It hasn't been a major issue since the first few years of general use. Some people got burned and remember but not the other 99 cables that were fine.
You should still by from a trusted or well reviewed source/manufacturer. My issue is the cheaper long cables I have all work but charging is not fast, just normal speed.
Because Condorcet is still better than nearly all implementations of first past the post. But I think the commenter is getting at instant runoff voting methods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting
None are perfect but IRV is in use and effective. Tactical voting is still an option but at scale either obvious or difficult to organize without being obvious.
I can go to jail for refusing to be drafted sure but my life would not be at risk the same way someone with a rough pregnancy might. Anecdotal but my sister in law would not be alive today if she had not had the option to end unsafe pregnancies prior to having 2 healthy children.
I'd assume the GOP leadership in TX will act in bad faith or for their protection first. If you have a single female friend or associate this ruling will impact you. It will have far reaching consequences beyond just abortion access including the possibility of IVR becoming illegal as well. We're about to see a huge slate of medical procedures and practices caught up in this ruling.
It's hugely minority. 60-73% support abortion access the question is where the limits/timelines should be and that number is only growing especially now that there is a spotlight on the issue. You will now see some 18 mostly small population red states pass extreme laws restricting abortion access while a majority of voters even in those states are against such laws.
EX a small brewery building a 20+ barrel setup as that is the predicted need in 3-5 years then leasing or partnering use of half their facility while building their brand and distribution network. Then when ready they have the capacity to 'expand' without the costs of said expansion.
For startups/new breweries it can be a double edged sword leading to high initial debt or overhead costs but with the right leadership/strategy/product it definitely pays out over time.
The market can stay irrational longer than most can stay solvent. In this case Crypto has been on a tear for a decade and legitimate criticism is shouted down by the raw gains even when rationally Crypto has minimal real world value.
Gold has had a weak return vs most assets over the past decade and is usually upsold as a worthwhile asset by the people making money off selling gold. It sounds like you're drinking the flavor aid.
Crypto solves a bunch of problems of its own making while retaining all the human problems (fraud, etc) of the existing banking system without hundreds of years of regulations and policy to stabilize systems and attempt accountability.
Tether is analogous to the gold standard but without verifying the gold exists in reserves, or ever existed at all. Exchanges are facilitating billions in money laundering and fraud while eating massive fees and paying millions to founders. Transactions can be hidden behind shell wallets/groups and filtered through many exchanges reducing transparency and increasing odds of successful illegal activity.
There is a ton of legitimate criticism just looking at the fraud side of Crypto and how lack of regulation in that space enables a ton of crime. It's often drowned out by PR or the next big blockchain based thing that seems flashy but still comes with all the same problems as regular physical money.
It's like asking your IT group to install spyware on users workstations instead of respecting or enforcing HR policy. It's a people problem, not a tech problem.
It's "Doesn't she look tired" but for the federal government as an entity. Much of the conservative side of the country still actively fights any expansion or increase to the federal government however nowadays it's more about greed and grift ex limiting regulations on businesses, expanding mining/drilling options vs EPA protections, or removing worker/voter rights.
The concept that government is there to help is taken like a conspiracy theory and slowly 'Starving the beast' provides ample opportunity for failure that only furthers anti-federalist mentality. Or as some should be saying as they campaign, "Government doesn't work, elect me and I'll prove it!"
Yeah, docker simplifies deployment and maintenance/rebuild time. I've stuck to fairly clean/default setups on any computer I use to keep rebuild time down or at least try to use the built in/simple tools of whatever OS I'm using and Docker is the perfect version of that for small services. I say all this of course while running pihole on a pi4 that also serves DHCP so I don't have to mess with it much...
I used to run pihole on various Linux distros I was testing for home server stuff. It used to be that some distros needed a few packages added to support pihole properly but nowadays the app itself is more streamlined and/or most common distros include the minimum components. I think pihole did focus on streamlining to enable easier docker support which is where I should be putting my install whenever I get back to messing with the homelab. I've been working in windows systems for work so everything is currently Win Server based which plex doesn't seem happy with but is easier than running the whole thing as VMs on my older hardware.
Similarly, my dad has a few email lists he is part of that route their links through something pihole tends to block, be it tracking or ad based, and I had to work with him to go to the website itself then find the articles he was after. Fully legit otherwise and I eventually found ad whitelisted the tracking domain on his pihole instance. He still says it is vastly worth it vs the ads he sees on his tablet when traveling or at other families homes.
Nowadays 'affording' a 'cheap' state school is guessing if you can walk away with 20-50k of debt vs 50-150k. My younger brother had solid scholarships and still walked out with 25k. I graduated in 3 years and luckily my parents covered the last tuition check and I still had 15k.
At this point I've paid my debts and still welcome relief for students who didn't have the same opportunities as me.
There is no 'cheap' 4 year school anymore. Costs can be mitigated by going to a Community College for an associates/first 2 years then bridge that into a 4 year program but if you want to go for research, engineering, or many other more dedicated programs then being at the 4 year school all 4 years leads to many more connections and opportunities that some feel are worth the cost.
Borrowing beyond ones means isn't always fully understood by a group of 17-18 year olds, especially those who may be first generation college students or from school districts that have spent 2+ decades now losing resources for educating students on college options in order to focus on the kids failing out. For example, many college apps I completed in 2011 needed a letter of rec from my counselor who I had talked to once as a sophomore but spent most of his time working with students on the edge of failing or dropping out. It's archaic just like how the US college system operates as a capitalists dream and not a public service.
In terms of fair, well policy hasn't been fair in a long time either. The 2017 tax bill raised my taxes and pushed a trillion plus surplus back to the wealthy - a much worse outcome for all then cancelling student debt without a deeper plan. It may not seem "fair" to you but that doesn't make it bad policy.
Reducing costs via layoffs may come with budget for temp/contractors but most medium/large companies put that toward staffing services that manage skill checks/etc. and supply capable people for specific tasks or projects. My company does this already and hardly has solo freelancers.
At the same time, those contractors can run 1.5-2x the hourly rates for existing staff so they are pushing to hire/promote to full time roles vs bridging a position that has yet to be filled, someone who left unexpectedly, etc.
More or less, the budget for filling gaps at medium/large companies likely will go to staffing agencies and not freelancers. Small companies likely will see an increase in demand for one off projects but it would still be a matter of funding those projects in the face of poor economic outlook.
Another thing to consider is that there will be an influx of quality talent though with a learning curve to stage their own freelance business. Companies may return to axed staff for assistance with systems or projects the ex-staff understand, even at a premium vs full time hourly rates. The increase in supply may flatten or reduce income for unestablished freelancers or limit growth for those with contacts.
I don't think this group is thinking within the constraints of the law. There can be no trust in this, the data is out there and no longer in Nvidia's control. Even if they fully accept the terms, the group can still do what they want.
