For some reason, the illustrations really gave me the JoJo vibe. Does anyone else feel this book may have inspired Araki to create JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Phantom Blood?
Google maps is pretty much one of the only Google products that I still actively use. It's funny that this article was written and published today, since I had noticed the exact same thing yesterday! Does anyone know when it first started?
I am really baffled by this claim, since I've been observing the Global Hunger Index for a while, where India has consistently fared worse than even DPRK (North Korea), and is almost the same level as Afghanistan, a country that has been at war for 20 years. https://www.globalhungerindex.org/
I am not sure if these 2 reports are contradictory, or whether they are in agreement with each other (since the GHI score for India has been trending downwards). Does anyone who is more knowledgeable on this please explain?
This has been my personal gripe for a long time now! Imagine that I needed to borrow £1000 from my mum, she lends me that money, and then I return that much back to her shortly after; therefore generating £2000 in GDP. It excludes the reason why I needed to borrow that money, ie it could be that I am in dire economic situation, and could not pay for essentials, therefore this GDP growth is due to poverty rather than growth!
Additionally, in the US, there is a thing called "imputed GDP", which is essentially GDP that is not realised due to an owned property being lived in and not being rented out. This generally accounts for around 15% of US's GDP https://www.bea.gov/help/faq/488 I guess companies such as Black Rock seem to be doing good for the GDP by buying people's properties and then renting it back to them.
tl;dr I am also not a fan of purely looking at GDP as an accurate metric for the economy.
To solve your problem with Epic games, all you need to do is to find the installation directory of the said game, create a shortcut for it, and voila! A DRM free game!
Remember, do not use Epic's own game shortcuts that the client created for you, since the shortcut path has the Epic client's COM object bound to it.
As a note, this also works for games that's installed from GoG galaxy that requires the client to be up before the game runs.
I have no idea when it happened, but recently I have been explaining to my girlfriend that we are all Bayesian machines, that we are constantly working with priors and posteriors, and while that subconciously our posteriors are updated a lot slower, I often ask her to try to conciously to update our posterior to try to (re)evaluate our beliefs sooner based on our observations.
Great, I am not talking about France though, I am talking about England. Unless England now is part of France, which last time I checked, is definitely not the case!
> the idea that crops would fail from climate change
There was a massive drought in England about 10 years back, where farmers had to change the types of crops back then to accommodate for the drought, which was then proceeded by a large flooding. Why would say this time is different from 2012? Especially given that there had been talks (and sometimes actual) hosepipe ban every single year since.
I've been wondering the same. Surely given the amount that has been quoted in this article of $160k, I would assume millions of dollars gets scammed on a yearly basis. Why has this not even become a diplomatic issue yet?
No, and I wouldn't, since I absolutely love it. I've put our entire build pipeline and everything into one single cluster at the moment, and been finding it incredibly straight-forward and easy to build our CI/CD pipelines using it.
Do I recommend Kubernetes to other people/companies though? Absolutely not! The learning curve is incredibly steep, and it really does take investment into understanding how it works.
But to anyone who is looking to use Kubernetes, I highly recommend https://helm.sh since it actually makes templating deployments significantly easier.
Basically, the TL;DR version of this is that no, the average voter's decisions do not sway the decision of politicians, but the politicians decisions are heavily correlated with the preferences of the top 10% earners.
