Comment Re: Cloud computing is one the dumbest ideas ever. (Score 1) 71

The alternative is developing a progressive web application (PWA) that runs in Safari instead of a native iOS application.

Considering that Grab has building iOS apps for over 12 years instead of developing PWAs, I would guess they know more about their business than you. Have you presented your ideas to Grab?

Comment Re:What happens to other MD11 pilots? (Score 1) 39

1) Commercial pilots have to be certified to fly models of aircraft. No rules say pilots can only certify on one type of aircraft for their entire career. Some pilots certify on multiple ones. 2) UPS and FedEx fly more than the MD-11 as mentioned in the summary that it was a small part of their fleet.

To be accurate, he said "we" are going to win so much, while leaving "we" ambiguous.

The missing definition of "we" is "we billionaires" but was purposefully left ambiguous so that ignorant salt-of-the-earth types would think they're included too when they never were.

"We" are now finding that out the hard way. Well, some of "we" - about 75 million people figured it out previous to the election last year, but not everyone learns at the same pace.

Awesome analysis. /s

Now take a crack at this one:
IF the government receives all the same paperwork that I do for filling out that 1040 form and dropping it in the mail;

AND they use that exact same paperwork for checking my math for any of hundreds of tiny mistakes that can be made;

AND they are always thought to be right, with the burden of proof otherwise being on me

WHY does each and every one of us need to bother with this bullshit instead of receiving a 1040 that we can review and open a request if we think it's wrong?

This process is so fucking backwards it's not even funny.

You never had any brothers or cousins doing double suplexes to each other after watching WWF? Your anecdotal evidence is discounted by mine. And since mine is real I think I have a case.

1. Wresting was on TV long before video games. 2. Brothers and cousins were hitting each other slingshots and rocks long before TV was invented. 3. Your anecdotal evidence does not "discount" everyone else. It only reflects your ego that you think that it does.

If he was homeschooling, it would be his kids at home and there wouldn't be traffic concerns.

There are other people's kids being educated there too, which means he's operating an unlicensed education facility.

But it's OK because he's a tech bro billionaire so we already know there won't be consequences.

If it's a larger house, there isn't any comparison worth making. In real estate, you compare to more-or-less EQUAL square footage and lot size to comparable properties in the neighborhood when coming up with a valuation.

The only valuation impact a much larger home has to adjacent properties is dealing with the wank that lives in the disproportionately sized home to the rest of the neighborhood, because you are practically assured they will be a wank.
