I don't get how so many people carry their computer illiteracy as a badge of honor.
Chatgpt is useful.
Is it as useful as Tech Evangelists praise it to be? No. Not yet - and perhaps never will be.
But I sure do love to let it write my mails to people who I don't care for, but who I don't want to anger by sending my default 3 word replies.
It's a tool to save time. Use it or pay with your time if you willfully ignore it.
Of course, it's basically a communist idea from even before the Russian revolution.
To answer your question: since corporations aren't allowed to own more than the buildings they work with, they could not buy foreign real estate - except for facilities or offices they really use.
I don't think I know all the answers, it was just a interesting idea I read a while ago.
As far as I know it was never implemented, so weather it would work out or not is just speculation.
I don't live in the USA, so my trust in my government is at least a little bit higher.
I agree that the government under trump is... not suitable for such a socialist concept. One can only hope that a better one will rise from the ashes.
That being said, in general, control by the state is better for the people, even though it's less effective. Taking 'greed' out of the equation for the housing market would do wonders.
My take?
corporations aren't allowed to own land or houses other than the office space and production facilities.
people can only own the buildings they live in (with proof of living there at least X% of the year)
The state takes over all houses and land that become unused by these laws
The state rents out their property as 'rent to own', or as housing for the homeless
I'm just happy about the people who google for a 'strap-on' after this...
He is a weak mans idea of a strong man. He is a dumb mans idea of a smart man. He is a gullible mans idea of a trustworthy man.
A con man through and through. Only the mentally weak and brainwashed people believe in him. Too bad that there are so many of them.
Yes I had a coworker that commented like that:
i++; // increase i by one
Tells you nothing new - a wasted comment. Everyone who can program know this. A comment that describes what you do.
i++; // increase i to move to the next entry
A better comment, explaining why you do what you do. Always add information in your comments that the code doesn't supply already. If you name your variables and methods well, good code is often self-explanatory. Use comments when it's not.
Of course in this trivial example no comment would be needed.
Oh and use XML comments, when applicable.
How the hell are we supposed to install it without a Internet connection? I worked in a company that was so hard on security that only certified machines were allowed access to the net, so virtual machines were not allowed to access the LAN and therefore the Internet. Generally not a problem as we just used them to test software on different OS versions, so no Internet required.
This change disallows all offline installs. What is their gain? Are they that keen on our data or are they planning to use the connection to a Microsoft account for something even worse than just selling personal information? I could think of a few reasons and none are nice...
Reminds me of this joke:
Two worker see their boss arrive in a fancy car. The older worker sees the envy in his younger colleges eyes and says "You like the car? Well, if you really put in the time - you know, really work hard and do a lot of overtime - for a few years? Just work yourself to the bone. And that might just be enough... for him to buy another."
Didn't he already get a side chick? I vaguely remember something like that...
Because America has become the caricature of a country?
Saying you heard of it but don't even try it and then brag on social media about it is different than trying it and then deciding it's not worth it/more trouble than it's worth.
Do I see it as detrimental to education? Definitely, especially since teachers are not prepared for it.
