Also, not all of the admin overhead would disappear if we got rid of means testing. I don't have the expertise to come up with a specific number, but I'd wager that getting half the admin costs back would be the absolute best case

Oh, yeah... that's definitely not what I had in mind lol. I don't own any gold, but I do have a single silver 1oz coin and imagining that in bar form only brings to mind Zoolander jokes.

I have literally never met a developer who does this (including myself). 99% of all PRs I have ever created or reviewed consist of a single commit that "does the thing" and N commits that fix issues with/debug failure modes o

It's mind-blowing to me that any multi-user git repo is set up to allow pushes to main at all.

The really weird thing to me is that the check marks don't persist across categories. I.e. I marked the story about Youtube as "read" in the "World" tab, but it doesn't get a check in the "USA" tab. S

It was actually and completely voluntary. My only source is that I am a federal contractor who was invited to at least some of the all hands meetings where this was discussed within my agency. The federal government is _huge_ and obviously

I believe the 100k are those that took the "deferred resignation program" at the beginning of the year. They have been getting paid to not bother showing up to work all this time, but are finally coming up on the date where they w

Wait, you go through security without interacting with anyone? How does that work? Other than that though, this really sounds pretty much the same as my experience in US airports in the last decade.

> You still have to pay for it. And you do that by using the refund money. You generally don't though? The airline will rebook you directly, even if the flight is on a different airline in my experience.

Yep. I don't fly a ton, but I had a flight canceled by Alaska a couple of years ago. They refunded me so I wasn't actually out anything, but they also gave me a $100 credit in addition to the refund. I really tried, but since I do

Airline travel is safer than it has ever been in its entire history. What is your evidence for this hypothesis?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. How on Earth could anyone consider the example in #2 "conflict-free"? You haven't removed the conflict, you're just ignored it! Anything can be conflict free in that case. Obvious

This is the same Wells Fargo that silently truncated everyone's online banking passwords? Edit: My bad, I misremembered. It wasn't that they truncated them, it was that they were case insensitive. Which is... objectively worse.

You don't, but large organizations can have a lot of entry points (or none... but that's a different topic), so you let the caller pick the inbound number that will actually reach them or their department, but then you still indep

So in other words, you don't trust any incoming calls, even if they appear to be from a number saved in your contacts?

Awesome. Thanks for taking the time. Glad to understand all of this better. I feel a bit silly now meticulously going through and changing all of my "0.9.3"s to "0.9" in the past, but at least now I know better.

I'm old enough to remember when supermarket brown paper bags didn't have handles... Agree with the other commenter that the handles are pointless but the bags work fine if you just ignore them. Incidentally, given that I'm _n

You have a magical microwave that heats things evenly throughout then. Normal microwaves heat from the outside in so you have to do the stirring and letting sit to get an even temperature throughout.

So there's no difference at all between "0", "0.9" and "0.9.3" in cargo.toml (Since semver says only major version numbers are breaking)? As a decently experienced Rust developer, that's deeply surpri

The missing regulation is some kind of tax or other disincentive against e-waste. I believe the premise of the GP is that such things can only be profitable if we chose to ignore their environmental impact.

I don't think that's true in the vast majority of establishments? Tip pooling usually means that the front of the house staff pool their tips. Not that they share with the entire restaurant.

Not quite that easy. What if two trains are both traveling towards separate green signals into the same block such that the second train gets a red signal, but not in time to stop? I think it's possible to overcome this, but it become
