Your argument about knowledge being lost is probably valid but I am not sure it's convincing. If your research creates results that result in products being sold elsewhere, like say in medicine, that will mean patents and local opportunities for high value export oriented business like pharma companies. Which could bring in much needed foreign currency for the new zealand economy and help boost it's GDP per capita. Which right now in ppp terms is more at the level of Eastern Europe than the west. In other words new zealand has some catch-up to do.

Love the decision tbh. Social science does not deserve money. There has been too much fraud going on and I'm not sure about the benefits compared to hard science or medical science. I do understand why this impacts Maori disproportionately but making this matter about race is unfair. we're talking about a very small number of researchers here. The average person of whichever race is only affected in the sense that his tax dollars are spent more effectively.

Paying tax is normal for most companies. I am not sure why the us is being the slave of these companies and threatening retaliation. Apparently it wants to be the only one to take a cut (despite money being made from Italians). That's extreme. If NATO is a family of mobsters, then this is not how things are done within the family. I know we're not supposed to anger the us as they are the best guarantor for European security and freedom but such bullying tactics, effectively making Italy pay a tribute like a vassal state, does make me question whether we can be independent and guarantee such things ourselves.

I dont think it's going to be that important. Different people have different learning styles but also vastly different capacities making this really difficult to research accurately. People claim to find the secret sauce from time to time. They're most likely wrong.

the American justice system is flawed. It's mob justice that was only fit for the 1700s when there was nothing better. Or maybe there was,I wasn't around. Untrained people can't decide on guilt or innocence. They can't judge evidence. They allow themselves to be swayed by beauty or likeability to greater extent. They're lives are no good, on average. This makes most of them mean and vindictive. If they can allow someone to suffer like they have, it feels good to them.

I'm not sure whether it's racism. It's the usual explanation for this phenomenon. I can understand racism. I don't believe in opening the floodgates. it sounds more like plain bloodlust. Because blood is what you're going to get if you go on this way.

Sounds like you have been to the Rijks and nowhere else. Lots of old paintings of all kinds of scenes hang in lots of museums all over this country. Not a huge museum goer but this lacks nuance.

Rembrandt did not work in this resolution so i think zoomed in it will just be a bunch of random noise.

I guess this does give some insights. Using a more space efficient language for your codebase will mean more functionality in the ais context window when working with Claude and code.

It's a really expensive piece of software. They do not publish their prices because of it. I don't think it's reasonable to market such products onto your average dev because of it. Anyhow Cython and a bunch of others provide a free and open source alternative.

the only thing that is evidence of is that people never wanted to die.

Basically they did about a thousand things and it resulted in some very real improvements. Their view is that there's no single cause but many and each cause needs to be addressed individually. Which seems realistic. But it doesn't help us see what does what exactly.

Deadline by the end of the sprint is not how we typically approach things even in a scrum context. I'm not sure whether there's any words about it in the scrum dogma.

If you're enjoying it well enough this is typically not a concern. I do take breaks when the program is building though. Or when I'm not feeling it. Please don't try to replace your feelings by ridiculously rigid schemes.

Talk about failing upwards

In the sense of the article artists have always done their best to cater to the taste of the people who might pay them. At least from the 16th century. They were typically paid for and protected by a mecenas (wealthy Merchant or nobility). There are no doubt exceptions but in general the art was to please their mecenas.

Do pigs, in fact, fly?

Is that you boss?

Because a lot of tech companies are monopolies and do not have to compete. They can do what they want.

I think this is just pushing so called georgist ideology literally nothing else.

Look he is no more so he won't be offended. It is his family that is doing this. Unless some other similarly close family member objects I don't see a big issue.

This made me laugh a lot. You know how to write.

When I read an intro to game dev the first thing I read should be how to draw something to the screen not a discussion of design patterns. I get that lispers might like that but for anyone else it's probably less than informative.

There's fortunately no need to use any apple products. The ones most hurt by this will probably be Apple. Especially if functionality breaks as stated here. It will mean the 'luxury phone brand' is now a broken phone brand at least in the EU. Apple users might switch and I think Samsung is most likely to get them.

The research does not match the title. C is performant/energy efficient, but C isn't a very green choice for an average project because you require more programmers who cost a ton of money and are likely to spend it on flight trips, SUVs et cetera.

Is there a reason these vacuum tubes aren't able to do large vehicles?

My data does not align. We have 15 million adults and nine million cars.

I wouldn't mind honestly. Seems like a good excuse to skip the social obligations.

Judge decides that he is a lawmaker now. This unfortunately happens quite a lot. It erodes trust in the judicial system

You lost your bet. I don't abuse our users. How much did I earn?

I'm not sure what you have against hired developers. We just want to earn money for coding, is this a crime?
