My understanding is a bit of inflation would actually be a good thing for the US at this point. A weaker dollar means exports are more competitive and imports are less desirable which would boost American exports. It's also a huge boon

Hmm... I'm usually a pretty graceful faller myself generally. Maybe it was just the last time I fell that really hurt. I was carrying a 24 pack of beer to a friends and tried to jump over a slick space and fell and slammed my hip into

I’m not particularly worried about a group of kids contaminating a single rural water supply, I’m more worried about coordinated effort by a malicious nation state to accumulate security cracks and then use them in a coordinated effort duri

If you’re near the Eataly in the Financial District I had no problem finding some at Jubilee’s on John St a bit East from there after reading the original article. I haven’t tried the Bucatini yet but I did enjoy the Brooklyn made bronze ex

I see the disclosures here fairly frequently and rather appreciate the forthrightness because they’re reminders of the ethos here and they also give a perspective and context to the rest of the comment. Sorry for the meta thread, also inter

Have you fallen on the concrete or ice lately? I can tell you, it really really sucks. There's been a lot of snow lately, I think you don't necessarily have to be living a life of fear to not want to slip on the ice. For the recor

You can look outside in winter and know that if it is raining the air temperature is above freezing without a temperature scale. It’s pretty apparent by the fact that the water is not freezing. And how often does knowing that your pot of bo

80k a year’s a pretty good salary almost anywhere. There’s plenty in NYC who live on less. GP wasn’t saying everyone in Idaho is a crack head or heroin junkie due to the unfulfilled nature of their work, they were saying there’s too many jo

Farenheit’s the only part of the imperial system that makes sense given we primarily use it to convey how temperatures between humans. 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot, 1/3 of the way from really cold to really hot is when water sta

"Ethical/lawful or not I don't care" -me_me_me Parody? I'm not sure. Seems like an attitude I'm relatively happy isn't super common in society. If I make a book, I don't "owe you an effort"

With deep fake technology you could presumably do one take in the main actors primary languages, then just hire voice crews per language maybe? The deep fake could adjust the actors to make the body match the audio where appropriate. Maybe

It’s hard to understand what happens here. Obviously, if market manipulation is bad, then banding together to act en masse and drive stock prices to unreal levels is bad. But, what do you do? Ban the internet? Ban retail traders from access

Person A has burger. Person B borrows A’s burger and sells it to Person C. Person D borrows Person C’s burger and sells it to Person E. Still seems to work? Then, tomorrow Person B and Person D owe burgers to Person A and Person C. If there

Wouldn’t sharding generally result in overlap between the key ranges so that a database shard going down doesn’t have to result in any downtime? Then your issue is replication of writes I suppose. Probably depends on use case what configura

I'll assume you're referring to obtaining drugs which many consider to be something that at the very least should not be punished by prison time (myself included), as opposed to say... the distribution of child pornography, orderi

I also am not sure how you're supposed to tax something like stock. If Bezos sold all of his stock in Amazon, well, for one he'd certainly be worth a lot less fairly rapidly as the stock collapsed based on his massive sale of it.

I once described the caste system as “racism invented by people who look alike” and my girlfriend from Madya Pradesh (Central Indian Province) thought that was very apt. Humans are great, until you let them form groups, once that happens yo

Well, yea, certainly they let some of them grow up to become beef products instead of veal products. But a lot of them just become veal since they have their quantity of steer head already. And the females are grown up and impregnated and m

It's crazy to me when I can't type in JIRA... or when I drag a ticket to a new column, and it just doesn't go, and I reload and it's still in the old column. Or when I try to click a ticket and it just doesn't open.

It was only recently I put two and two together and realized farmers kill all the male calfs which result from impregnating cows so they can start being milked. On the other hand... veal is delicious. But it does feel a bit bad. At this poi

I have the same experience but am fairly certain the story sounds accurate. I use to go to a fair amount of underground parties after last calls when I was younger, and there are definitely people out there. I’d bet places like Bushwick are

I suppose you could be charitable to gp and think they were making the reverse racist good genes argument for Black people? At least it’d be a new twist on an old racist trope.

I totally agree. The amount of times I’ve been able to craft a more insightful question about someone’s culture or work because of something I’d read prior has almost certainly got to be up there. And the amount of the times I’ve been able

Is that statistic of 8 miles for the US or worldwide? I'd have to imagine countries with large populations of very poor residents would have a much different stat for that compared to the United States.

I think Anki’s official app has those features? It was about 20 bucks on iPhone and free on OS X I believe, not sure about other platforms. The thing that would always get me would be that I would make a card on the phone and forget to manu

I’ve used Anki prior and always wished there was an easy way to inject a bit of randomness into it. For instance, you could have the idea of a “template” such as <Pronoun> <Tense of to go> <Place> and <Same Tense of to

My guess would be an inability on the part of those who wanted inconsistent signatures to be a valid reason for throwing out a ballot to show evidence that such a move would prevent widespread fraud, and a significant amount of data on the

That sounds like certain rural areas. I think GP was trying to talk about small town to small city America and their suburbs of which there are some reasonable middle class lifestyles going on. In regards to your second paragraph, power in
