I don't think any of the third part devs are asking for it to be free. The Apollo devs initial response to the announcement was "I'm honestly looking forward to the pricing and the stuff you're rolling out provided it's enough to keep me with a job. You guys seem nothing but reasonable, so I'm looking to finding out more." Then they announced pricing which is 29x the current revenue per user, and are blocking NSFW content from the API anyway.
> At the end of the video, you can see that he drives "off road" off the trail without any problems.
"off road" at the end is like 5cm deep powder on top of compact snow, which has been exposed to sunlight. The snow at the beginning, where he could have tried to turn around, is completely powder because it's sheltered by trees and looks to be more like 60+cm deep. His turn radius also would have likely led him into a tree: https://imgur.com/a/bDLV2lL. Then he would need to get away from a potentially charging moose, which can top out at 56km/h. You wouldn't be able to go that fast on this narrow and winding of a trail -> the moose will catch him if it charges.
> If that were so, don't you think that person has feet? Or is the amount of snow too much for him to walk as well?
If you expect someone to get in a footrace with a charging moose in any conditions, let alone 30-40+cm deep snow, I don't know what to say.
You come across as a deeply unhappy and unpleasant person, and I wish you luck with your life.
The snow is too deep on either side, with too many trees to quickly and effectively turn around without getting stuck. It might work, but he could very easily have gotten stuck trying to do it. You also need to drive forward to start the turn, and the moose absolutely can outrun your snowmobile in that snow, so if it attacks you're going to have a problem.
Reverse isn't always available on snowmobiles. Even if this one had reverse, in this loose snow it would likely dig in and bury itself. I guess you've never ridden a snowmobile?
I'm saying ads aren't "addictive", because they're pretty despised. They might be effective, when people see them, but I don't think anyone is "addicted" to ads.
Not the person you're replying to, but you can calculate the "implied volatility" using the current option pricing vs the current stock price. As the consensus of price movement (up or down) increases, the option prices go up.
1) "Look what they're doing and how bad it is"
2) "We would never do something like that"
3) Do something like that.
4) "What do you mean we're doing that? This is 'whataboutism', we were talking about how terrible the other group is!"
I hope you will come around some day. I'm equally worried about the authoritarianism of both parties, and can't decide which dystopia I'd rather live in. Option A: No right to self-defense but having abortion rights, letting violent criminals out on $0 bail. Option B: A right to self-defense but living in a country which wants to legislate based on religion.
> minor painting around the edges of trying to implement sensible gun restrictions to mitigate the onslaught of mass murders is somehow implementing authoritarianism.
This is exactly what I’m talking about. Just because it doesn’t affect you it’s “not that bad.” It is that bad. It is not “minor”. NYS is openly defying a Supreme Court Order, infringing on constitutional rights, saying “I don’t need data to prove (these laws) will change anything”, while citing racist laws from the 1800s as proof that their restrictions have history.
Antonyuk v Bruen: NYS Defense of the “good moral character clause” is “ From the early days of English settlement in America, the colonies sought to prevent Native American tribes from acquiring firearms”. But that’s fine justification for you, because you don’t like guns. NYS literally defended its requirement for character references with a CT law from the 1800s that said “any free negro who wishes to carry a firearm must obtain character references from several white neighbors, attesting to his character and temperament”. If this was any other topic, the dems would be decrying this racist rhetoric, but instead they’re the ones pushing it forward and standing behind it, while pretending to be the arbiters of racial equality.
I’m not disagreeing with you on the republicans poor behavior. But if you think the dems are the saints here and are “upholding democracy, law and order” or something, then I don’t think you can be helped. You’re just as blind as the republicans followers, and doing the same “frothing at the mouth” that they do about how bad the other side is, while ignoring pretending your side is the savior.
No, I don’t think I will stop it, until people start to realize the democrats are doing the same thing. Also, what an authoritarian response for someone claiming not to be authoritarian.
The Democrats are actively ignoring Supreme Court rulings (Bruen case and the Hochul administration in NY doing exactly what the Supreme Court told them they could not do, which was to declare the entire state a “sensitive location”).
The Democrats also redraw voting districts as they like, just as they accuse the republicans of.
You have states like CA intentionally leaking the names, addresses and purchase lists of gun owners.
The entirety of “social authoritarianism” belongs to the democrats.
> Indeed it's on the cusp of a full scale fascist take over.
From the democrats or republicans? ("Both" would be closest to correct, if we assume your statement is true.)
Edit: oooh did I make the left or the right angry with this comment? Both sides are authoritarian and infringing on your rights wherever they can, while simultaneously convincing their followers that only the opponents do it.
Or there are programmers who write both. Something that I want to write once, have run on several different platforms, handle multi-threading nicely, and never have to think about again? Rust. Writing something to read in some data to unblock an ML engineer or make plots for management? Definitely not Rust, probably python. Then you can also churn out things at 10x the speed, but by writing the tricky parts in something other than python, you don't get dragged back down by old projects rearing their ugly heads, so you outpace the python-only colleagues in the long-term.
You will never be _sure_ that it's limited to that age range, because what's appropriate for a given age is pretty subjective. I don't know why people are obsessed with making perfectly isolated bubbles for kids, it's just not possible.
Not everything is a conspiracy. If you buy a used laptop and the previous owner didn't remove it from their icloud first, you can still try to get them to unlock it for you. As a buyer, make sure it was removed from their icloud before you buy it. It's a very useful anti-theft measure, and Apple warns you about this on their site to take those steps before selling it.
What parts? The screen / front camera assembly also stays locked if the phone it was on was stolen. The FaceID / TouchID data is stored on the camera module.
I work at one of these big companies, and at least how we do it is to see what kind of candidates we get, then compare seniority vs potential vs abilities, and decide which person is the best overall fit. This might be a junior person who gets $120k/year or a senior person that will get $400k/year. It depends on who applies, and how they would fit in with the team. 90-900k is quite a gap, but 150k-900k would be kind of reasonable to be honest.
Written from the comfort of your warm home with your secure, easily replaceable tech job. It's very easy to be philosophical when it's not your entire life and family history at stake.
Answering questions like "what should people do instead?" is important to figuring out how we can move away from things that damage the climate. If you just tell people "your life and livelihood isn't as important as X" isn't going to get that person to agree with you.
You realize there are entire towns and villages whose lives depend on this tourism, right? I'm not saying it's a perfect solution to fly snow in, but you can't discount the impact this has on the population if the resorts close down.
