The tech bro demo in SF loves high tech electrical stuff, and Lucid, Rivian, Taycan, etc. are, COOL and NEW and align to their political and social sensibilities, while also allowing them to flex the conspicuous consumption and signaling.
Mercedes is not new and does not align to obvious socio-political ideals outside of $$$$.
This is also mid-level bling in the grand scheme; the big money is still driving Lambos
Match tried to squash it cuz it's unflattering and implies that different demographics probably aren't well served by dating apps, or else are hamstrung by the limitations of the platform. Either way it doesn't drive engagement so it got wiped.
You aim for the center of mass -- roughly at the heart. A bullet, thusly aimed, that drops slightly short can still hit someone in the leg or lower abdomen. Or it'll hit the ground and kick up dirt, be more visible.
A fixed height for each tick mark also means you can use the enemy high to roughly calculate distance.
Thought that was about working extra hard to make money and CYA, but really it's about finding your own happiness, regardless of what it may be in a money / status / property sense.

Like I go the rough idea and implications, but didn't "click" until I was trying to explain what the square root of 11 was to my nephew. Was helping him with homework and was doing everything in my head just fine until we hit that and I had to stop and think and it clicked.
Why rob banks for $10k when you can whip up fervor on social media for millions?
Criminal activity is there, basically, cuz people want to get what they want, norms, morals, and the well-being of others be damned. Musk doesn't have to rob banks to get what he wants, and probably never would have since his family owned gemstone mines in S Africa.
If you want to judge the man, see how he treated his ex's, his children, etc. That paints a far less flattering picture.
Those hackers got cool and became the guys in the suits. Dollar Uber Alles
His primary role viz-a-viz the war is going around talking, doing meetings, and drumming up support. Get him on a 12 city tour, except instead of cross-dressing and telling jokes he's cutting deals for aid.
He's no general, and it's likely he doesn't know jack about actually fighting a war. Nor does he need to: he's got actual generals for that, ones who have been fighting w/ the Russians on and off since 2014, on top of real-time intelligence and assistance from the 30 -- say it again, THIRTY -- countries of NATO.
Only if you stockpile lots of GPUs and generators
More about change of scenery, getting out, and tearing myself away from social / personal / work entanglements. Just me vs the iron.
Honestly I think if Putin pulled out he'd be fine -- most of the opposition is dead, running scared, or on his team. A lot of Russian assets have been frozen, though, and if he wants to get those back he'd have to walk away from his 2014 gains, or else justify why all of that $$$ is gone.
to quote an old guy: "first as tragedy, then as farce"
what? no one got beat over flair, and having worked in a lot of serving jobs, the level of violence serving drinks was roughly on par with the number of fights I've seen in the data center.
SK will hem and haw but 6 months from now his team will quietly reinstate the account.
probably true for mcmurdo, but it could also be that any/all real data about the place is banned for outside use. i wouldn't be surprised if you could predict number of people and other details by looking at sewage flows.
Honestly if he kept it in his pants he probably could have been President.
Probably not. Have had good success in the past posting random stuff on reddit, like "I'm paying 12000 / core for Oracle, am I high? Is this common?" in r/sysadmin, and then having people correct me.
But for the most part SaaS ain't offer those prices online. Contact someone, set up time for a call, and get prices. This is why vendor managers, sales engineers, solution architects, etc. are a thing.
And it's still a large, complex, big-name Tech company; experience with working on problems at that scale could open doors later, regardless of who is calling the shots at the top.
I choose a few sites, and check them periodically. BBC News, Drudge, Mother Jones, and occasionally the routing services like AP, Reuters, and AFP. Usually every other day or so, or when I'm bored, have downtime, etc. Occasionally pick up a copy of the Economist when I'm tired of looking at screens.
But on my terms, when I feel like it. No feed or regular updates, no trying to figure out if it's a clickbate headline.
But what about HN? Well, fair enough, though a lot news gets posted to the "active" URL here at HN and that serves as a "hey check AP" flag, so my approach more-or-less holds.
that was Reagan, IIRC
and a follow up about coin flips for sufficiently abstract or complex decisions.
