I think the test cases would hinge upon the difference between a specific individual not having an expectation of privacy in public, versus the public in general. It's always been possible to follow an individual around and keep him un

Exactly right. Keep electing the same people, same party, who always campaign on issues that they never actually solve, while they solidify and expand their power.

You think a government payment system is going to be less complex? Won't demand correct documentation? Have you ever dealt with a government records system? Billing codes are already standardized.

Indeed. I think I am going to start downvoting posts that quote by (or otherwise use) indention. It's unreadable on mobile. Why is this so hard to fix?

If a bonus is guaranteed, how is it a bonus? Just because it's a big year-end extra payment?

Did you ever need to provide a resume/CV? If so were you honest about your education? Did you just omit it?

> possibility of a nuclear war in any given year is ~1-2% If it were that high, we'd likely have had one by now. I think it's an order of magnitude lower than that.

Honestly this is a drop in the bucket compared to what normal automobile traffic produces. Not that war shouldn't be avoided, but carbon emissions are the last of the reasons we'd want to worry about.

From what I've seen, most people keep their houses far cooler than necessary in the summer. I keep my house at about 80 degrees in the summer. AC basically keeps the humidity under control. I don't understand keeping the house a

Raising kids to think about things on the basis of opinion and emotion makes it easier to get their votes when they are adults.

Yes, I recall that very basic sets topics (e.g. unions and intersections),might have been introduced in 3rd or 4th grade? Definitely was in there somewhere before middle school.

My high school don't go beyond Calculus 1 (edit to add: this was two semesters and covered differentiation and integration). That was years ago (pre-internet) and if a student wanted to take other college-level math they were released

I remember that, and hated it. Why? Because I had real trouble memorizing sums and products. I still have to stop and think to do simple sums in my head. I sometimes still count on my fingers when I add two numbers. And these types of probl

I agree. I hated math up until 8th grade. My 7th grade math teacher suggested I take algebra, which was the "advanced" option for 8th grade math. I have no idea why, because my math grades were very average, but he must have see

At most organizations, whether public sector or private, you only get significant raises on your initial hire and if you change positions/job titles. It's hard to get a big raise without taking on more or higher-level responsibili

SQL fixes in production don't have to be that risky. Just run a SELECT first with the same predicates and be sure that's what you want. In some cases this can be better than trying to develop a fix using a test system which may no

"Tastes like a real Whopper" is a backhanded complement if I ever heard one. One of the worst burgers you can buy.

It will all be spent, nothing will improve, and a few people will get rich. Guaranteed.

It does evolve, one that always catches my eye is the singular "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun. It was drummed into me in school that this was incorrect, and I always notice it. That said, I do sometimes catch myself using it,

Finland is also a small, essentially monoculture country. What works there might be impractical or impossible elsewhere.

There's a better balance though. In college you're not sitting in class from 8:00 to 3:00 every day. Half that would be a pretty busy day for actual classes. Or you load up on Mon-Wed-Fri and have no classes Tues-Thu.

Small consultancy or web dev business. Your risk is the cost of a laptop and your time.

It's both. There's lots of great stuff on YouTube and there's lots of crap on YouTube. I think the same was true with record stores, bookstores, and libraries in the physical world.

I'm in the US. The after hours fee is definitely a thing at my kid's pediatrician practice. It ends up being something we pay out of pocket. And yes we have insurance and the docs are in network.

Many of the clinics here that are open late do charge an "after hours" fee. It's about $20 tacked on to the base office visit fee. "Urgent care" walk-in clinics don't and are typically open 8-8 or so.

Pretty funny that here we are asking for businesses to work extra hours for our convenience, while at the same time bemoaning excessive hours and demanding workloads in our own industry.

The local business probably isn't selling counterfeit goods.

Agreed, all of that matters. Also, another big difference from Uber is that the vast majority of adults can drive, so their pool of potential drivers is large. Barbering is a niche skill and in many areas is regulated. I can't just do
