Both meters and seconds are units of Earth specific measures of space and time. Pretty sure at a cosmic scale god would give fuckall about how we measure and name our shit

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Did anyone else not even know who Charlie Kirk was!?
11·8 个月前Nope. I did know some morons out there thought mass or school shootings weren’t a big deal and complained civil rights encroached on their feelings of white supremacy. Never knew his name specifically because it feels like there’s a whole cluster of those idiots who no one ever taught the Golden Rule to. Be kind and treat all people respectfully.
I felt bad about him dying because having idiotic ideals doesn’t mean he didn’t deserve life, but I also kind of chalked the event up to darwinism. If someone constantly puts themselves in front of the masses promoting hate and violence, its only a matter of time before hatred and violence finds them. In that aspect, he probably wasn’t fully innocent of the event himself as so many have made him out to be. I never heard of Hitler himself ever personally killing anyone, but his rhetoric and influence of others was the cause of plenty of deaths. Murder is always wrong.

5·1 年前In a competitive poorly regulated capitalist economy that’s driven by bottom lines and dividends, I’m pretty sure being a narcissistic sociopath is a prereq for the C suite

71·2 年前Also, i think income tax is double taxation. Businesses are the key market players in an economy so why not orient all taxation around them? Do away with personal income tax and property tax. Keep/increase sales tax, luxury tax, sin tax. And clamp the largest salary in a company to be allowed no more than 20x the average salary in the company to address wage disparities. If the CEO deserves a 1 mil bonus, the average employee deserves at least a 50k bonus. Also, no worker’s rate can be paid less than 1/20th the salary than the average employee. The more spread out the dollars are, the better it is for the economy.

72·2 年前So with a 401k loan, which is kind of this, you are limited to borrowing against it by like only up to 50% of its face value due to factors such as market volatility. And then all payments made to that loan are with alreaey taxed income, so you aren’t securing money in any way that dodges taxation.
Also using shareholdings is no different from using a house or property as collateral… property equity has unrealized value until it is sold too. One might argue you pay property taxes on that equity, but ideally, the company behind the stocks you own pays property taxes for its ownings annually, so that’s still happening. So the real problem is large companies dodging taxes due to exploiting broken tax code loopholes.
If there’s commonly used data that would be good for indexing or filtering, you can take a few key values and keep them stored in their own fields.
There are also often functions that can parse structured text like XML or JSON so you can store data in blobs but not actually need to query all the blobs out to a client to use them on the database side and retrieve specific values. Another nice thing about blobs is the data can be somewhat flexible in structure. If i need to add a field to something that is a key/value pair inside a blob, i dont necessarily have to change a bunch of table schemas to get the functionality on the front end that I’m after. Just add a few keys inside the blob.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana?
6·2 年前It’s still the same situation with illegal drugs, but America outsourced the production and supply chain largely underground (and to other countries as they are much easier to smuggle than alcohol.) So same problems and empowering gangs, but happening outside Americas borders, and thus not America’s problem. Most present day issues with drug cartels are a derivative of America trying to control peoples’ access to substances and driving them from the open market to the black market… seems to have done a lot more harm to the world and peoples lives than good (as an opinion).

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could ask one question and get a 100% true answer, what would it be and why?
8·3 年前What is the most beneficial knowledge which can be enlightened upon me which i can both understand and relay and/or implemenet which will have the greatest positive impact on humanity while also being a medium for my own success and instrumental in self-fulfillment spiritually, economically, and emotionslly?
Maybe one of the times he failed outright and another time he only got to 2nd base



Nothing about that cruel suggestion makes any sense. Why did it need to a baby, why can’t it be trying to shoot the idiot making this insane suggestion who volunteers to wear a necklace and be shot.
Counter-offer: same scenario to the ignorant Christian who is shit-posting, but the necklace is of Ra, the Egyptian Sun God. Let’s see if he would convert. Moron.
