They have enough skill to be dangerous, not enough skill to work on actual products.

You missed the point. Here’s the same point without the sarcasm:

You need to prove your hypothesis before finding a solution.

Why?

Let’s say my goal is to guide objects into a hole.

I choose a red ball. I drop it into the system. It does not make it into the hole.

I pick up an identical red ball and drop it into the system again. It also does not make it into the hole. We have an issue: objects are not making it into the hole.

What hypotheses can we make?

  1. Red objects are not making it into the hole.

  2. Round objects are not making it into the hole.

  3. No objects are making it into the hole.

The next step isn’t to pick one and fix the perceived issue. All of these hypotheses are supported by the evidence thus observed. If you spend time and effort building a red item detector that guides things onto the ramp but the issue isn’t that it’s red, you haven’t fixed the root cause. You need to find out if your hypothesis is right or wrong.

Drop a red cube into the system. Drop a green ball into the system. Drop a bigger item into the system. Drop a smaller item into the system. Drop many different balls at the same time into the system.

Improve your hypothesis. If red cube makes it into the system, hypotheses 1 and 3 are wrong… etc etc

Correlation does not imply causation. Fix the cause not the symptom.

Who’s the ghost writer this time? Pladimir Vutin?

I’m not sure that’s what you’re looking for. It looks like you are looking for perceived issues (ie. Widespread obesity), picking a hypothesis (ie. Too much sugar in food), trying to solve your hypothesis, but never proving the hypothesis (ie. Is too much sugar the issue or is it a symptom of another issue (high fructose corn syrup? Sugar cane?) and to see if there are root causes that can be systematically fixed

Your approach seems to qualify for a job in DOGE. Perceived issue? Too much governmental spending. Hypothesis? Fraud. Fix? Fire a bunch of people and cancel a bunch of obligations. Evidence? None. Time spent really analyzing the situation? Zero.

From what I’ve heard from my coworker do actually flew:

Step 1: Attempt radio contact on local frequencies and guard.

Step 2: Try to lead you out of restricted air space

Step 3: Try to REALLY get your attention like doing precision fly so that you are unmistakably aware of them (like a really really close fly by). If this works, try step 2 again

Step 4: Really depends on where you are and/or who you are. If you are willfully violating air space and a civilian, you’ll probably get your certificate revoked and/or face. If you get near something really sensitive and probably are doing so purposefully despite attempts to get your attention, and you’re not over a densely populated area, you could get shot down.

I give exactly zero fucks that she’s a woman. I don’t think a woman in charge would be in our best interest. I don’t think a man in charge would be in our best interest.

We need a leader who has the actual ability to evaluate the system, figure out what’s broken with EVIDENCE, and can articulate it.

Clinton was old guard. Harris was more or less trying to be a continuance of the same damn thing. I’d like AOC to at least be on the primary ballot.

[–] hddsx 59 points 1 day ago (62 children)

No. Run AOC

….. fine I’ll go look up the 70s show to see if I can identify who this is.

Does Lemmy.ca/fedecan.ca also own pixedlfed.ca?

If so, can someone answer if it's possible to have a private account that does NOT federate your data?

Hi,

American looking to move my domains to somewhere more stable. I found some alternatives on Google, but I worry they are basically GoDaddy.

Any suggestions for domain registrars?

 

I last played FIFA 20111 or 2013. Moving on to FC25, I feel like the offside rules has significantly changed (or they added the video monitoring thing into the game)

Can someone help me clarify offsides rules? I was under the impression that offsides is when the ball is in front of the second to last defender, at the point of contact with the ball, no legal playable part of the body may be past the second to last defender.

However, I swear in FC25, I’ve gotten an offsides after the keeper touches it but doesn’t hold on to it, and I pass to someone else past the second defender.

That, and I swear I’ve gotten an offsides for having a hand or part of an arm past the last defender.

 

Is there a friendly alternative to VMWare/Virtualbox? I would move back to Virtualbox, but it's now owned by oracle

 

I am not affiliated, just like music from both sides

I like cars but… (self.fuckcars)
submitted 1 year ago by hddsx to c/fuckcars
 

I can’t help but think that cars (EV included) just aren’t the answer. I feel like bikes aren’t the answer either. I feel like the metro and high speed rail are.

Most people don’t drive because they like driving (US), most people drive because they have to. And that sucks. You shouldn’t feel like you’re forced to drive. Because that’s auto insurance and auto registration that you have to pay.

You can’t eliminate roads altogether. You need at least one or two lanes for fire trucks, ambulances, garbage trucks, etc. but you can create pockets of no car zones.

People like me who like cars, should be able to have places we store our cars. We should have places where we can explore the limits of our cars instead of driving through traffic. But that should be a strictly extracurricular activity.

In the no car pockets, you should be able to walk to a grocery store, hardware store, that has what you need. You should be able to have mixed zoning. Single family units shouldn’t be the norm. If I own a car but it’s not my dedicated form of transportation, I can buy a cooler car and I don’t need a garage next to where I live to store it. I can store it outside no car pockets so that I can take public transport to my car and then take my car to the track.

Yes, it’ll take awhile to get there but why aren’t we doing more to that end? Am I too idealistic?

 

…. I have no interest in yiffit.net

 

I’ve seen:

  • .ml
  • .social
  • .world
  • .cuz

Is it due to cheaper registration and/or renewal fees? Or are there simply more availability on those TLDs?

 

I have accidentally upvoted two things that I did not intend. I don’t intend to ever swipe to upvote - but I would like to swipe to go back. Is there anyway to make the swipe to upvote a choice?
