And everything else. Each google maps client likely has an ID that is used to link each one back to your gmail. Regardless of whether you've signed in at time of map query.
Well I wrote "sounds like", so the comment was sort of in jest.
But now I've gotten negative feedback (-2 ?!) I'm thinking that sensitivity training is oppressive. Any criticism of such training appears to be vehemently opposed and I'm now not so sure such training should be seen as without agenda.
So. No. Now I'm not joking. This appears to be an interesting discovery. What was seemingly a throwaway comment that should have passed unnoticed looks like it has revealed some form of censorship of anything even slightly critical (even a joke).
Perhaps "Re-education camps" wasn't far off the mark.
Interesting criticism. Perhaps more context would help.
They were rude about it. And it was appropriate to criticise the child and the parent. The parent was criticised as that child also did it to others up to that point. Other behaviours like bullying were also creeping in. They hadn't properly addressed it until I actually refused the fake apology. The child had behavioural issues that have now been positively improved through their deliberate effort in subsequent months. Evidence of this is has been seen by teachers at his school apparently. Definitely in his behaviour I've seen as well as his sister.
And he's on the school basketball team now. What a terrible present! Children dislike things for non obvious reasons. Just like adults.
The anecdote shows how an apology has impact. Perhaps you can't handle someone holding a boundary line on acceptable behaviour and this hit a raw nerve for you? I don't know.
The coal was a reference to Christmas, not a grudge.
Having had a Christmas present rejected by a 10 year old I’m well aware of fake apologies. The kid, who had expressed interest in basketball multiple times, asked me a pointed "why did you give me a basketball?" Accusatory tone as if I had gifted him a turd. When suggested by the relevant horrified parent to apologise he laughed. Then later when forced to apologise he did so robotically. I asked him why he was apologising. "Because I had to". When I asked him if he understood why, he said no. Being the offended party I suggested he think about the why before he considered apologising. He disappeared for awhile then came back with a smirk on his face and apologised again. I asked him why he was apologising again when he didn't mean it. Again "because he was told to."
Delivery and intent actually matters.
Maybe this year a certain someone will get some coal.
From that link:
“Spreadsheet errors are costing businesses billions of pounds, according to a financial modeling company, which is calling for the introduction of industry-wide standards to reduce the risk of mistakes.
F1F9 estimated that 88 percent of all spreadsheets have errors in them, while 50 percent of spreadsheets used by large companies have material defects. The company said the mistakes are not just costly in terms of time and money - but also lead to damaged reputations, lost jobs and disrupted careers.”
6502 zeropage addressing effectively made it a risc by today’s standards. Done right it made for fast and compact code.
Sometimes I’d throw in an extra instruction as alternate entry point into a subroutine. We’d be scrounging for ROM space and would adhoc a subroutine into the end of a different one.
Time delays were another good reason. An extra cycle mattered when you needed to sync with something.
Made for fun times when debugging but you did what you did.
Given I’ve never had reason to use a y-combinator, mocking bird or eta or any of the other colourful terms from the article this post about GPS seems vaguely appropriate.
Which means that in around 14 days I’ll suddenly need to revisit this article and learn all about it because it’s suddenly useful.
Life is strange like that. I do like the term “why bird” though.
UK and Australia are the test beds. US is the target. From there it flows onwards and outwards. Like raw sewage over the Niagara Falls.
The AU my.health opt-out debacle[1] is similar. UK got in first, promised they wouldn’t sell the data then did so. AU then started by copying the UK’s best practice. So... fun times ahead.
They’re still trying to get the gun laws fit for size in the US but the political climate and history is too different. And the attempt on the health system via Obamacare didn’t quite take either. More time needed apparently.
Still got the book for that board. Friend of mine had a box of the things controlling a set of greenhouses and other sheds. They were the equivalent of the arduino back in the day. Reliable as well.
I know a bunch of companies are packaging chips, displays etc in the US but are surely not even remotely at the scale Apple needs.
In reality the industry would probably need to re-tool multiple manufacturing capabilities involving multiple disciplines to the massive scale required. This is not impossible but it’s going to cost and it will take entire tech ecosystems and supply chains to be built. At least five years to a decade to be actually considered “operational”. Maybe this is the end goal: investment needs to occur and pressuring Apple is the way to start.
Maybe Trump is trying to get Apple incentivised to repatriate some of the ocean of cash they have.
The prices aren’t even related to cost of materials or time or even linked to inflation. Maybe patents or research costs are included, maybe not. It’s all a game between hospitals and financial companies.
Survival is a very low bar. Going bankrupt qualifies as surviving since being alive along with having faith in the future can be enough to rebound successfully. Plenty of millionaires exist now because they learnt from failure from bad luck or poor execution of a plan.
Whether we taxpayers will be able to bail out various institutions that should have failed dismally last time is another matter. According to the article, banks are better off now but that remains to be seen. Nothing like reality to expose a gap in planning or regulations. Multiple institutions have likely not learnt their lesson and are probably unbalanced or unstable right now.
The downturn is likely already happening in some sectors in some obscure way and what the flashpoint will be is anyone’s guess. Possibly student loans but that’s a slow burn safely covered by the government and people who can’t escape paying so it’s effectively already bailed out. Might be the unpaid pensions which are already hitting the budgets of multiple states. Petrodollar consequences may be a factor since it might cause moneyprinting to be less effective.
