Why do you assume this has anything to do with a supply/demand curve? Because that's the first thing you were taught in Econ 101 and it stuck?

In reality, most people aren't that sensitive to small changes in price. And the demand drop is not instant. It might take months or years. Execs make the decision to raise the price, they don't see the demand drop off immediately, and they instantly absolve themselves of any responsibility for the effects of their price increase. After all, there was hardly any demand drop in the quarter in which they made the change.

Look at say, Coca-Cola. You could easily double the price in five years and the price is negligible enough that most people won't even notice. (Oh wait, they did this.)

It was the reddest of flags. Georgia does not have laws that allow them to take action for red flags.

The kid didn't even beat his wife, which is usually the accepted standard if they did have red flag laws.

They're charging the dad again here.

I don't think that's appropriate for every case, but when the parent provides access to an AR-15 with a child that has shown clear signs of mental instability... yeah, that's negligent homicide.

you really shouldn't be using variables with the same name but different capitalization in the same sections of code anyway.

It's a standard convention. Notice step #3 here: https://scottlilly.com/learn-c-by-building-a-simple-rpg-index/lesson-08-1-setting-properties-with-a-class-constructor/

Edit: Step #4 is a different standard convention that also applies here.

It turns out that the easiest thing to program isn't always the best application design.

Nope. Completely different.

Case is often used to distinguish scope. Lowercase is local while uppercase is public. "Name = name" is a pretty standard convention, especially in constructors.

There is a ubiquitous use case in programming. There is not in the file system.

That was the joke.

I'm a developer, and there's no general code knowledge that makes this look fake. Json is pretty standard. Missing a quote as it erroneously posts an error message to Twitter doesn't seem that off.

If you're more familiar with ChatGPT, maybe you can find issues. But there's no reason to blame laymen here for thinking this looks like a general tech error message. It does.

Dude. Paragraphs.

And the people still allow it because double posting to mastodon is just too hard. Maybe Facebook will save them.

Agreed. We should stick to the public healthcare first, and revisit others in 15-20 years.

I'm kind of surprised public healthcare hasn't already been pitched in this way. Hell, that $50k should be a medicare credit.

And you'd likely be held prisoner as a trading chip for Russian murderers.
