Very rarely. That's how he has at least kept, if not increased, the fortune he inherited.

His entire adult life is a story of payments to people, usually workers and contractors that did work on "his" buildings, being avoided.

He made considerably more than 30 billion that year. That number based on the 1/3rd the working class pays.
Taxes on the rich should go back to to 70% they used to be.

There were rich people back then, just like now.

Fun fact: Salesforce has been selling this exact service for 8 years now. Its old tech.

It's their Wave Analytics package.

I don't make the stories.

religious fervor.
Modi takes his orders from Stephen Harper a wannabe autocrat who runs a shadowy organizations pushing the far right across the democratic world.

It's why Pierre Poilievre doesn't say anything bad about Modi and India, because they are both in Harper's org.

I suppose one of the issues might well be the nature of software development careers for the last 15 years. Where its weird if you spend more than a few years at a place.

One of the downsides is that you don't get experts in systems and you lose a lot of that expert knowledge base that has traditionally existed when someone spends a decade at a company.

If you've been using the same OS and computer since Firefox's initial release.

You need a new computer.

There are multiple points that we've determined that things would no longer be reversible.

We have likely crossed one of those points. We might be able to save it at this point, but we're probably not able to go back anymore. It's nice to hope that we could go back, but the reality is that it's almost certainly no longer possible.

If you have multiple branches you're mixing into one:

1. Have a code repo. Shockingly a consulting firm I worked at didn't have a repo system.
2. QA each branch.
   Merge all the code.
   Deploy to a testing server and QA that. Fix as needed
   Deploy to staging for final testing. Test and verify deployment procedure. Fix as needed
   Deploy to prod.

Hell, for 3k you could hire someone to haul a tent out to you. Maybe even air drop the damn thing to you.
The self-assembling tent I used to use was only $50.

They've been trying for at least 30 years, probably closer to 50-60 TBH.

One of the concepts they(RIAA/MPAA) were looking into for the entire CD/DVD era was the idea of a time-limited disk that would only work for a short period of time before becoming unreadable.

By the time they got it working, Steam was already a thing and distribution through physical media was on the way out.

Now they control movie theaters through streaming. They stream the movies to the theaters, the theaters rarely get physical or even digital copies anymore. It just gets streamed right to the projector.

You say that, but I had a friend dislike the first movie "because you can't end a movie like that, it didn't solve anything".

She was then politely informed it was a very famous trilogy of books and that there are two other movies.

An Andor-esque prequel with the Fremen fighting under the Harkonnen rule prior to the events of the movie.

watches as the EU does nothing to rein in Google for worse abuse than MS ever tried.

As i understand the current consensus on Spinosaurus:
• it walked on all fours, not on two legs.
• it was probably similar to a giant croc as is mouth is design for catching fish.
• the tail looks like it could be used for swimming, but didn't have the muscle attachments for croc/gator tail swimming.
• which is weird because that should put it in an ideal situation to give fantastic skeletons(similar to the duck billed dinosaurs), but we barely have any. Worse is that the most complete skeleton was destroyed by allied bombing in WW2.
• and all of that raises the question of what the hell was the sail for. Since that doesn't make sense on an aquatic ambush predator.
• moreover, the sail wasn't a one-off, but a feature of half of the spinosaurids, so it was selected for. So it served some useful purpose.

Automation and Beam NG. You can make cars in the former and it has tools to import them into the latter where you can drive them around.

I made a hot-hatch with a supercharged V6 that can go well over 300kph. Also have reproduced the Jaguar xj220 and an 1980s Camaro.

The former is insane, it's just raw power. I fiddled with it and now it is a mid engine supercar that does wheelies when accelerating.

The Camaro is just hilarious fun though.

Yes, but I was never under the impression that SMS was secure, and have never heard anyone say it was secure.

What it was, was cheap, designed to be free, effective and difficult to monetize.

Google RCS is proprietary and designed to sell your data as well as deliver targeted ads to you that you cannot block.

The weird thing is that so many people are buying into the Google and Apple marketing on SMS being insecure.

If you're on an unroooted smartphone running stock OS, nothing you do is secure

No, but you're not trying to sell your abilities to write things. The entire point of OpenAI as a company is to sell its LLM.

Monetization and adware.
