Wow you sound like an angry child when you get proven wrong. When presented with evidence, you gave the typical leftist cult “NAZI! FACIST! PEDO!” answer, just as I thought.

I wish we could put Trump in for a third term, just to watch more leftist rage.

Republicans are merely trying to get back the vote they’ve lost to decades of gerrymandering:

MA: 36% Republican, 0 seats CT: 42% Republican, 0 seats ME: 46% Republican, 0 seats NM: 46% Republican, 0 seats NH: 48% Republican, 0 seats RI: 42% Republican, 0 seats VT: 32% Republican, 0 seats HI: 38% Republican, 0 seats DE: 42% Republican, 0 seats

A state with 48% Republican has no republican representation in the house? Can’t wait to hear your leftist nonsense circumlocution around this one lolol

So the left never does this? This isn’t Reddit - go back there if you want to be a hypocrite.

I answered a number of questions on there. Some non-native English speaker started going my answers and making language editing suggestions. The grammar was fine. I refused all the changes because they were at best basically the same or at worst incorrect. I refused maybe 4-5. The next day the guy got on and had done a bunch more then went to some of my answers and made hostile comments about my answers on simple things like Pandas for Python.

That was that for that site.

Are you implying that only the right does this?

I somehow graduated from the upper class QM and Thermodynamics courses with A or A-. I think the average grade on exams was between 30-40 out of 100. I saw our TA at the bar and he gave me the most reassurance I’ve ever had - he said almost no one taking the intro courses really understands it the first time through, and neither did he.

It was also weird to know that then as it still is today, the only wave function that can be solved is single atom hydrogen.

I tend to do all my own uv stuff but let AI handle ty for me. I don’t have many issues that way.

Nothing weird about it - extremely logical and it’s the gateway to so many great self hosted apps.

When it comes to the author calling Docker weird, after looking at some of their other postings, something about glass houses comes to mind.

In big corps, there are endless projects that claim to deliver more than the “weighted average cost of capital” which is basically what we can do with our parked cash in the market (why invest in a low return project if you can make more money in the market?).

Even then we have lots of projects that claim to deliver incremental net profit. Why not just do them all?

The obvious answer is limited resources and risk. Those numbers are never real, and there are lots of costs you don’t think of.

Less obviously is gross margin %. If you begin to dilute your high margins just to make extra cash, your % dilutes and this is a bad thing. Your money should be working toward the most profitable thing per dollar invested.

Also, focus. If OpenAI has to focus on two rabbits, they won’t catch either (or 100 rabbits in this case). They have 1 thing they should be focused on, and all bets should lead to that road.

One exception is that you also need to invest in projects that aren’t profitable, like safety and regulation, etc. But I could still build a business case of how much profit we’d lose if a bunch of consumers got sick or hurt off x if I want to complete the exercise.

This comment will get buried but you are right. Same biases and everything.
