This can be generalized to: Every time someone offers you a "deal of a lifetime" it's a deal that mostly benefits him. If it doesn't screw over a third person it usually screws you, and if it screws over someone else it still might screw you.
That's why the smart man will find deals himself. E.g. instead of waiting for a prospect from a cars dealer that makes him a good offer, he will study what makes a good second hand car, when the prices of second hand cars are lowest and then he will go and make an offer to a caring owner of a car to become its second hand owner.
It's a ridiculous rule, but really after one incident just accept it and move on. Next time book someone else. Don't make a review in other locations. (and then make a blog post, and then repost that blog post on another website)
As long as everybody is investing their time, money and health as free choice I think it's a good thing and we should support them.
Of course it's a pipe dream. Of course people will dump sh*tloads of money for no results. Of course people will die if they really start doing stuff like this. But is there really a way to achieve such kind of goal without such sacrifices?
By that logic, we should celebrate Madoff for sacrificing other people's money. I don't think it's unreasonable for society to set limits on the scams and cons businesses are allowed to be based on.
Let's say you are right. Then we should discuss why Mars One is a scam and SpaceX isn't. And just saying "SpaceX has succeeded until now" is not really cutting it. Being a billionaire and probably having quite some parental and silicon valley network to make use of, Musk simply also had much better odds. But this is not something you or I couldn't have guessed when Mars One started. It's quite obvious.
So from what I can see you can't say one is a scam and the other isn't. Both are a gamble and the one succeeded until now while the other hasn't. A scam is, when they didn't even try to do anything. Or when they used the money to buy yachts instead of financing space base science. Is there something like this? If they sold a pipe dream and worked hard to try to make it become reality, imho, it's not enough to call it a scam.
Too short text for that topic. Container world certainly needs a lot of storage problems resolved. So, why do containers not need this? What part of it do containers not need?
A Default VirtualBox configuration does not allow direct host-> guest access, it's on some hidden VB-only NAT. You need to change the Network Interface type to Bridged or Host-only or something else to have access to the VM.
I haven't done it for some time, but in my memory it was neither a problem on OSX nor on Linux with VBox. Maybe try Vagrant? I don't remember, sorry. But ask around and you should find a super easy way to make this happen.
It sounds like you are talking about NAT mode on virtualbox. In this case you can set up port forwarding in the network settings. Also, you can actually reach the host from the guest. In my case my guest has an IP of 10.0.2.15 by default, and I can reach the host on 10.0.2.2
Also you can compare it with the age below. Most people are 21-29 years old, but have 11+ years of experience? I think the meta-physics of the job market make people write bigger numbers than truthfully would apply.
A smarter way might be to ask when was the first month/year that one got paid for python dev work and then calculate the experience number oneself.
The pool of respondents aged 30-39 was 31% and all 30+ was 49%. So 25% of all respondents having 11+ years in IT shouldn't be farfetched. I myself am in my late twenties and I'm not far from 11 years of professional experience.
Interesting is also that you can learn history much better outside of school. In contrast to education institutions youtubers for instance usually succeed at presenting the stuff in an interesting fashion. And if you listen to these kind of presentations in several languages or from diverse political influenced sources then you can also get a rather objective overview.
I think it's important to define what "learn history" means. I think a lot of these pop history vidoes are good to supplement or replace poor high school history.
However, studying history at a university is a different beast. My experience was an incredible focus on context-building to understand what the sources are actually saying. This usually means building up a large amount of background knowledge (historical, literary, cultural, etc.) before even beginning to study the target period. It also means more critical thinking when looking at the sources themselves.
I've found that most podcasts and youtube videos, although good entertainment and better quality than a lot of high school courses, deeply lacking in the kind of critical thinking and study it takes to make the generalizations that they're making.
This makes it difficult for me to listen or watch pop history video/audio, since the methodology they use is usually poor (the only exceptions I've found thus far are: /r/AskHistorians (usually, not always) and the Revolutions Podcast (his methodology is good)).
I suppose the point that I'm trying to make is that these popular medias are a good at what they do and function as a great starting point. However, they contain factual errors and conclusions, and they should not be confused with the study of history.
It is not just about allegiance seeking but also about beating other groups. And it's not just for fun but for zero-sum resources like budget, "more moral standpoint", natural resources, human resources, votes, views etc.
So altogether probably 3 points to consider (reason to do politics - zero-sum resources, challenges to succeed in - other teams try to get a bigger piece of the cake, and ways to achieve success - building alliances).
My problem with eve is that you think "oh this career path might be interesting", and then either you invest $300 or spend 3 months training in that direction, BEFORE YOU CAN TRY IT! Usually try or not is something a human wants to decide in a few days if he's patient.
I actually think it has pretty good systems for "trying out" a specialization before committing to it (except for maybe the capitals and super capitals). Pretty much all of the T2 "specialized" ships have a T1 equivalent that can be fitted similarly. If you want to try out exploration, or mining, or hauling, or ewar, you don't have to wait until you can fly the expensive, high skill requirement ships. You can learn the basics and see if you like it in expendable T1 ships with cheap fittings.
No it's not. Mastodon is not Twitter. Mastodon does not compete with Twitter. Mastodon was not meant to replace Twitter. It was meant to replace GNU social. Mastodon is also not the entirety of the fediverse.
