How do you suppose that would work? The only predictions possible are things which are virtually impossible to influence, like atmospheric events?

It's quite impressive to quote the guidelines to someone when your first post breaks a whole bunch of them.

If it loads pages, then it clearly works. Nobody claims it's a practical, competitive browser.

The top 20% consumers consume a large majority of the alcohol, which means there are many Germans who consume reasonable amounts.

They don't criticize it, but believe UBI will "almost pay for itself" by not requiring aa much overhead. Which it won't, not even remotely close.

It's entirely possible there's no longer any single person in charge in practice, but rather a bunch of more or less individually operating cells - each with their own leader.

Did we though, or did we make a calculated decision that in a place with limited resources it'd be better for us to eliminate the competition?

There's no problem getting a refund for apps in my experience, I've done it a handful of times when I've changed my mind and it was easy and fully automated.

I suspect it's not quite that simple. First, is there actually enough demand for ad-free TVs to make the option worth including? I personally probably wouldn't pay $20 to avoid ads in the home screen since those kind of ads are ju

I believe you may be conflating opinion with fact, unless you add some qualifier like "based on potential throughput" or some such.

If I buy something for $10 and it's worth $10,000 when you inherit it, you should (obviously?) be taxed on the increase in value from $10 -> $10,000 if/when you sell. The purchase price shouldn't be "reset" to $1

But then you have X money tied up in some presumably illiquid art with questionable value. Seems better to just invest the X money from the start.

You hardly have to be rich to spend $300 a month on fashion, you just have to be not poor, and have it as a priority. Just because fashion isn't a priority to you doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. The same people tha

America also just have way fewer refugees. Seems like it's around 60k a year, so less than 0.02% of the population per year. Sweden, for example, has had around 26k refugees per year (the last 10 years), which is around 0.2% of its pop

I kinda doubt your output decreased by 20%. Probably fairly close to it, but I'm guessing you got slightly more done on the other days.

It's the same as working from home. Some people are way more productive at home, away from all the distractions in the office. Others barely get any work done at all at home. Most people are nowhere close to working fully focused 8 hou

Tax havens is a race-to-the-bottom thing, just like not caring about emissions. Or using slaves, if you want a more extreme example. If your country's only advantage is to steal tax money from other countries, or provide cheap energy b

I don't understand your point. Yes, there's a lot of unskilled jobs, possibly a majority of jobs. Far from everyone looks down on unskilled jobs, and nobody is saying they're not important.

Which is a perfectly fine counter-argument if you are, in fact, not going it right. If you say you're doing continuous deployment because you deploy every Tuesday evening, it's perfectly fair to point out that that's not cont

Not how deductions work. Say 20% corporate tax, a 100% deduction (which is the normal business expense) means you don't pay any tax. A 135% deduction means you'd get to expense 35% more, avoiding those 20% for a "total saving

That's not a problem with Scrum, it's a problem with your team. If you're doing a bug bash every sprint, then your velocity is already including the time spent on bug bashes. If it's not in every sprint, you can reduce t

I'd wager the majority of software developers do not code at all outside of work hours, and the vast majority do not code more than an hour or two per month on average. The "constantly coding on side projects" developer is pr

I suspect it's most content and not just some. I may prefer to watch a specific movie, like Heat (1995), but if it's not available on the streaming services I currently pay for I'm more likely to watch something else rather t

For larger companies, there's a lot of "hidden" functions that you're probably not aware of as a customer. Just payment integrations in 100+ countries, with all the local regulations and reporting requirements is probabl

I wouldn't be surprised if Spotify moves a petabyte of images a day, I can't even guess the amount of data from their songs and videos. But obviously just moving data isn't what requires a lot of employees.

Have you ever worked at a company with more than say 1k employees that's active in more than one region? I'm honestly intrigued in your opinion, it sounds similar to what I thought back in uni before I had any work experience, but

Obviously you don't need all those people. Almost no company apart from like one-man companies or dying companies employ only the people they need. You employ as many people as possible that generate additional profit, short or long-

Lmao, I love this comment so much because of how incredibly uninformed it is. 5-6 backend engineers to run Spotify in 185 countries... I've seen a lot of ridiculous comments when it comes to company sizes, but yours is probably the bes
