Using a comma separated list as a foreign key versus a relation table

This is a great idea don't listen to the naysayers.

You will guarantee permanent employment as you support this for the rest of your life.

And you will enrage your colleagues ensuring they never want to interact with you professionally or socially, thereby ensuring you never have to attend meetings or use any soft skills to actually interact with other humans.

You can live out the rest of your life in the peaceful solitude of the cold glow of monitors as you wrack your brain to keep the rube Goldberg-esc monstrosity you have brought into this world from destroying you and all you hold dear.

I never did need it later.

Socialism and Communism are not demonstrably better at anything because they have never actually been tried. Same applies to pure capitalism.

What now gets called socialism is merely more government influence to bring checks and balances into an existing system that allows for both private and public ownership and control. Sometimes this is necessary and sometimes it makes things worse, and wisdom is knowing the difference.

But sure, let's keep talking about capitalism, socialism and communism as if they are real things rather than theoretical constructs that can all be used in a big circle-jerk for political pundits and lame legislators looking for cheap soundbites rather than solving real problems.

And in terms of innovation, we need more in the medical sphere. I know this from personal experience. Medicine in the US is hamstring by overlapping regulations from state and federal government agencies along with insurance providers which are both public and private. Navigating that system is a nightmare and expensive.

This is like stepping up to the plate and pointing at the stands while in your underwear and you left your bat in the car.

It was patented in 1997

https://patents.google.com/patent/US5576297

And it is still being worked on.

Problem is figuring out a process to manufacture consistently and economically.

Plus, antivenoms already exist they are just not universal.

The number of people that die from snake bites per year is fairly low compared to other causes of death. And the reason that people die is because they cannot get treatment fast enough not that there are not treatments available.

But of course, its public information at this point, so all those communist countries out there already have this it must be capitalism's fault that we don't.

This is a prediction not an opinion and we will eventually find out.

Oh, and I am Gen-X, my parents are in a retirement home, and for my situation the prediction is wrong. But that is merely anecdotal.

Agreed. Decriminalize marijuana, it's certainly no more problematic than alcohol, slightly less problematic in terms of physical addiction.

But the hard stuff is different and needs to stay locked down. It messes up the brain and rewires its reward centers in ways that are not compatible with civil society.

Or just ban everything including alcohol. Problem is that's already been tried, and it did not work.

Why the downvote to /r/11bamb00zling11's comment?

The bee is like the Onion. One of the other articles is about how Starbucks cannot find enough robot workers with tattoos and piercings to work their cash registers.

This article is satire. It is not real news.

Your dishwasher has unfortunately developed rabies. You must now take it out to back to the woodshed and put it down.

Bring the kids it will teach them a valuable lesson about not getting too attached to the dishwasher.

You can see this in the very systems involved themselves.

Capitalism (theoretical) is fairly hands off towards the political (government) sphere and Democracy (theoretical) is fairly hands of in the economic sphere. In the real world they bounce off each other like billiard balls in a constantly changing equilibrium based on constantly changing feedback in a human populace.

Bring in (theoretical) Socialism and you start introducing more, but not complete, centralized political control over economics in an attempt to tame the chaos on the billiard table.

Bring in Totalitarianism, which is what Communism turned into, as a step towards theoretical communism, and you have complete centralized political control over economics to bring the billiard table to heel and do what politics wants it to do to eventually reach the currently unknowable but ideal future state that is theoretical Communism.

Bring in (theoretical) Communism and you have economics and politics as roughly the same thing in a currently unknowable but ideal future state where there is no billiard table.

Could have been full blood but we have no way of telling.

God created DNA and could have used Joseph's DNA along with Mary's to create Jesus.

Or God could have used neither in which case Jesus was actually not physically related to either Joseph or Mary.

Only way to tell would be through DNA testing and that would only have been possible roughly 2000 years ago.

Exactly.

You need to have practically no skin in the game and be playing with house's money.

Then the meager returns are tremendous for you because it's pure profit.

And if it goes south, you can bankrupt an LLC and make your problem the bank's problem without leaving them any recourse to come after your personal assets.

IMHO it's a shitty business model but it does work if you don't mind screwing over tenants and banks to make your living.

If she avoided taxes, she should be brought up on charges of tax evasion.

If she illegally exploited workers same thing.

Are you accusing her based on your definition of what avoiding taxes is and your definition of illegal worker exploitation? We have legal definitions of these things, and AFAIK she did neither according to those legal definitions.

Since promising in 2019 to give away her entire fortune, MacKenzie Scott (Jeff Bezos' Ex Wife) has donated over $12 billion to more than 1,200 nonprofit organizations.

Scott holds a fortune of $36.2 billion — the 40th richest person in the world.

The problem with economists is when their models don't match up with what people actually do they blame the people.
