It's an Indian newspaper. Indian English is just about as different from American English as it's possible to get.

These areas are only growing from net migration in because the housing there is so expensive that the people from there can no longer keep up, and most of their kids have to move away in early adulthood to establish their own household beca

It doesn't ruin neighborhoods, it creates housing for a lot more people to live in, bringing down housing costs citywide, and it makes the neighborhood better and more vibrant with more people.

It's not that surprising to me. Ships with a crew of 8 will have a cook to feed everyone. Eating is pretty essential, and I think they were working pretty hard at the office back in those days.

The exact mechanism of employee compensation here doesn't matter. Either the tech worker pays $30+6 tip for a meal and the server makes $10, or the tech worker pays $36 with no tip for a meal and the server is paid more and still make

If you contract for services for a year, and pay for that year up front at a discounted rate, why would you expect a refund if you unilaterally terminate the contract partway through? Just wait until the contract is up to switch services. Y

Well, whatever you want to call it, it's not monopoly, it's not illegal, and it's not even necessarily intended; it's just the nature of things that switching incurs costs. By this definition I too am "locked in&quo

Some people I know pronounce it the French way, for whatever that's worth. And these are not all people that speak French.

You need fine-grained statistics. It certainly isn't true that 65% of the people living or working in big dense Dutch cities like Amsterdam drive to work. That statistic more reflects how much the population of the Netherlands is spr

There's no lock in here. People are free to switch to one of the many competing services. It's not a monopoly under any reasonable definition of the term. Of course switching is going to have inertia, but that's not lock in.

Regardless of whether it's allowed or not, it's very hard to stop, and laws are routinely broken all the time (like drivers speeding).

It's not quite the right question to ask. The government is going to destroy whatever it wants to in the air, and there's only ever gonna be potential consequences (of a diplomatic nature) if it accidentally results in the injury&

The weight of the object doesn't matter though. All that matters is ita radar cross-section, which can be through the roof even from a one gram piece of metal foil (which would give it much more total radar cross-section than an entire

Yeah, let's now hear the stats on "fatal accidents within 30s of FSD being enabled". You really just can't trust Tesla at all, about anything. There's no integrity there. They won't even be honest with the name

I don't like hybrid because I prefer to go in every day but a lot of my coworkers don't come into the office very often. I'd rather teams were fully WFO or fully WFH instead of hybrid. That's not really an option at my w

The F-22s are the most capable and are thus what are actually on-station as a reaction force, plus they have the highest flight ceiling which is relevant for taking out some of these balloons.

> I like the model, but I question long term economic viability of owning that much office space with mostly low utilization and only occasional spikes. Oh for sure it doesn't make any sense, and is driven solely by the inertia of a

Well "joke" may not exactly be the right word since it's not actually funny, so how about "satire"? The point is, it's definitely not REAL.

Whatever the first site that popped up on Google was lied to me :( Anyway that just makes my point even stronger.

This concern is way overblown. Over the past month the average transaction fee has hovered around a dollar, at level at which it's entirely reasonable to perform international money changing as the people you replied to were doing. If

How convenient to make strikes illegal. That disarms the union of one of its most potent weapons in ensuring its members get their due.

The linked website isn't real. NYC is very safe and doesn't remotely need this level for security for 99.9999% of people.

I'm assuming you're joking, but if you're not ... How the hell are you getting a heavily weighted net up to 60,000 feet?!

For what it's worth, this is how the Project Loon balloons worked. It's a proven concept.

Not guaranteed at all? The ceiling of an F-16 is lower. It's really not guaranteed that that would've worked. These missiles have limited range, and gaining altitude is costliest. It's entirely possible that a Sidewinder woul

Kind of crazy to see GCP only losing $480M in a quarter. I know that sounds ridiculous, but looks like it's on track to actually start posting a profit within a year? That's nice!
