Then you should complain to YouTube that too many people arenâ(TM)t watching the ads. I started blocking the ads when 15s became an unskippable 1:30. At one point they were even allowing full other YouTube movies as âoeadsâ although they eventually became skippable after 30s.
And the worst thing is that I donâ(TM)t care for any of the ads, I donâ(TM)t need a new car, Iâ(TM)m too poor to buy most of the luxury items and Iâ(TM)m really not interested in makeups and perfume.
It mention sales and revenue. So it could still be that sales (what the customer gets charged by their insurance) is down by millions whilst quarterly revenue (what Merck gets from the Insurance) only goes down by a little over 100M. Or that the millions are projected over multiple quarters whilst revenue for this quarter is down exactly by this number.
Although I think $135M is enough money to consider dropping Microsoft, if you have one of these every quarter, your argument for âoecost savings with the status quoâ is moot,
They stockpile vaccines specifically for this reason. A big fire, apparently a simple virus that every decent OS and AV wouldnâ(TM)t run or even market upset could cause companies like Merck to reduce or stop output. The theory is that in those cases the CDC could set up other production lines whilst using the stockpile.
I can pay three to five salaries with the cost of Amazon. And even though you have Amazon, you still need those IT people to set it up and help people use it.
$200k/y for a service that cost $50k in hardware, $1k in power and 5% of a jr. FTE - reals savings.
Your definition of âoemodestâ is based on your current standing in life. I could make enough money to buy that thing and still remain âoemodestâ and happy with my life.
I make more money than I have ever before in life and I am much more happy and still consider myself just as modest even though I no longer have to scrape for rent of a 200sqft flat.
You do have to put it in context though. Slaves were sub-human machines to most of the US (both North and South) back then.
Take away the slaves is like taking away the H1Bs from a tech company or machines from a factory, itâ(TM)s not about the concept of slavery but the money and economy it represents.
It can be hard to conceptualize but the facts of those days were a bit different than our interpretation of it. To the south, the end of slavery meant the end of cheap labor and they feared the majority of their labor force migrating north to work in the factories.
In context though, slaves were not kept nor the war created for the sake of slavery.
Slavery was already on its way out due to automation and industrialization.
Slavery was to them as the AI and H1B fears are to us, itâ(TM)s a great rally cry but the reasons behind it are expressed in money and economy. If the north had offered to replace slaves by subsidizing the machines that allowed the north to go without, the war may never have been.
Additionally, the war was in the Southâ(TM)s favor, they had a better military and a more stable economy, yes, due to slavery.
Catalonia is to Spain and the EU as Luxembourg is to the BENELUX. They have a great deal of foreign commerce due to favorable business laws. If they go, then itâ(TM)s bad news bears for the entire EU since theyâ(TM)ve already lost Britain.
If the EU canâ(TM)t fix it, which in the cases of Greece and Turkey were both argued as reasons to include them even though they didnâ(TM)t have the prerequisite economy and freedoms respectively required of other states, then it can only make them worse.
Catalonia has a decent enough economy if it werenâ(TM)t for the Spanish and EU burden. They have some pretty exclusive products like the majority of Southern EU that are legally entrenched (eg you canâ(TM)t sell Bordeaux or Champagne in Europe if they didnâ(TM)t originate from the region).
It also has the largest percentage of all foreign (non-EU) companies in Spain compared to any other Spanish regions.
They could be another Luxembourg or Monaco, only bigger and with lots of sheep and goat.
Itâ(TM)s hyperbole. You can make just as many claims on either side of the aisle. Trump has his Russian friends in business, Clinton/Obama apparently had their Russian friends in politics.
Good luck with that. No farmer in this world uses or would survive on a zero pesticide policy.
If you want to see how apples look when theyâ(TM)re not cultivated with pesticides, there are plenty of wild apple trees out there and although you can eat some of them that are still on the tree, the majority will be waste.
It says Georgia, which is a very âoesouthernâ and thus Republican state only got a very narrow victory on Trump. It seems to me that the only evidence that was erased was a failed attempt at making the state turn blue.
The only time they voted in favor of a Democrat in the last few decades was with another very, very narrow victory for another Clinton.
The bleach solution is per FDA requirements more dilute than lots of tap water. The primary reason is not to remove any chemicals but to prevent common bugs and harmful microbes from remaining on the fruit.
The other problem with this âoetestâ is that organic apples are sprayed with more chemicals than regular apples, worse yet, organic farming has zero oversight on the chemicals they spray as long as the chemicals are considered âoecertified organicâ
What is the difference between how and why? The only answer to why is by explaining how. God is a cop out for those that find explaining too difficult.
The question is not, where did we go, the question is why didn't you?
I just shed the moniker of "programmer" after being a "Senior Programmer" for the last 5 years, I'm not even close to 40 and I'm now moving into executive management. Most of my peers have done the same and a few of them even made it to the C-level around 40yo.
If you're passionate about programming, there are plenty of projects I contribute to as a hobby, but as a job, grunt programming is a bit too stressful to handle when you have a real life, kids etc.
Real farming is much more stressful imho, especially if you start mid-life with zero experience.
There is no way you are less stressed waking up for 14h days most of the year and having sleepless nights when it's starting to freeze early or rain late in the seasons and then to be able to negotiate deals with stores around the country to be able to sell the tons of produce before you've even created it and then having to deal with a dozen highly computerized factories-on-wheels, the hundreds of seasonal workers and the regulations surrounding illegals, FDA inspections etc.
And all of this, I suppose you do without a degree in agricultural engineering and an business degree?
This is about software update service, not about a website, if you are designing the system to work over the Internet, you should never trust that in any particular environment any particular domain is legitimate.
It's not even guaranteed that all subdomains or even all pages on Dell.com are owned by Dell Corp, through JavaScript injection or simply taking over a web server, you could host malware on the main domain. You could also have a hostile DNS resolver in your network redirect Dell.com anywhere the attacker wishes.
So to "trust" anything on Dell.com blindly is just as stupid as trusting that anything with Dell in the name is part of Dell. That's my point.
No, fact determination without presupposition is not at all "AI". Current computers are VERY, VERY GOOD at fact determination, they can after all exactly recollect what has happened at any point they observed something.
These things are just big "autonomous filters", not intelligent at all, so garbage-in, garbage-out. It does allow for some interpolation of non-existent data based on the fact determination. What Google and co. are building are programs that require less programming, so for example, to manually write every line of code for every event of an autonomous car, you would have to have lots and lots of code, too much for anyone to manage. These "AI's" are simply programs that write themselves all sorts of cases based on the inputs they receive and these are very narrow and guided adaptations.
Intelligence, IMHO, has nothing to do with facts (which any automaton can recite facts) but rather with accurate modeling of the facts beneficial for the furtherance of the species (whether that species is biological, mechanical, electronic or a combination). The question is whether we "intelligent humans" are "just fact filters" or if there's more to it. To me, it seems we should be able to emulate even human brains with the amount of processing power available to us but we just haven't figured out yet what it means to be intelligent.

The question is why would you live in a house that is on fire when cheaper or free houses with built-in fire sprinklers exist.

Theyâ(TM)re not very realistic. You mean they release the same game with slightly higher resolution textures.
If they were intending to be a more realistic simulator, they would have to do research in weapons, accuracy and injury modeling.

Organic farming in the US and EU is farming that only uses âoecertified organicâ pesticides.
Additionally, the FDA does not oversee the amount of âoeorganicâ pesticides are being used.
You can look it up. Organic does not mean no pesticides, it only means it doesnâ(TM)t use pesticides that arenâ(TM)t approved for the label.
Organic produce uses more pesticides than non-organic...
It also presumes that organic produce does not have pesticides which a single trip to a farm supply store will prove wrong.
That âoecommercial bleach solutionâ is 0.5ppm chlorine, that tap water you drink is 2-4ppm.
Good luck with that. No farmer in this world uses or would survive on a zero pesticide policy.
