Since it's from a group with a known idealogical basis, it's not going to be an open minded discussion. But the next question is why wouldn't they like recycling? They seem to make a lot of manufactured chemical and plastic p

I had to look it up, paraphrasing from the article below, z is the cosmological redshift, indicating the recession velocity of the object. So smaller z values mean closer, large values mean higher, and the farther away it is the faster it

Back in the 90s through early 00's when I worked at Microsoft, they had a strict no moonlighting policy. I think they ended it because this was given as a reason no one was writing any mobile phone software for windows phone.

Well I was thinking of the ones that mattered. Gates is still alive of course. Mickeysoft was really founded in New Mexico but moved to Seattle because they were both from here.

The s has a lip around the door so rainfall doesn't go into the trunk. It seems stupid they dropped that on the 3.

Yes, that loophole still exists.

Tax income instead of wealth so much, then you don't need such high property taxes.

Sure they would. The microsoft founders (as in Bill Gates and Paul Allen) gave significant funding and public support towards the capital gains tax initiative here.

My dad lives in the Highland Park area of Dallas. He says people move there and pay their 20 or 30k a year in property taxes to go to a great school district as it's cheaper than a private school tuition. It sounds like the same thing.

Thanks for sharing that, very interesting, not what I would have expected. What do you attribute the better outcomes in Texas to? The state has some education challenges I'm aware of, but I do't know about their successes. Texas s

I think I missed something - my startup needs backend devs, not frontend.

The weekly standard is an 'interesting' source. Did you also notice the featured article, https://www.weeklystandard.com/holmes-lybrand/fact-check-was... .

He was irritating. I cringed on behalf of the people of that island. He also ignored another important thing, what will happen if the beetles kill off the coconut trees, that would be horrible for the people on the island.

They are very good bachelors. I don't think someone with 12 weeks in bootcamp can pass the interview bar. We ask about multithreaded programming in C++, a series of programming challenges, and about theory of computer science, softwar

Sounds like a nice improvement. It appears to be a web of trust scenario, where you trust anyone else who is verified. Eventually I'm sure some spammer will break through into the circle. I hope that if there is some spammer penetratio

130k plus is the typical salary with a college grad in a top company. We are a startup in Seattle, not a unicorn, you've probably not heard of us, and we pay 135k + options for new college hires. We are told our comp is too low by peop

It's not the size of an area or the number of people that indicate it's quality level as a tech high quality area either. The population of NYC is not the indicator of the number leading tech workers and companies there, of course

The reason you must pay the commission comes back to the cartel nature. If you won't pay the 3% to each side as the buyer, then many agents refuse to show the sellers the house. I don't think they ask the buyers, they just don&#x2

I am in the Seattle area, where the average home price is slightly above $800k. I'm fortunate to have a house that was a little above that average.

I just realized this is about the same situation as "financial advisors" that you pay a percentage of your assests to to "manage them" and that get hidden commissions when you buy things. They insist that they are doing

They usually don't add any value unless you are maybe a naive buyer. They goal is complete the sale at any cost, otherwise they get nothing, and that's a bad incentive. At this point there's no real basis for a percentage com

It's not that people don't do something worthwhile. It's more a question that is it worth paying 60,000 when selling your house? It's not. At $100 an hour, do you get 600 hours out of work of them? No. It's not abou

Sorry but that's just naive from an american perspective. In the US if you get seriously hurt without health insurance you might just die. Politically it's not conceivable that we'll have UBI or pay people for not working. It

This might be your view of the world, but most people don't work that way. Companies often have "target bonuses". If most people don't get their it, and there was no big problem justifying it, people will quit.

It doesn't mean you suck as a manger that you don't get what you want. You never get all of what you want. I can only imagine someone saying that has no experience as a manager, or has been lucky and not found themselves in diffic

That's improper behavior, to work to get your team hired somewhere else, doubly so for a manager, and potentially in violating of your no solicit clause. Quitting, telling your team why you are quitting, why you left, those are proper.

Certainly a large number of people with significant inherited wealth are useless. It is one of those things where there is ample anecdotal evidence and even presidential evidence. I know one people who denies this. My friend who inherited a

A lot of legislation that benefits large and somewhat conservative conglomerates is created by ALEC, one of the most evil and destructive groups in the US. If you want more middle men and want to reduce competition on companies like AT&

It might be good for you and me say, because we can order stuff easily and cheaply ship it to us, but the economy is hurt because a whole lot of local jobs were eliminated without many replacement jobs - there's an hourly amazon delive
