Shouldn't a suitcase's worth of products be valuable enough to do something? I could somewhat understand ignoring say, if a person stole a single item under $10. There's not enough resources to go after truly petty theft. I&#

There is no free lunch. Your hypothesis is fed-driven policy will continue to be effective (the easy money gravy train). It's likely a better thesis, but after a decade of great returns, people are under the illusion that the Fed has a

Not to detract from the broader point, which I completely agree with, but the gym example didn't strike me as a Valley-specific phenomenon. I could imagine something similar happening at a gym in a working class neighborhood, and I cou

There is software out there for optimizing resumes to ATS. It basically is keyword matching. One tool will allow you to paste the Job Description and your Resume. You can give it a URL, and they'll detect ATS type, and give you further

Because it's missing the forest for the trees. Look at total energy usage, across all industries. This is more an indictment of cryptocurrency than it is about actually caring about the environment. Compare it to say, eliminating all g

It's not about power. Well, not electrical power. It's about control over our currency. The argument is a trojan horse for an effective ban on the entire category of currencies not controlled by central authorities. Without Proof

You're not missing anything. What these people miss is any potential unseating of Jira. The executives want it, project management wants it, engineers be damned. Had to convince my team to stop using Github Issues so Directors had more

Gitlab may not be the best example of potential pushback because the userbase is largely technologists. With this particular group, deprecating IE11 support is "preaching to the choir".

$350k household income, after making 401k's and federal/state taxes, is $217k. That's $18k/month. A $2m home at current rates is about $9k mortgage payment. Leaves another $9k for food, utilities, transportation. If eith

It's a tradeoff between the equal protection clause (FGM is banned, so there is an argument there) and religious freedom. The former should hold more weight as religious freedom doesn't extend to imposing religious beliefs onto ot

In some ways, it still isn't great. You can't create font rules in CSS in shadow DOM; they are ignored. WC + Shadow DOM are great for using 'new' components in, say, a legacy web application that has leaky style rules (e

Airbnb employs dark patterns for their booking process. The daily rate isn't the all-in cost for a booking. You have to open the detail page to get cleaning fees, etc that add up to 30% of the cost. It'd be challenging to get big,

As the "webpack" guy on my team, these numbers look extremely compelling, but I also know Webpack does a lot for us (e.g., through Webpack v4, it includes browserfied node libs as needed). Beyond node libs, there's a long tai

If XPath's are the sticking point here, just use a data attribute, e.g., data-test, on elements you want to target in e2e tests. Requires coordination between your engineering and testing orgs, but it's possible.

What does a billing issue look like? Is it something trivial, like they charged you for $X+X, but you only used $X (e.g., they double billed you -- should be solvable with a phone call)? Or more complex, e.g, they charged for more egress th

If property values go up 5x, shouldn't the mill rate go down 5x, leaving property taxes the same? It's not like these towns have 5x more libraries, 5x more police officers, 5x more roads, etc. The level and number of services in t
