Nah, assuming that the question is really asking whether a chicken’s egg came first or a chicken, then it stands to reason that a chicken came first, from a dinosaur’s egg, and then a chicken’s egg.

I'm really curious to know what type of bank errors you are talking about. If they are true errors then they should not be biased either way. i.e. sometimes they would be biased on your favor. But if they are always biased in their favor then maybe they are not really errors?

Or flying a kite during a storm and joking about getting hit by lighting. That definitely would have won us the Darwin award that year.

I know how stink bugs smell and I know how cilantro smells. Never once did I think that they smelled like each other. Could it be a difference in stink bugs? Also, never has it ever tasted like soap to me.

We all are, but only in meat-space. We continue to improve ourselves much faster than evolution ever could.

But what we are talking about here is the singularity in tech-space.

>>What'd be amazing would be something that really works >>against the headaches and/or prevent vomiting.

If you start vomiting then you overdid it. Your body is trying to save you from poisoning. To prevent the headaches just drink lots of water.

>>that don't require more people.

More people does not necessarily mean more laborers. It also means more consumers. Without more consumers we humans would not be incentivized to mine so much. Without the need to mine so much engineers would not have invented more efficient ways to mine. So on and so forth...

>>Game Designing and Game Development are two very different things

Right on. Took me a while to realize this. Game Design is the blue printing process of a game. Game Development is the actual building of the game. And Game Design is way harder than what I expected.

There does seem to be a lot of hate for eclipse. The complaint I always hear is that it is a pain to use. Personally I’ve always liked it, even though I’ve used the other popular IDEs.

Makes sense. Youtube kept blocking me because it detected ad blocking mechanisms. Being stubborn I would simply reload the page and clicked the x button before it had a chance to load up the blocking code and then the video would play fine.

After a while youtube gave up and no longer tries to force me to uninstall the ad blocking mechanisms.

That or the ad blocking mechanisms got better.

Thank You! This is really good advice. Just wish I had the time to really get into it.

I really don't think this is tricky at all. If Musk is serious about the fight then I'm sure that for the right price they can find other couriers to meet their needs. Even if they had to pay an order of magnitude more money. It would only be for the short term.
