Yeah that's entirely permissible. My company can move me from engineering to toilet cleaning if they want. I would probably quit because I would think it's unreasonable, but I doubt I'd win any lawsuits. But I'd argue th

It seems like it is permissible. The question is whether it is right . In the US at least, employment is generally at-will, meaning they can fire you for basically any reason as long as it isn't discrimination of a protected class.

For many at UBS this is going to be an invitation to leave. UBS is in the business of asset management and investment banking; these are two areas where relationship building is very important and it's hard to do that over zoom. Sure,

Not sure I understand that graph. How is “voluntary” expenditure such a small piece of the bar for the US? My insurance premiums are outrageously high…

Here's a tip that pretty much every philanthropist out there knows, but would probably be helpful to the HN crowd. If you donate appreciated stock, you get a "double" tax break, since you don't pay capital gains tax and

According to the article, he has been "based" there. It doesn't seem like a vacation, so much as a place to isolate. Is it fair that Larry Page gets to go to Fiji to isolate while the rest of us are at home? No. But it's

Still a lot of unknowns, but seems pretty clear that vaccinated people are less likely to contract and spread. So I like my odds better among a vaccinated crowd.

Alternatively, I'd be much more comfortable going out if I knew everyone around me would be vaccinated.

Home depot has an 11% profit margin. It's not a Google (30% profit margin) or an Apple (26.7%) that prints money. So it cuts into 9% of profits, which is pretty significant.

To extend this analogy further, in Judaism, we ascribe more value to the opinions of rabbis "closer to the source". So we would look at the tax code from 1000 years ago and try to interpret that. But we might also say, "John

In Orthodox Judaism, the letter of the law typically is the spirit of the law. Not a perfect analogy, but think of the talmud as similar to the tax code. There are things that are black, things that are white and things that are gray. If
