There's a difference:
- In the case of a remote test, those who fail are not out the cost of travel and accommodation.
- In the case of an in-person test, those who fail are out the cost of travel and accommodation.

I think there's some nuance needed there.

Pelosi's trading is legal, it's highly problematic from an ethics perspective, but it's completely legal and somewhat common for legislators to do. So she can be criticized for using an unfair advantage, but it's not unprecedented nor a major sin.

Trump's grifts on the other hand do violate laws and precedent, those laws just aren't enforced.

For an extra $100k you get a pardon!

At least for me and many others I spoke to.

Go and use books to train AI.

Just don't fucking destroy them afterwards! Many of these are out of print, impossible to replace! How much of a douchebag do you have to be to destroy them ?

He lost me at "Power BI".

Ugh...what a POS.....it's the modern equivalent of MS Access....it gives people who can't code or design enough tool to create something they force others to use which causes time suck and damage along the way.

So what? What is the point you are attempting to make here?

To quit being a bunch of pussies....

These windows DO open, don't they?

I mean, there's always portable units you can use.

Please enough with the excuses....sit and swelter if that's what you want, but geez....get used to it, this isn't going away you know.

Fine...then sit there and swelter like it is the 1800's....I really do't give a fuck if people make excuses instead of solutions.

Slight warning....get used to it, this isn't going away you know....

You are so wrong. The country I live in now has it. It's not called the same, but it amounts to the same. Near impossible to sue the police here.

I'm pretty sure most countries have something similar on the books.

Not even denied for inability to afford last-minute travel to a city where the exam is held?

I just checked, and it's 2:17AM in Seoul. It's 86F with 85% humidity! Heat index is currently at 103F, at fucking 2AM.

That's just a middling summer day in New Orleans.

Bump that humidity up a bit and then you get closer to common average days here in summer.

Mind you, my AC turns on basically end of April and usually is on till first part of November.

Thanks,, when I think 42 degrees my immediate reaction is, "I need a jacket or sweater, especially if the wind is blowing..."

Do these structures have windows? If so, you can hang window units on them, or at the very least have floor units and vent out the window.

AC does not necessarily mean Central AC systems....geez.

The US has tons of old homes without central AC that sill have AC with portable units, or window units, etc.

This is not rocket surgery.

So, do the Koreans believe in Air Conditioning, apparently unlike their European friends?

I'm fairly sure at least one entire department at MS is tasked with making sure people don't switch to other formats, that despite on-paper "open" XML it remains incompatible and no competitor software can flawlessly read and write it.

So no, unless you can hire a dozen people full-time to counter that, you don't have a chance to break through that.
