If he sued for that then there would be a discovery phase. He wants to avoid that at all costs.

Operating costs plus a certain percentage as savings.

You seem to be trying really hard to invalidate the point with whataboutisms as if a single gotcha will invalidate the entire argument.

1. No because you made it yourself.
2. If a product is so wildly successful that your company makes massive profits, then the employees that made that product are entitled to that success as well. Why do executives, who usually don’t have a hand in actually making the product, get so much more than the people who made it? Pay exists because there is no guarantee of profit on a product. Nobody will work for the promise of getting paid someday when promises don’t put food on the table. Yes, a company should pocket a certain percentage to fund future projects and as a safety net, but everything left over needs to be divvied up across the entire company, not just the c-suite.
3. Reducing the price to stop making profit is fine since more people can afford to use the product. Assuming you hit a user cap, the price savings allow customers to spend that money elsewhere thereby increasing purchasing power. If you are selling to other companies, the other company now spends less meaning an increase in profit. This goes back to your customer’s company spreading the savings back to its own employees.

Just a friendly reminder that resisting arrest is not a reason to arrest somebody. That charge comes second, not first, and if that is the first charge then the police deserve any and all harm that befall them.

Citizens should legally be able to defend themselves with violence if they are being arrested or assaulted for resisting arrest.

No idea. I’ve been to who knows how many specialists and nobody is going beyond the basic checklist and giving up afterwards.

I’m living through number one right now. The confusion isn’t the bad part. The bad part is being fully conscious of your confusion, almost like you are in a body floating over your own watching you do and think stupid shit you know you would never do. It is legitimately horrifying watching myself slip further and further by the day and nobody seems to think there is a problem.

Video streaming bitrates is the one that most affects my day to day. You could stream 1080p for free back in the day. I also believe the ability to post server emotes in other servers is also something that was locked behind the introduction of Nitro, but I can’t confirm since at that time I was only in a single channel.

With this said, Discord needs to make money somehow, but crippling your own platform isn’t the way.

Added undismissible gamification features nobody asked for, hiding more and more features behind boosts, and constant breaking of their mobile app.

American interests? Fucker, you aren’t taking care of the American people at all.

You’d be surprised. DevOps are, at least by my experience, SEVERELY overworked and understaffed. Even such things as writing a script is not always so easy, especially when security credentials are involved. Depending on the company there may be many layers of red tape for using security credentials stored in a secrets vault, so sometimes such things aren’t even possible since there is no official work request for that automation.

Political stuff aside, 2026 has been really rough personally as well. I’m already done with this year.

This is a surprisingly common issue. I’ve had it happen at least once in every job I’ve worked. This is usually the responsibility of the devops or devsec teams, and they are usually heavily underfunded since they are cost centers that do not bring in profit.

This is one of the reasons COBOL programmers get paid extremely well. Nobody is learning it anymore and these people are critical if an issue occurs.

It’s not 1/3 of a banana. It is a batch of bananas that are slightly brown. It is 4 unsold donuts at closing. It is unsold merchandise they throw away to make room for new product.

It has NOTHING to do with logistics. The food is already at the store. The only difference is the store manager being forced to say YES at the end of the day when a hungry employee asks to take the unsold food that would otherwise go into the dumpster home.

The thing you are missing is that not all the food is spoiled. Restaurants and supermarkets do not allow employees to take home food that is going to the dumpster, even if it is still good to eat for that night. Perfectly edible food is being thrown away since giving it to employees would “cause employees to make unsellable food so they can take it home at the end of the day”. It is all greedy mental gymnastics by corporate assholes who want to line their pockets by making food a scarcity.

Discarded does NOT by definition mean nobody wants it. It means that somebody threw something away. There could be plenty of people who wanted or needed it but were prevented from obtaining it due to greed or regulation.

Most supermarkets in my area, not just Costco, have one.

Puerto Rico does it right. In order to claim primary residence there you have to physically be there for something like 180 days of the year without any travel. States need to do that too.

“Blame the author, not the language”

Says the person who screams they have never worked professionally with a team before.

There is no excuse to not use statically typed, safe languages nowadays. There are languages that let you build faster like Python and Typescript, but faster does not mean safer. Even if your code is flawless it still isn’t safe because all it takes is a single flawed line of code. The more bug vectors you remove the better the language is.

Which should be punishable by no less than 10 years regardless of role in government. If the president orders it to happen, both the president and the sound technician both go to jail for no less than 10 years without parole, and they both lose their jobs.

This is not acceptable behavior for either party in government.

“I will do anything anybody tells me to as long as I don’t hate them.”

Yes, EXACTLY who you want leading a country.
