In the long term everyone is dead. If the term is long enough to drive competitors out, corner the market, make tons of money for stakeholders, that's good enough. It's kinda the opposite of "the market can remain irrational

YMMV. My dentist in India fucked up two of my teeth and my dentist in the US fixed them. Both do overtreatment but at least the latter is competent.

You do not have to codify this at all. Your need for control over my garbage bins is why I refuse to live somewhere with a HoA.

It does not look like the sun. For one the center is dark. Literally the opposite of what the sun signifies. Never seen sunrays resembling screwdrivers and half going one way and half the other either. And that is the moon? Even after knowi

It's not about preservation necessarily - I mean these institutions used to be all white Christian male and we obviously dont want that. But yes, the capping is of value, and in fact even a hedge against the ranking slipping. I guess e

In that case you should not be too hung up about him getting admission into a "lesser" (according to you) school. But here you are. Oh absolutely I am projecting my thoughts. I was lucky but I know many Indians who have been pushe

Privileged compared to most around him? I'm not comparing OP to the Kennedys but just because he came to the US with a few hundred bucks and worked hard does not mean he is not privileged. The generational poverty thing is a disingenou

It is not xenophobic to be anti Chinese government. You should know that Xi's government has a recent history of increasing repression and paranoia. It is not that the people are "at risk" of rebelling, it is that the governm

> We're far from privileged. Indian-American father here as well. You came to the US from India. You are probably upper caste. You almost certainly got a good quality education in India for cheap. Your parents probably had servants.

The Chinese government does not care about its people catching covid. It is not about covid but about clamping down. It's a training exercise for what to do during rebellion.

This is 100% accurate in my experience. It is good to know that others have also experienced this. At least the more old-fashioned women are honest about their needs. The feminist type pretends to like sensitive men but is disgusted when th

I think Imagemagick and maybe git are where I require a web search most often, along with hope that someone has had the same need before.

It's Karl Popper's tolerance paradox. > The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as th

In case you're using paypal, it seems paypal takes 9% of that $5, see their costs spreadsheet posted elsewhere here. If you can, try donating bigger amounts less frequently. The fee goes down to 3% at ~$60.

There is nothing modern about what you say; there is no internal logical consistency in any religion which is why you have the fanatically orthodox and the ultra liberal coexist in every religion - each one sure of their moral superiority,

Wrong, the paper says they compared exit scores for universities which have common exams, but different (public vs private) colleges.
