The text is only fucked the the way that The Onion sticks are fucked: this is only labeled satire because of the tone of the article. The content is as true as “real” news.
The actual “fucked” content is that the author was correct, and that the wealthy benefit from hunger and the threat of starvation to maintain access to abundant cheap labour.
To add to what the other poster said:
I’m not an expert, but my understanding is that noise cancellation works by inverting sounds waves to deaden the sound. So, like, if you add sin(x) and –sin(x) you get 0.
This system is actively adding inverted sound waves to cancel most sounds. What makes this system unique is that it samples the voice and uses the unique “voice print” to selectively not invert the sound waves from the targeted voice.
Or that’s what I’m getting from reading this, as a layman.
It’s missing filling the start bat with a massive Copilot box and weather/news widget. Or maybe missed an opportunity to make Clippy the AI assistant.
I love-hate it.
But then you need to know enough about the topic already to know what is stable and what changes with newer versions.
Like, the “web dev boot camp” course I got from UDemy a few years ago as a guide for building a web dev high school course: I recently went back to to look something up, and the whole thing has been completely redone start to finish. Makes sense, considering that it’s updated to the newest versions of Bootstrap and other libraries (and who knows what else).
I know nothing about Rust, but I would assume there are at least some libraries that have major new versions in the last couple of years which might change best practices somehow? idk. But the harder part is not knowing what you don’t know.
I think you nailed the confusion in this meme.
To simplify: it’s confusing that ½ = 0.5, but 1/2 ≠ 1/0.5
Yeah, this is where I’m at. O365, Teams, OneDrive, Azure, evening.
Except that my “personal” device is my work device. (I get a stipend to maintain my own tech.)
My Steam Deck runs Linux, at least?
I read it “THERE’S PLANET NOB”. Like, a dick planet.
I think it’s fair to add more levels. It’s fair that someone earning $400K should be paying less marginal tax than someone earning $10MM. The first person is still likely spending a significant portion of their income each year on living expenses, while the second person is earning more than can be reasonably spent, so it’s just “NumBeRs gO Up!” at that point.
idk, something like 60% tax above 400K, 70% tax above 1MM, 80% tax above $3MM, 85% tax above $10MM.
What are the downsides?
That might make Canadian sports teams fail since nobody will want to take the income hit to work here? Even then, they could just restructure their compensation to be paid over a lifetime, so they get $3MM/yr for 50 years instead of $12MM/yr for 10 years (or whatever).
Exactly my point.
The “official” reasons for this don’t make sense. So that only leaves deliberate genocide as the reason.
Totally fair, but it’s also true that Israel has gained nothing of significance and lost a lot from this war, not getting any of the objectives they set forth.
Unless the actual goal is genocide, in which case they are continuing to “succeed” every day.
Whoever is the subject of the verb “did”. Whoever did something.
Whomever is an object, so whoever did something to whomever.
In other words, “whoever” does things; “whomever” has things done to them.
Nice, thanks! 2019 should be good enough; the guides I was looking at were suggesting much older versions for WINE compatibility.
I just need to look into OneDrive, now.
I wonder if there’s a debloated version of Windows 11 that removes the TPM requirement…
Regardless, I’m this | | close to switching to Linux; I just need to make sure I can get OneDrive and full MS Office running in Linux reliably, since I need both for work. The Steam Deck has convinced me that I don’t need Windows anymore for gaming, so it’s only work holding me back. (Work pays me a stipend to maintain my own work computer hardware, so I do work on “my” machine.)
Edit: Looks like it’s actually pretty easy to do.
My jaw literally dropped reading that.
I think it’s time to go outside.
Grading in red is generally avoided, nowadays. Red is closely associated with failure/danger/bad, and feedback should generally be constructive to help students learn and grow.
I usually like to grade in a bright colour that students are unlikely to pick: purple, green, pink, orange, or maybe light blue (if most students are working in pencil). Brown is poo. Black and dark blue are too common. Yellow is illegible. Red is aggressive.
Anyway, I’m guessing they just graded everything in green. The only time I’ve ever graded in more than one colour was when I needed to subgrade different categories of grades, like thinking/communication/knowledge/application. In that case, choosing a consistent colour for each category makes it easier to score.
Huge caveat: they only surveyed unmarried 18-49 year olds. Three huge problems are obvious:
So, no. The headline is inaccurate. If we only survey single 18-49 y.o.s then of course we’ll get higher numbers of people who want to remain unmarried.
Still an interesting result, but very different from the clickbait headline.
Alt text:
Changing the names would be easier, but if you’re not comfortable lying, try only making friends with people named Alice, Bob, Carol, etc.
XKCD isn’t complete without the alt text.
I feel attacked.
j/k. I’m happy in the education sector. The code I write won’t be seen by anybody but me.
Not parent poster, but I downloaded it and sent it to my wife, lol. We both thought it was depressingly true; funny in a dark comedy way.
So, I enjoyed it. Not sure if that makes it a “good meme” or not, particularly as the image doesn’t really add anything. Maybe the GOP or Fox News logo would be better? idk
It’s satire. The author is pointing out how morally reprehensible it is, using irony.
