arrgggh, my affordances!!!

If you really think Trump's reason for gutting the BLS is so it can become more accurate, I have a bridge to sell you

I watched the video, and I think the creator of the repo might be concerned about liability. Also, the perturbed plates don't look that interesting, they just look slightly dirty

Next level: Produce solution for actually dirtying a given plate whith patterns of applied "dirt", easily removable, just in case...

If billions weren't enough, why should we expect a trillion to work?

- high unemployment means the fed will do a rate cut, so markets go up

- low unemployment means the economy is booming, so markets go up

hmmm... the more I learn about the stock market, the more I believe in the limits of human understanding

The DoD is a huge organization, so I'd guess they use almost everything.

> The DoD is a huge organization

That's an understatement if there ever was one.

Woah that’s insane, I didn’t realize it was THAT big. And that’s not even counting the zillions of contractors and consultants. I live in the DC area and I know a ton of people who work for places that contract for the DOD, and only like 2 people who actually work there

That is including all us military personnel, which puts it into perspective a bit.

I think I'm even more amazed that Walmart has almost as many employees as the DoD.

There's a reason it's the largest budget item outside entitlements. There's a lot of money flowing into DoD (and Military Industrial Complex vendors).

I'm not so sure that things would settle down if trump was out of the picture. Trump is obviously an active force, but even if he is gone, the forces that led to his rise will still exist. In other words, even without trump there is a strong anti-elite, anti-expert, nationalist/isolationist movement in the US. Waiting for trump to die or go away is foolish.

Sure, but the thing is, from appearances Trump seems to lack the ability to think strategically, to plan, and importantly, to find and listen to people who know things.

Even setting aside most of the culture-war stuff, which is so white-hot right now that it clouds matters, I think almost any other politician other than Trump, AOC, MTG, and probably a couple more I'm forgetting, would be more likely to do that last thing.

Trump's main issue is that he gets all excited and makes rash decisions based on the last person he talked to, compounded by the fact that he chooses who to talk to overwhelmingly based on chump change "campaign contributions" (bribes), family nepotism, or just his existing network of sycophants.

I'm saying all this neutrally toward ideology and left/right. Frankly I think life was fine domestically under both G. W. Bush and Obama, because both of them weren't impulsive and easily swayed to erratic decisions.

Don't be afraid to say what you believe! let's bring this out in the open. you're saying that women shouldn't be allowed to vote?

I feel so sorry for you people. You need to find some constructive way to deal with your issues, instead of blaming your insecurities on women.

I've made a lot of baiting internet comments in my time, but not in my wildest imagination did I expect a response to my comment mocking Palantir to be anti-women's suffrage.

> shall I say mostly of particular gender

You must be referring to the fact that 72% of our elected officials are male?

Upvoted. I would assume so, because male politicians like buying guns and stuff. They need data to know where to point them.

The all-products pack is increasing by ~10$ for the first year. Intellij ultimate by around 30$, dotUltimate by 50$. Most other IDEs went up by 10$. The cheapest IDE is now rustrover, which saw no increase.
