I really don't understand why essays are bad. Is there any kind of research that goes into this?
I agree with you that learning should be the goal. And any busy work that doesn't help should be eliminated. But I just don't know if we know what the right structure should be and if we can say for sure that things like writing essays don't actually help students cultivate their writing and critical thinking skills.
I am having the same struggle right now with Amazon and I assume the reason is somewhat similar. These companies grow and scale at such an incredible rate that they could never give individual issues the attention it deserves.
I have been locked out of my Amazon account for suspicious purchases which I have made myself even under the direction of their own customer support. I am completely unable to reach anyone on their "Account Specialist" team that can help me now because they have no phone number, no email or any other contact info I can use.
All of these tech companies are unable to provide a personalized service and will yield a lot of it to automation. Talking with a real human being is difficult. Talking to one that can actually help you is almost impossible.
Excellent write-up. I think when dealing with messaging systems it's important to know the difference between Pub/Sub vs Point to Point models or Topics vs Queues.
Can you technically use a Queue as a topic for pub/sub? Yes. But should you? Probably not. You're much better off not using SQS for that and instead using SNS.
Probably depends what you mean by high income. I think someone making 100k will not pay that much and that is considered high in a lot of places. But I am not sure that is considered high in NYC. High is probably more like 150k - 200k+ and that still wont be anywhere near 60%.
I do get to ~40% when you add up federal, state and city. I don't think anyone is really looking at an actual 60%. Maybe 50% if you're making like over a million.
It's silly to the point where I read someone defending our right to use cryptography under the second amendment. It should be part of it's own modern bill of rights or something so there is no ambiguity.
I don't understand why people keep asking this like some kind of magic bullet.
Obviously there is a governmental body that has the authority to do this wherever you are from. And in a democracy that governmental body will be acting based on the will of the people. Even if you disagree that the executive has that authority, the courts have the authority to interpret if they do. And the legislature ultimately has the authority to override it.
In the United States if we all voted for it we could have mandates for every single vaccine ever created. But there is barely enough political will for this one. And that's only because COVID is much more of a threat than anything else at the moment.
Everyone is having a blast doing SCRUM until some manager decides it would be cool for them to keep track of how many story points the team completes as some sort of performance metric.
Prompt: You die Answer: I survive
