boomer brained judge
Boomer here. Don’t assume we all think the same. Determining behavior from age brackets is about as effective as doing it based on Chinese astrology (but I’m a Monkey so I would say that, wouldn’t I?)
The judge’s problem is being a nitwit, not what year they were born in.
The judge should have had the sense to keep this shitty craft project out of the courtroom. Victim statements should also be banned as manipulative glurge.
Has Musk ever met a dictator he doesn’t like?
Add it to the myriad other things Trump doesn’t know.
Where would we be without predatory rent-seeking?
Someone’s going to make a fortune migrating firms off VMWare onto open-source VMs.
A nice place to experience despotism with some glitz applied to it.
The maid-rape ride should be the best of Disney family fun.
The work in the sense that they cause weight loss. They do nothing to keep the weight off once it’s lost. And they have side-effects, some quite nasty.
I mean, its already a thing.
And it’s gradually being phased out everywhere but the US. In particular, the EU has been cracking down on small, corrupt countries such as Malta and Cyprus running this shitty scam.
The Democrats should make it clear that any such visa will be revoked as soon as they’re back in control. But that would require them to have a spine, so I won’t be holding my breath.
That should never be allowed in court. What a crock of shit.
It will only serve to make AfD supporters even more convinced they are right.
Caring what the fascists think is a recipe for failure. All they respect is power. You don’t persuade them, the best you can do is behavior modification.
Ineffectual regulation doesn’t work. There needs to be more resolve.
Propaganda feeds the anxiety. We have to understand that propaganda is not free speech, and shut it down.
The other big source of anxiety is the capitalist tendency to drive working people into a situation of precariousness so that they remain compliant. Mitigating that requires a social safety net similar to that provided in northern-tier social democracies.
Good thing nothing is permanent in politics.
It’s pretty straightforward to install PostgreSQL and its GIS extensions. Maybe not one line, but within the abilities of any semi-experienced Linux user.
If you want some visualization capability with your data, IBL Visual Weather (Go, Bratislava!) can also be made to be highly functional and performant, though it can be tricky to set up.
There’s no mention of EDR in the DuckDB blurb (which QGIS now has as a semi-mature plugin). EDR is a newish OCG standard that lets you do multidimensional GIS queries in a sensible way. This is especially useful for environmental data where you might want to query a large number of parameters in a region, a volume, or along a trajectory. Previous approaches to doing this in GIS systems were frustrating at best, and more often, nonexistent.
My job involves wrangling metric shit-tons of geo data and I know literally nobody who uses DuckDB. I’ll have a look in my copious free time, but if its main selling point is ease of installation, that one-time benefit means next to nothing compared to getting the DB (and its visualization capabilities, if any) to actually store and manipulate data in a useful way.
Having said all that, it’s nice that there are new entrants in the field. But please don’t make it end up like the situation with content management systems, where everyone thinks it’s a good idea to write a new CMS and 99% of them are crap.
The ultimate value of shares is in the dividends they represent, no?
No. The actual (and only) value of shares is investors’ expectation of the value of future appreciation in share value and of dividends. And there is not a constant relationship between share values and dividends: the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio can vary hugely depending on the nature of the business and on investor sentiment-- for example, P/E can be massive during a speculative frenzy, with no underlying reason besides wishful thinking.
The list of things Trump does know would be vanishingly short.
A democracy cannot exist when anti-democratic elements can seize power. In other words, violate the social contract and get your sorry fascist ass banned.
Slow-roll it. Trump doesn’t have many more years in him.
