So how do you figure this one individual pays enough taxes to raise the city's budget 20 fold?

The debt isn't even needed to begin with. I meet people all the time who did basically the same thing I did: Decline the student loans when offered them, go to schools with low-cost tuition. Rely on FAFSA for school expenses (it more than covers both books and tuition if your school charges reasonable rates, even giving you the surplus back as cash.)

You know what all of us have in common? None of us were wealthy going into college, but we all make pretty good money in our careers. A girl I dated, who was a recent graduate, told me that where she went only a few years ago, people were often using their student loans to buy new cars. Not used cars, new cars She, just as I, never understood why people do things like that. Not only are we making more money than those people now, but we don't have any debts either.

If you can't afford Harvard without going into debt, then don't go to Harvard, even if you're accepted there. It's really not going to do you any favors. Would-be employers couldn't care less where you went, they care only about your skillset.

It's probably also worth mentioning that universities weren't meant for vocational training, but somehow we've turned them into that, which is a big mistake.

What on earth gives you the idea that this has anything to do with Trump?

His workplace probably does key escrow, and he's complaining because it's deliberately rotated, and if he doesn't use the machine for over so many days, (or whatever their policy is) then he has to manually enter in a new key. He likely also doesn't know that this feature has to be deliberately configured in a pretty drawn out process just to even work at all.

What languages are you still using that don't have implicit typing? Java 8? C# 3? Do tell.

Which is even less than I was assuming, but ok.

Oh...wait...You're the guy who wrote the macos calculator. It all makes sense now.

There's a massive difference between the 500 line scripts you write, and projects like this. What you're doing, simply put, does not scale to this level. Period. There's a reason why, even in languages like python, tools like mypy exist.

In other words, every time you've tried to go outside of python, you find yourself running in circles. That's not a problem with other languages.

. . . if you aren't the customer, you're the product.

Or with AI I guess your data is the product, and anything you might incidentally accomplish (learning, working, playing, earning, etc.) is a waste product, to be minimized accordingly.

There's probably car analogy that could express it better.

You're that idiot who can't even get python right despite years of experience with it. The only person in the world you have any room to call inept is angelosphere. Any idiot can write a multithreaded application, but having them actually work at scale is a whole other matter. You wouldn't understand the reason for that because, as you already openly admitted to, you rely entirely on fixing bugs only after your ship has already sunk.

People who say this usually haven't tried to write simultaneously multithreaded and concurrent applications in a systems language. Shit, rust makes it easier to do that than even "easy" higher level languages that were specifically designed for it from the beginning, like go.

What I like best is that you admitted that the only difference between you and any other fascist comes down to a totally meaningless distinction. Other than that, you quack like a duck, walk like a duck, eat like a duck...

Are you on crack?

You should almost feel right at home then. The only difference between you and any other fascist is what you call yourself, which is quite superficial if you're being honest with yourself. Granted Nazis added the whole racial element on top, at least you guys will get along on economics and civil rights, even if you disagree about who gets them. You guys would talk up a storm about how limited free speech should be.

Before Tesla, and more on point, before Elon got involved in Tesla, there was zero indication of that. In fact what few electric cars there were in the oughts were either not production cars or were already discontinued (see GM EV-1.) Tesla was far from the only EV startup at the time either. Many came before and failed before, and have failed since. To this day, even the old players in the auto industry can't figure it out.

Why do you guys lose your shit and go into blatant denial every time somebody who doesn't share your fucked up ideology has any measure of success? Cognitive dissonance is a real bitch for you fascists, isn't it?

I don't even watch tv anymore, but I think that if YouTube is issuing a credit, that's fair. Many cable providers don't even carry any of the Disney/ABC/ESPN channels anymore precisely because Disney charges too fucking much, mainly because they bundle a lot of very expensive shit into a package deal where most people only watch a fraction of it and just don't get their money's worth. Probably high time the whole industry tells them to go fuck themselves.

I dropped Netflix to the bottom tier (free with my TMobile sub) after they raised their prices last time, which was about the time they started carrying spectator sports crap, which not only do I not care about, but it's also expensive even if you don't watch it. Stopped watching Netflix after that.
