This is temporary. The fracking operations are in the process of going belly up, but pumping like mad in the meantime.

Physical USD cash. There's going to be a lot of deflation as huge defaults, including national defaults, sweep the land. I don't think you understand the dynamics. Oil will stay down and much less will be pumped. Without cheap ab

It probably won't ever go back to $120. What we're seeing is the dynamics of energy deflation. The world economy simply cannot function with the price of oil much above $75. When it crosses that threshold the economy slows and spu

It's retail. Margins are thin. Walmart is notoriously cheap. Don't work in low margin, hyper-competitive businesses, is the long and short of it.

I think it's still superior for equipping tools with a REPL. Say you're making something that has smart users who won't freak out about typing commands and editing a complicated config file to achieve advanced results, then i

The flip side of this is people tend to get weird and ornery without a proper community enforcing standards of behavior. It's pretty common to not even realize how unacceptably eccentric you're getting. Bear in mind that Nietzsche

If tending the stove is a problem why wouldn't you just buy a digital electric pressure cooker in the first place? They're great.

I disagree that the qualities one wants in a long term relationship are not obvious with quite short interaction. It's not mere superficiality. You can suss out a person's character very quickly. Instincts are usually right.

You're being cryptic and I don't understand. I'll assume you're ugly and dress poorly.

The bombs probably had no affect. The Japanese leadership surrendered because of the USSR invasion. The Soviets were clearly going to sweep down the islands and there was no hope to hold out.

Living OK on $2K per month in much of America does not strike me as very hard. It wouldn't be fun, but pulling it off sure wouldn't be complicated.

Yes, if you're low income there's the earned income tax credit and you get medicaid/chip/snap/ebt and section 8 and a whole bunch of other stuff. It all adds up to a substantial chunk of change. Unlike in some other

Generally speaking the adults doing that stuff are making use of several welfare benefits. A single woman with two kids flipping burgers is often living a lifestyle that would require an unsupplemented income of $50K.

Has there been any sort of serious audit or quality review of the 23andMe service? I'm dimly curious but would at present guess it's mostly a load of nonsense, and who even knows how replicable their results are.

Whenever this retirement finance stuff comes up people mostly just extrapolate USA markets from 1982 forward, or maybe at best something like 1919 USA markets. I don't think history is so linear for this to be useful.

You also bump into the question of whether you really want maintenance crews and pilots to be as cheap as economically possible. Or maybe these roles deserve some prestige and protection to ensure greater professionalism.

TCL is probably the only major scripting language that has rock solid thread and concurrency (events, too) support. As a matter of opinion, the embedding api is cleaner than most alternatives.

It's definitely an appropriate use of std::move. When the local object destructs std::move has already ripped its guts out and put them in the object up the stack. The local object is just an empty shell at destruction.

I love the pocket integration. The built-in functionality definitely works much better than the plugin, which was weirdly slow sometimes and had some glitches. Pocket has changed how I use the web. With a single click I send any substantive
