not implying anything else.

This isn't a real thing. There aren't many softwares devs making 700k salary. I'd be surprised if that number reached dozens.
Except that Biden is in no way evil. Being old is not evil, and his administration has done a lot of great things.
