Would it be a fair analogy that the president is in a constant state of Zugzwang - ever subsequent move he makes only ends up making things worse.

I think just forego the hypocrisy and have the Israeli's move the White House over there and put one of their own in it instead of pulling the strings.

Are all our foreign policy decisions now made in Tel Aviv to suit Israel?

What's the desired strategic outcome here - to remove the incumbent president and his political party from power and replace it with one more favorable to US oil interests? And to do that without putting ground troops in to some Latin American Vietnam? Good luck with that.

I'm 100% certain the douche who runs Ryanair is extremely concerned about paper waste.

Building a tourist app for my local city here upstate New York, since nobody in the local government office can be bothered.

The guy made an honest mistake - like that time I mistakenly stayed in the bar across the street from one wedding venue (that I had been invited to) and then tried to mingle with the crowd once they came out.

"May I direct your honor that my client is a wealthy tech billionaire who would otherwise be at risk of being slightly annoyed if they were sent to jail for intercepting private communications of competitors..."

> it was just indifference.

Absolutely spot on, and to paraphrase Tallyrand, it was worse than a crime, it was indifference.

> There is something genuinely scary about the idea of people so caught up in their own self-image that they think leadership is turning up on stage to dispense divine corporate manna unto the huddles masses, then expectantly waiting for the choir to raise their voices in sickly-sweet supplication: "That's a great idea, boss.

Amen, amen. Let us rejoice for a prophet has arisen that cuts through the corporate image.

I think what's been said, and the description of the general ineptness of that particular manager, has been 100% spot on. Middle management as a whole has basically gotten worse, meaner and generally less technically capable since 2018.

Seems workable - thanks!

I'm wondering how accurate this might prove measuring automobile traffic on a relatively busy street?

I've been pondering some way to track the number of vehicles that pass my house each day, and would like (but not ideal) to get their average speed too. Was thinking about computer vision, and even audio doppler approaches, but this seems simpler - if only the bluetooth sensing might work on a device moving at 50mph+ at a distance of maybe 20 to 100 yards.
