Now the politicians want tips?!

In a similar vein, Heinz once used a temporary domain for a promotion accessible by scanning a QR code on their bottles. The promotion ran its course, and they let the domain name expire.
Problem is these bottles were available on restaurant tables for much longer. Didn’t take long before scanning the Heinz QR code at your table got you some pornography.
I think I know what you’re getting at. This lady has been radicalized against Palestinians specifically - likely because of the war coverage she’s getting on NewsMax and Fox recently. Blacks and Hispanics are also communities though. The timing is relevant, but hating a whole community of people because of the acts of a few is still what’s happening here.
He’s marking them off as he goes.
So the kids need a gun AND dust?
Y’all shut the fuck up and just vote for Biden damn it.
He’s not Trump. Do your civic duty and keep the wannabe fascist dictator out of office. He’s not Trump. That’s all that matters.
Fake reason: Reduce Chinese influence in the Philippines
Real reason: Ensure U.S. pharmaceutical companies get their payday
Shatner definitely has them all
The incident allegedly occurred after the coach – who also served as a hall monitor – ordered Michael to do pushups because he was horsing around in the hallway, but the teen declined because he had hurt his hand
Cop mentality. Escalate until someone’s unconscious.
I don’t know man. Nothing in the Agile Manifesto talks about not focusing on one project.
In addition, I think most people (and studies) would agree that “focus” is key to building almost anything of quality. Not flittering about working on shiny pennies of the day. I mean, a key tenant of sprints is “Don’t interrupt the sprint”. The whole concept is about letting developers focus.
Agree to disagree I guess.
I don’t disagree with you (on giving devs some creative freedom), but “Agile” as a process methodology isn’t about developers working on multiple things to keep their interests up.
That glitch that discounts stock prices by a percentage?! What? Does that block of the code normally only discount a stock by a percentage under different circumstances?
Looks on par with the previous movies. I predict some funny bits will make it watchable but otherwise it will be unremarkable.
I’ve frequented Cracker Barrel’s since I was very little. And it’s a family tradition to always stop at one to eat on long road trips.
It’s gone downhill, and it started happening well ahead of COVID.
Every server used to be an old southern person. They cared about their job, and proudly wore “stars” on their apron to represent their seniority. They were engaging, sweet, and often interesting to talk to. These days, I usual just see teenagers, or people who act like they are working there as a condition of their probation. I assume this reflects poor / eroded pay.
A long standing “benefit” at Cracker Barrel has been the unlimited biscuits and cornbread that come with every meal. They used to bring out a huge basket of them - enough for everyone to have 3-4 - often as soon as you sat down. So good. These days, I usually have to ask for them. They usually seem to stall and only bring them with the food. And there is usually only 1 (maybe 2) per person.
Similar to above, the portion size of just about every meal has shrunk over time.
I know people that used to work there. All the food was either cooked to order or hand prepped and cooked that morning. There was pride in making the food fresh, and not letting it get old, cold, and stale. I’m not sure what they are doing now, but it seems like the quality is way down. It more often seems old, cold, and stale. I’m guessing the cooks aren’t paid very well anymore either.
So, I think this CEO has it all wrong. My guess is she’s going to turn it into another Applebee’s that gets some attention for a while for being new and interesting. Then, in a few years, it goes out of business.
I’m no expert in this subject either, but a theoretical limit could be beyond 200x - depending on the data.
For example, a basic compression approach is to use a lookup table that allows you to map large values to smaller lookup ids. So, if the possible data only contains 2 values: One consisting of 10,000 letter 'a’s. The other is 10,000 letter 'b’s. We can map the first to number 1 and the second to number 2. With this lookup in place, a compressed value of “12211” would uncompress to 50,000 characters. A 10,000x compression ratio. Extrapolate that example out and there is no theoretical maximum to the compression ratio.
But that’s when the data set is known and small. As the complexity grows, it does seem logical that a maximum limit would be introduced.
So, it might be possible to achieve 200x compression, but only if the complexity of the data set is below some threshold I’m not smart enough to calculate.
I guess it’s crass to hand someone a bill mid-crisis, but I’m having trouble feeling too sorry for him. The costs don’t seem outrageous. And, he obviously skipped the traveler’s insurance.
They buried the lede:
Later in her speech, Lawrence joked that Pence was also in New York “receiving a [Nickelodeon] Kid’s Choice Award for weirdest dick.”
As an older developer, you could replace “machine learning” with “statistical modeling” and “artificial intelligence” with “machine learning”.
Went down the rabbit hole on this guy a bit. He went on to participate in the CyberNinjas audit of Arizona’s ballots after the 2020 election. He claimed to have technology that could detect whether ballots had been folded in the mail, and claimed to detect bamboo in “fraudulent Chinese ballots”.
He was such a kook, the other kooks rejected him.
