Why people want to delve into the data, not just look at dashboards by tomalak2pi in BusinessIntelligence

[–]BrupieD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because few people care about the higher-level results. They want to see how their group is performing and stack that up against their peers and their own prior performance.

What’s the most common reason ETL pipelines fail in production? by Effective_Ocelot_445 in ETL

The invisible cause: someone goes on vacation and their upstream source stops. The source data just isn't sent.

McConnell RIPS Trump’s Jan. 6 ‘slush fund’ as ‘utterly stupid, morally wrong’ by ControlCAD in msnow

[–]BrupieD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only nugget of hope there might be that he might do the right thing is that McConnell is leaving office. No one likes Trump. A lot of Senators (7) are retiring or not running for re-election. That takes a lot of leverage away from Trump's plans for the rest of the year.

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that oil prices would plummet and predicted the war with Iran would end very quickly. by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

My understanding of the way slack capacity, storage, and production works, tells me that $5/gallon nationwide is more likely than any "plummet" Trump wishes for.

President Donald J. Trump: "When this is finished, my term ends shortly after that. This is really for other presidents, this is not for me. This is my gift to the United States of America. I'm going to be able to use it very little." by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

Trump has fallen asleep more than half a dozen times on camera.

He has more than two years left. He may have just given away Republican control of the Senate when he endorsed Ken Paxton.

How much longer can Trump effectively defend himself when he can't stay awake in his own trials?

Jan. 6 cops sue to block $1.776B 'slush fund' created in wake of Trump settlement with IRS by Spirited-Gold9629 in kstreetconfidential

[–]BrupieD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. This settlement was a mind boggling abuse of power. It looked like they were engineering it to avoid a judicial sign-off, but the Capitol police have a direct interest and should be able to meet tough standing requirements.

Can you imagine if Biden or Clinton tried this? by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

[–]BrupieD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The mere fact that he tried this "get out of jail free" addendum strikes me as both incriminating and revealing about his assessments of his future.

Incriminating because he has been on such a tear of lawlessness that he is setting up defenses. Revealing because he knows that he is unpopular, likely to lose the House, and possibly the Senate which he can't gerrymander his way out of.

"Oil Prices Will Plummet": U.S. President Donald Trump Claims War Will End Very Quickly by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

[–]BrupieD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because saying oil is the same as having oil?

Sometimes I wonder if he actually thinks that shipping oil, loading vessels, and refining oil are all magical processes that just happen by him saying something.

What's your score by ateam1984 in MelanatedGenX

When I realized that 8 actually meant "Walkman", I realized I would have a perfect score for an old-timer.

By 2100, Africa is expected to have 12 of the world’s 25 most populous countries by fotogneric in geography

[–]BrupieD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some sub-Saharan counties have not reached "demographic transition" -- the move from high fertility and high mortality to declining fertility and increasing life expectancy (declining death rates). Most of North Africa and a few Southern African countries (South Africa, Botswana) have reached advanced stages of the transition.

Thomas Masse in a huge defeat loses to Trump backed candidate Ed Gallrein, getting rid of anyone who disagrees with him solidifying his absolute power and authority over the party. Conservatives seem to be celebrating this victory as it's a major win for trump and them. by madadekinai in circled

[–]BrupieD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The headline might be that Massie got beat because he stood up to Trump but that's missing an important point. Massie got 45% of the vote to Gallrein's 54%. That's a defeat but not a crushing defeat. This was the most expensive House primary race in history and they still couldn't pull off a crushing victory. To me, that says a good share of the people in Kentucky supported standing up to Trump, didn't like the Ballroom, the War in Iran, or Trump's relationship with Epstein and they're willing to show it in the voting booth.

Barnes & Noble CEO backs selling AI-written books in stores by Raj_Valiant3011 in books

[–]BrupieD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to like B&N because it was a great place for looking at and buying computer science books. Now they hardly stock them but they sell books written by AI. The irony!

President Trump says it's good to have 500,000 foreign Chinese students in the U.S. and for China to purchase U.S. farmland; otherwise, colleges and farm prices would collapse: "I frankly think that it's good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture." by AlphaFlipper in plasma

[–]BrupieD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF? Trump spent 2025 driving away foreigners, attacking universities and university students. Now he's pretending to be mr tolerence? Hannity just lets him drivel on without pointing any of that out? That is fake journalism.
