PE has literally nothing to do with what Enron did which was accounting fraud + cashflow problems because they actually didnt make any money, in fact they lost tons of money and used future earnings in current reporting

How can it be that groups pay for it long term when many of the successful apex predators exhibit interspecies murder and territorialism.

Your argument is even worse lol. Obviously he's proposing that you can take your doctors note to the pharmacy and get what the doctor prescribed in addition to being allowed to self purchase behind the counter drugs.

When writing banal code, you can just ask it to write unit tests for certain conditions and it'll do a pretty good job. The cutting edge tools will correctly automatically run and iterate on the unit tests when they dont pass. You can even ask the agent to setup TDD.

You are either using it wrong or you are writing extremely niche code that has bad llm coverage

I can't tell if this thread is filled with bookie shills or (buy a mcNuke level)die hard libertarians or people who live under a rock and don't realize how pervasive sports gambling is.

Dont be dense, we are talking about "very few" in the context of draft kings which prints more money in 1 week than black market gambling has in years. The turnover in legal sports gambling in america is over 100b a year, this is larger than the gdp of most countries.

My takeaway from the episode was that its actually really easy to setup up visa, you just need to get the banks, vendors, and card issuers onboard, which should be easy if you're the government

Theyre higher value than actual seniors because they have more domain knowledge, more neuroplastic, probably willing to work harder, etc

The real problem with hiring juniors is that tech does not have flexible pay. Realistically, hiring juniors is high risk high reward so they should naturally be on some kind of probational pay.
