Don't google "number of ants on Earth", then....

Likewise, immigration to work in the US is "is not always easy and takes time." There's no difference; if you disallow immigration to other countries at all "because it's not easy", then there's no point i

There are also fish that can walk overland to find new ponds. Weird, but real, with obvious implications for the origin of land tetrapods.

You're missing the key distinction here: not only are the seeds selected by a political body, but the active weeding of previously planted seeds is now inherently political. Both are bad, but one allows some diversity; the other produc

At my employee-owned company, yes.

Counterpoint: Name a great victory where top leadership mattered very little. Or, for that matter, a massive upset where top leadership did not truly contribute significantly. The "fog of war", AFAIK, tends to refer to general bre

As someone else noted, this software is from that remote, tiny portion of the world that is not subject to US law.

Whataboutism.

You ignored the "[SIC]" notation in order to pretend you are correcting the person you responded to. You're "Well, ackshually..."ing, without even adding a correction. Yay.

An interview is a date between a company and a new employee. If either one of them acts inappropriately, or gives off strong "bad chemistry", the other party learns it is a red flag. Sometimes these red flags are ignored because o

You really can't mention MSGS without giving due mention to DOOM, which owes its existence to the popularity of Zork. And you can't mention that without D&D, but you have to preface every mention of D&D with historical war

Long ago in the previous century, it was D&D that provided this scenario. DMs would offer us scenarios where "killing all the orcs" was detailed into "including the women and children in the cave", just to see how we

Squeezing out the expected amount of money, making it even more exhausting. Guessing what your yearly house-owning costs will be, and what the market will be when you sell, is in the realm of crystal ball scrying. Sure, you might be able

For most cities, "get used to the streets" means "use GPS". They could be earning money the same day they sign up. That puts the barrier to entry on the same level as grocery store workers. Granted, those too can success

Indeed. My worst Uber experience is still better than 90% of the taxi rides I've had.

You are stunningly more optimistic than I.

A star-chart that is part of the scene furniture in the popular movie "Project Hail Mary".

The movie makes it clear that it is both an unknown, and unexpected, xenon-based material. Plus, the scientist analyzing it has (presumably) no real background in materials science. IOW: it's intended to seem odd.

"Mall": a physical aggregation of independent stores in a single location, usually renting space from a single landowner. "Moll": a mobster's girlfriend. Your paragraph becomes quite amusing if one assumes you didn&

This is essentially saying "There's no hope; no one will ever return to downtown, no matter what!"... in a thread trying to find ways to prove that wrong.

So what is your solution that is impervious to a permanent or lengthy and gigantic downturn in the economy?

Your suggested alternative generates a need for massive accounting by the banks, tracking each loan's aggregate monthly rental income. A simpler rule that mostly covers today's problems, and adds very little overhead after the l

Pensions are not investment funds (for the individual employee/retiree). They are distinct from 401ks and their ilk. GP explicitly spoke about "pensions", which have almost no requirement to diversify - at least one I know of

People will argue. ESPECIALLY on HN. I've yet to see a discussion that doesn't have a major subthread on an apparently unrelated subject. This is the Internet's vacation spot for "Well, ackshually" interjections. Pe

Not a very revelatory deduction.

Your ad hominem insult is not helpful.

Strongly disagree. The existence of such a collection is a loaded gun for police abuse. It doesn't even require mission creep; simply sifting through the ream of data under an actual warrant "coincidentally" looking for a dif

Or ever. Even "freedom of speech" is a fairly understandable, and more basic, right, and it is definitely a non-starter internationally.

If "worse" means "far less frequently", yes. It required salary hours devoted to watching a single traffic light, or running a particular speed trap. A city parking lot near me just switched to license-plate readers, and
