He got promoted because he was replaceable. This is an art-form to cultivate if you want to be promoted yet be good at your job.

When you consider that the theory of the Big Bang is incorrect, then other concepts like movement of galaxies throughout the universe take on a different perspective.

Being serious here: read The Dictator's Handbook. It explains inter-personal relationships in such a deep way to help you navigate the waters of your growing economy. It's not all doom and gloom as you think. Everyone is human and everyone has goals.

All tech jobs produce stress. People in IT were found to produce more stress chemicals in their blood than a surgeon (study done 10+ years ago during the dotcom boom).

Recommend avoiding IT if you cannot handle stress - or go and learn how to handle stress - preferably by joining the military and getting your brain rewired to function successfully under stressful situations.

Snapchat's security is so lax, everyone has a copy of their software now.

hmailserver is what you want. Sadly, it's Windows only, but you can easily spin up a windows vm under VirtualBox.

Adding to this comment -

    data = data if data is not None else []

(is)

    data = data if data else []

(is)

    data = data or []

which means you either did:

    data = []

(or)

    data = None

The line above is wrong - you always define your variables to match your structures properly during your __init__.

For all intents and purposes, [] is the same as None when you're attempting a true/false if statement (of course it's not 100% but I'm trying to make the point).

Having a Null coalescing operator is a cheap and crappy way to escape proper variable definition and proper statement resolution, and it means you don't understand what your code actually does when reaching the compiler, or behavior in the memory. PEP 505 should be rejected.

Heat isn't high enough yet. Average global temperature is 14C degrees. Cambrian Expansion data shows it was 22C degrees.

There is now sufficient data to show concrete as being the #1 CO2 producer, much greater than manufacturing, or the meat industry. As shown by the rock mark on the Isle of the Dead and sea data, the ocean level rose during a period of sustained cooling (doesn't make logical sense, does it?).

We are very far away from actually predicting weather. If Goldman Sachs cannot predict winners of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and they have the best statisticians and modelers that money can buy, why can't we have accurate weather reports?

Flown all my life. Parent was a pilot. A plane has never crashed from turbulence, look up the stats.

I've been in a Cesna and it's dropped 100+ meters only to catch the wind again and we kept flying no issue. Inside the cabin was a different story (like after a frat party).

Your fear of flying isn't a fear of flying, it's a fear of not having control, about putting your life in the hands of other people. As Paul said, Fear is the Mind Killer.

But seriously, you have little-to-no chance of dying in a plane crash. If you flew every day of your life, you'll be in 3 or 4 emergencies though.

Of course I check the airline, the plane details, and when it was put into rotation (hopefully at least 1 or 2 legs before my scheduled flight) before I buy a ticket :-)

No. Logitech keyboards and mice are still not supported properly. My mouse randomly loses app selection ability. The only way to fix is switch to/back another console.

It's pretty much everywhere in Japan. I have a 200Mbit device and pull down 30-40MB/s when I have full bars and I haven't exceeded my plan (then reduced to 200-250kbps).
