Uh… fingers are not a good type of infrastructure.

No, I think you are confusing the two kinds of trusts: a revocable trust means you still own the money or property, an irrevocable trust means you don’t own it anymore. Either you “give it away” in an irrevocable trust (which can’t be “dissolved”), or you don’t give it away (in a revocable trust).

You are describing putting something in a revocable trust, which is not spending it or giving it away. It’s closer to just putting a label on it: “this money is for charity”. You don’t get a tax deduction unless you put the money in a irrevocable charitable trust or the charity actually receives the money (from any source, trust, whatever).

That’s giving the money away. Either you are still controlling the trusts, or you gave the money to the trusts.

This may shock and amaze you but…

there is more than one user for your product. If you don’t know that, it sounds like you either haven’t done a user survey or you haven’t created the correct user profiles (based on that survey).

Creating a “perfect UI” without asking users what they want is not good UX. It’s just masturbation. The user survey tells you that people want A B C, etc. and in which order. You should know exactly how your changes are going to be received when you release them.

Imagine a restaurant that doesn’t ask you what you want. Instead the chef tells you “This is the best food possible” and just makes what they want. That’s what developing without a user survey is like.

I assume you eat dry cereal without milk too, like an serial killer.

It’s cheap to treat TB. You are ignoring the fact that the medical systems in many of these countries do not pay enough doctors or buy enough medicine for their citizens. People die of malnutrition too. That’s prevented by eating.

You flew by yourself, without taking care of a child, and you’re surprised it’s easier? Everything is easier without a kid. Your parents flew all over the place before you arrived. Planes weren’t invented when you were born.

Clever Hans (German: der Kluge Hans; c. 1895 – c. 1916) was a horse that was claimed to have performed arithmetic and other intellectual tasks. After a formal investigation in 1907, psychologist Oskar Pfungst demonstrated that the horse was not actually performing these mental tasks, but was watching the reactions of his trainer. He discovered this artifact in the research methodology, wherein the horse was responding directly to involuntary cues in the body language of the human trainer, who was entirely unaware that he was providing such cues.

The quality changes. Their jeans in the past 10 years are just the same as others, but higher prices. They are not special anymore.

They said AI would take you places. They never said they were places you wanted to go.

They are. And they’re comparing glorious revolutionary China to the dastardly imperialist pig dogs in the US.

Tankies are a confused bunch.

This rage bait is so old the Simpsons parodied it:

“Today’s topic…”

It isn’t particularly hard to call this out. Just say “I haven’t done anything since Friday.” And leave it at that.

Be comfortable with silence.

PMs act that way because people above them ask for updates regularly. Bad PMs don’t know how to push back. If you need things done faster, the answer is usually “we need more resources”.

I found an interesting article that went into detail on what specifically happened. Your tone indicates that you aren’t going to accept information that contradicts you preconceived ideas. This is for others who may be reading these comments.

“U.S. intelligence estimates that half of the weapons fired by Iran failed upon launch or in flight due to technical issues,” a U.S. Air Force senior officer told The Intercept.

But the test showed them to be a failure? Half the missiles failed on launch and the drones are easily shot down because they’re so slow.

So they got really good data that says their weapons exports kinda suck. If you want to call that a success, go ahead.

Interesting article but this was not a strategic victory for Iran or Israel. Israel had some economic and diplomatic consequences and Iran’s drones are exposed as vulnerable to modern air defenses. Half of their drones and missiles crashed on takeoff. Fewer countries are going to want to buy them after seeing that.

The US, UK, France, and Jordan are the winners because they got a free test taking down a bunch of hostile drones in a real world scenario. They didn’t waste any money that wouldn’t have been spent shooting practice targets anyway.
