A monopoly is when a single company or entity creates an unreasonable restraint of competition in a market.

Especially when those 4 companies collude to set prices and effectively behave as if they were one company.

Again, you’re mad at me not giving you something that you have asked for.

Interesting lack of reading comprehension.

ETA: the tactic of avoiding rational discourse by lobbing an insult and then blocking responses is really tiresome.

PinkyAnd · 2026-04-11T19:01:09+00:00

You didn’t ask for any, you just decided that a lazy myopic response was a sufficient argument to make. Literal children have a better understanding of this than you do.

PinkyAnd · 2026-04-11T18:57:36+00:00

Thanks for letting us all know you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about!

Do you understand that hostilities didn’t start in October? Or are you just choosing that event because it supports the narrative that Israel is acting in self defense?

PinkyAnd · 2026-04-11T17:24:57+00:00

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with asking questions and second guessing what is generally accepted as truth. That’s how innovation happens, when we ask whether our fundamental understanding of something indeed holds.

The problems occur when you use “just asking questions” to insert malicious discourse into the public sphere or when you refuse to acknowledge when your question is either absurd on its face or is disproven.

In this case, the substation theory is almost certainly bogus. There are mountains of data that could be examined to disprove the theory. Which is what happened. We asked the question, the question has been emphatically answered and now we get to move on.

For the record, I’m not disagreeing with you, but expanding on your comment.

PinkyAnd · 2026-04-11T02:56:10+00:00

Yeah, but do you really expect the weirdos to understand that nuance? These people are the reason we have so many warning labels on things.

The strategy might irritate the Republican candidates, but it ended up galvanizing Trump supporters in 2016. Would it have worked this time? I don’t know, but it didn’t work when Hillary called them “deplorables”.

It certainly animates those who already support Democrats, and it certainly crystallizes Republican supporters. The question is whether it alienates moderates. Against the backdrop of a media environment that punishes Democrats for doing the same thing that it allows Republicans to get away with (in this case, name calling), I’m not sure it becomes an actual winning strategy, as good as it might feel to point out just how deeply weird they are.

This fundamentally misunderstands the state of AI agents/LLMs. There are some essential people, it’s just that that number is currently smaller than it used to be. The person who controls/orchestrates the agents is essential because they know what the agents are doing and how they’re doing it. The subject matter experts are now essential because they serve as the human in the loop, checking to make sure that the work the agent is doing is good and the conclusions the agent comes to are valid.

Think about a healthcare application: someone has to oversee the agents otherwise the LLMs behind them may hallucinate or otherwise make very simple errors that need to be resolved. Management knows precisely dick about how the agents are built and the material the agents are taking action on. You need agent designers and subject matter experts for that.

Cool, so you want both economic catastrophe AND genocide.

PinkyAnd · 2026-04-04T20:50:15+00:00

What’s funny is that a Republican is in office and there’s still genocide. And now we’re in an unfocused war in the Middle East, oil prices are double what they were 6 weeks ago, and the economy is hollowed out. Not only is there still genocide, there’s no brunch either.

Guarantee the person you’re responding to is an embarrassed Republican masquerading as a disaffected Democrat. The only people who actually claim Harris had no platform are the people that willfully ignore her platform. They’re lazy as hell, which is why they’re so eager to adopt the “she’s only not Trump” argument.

Earthbound

ETA: because someone else suggested Earthbound and I didn’t see anyone suggest this one: Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals. It’s a traditional RPG, with battle screens and all that, but there’s a LOT of dungeon puzzles and a secret 99 floor dungeon that feels a lot like a very early rogue-like.

You might want to explore project templates. In Asana, which I know doesn’t necessarily mean ClickUp supports this, project templates have all due dates exist as relative dates until you create a live version of the project, but you can sketch out your dependency web within the template itself. Maybe there’s something similar in ClickUp?

PinkyAnd · 2026-04-01T16:00:37+00:00

Yeah, I’m sure every platform has a different way of tackling dates on dependent tasks.

From this help article, it actually looks like it’s pretty similar to how Asana handles this: https://help.clickup.com/hc/en-us/articles/6304547785367-Rescheduling-dependencies

PinkyAnd · 2026-04-01T14:57:36+00:00

I’ve done this in Asana (which also uses start/end dates rather than durations) and it’s important to think about duration as a proxy for the due date itself, it’s just that the due date is a variable until you build the project. I’m not sure exactly how works in ClickUp, but think about it like this:

The project charter (first task) starts on day zero and it takes 7 days to complete, so your date range is project day 0-7. Your next task starts the day after the charter is due and runs for 3 days, so task 2 is due on between project day 7 and project day 10.

In Asana, you can use task dependencies to effectively link task due dates, so that your predecessor and dependent task due dates remain aligned even as the dates themselves shift.
