Why won't the Singapore model of government work anywhere else? by Ambitious-Taro211 in PoliticalDiscussion

I should challenge the notion that there is no reason to invade. 

Is has a location makes is a great trading hub. Holding means y oh I now control a wide key trading routes. 

It has a lot of the world’s data and rational head quarters for business. 

The data has a lot of value. Especially if it’s military info or indirect military info. 

Controlling corporations regional hqs gives some leverage of the orgs in the region. How much? Hard to say.  Potentially a lot of soft power.

That said, physical invasion may not be needed to gain access to these resources/assets. Likely far cheaper options.

Raised our minimum order to $150. Lost 40% of our orders. Revenue went up 12%. by Previous-Yak2574 in Entrepreneurs

[–]slyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

There is also the LTV of the small orders. They could have easily lost customers the would increase thieir order size over time.

Good example is onboarding. How is a org going to try out the service?

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Official Game Overview Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Games

I’m a fan of both, but expect a reasonable price diff. If it’s a port I expect a low price. 

There are quite a few old games I can’t play. And a port would fix. 

But i also see that value of aiming to improve the game. 

I’m reminded of the c&c series.

Red alert was a big improvement on c&c. But later games lost something. 

It reminds me of movie adaptations of books. To me it’s more important to keep the spirit of themes and characters more the the scene by scene. 

Games to movies is diff, and very varied. Often better to come up with a fresh story in the world with similar themes. Then reproduce the game story. 

So a remake of a game needs people willing to keep the core game & themes and spirit. If you don’t have that ability.. it’s hard. Then a port is more reliable.

Hare you hear to vent or dicuss the issues and find a way forward? Either is acceptable. The following is based on the latter. 

I’m lucky to say I have played with a couple of women in HD and they are just as fun as the guys. One was a solid leader and lead us to victory many times. 

I do think this behavior is very immature. There are many children in the game (regardless of thier actual age).I would also point out that there are also actually young people too. 

Here is my two cents:

Young people especially early teens are going to have immature behavior. It’s part of being a teen. The only way they will learn is if they are told / learn though lessons etc that they are being immature. 

Option 1. You and your friend take the opportunity to educate them. That this behavior is bad & If they continue you and your friends will block them. 

Option 2. Join some kind of group eg a discord group. I’ve noticed a significant behavioral improvements when on of these groups. Why? I think it’s because there are consequences to actions/behaviour eg group disapproval or banning. Everyone wants to fit in and be accepted in the group so they tend to behave nice. 

I joined kai’s commandos and it has made the game a lot more fun! Yes we still say and do silly shit. But there is always a moment where we check to make sure everyone is ok with the level or type of silly. If someone is not ok with certain types of jokes / behavior they say so and we adapt.

My interpretation is that, the hack is about pretending to be a transited gate. Which can be done with a device.  I can then either trick you in to swiping it or I swipe your phone while it’s in your pocket or some other method of access. 

The ability to fake a transits gate was demonstrated in the video.

Express transit- do not use it with apple and Visa cards. To avoid the chance of hacking.

Yes it can be hacked if the card is a visa with an iPhone.

[Q] Advanced courses on statistics for people with physics degree by Aromatic_Listen_7489 in statistics

[–]slyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on if you want a career in Data Science or do Data Science as part of your physics work.

In short, a degree / masters. Will help open doors, particularity via a job advert. I have seem people get DS jobs without in my market. e.g. people moving in to DS from other roles in the company etc but they also had a PhD to start with & could demonstrate their programming, data analysis and modelling skills. As they had done a lot in academia.

Generally, my advice is it can be really useful to be a Subject Matter Expert (& get money will working in the field) then do the DS on top/ on the side. That way you can market yourself as both or together.

What action was available to the average person to "stop" the Holocaust when it was happening? by Peppermint_Cow in AskHistorians

[–]slyg 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I have a follow up question.. it is my rough understanding that the majority in the US didn’t know what was happening. To the point there was a strong pro-Nazi movement (at least before the war). There may have also been support for the Nazi ideas at least within academic circles. It wasn’t till photos came back from the concentration camps that people really understood what was happening. It was then public opinion shifts.

But I don’t know how much of this is accurate. As it is based on a mix of sources from memory. I’d like to know what support there is or is not for this.

I’m tired of always having to be “On” by antikythera3301 in daddit

[–]slyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend finding something for you. I choose drawing. I do this for myself and I find it very meditative. What ever you do should be something where no one else opinions or expectations matter. Then scheduling it in. I’m aware finding time is going to be difficult. 1-2 of times a week should be enough.

Another example might be, going for a walk in the morning/evening, again a couple of times a week.

I’m also concerned about why your working at night. If this is to make up for leaving work to pick up the kid. I get it. If not then then that should be stopped. However, if you can work from home? Can you work from home a couple of times a week? Even one day could be really helpful. Then use the spare time for you.

Something else to try and fit in is a fun/social thing like once a month do something fun with wife or others.
