Last place I worked we were promised a sprint where all we would do is tech debt fixes. Guess what never happened since the top brass kept pushing new feature requests on us. Features kept taking longer and longer to implement and every release we had more and more bugs make it into production.
You can gamble on whether a stock price will rise or fall. When going to war, stock prices for war companies rise because they are expected to get a lot of business, but if that call to war is suddenly canceled, then the stock price for that company decreases.
If he made a losing bet, one of two things happened:
The value of the stock was going to drop way below the value it started at, so he would earn a large payout on that gamble.
He was funneling large amounts of money to other insider traders.
Where are the “I did that” Trump stickers?
This wording is wild. They did not say that AV1 uses patented material - they said that AV1 includes some technologies that are in HEVC. Dolby doesn’t have a case, and they know it. They are trying to use wording that twists the truth to make it sound like they are in the right.
If my PM tells me we are only doing triangles, I go out of my way to make that part extensible to accept any shape. Never EVER trust a PM when they say “we are only going to support X” because they are only thinking about the MVP.
What happened to small government?
You just assumed I’m a centrist because I expect politicians to be respectful of each other? Holy shit dude there is something wrong with your moral compass. Respecting people and disagreeing with them are not mutually exclusive.
What Obama said was not entirely true to Robert’s personality and actions, but that is beside the point.
The point is that some people have decorum and are good speakers. Some people, even if they don’t mean it, are respectful of the dead, even if they don’t deserve it.
And some manchildren have none of that. The day that man baby dies I probably won’t have any decorum either.
I would argue not to hide finances like that, especially if it is a joint account or somebody else’s money. Be transparent with them - “I am withdrawing X amount for a present for you. I hope you look forward to it.” Presents are not about the surprise but receiving something that somebody you really care about put a lot of thought into.
The main branch should always contain working code. You should assume you can deploy it to production and it will work. Not having anybody review your code is lunacy, and ignoring critical feedback is even more insane. You can ignore linting complaints assuming you don’t have a linter that fails the build, but you should not consider faulty business logic as an optional fix.
Not to undermine your point either, but there are autistic people who don’t want or can’t have neighbors. There are very real and valid reasons for single family homes to exist. They don’t even need yards - just have a foot or two buffer between walls, as long as they arent touching.
Hot take - If you can’t pay for a damn video tape rental you can’t be trusted to pay your house loan.
No flak. I was gonna post the same thing. Women deserve to feel safe too.
You can trade outside of trading hours by paying extra for the trade. When you do this, you can buy/sell only to others who have also paid extra. This means you have some extra control over who gets your shares and when. In addition, you can sell shares directly to other people anytime if you physically own them.
