That's why you need government to fix the failures markets can create. For example car emission control systems. They aren't what the market would create left to its own devices.

In San Francisco, the problem has gotten so bad that I know people with cars that have been broken into six or more times in one year. Itâ(TM)s very bad here. People do leave their doors unlocked and windows down here. Not everyone. But more than you would think. Laptops are one of the main targets. Anyhow, before Apple activation locked iPhones, we had theft rings and muggings over iPhones. I have witnessed at least three. I know a guy that was mugged at gun point. Locking the parts made them even less valuable for stripping. There are not lucrative items for theft any longer.

The system works as it is. Stop trying to extract money from work built upon contributions.

Itâ(TM)s great nobody had done anything about this for decades. Suddenly Facebook is the problem.

Itâ(TM)s also the frameworks and libraries that provide layers of inefficiency. If Rust had a larger ecosystem, youâ(TM)d see fat packages combining together to make a Rust on Rails⦠complete with an over engineered logging system to write lines of text. IMO, Rust apps are still lean because there arenâ(TM)t libraries for every trivial task and the libraries that still exist arenâ(TM)t for novice work. Some of the slowest code Iâ(TM)ve worked with was written in C++. They wrote it like somebody writes PHP. Oh, and they rewrote the STL to make it safer, by throwing mutexes behind every collection operation. Developers can still write bubble sort in Rust.

Office updates for the past couple of decades have mostly been UI changes. I think the last killer feature in Word was the removal of clippy.

If you donâ(TM)t like the pay, close the app. Quitting is not necessary because it is not employment. Just close the app. You do not need to let anyone know if you will not be showing up the next day, because there is not an office. If you change your mind or are bored, open the app again! If you feel like working for a competitor, go ahead, even at the same time. There are almost no obligations put upon you between rides. If an app on your phone hires you, itâ(TM)s probably not a real job.

Umm. This wasnâ(TM)t what I commented on.

Why is this a surprise???

As a manager, the difference between a resignation letter and an ultimatum letter is the difference between a grenade whose pin was pulled 10 seconds before it's show to you, and a grenade whose pin is pulled in front of you.

The employee is gone, either way. Neither side will trust each other again. It's over.

If you're going to quit, just quit.

It's good to have a domestic manufacturing capacity. We do have manufacturing capacity of vents in the US. We didn't have enough to meet the sudden, and completely predictable, demand.

It's more cost effective to stockpile things that you know you're going to need than to expect to retool for mass production things that you'll need to just ship out to a crisis area.

The right answer for this problem was to have the needed equipment stockpiled, in this case, PPE and vents. And in the vents case, properly maintained.

But in general I agree we need more domestic manufacturing capacity for national security reasons.

Adults who are quitting do not necessarily WANT their vape substitute to taste like the thing they are giving up. This will actually result in more deaths. No exaggeration.

This reminds me of a dead fad from the 80â(TM)s where people would put leather âoebrasâ on the front of their cars... to protect against road debris and âoeimproveâ the look of their Toyota Tercel.

You left out Bournelli, Syquest, and magneto optical. My Apex had 4.6 GB before the Zip disk or DVD.

How can these large media companies consistently fuck up their only damn job? If Iâ(TM)m paying money to stream video, then I expect it to work better than a place that funds itself by letting users know that hot local MILFs want to meet them.
