Let me check:
And no, they weren't fishermen, lol. If a guy jumps out of an alley with a knife do you assume he must be a surgeon?
Sounds like another leftist death threat.
You guys just can't resist.
Most of these things are long-known and well-understood principles.
The problem is the McMBA's being churned out by US(mostly) business schools aren't being taught to
Things like persistence, durability, consistency, reputation - do they matter?
I was told by a near-retirement mid-level manager at Pillsbury in the early 1990s that the MBAs swarming into corporate America simply saw reputation as a piggy-bank they could squeeze. Do you have a great name (cf Pillsbury) that consumers trust because of a century of careful production, high quality, and the best possible inputs?
Let someone who's got shitty factories rent that name and logo!
The more consumers trust it, the LONGER you could go by farming out your production from US (expensive) factories to shitty Asian and Mexican factories, and still have the sales based on that century-old reputation no matter how bad your product.
(profit)
I mean eventually consumers would figure it out that your product was awful now no matter how trusted your brand, but in the meanwhile think of the $$.
... Until they can figure out how to wring union dues from AI systems, anyway.
Every company should lock those precious and above all, widely demanded AI resources behind stringent pay walls. Why should the plebs get a browser that anticipates what they want, offers suggestions, and will summarize web content for you? They don't deserve such services for free.
Whatever happens, I certainly hope as a non paying user I'm not left with a lightweight, simple browser that integrated none of those functions, hell, it would probably do nothing more than render web pages cleanly.
That would be terrible.
Are we going to likewise celebrate other cult founders like Jim Jones, or L Ron Hubbard?
I'll credit Jobs with being good at marketing, but I'd genuinely like to know if he did anything for the computer industry substantively. Would we have had GUI desktops without Apple? I think so, Parc was working on that stuff long before Jobs ever said "what if we made computer stuff in white?"
Until they told him to stop, and then he took a nice little payout to stfu so her highness could finally get the presidency she deserved.
"women file for divorce in the vast majority of cases"
Including lesbian relationships. Gay marriage in the US is well-established, enough that we should be able to draw meaningful conclusions from the statistics.
âoein 2019, 56% of same-sex marriages were between women. However, the divorce rate for lesbians was much higher, with 72% of same-sex divorces in 2019 coming from lesbian couples, about 3 times higher than gay male couples. The lesbian divorce rate was 78% in 2016, 74% in 2017 and 75% in 2018.â
The current divorce rate for heterosexual couples is 43% (for 1st marriages).
It's not the men that are the problem.
It's ironic that "he's stupid" is an accusation from the political side full of women so full of TDS that they film themselves taking Tylenol while pregnant, despite it being the effort of moments to find ample studies by actual medical authorities (like Johns Hopkins) identifying a roughly 3x incidence of autism in children exposed to it through the placental barrier.
Yes, please again lecture the world.
In other words: "stop criticizing my side" basically.
Look, it's fine for you to take a side. I expect you have legitimate reasons.
Otoh, it's entirely disingenuous to deny that in the US half the people are on the other side, and not just explain it away claiming they're fascists/stupid/tricked. They too may have legitimate reasons for their choice.
Until you can concede the other side are people like you, we just all shout at each other for nothing.
Strawman: Nobody says there is one cause.
And Trump is right about autism and pregnant women.
The slashdot commissars are active today, I see.
Don't you guys have reddits to moderate?
Gee Santa, why don't people trust journalists any more?
NYT Editor, in an interview on NPR in June 2016: "We have to set aside journalistic objectivity sometimes [the context was about Trump's run for office and how to defeat him]"
No, you really don't.
You're a reporter. You can report the news without interpreting; if it's honestly reported and awful, trust your readers to understand it and draw their conclusions. Your CURRENCY as a reporter is your holding yourself separate from the news you're reporting.
When the national paper of record goes ON RECORD to say that they are picking sides in a political contest, they have forfeited their claim on credibility. They have stated openly that political bias > honesty.
Based on what?
Seriously - you're assigning it to him because
a) you hate him, and
b) you are mad about this,
Do you not see how completely delusional this is?
