This sort of large-scale case can take MANY YEARS to develop. I had some minor part in a large suit against the major US investment banks alleging some very nasty collusion. If you read the emails from discovery, you'd think it would have ended with everyone's head on a chopping block. You'd be wrong. Although a couple of the worst offenders did go under before they could face the courts due to their rampant illegal activities in the housing market (this was 2007~2008).
I checked and these were taken on the first day:
mindtheg.app, cr.app, takean.app, theh.app, itsatr.app, f.app, so.app, doublet.app, mish.app, ballc.app, bitm.app, deathtr.app, handic.app, giddy.app, syr.app, hicc.app, marketc.app, dda.app
In the industry that produces the most actual documents with English writing on them (sorry publishers, ya basic) we use two spaces after a period. I also read MSWord docs with all formatting marks visible, so it's immediately apparent when it's wrong (i.e. one space). I guarantee any attorney that uses one space or inconsistently uses two spaces makes all sorts of other grammatical/formatting errors.
While there is no "technical" advantage to skins in the game, the psychological advantage is significant. Once I wore my John Wick skin, enemy players became much more defensive. And nobody tries to shoot me in the back at long distances anymore ("How do you shoot the Devil in the back? What if you miss?"). I've still only spent $10 on the game and received lots of skins/emotes/whatnot.
Assuming he's not an idiot and downloaded ONE copy, rather than downloading a new copy for each CD, the bandwidth and storage costs are virtually zero. Not sure how you got modded insightful.
Just don't say anything when you answer a call from an unknown number. A real person will always ask "Hello" in a questioning voice. Robocalls don't know how to deal with silence and hang up. And even if they learn to interpret long silence, they'll never navigate the awkward handshake that happens when the person answering the call doesn't get in the first "Hello".
That's a lot to write for someone who doesn't seem to understand how the FOIA works. Next time, save my OCD some time and read, don't write: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
His second-highest source of funding is TV/Movies/Music. Number 10 for him is Telecom Services. No mention of funding from law enforcement or anything of that nature, so you get an idea of who really wants the legislation.
What drivel. Engineering leans intensely on complex math. Try teaching that to a bunch of disinterested, undereducated children. Many (most?) people actually interested in Engineering drop out after the first year in college. Software Engineering is a much easier pill to swallow and leverages technologies modern youth are already intimately familiar with. No kid is going to go home and start designing a bridge, but any kid can go home and make their first webpage or app.
Rule #1 of Engineering: your ideas are useless if they don't work in the real world. I give you a D-. And an F to everyone on Slashdot that modded you Insightful.
I might have that... I do ok with imagining basic geometric objects, but I have extreme difficulty with anything else. With basic geometric shapes I can actually almost see them in my head, but anything else I get more of a general impression that feels disconnected from vision.
Picturing anything I could make in AutoCAD, no problem.
Picturing my hand after just looking at it, I retain the shape for a second or two and then the proportions rapidly destabilize, the fingers shrink, palm grows, nails disappear completely. Yet I still have fine proprioception with my eyes closed.
That grey blur thing is about as accurate as dogs seeing "grey" because they're colorblind. There's just no great way to illustrate it. I see faces fine, but they don't stay in my head. I guess I'd say I've developed a general conception of what's attractive the same as everyone else (personal experience). What makes a face attractive is largely symmetry and balance of proportions, so I don't need to recognize your face to appreciate those things.
I will say it is objectively weird to look in the mirror. I look almost exactly like my father, and even though I couldn't really describe his face, I can somehow recognize that I sometimes look exactly like him in the mirror.
I can finally show this article to my wife and she'll think I'm a little less crazy.
I recognize voice, gait and stance very well. I also have great recollect for floorplans and topography. Hair changes frequently enough to not be super helpful for me.
My 3rd grade art teacher gave the class a project to draw your own face and I broke down crying because I didn't understand how everyone else could start drawing from memory. The teacher gave me a mirror, but just looking away from the mirror was enough to forget what my face looked like. Luckily, this is also the teacher that eventually taught me to just draw the individual lines you see. I'm still a shit artist for anything not predominately geometric.
Welcome to your 30's (I'm regrettably leaving mine in a few years). I've basically quit drinking outside of social situations (where I still drink more than I'd like, but less than my friends/coworkers). I originally cut back from 4-6 beers per night (similar to your wine) by switching to weed for a couple years. That brings its own negatives (particularly motivation), but it's easier for me to quit. I can take a month off weed without missing it terribly and my drinking remains very low. Even when I'm drinking, I rarely feel like drinking to excess like I used to.
My major remaining vice is video games, but it's very hard for me to objectively evaluate how much time spent on games is too much because I lose track of the time so easily. I'm currently programming a modular scheduling app to help me better control my free time.
Wish I had some perfect advice, but I think everyone probably requires a unique path to get their way to where they want to be. For me it's important not to beat myself up about "failures" along the way. I have mild ADD but severe ODD, so if I ever get too negative about my slacking off, it actually works against me because I enjoy defying my more responsible tendencies. I one-hundred-percent feel you on the "scared to succeed" part but I'm actually using my ODD to tell myself to go fuck myself with worrying about being successful.
America has an ancient ritual known as "Shipping and Handling" or "S&H" for short. It once held some meaning, but in the digital age few remember its historical roots. Still, some companies request an S&H tithe as a show of fealty. A similar but now defunct ritual was the "COD". In modern times, none remember whether this was an acronym or perhaps some reference to ancient phishing schemes.
I've always heard that the actual ticket price is virtually meaningless. Theaters make their money off concession sales. The markup on movie popcorn is possibly the highest markup on the planet. And I assume that if you receive a ticket (even if it's free to you), the theaters are still paying the same amount as if you bought a full-price ticket to whoever receives that money, so it's not really a pyramid scheme at all? Everyone is still making about the same amount of money.
If I say something to you and I use extremely poor grammar and vocabulary, you're likely to attempt to confirm you understood what I said by repeating it back to me as you understood it.
And that's all programming is: Converting things into a language you understand well enough to teach a computer what to do.
