I still have it because of inertia. I don't even add stuff to it anymore, I just haven't bothered to go through it and make sure everything's copied somewhere else easily-accessible, yet. I suspect that's the case for a

You shouldn't use Brew to obtain dependencies. This is how you end up with people complaining about a brew upgrade replacing the version of Postgres their project depends on. You probably shouldn't be using dpkg or rpm for that, e

A key clue about some of their reasons for doing it is that they still make you go through it even if you're, say, applying at Google, passed theirs 8 years ago, passed Facebook's 5 years ago, and passed Netflix's 2 years

How are people to know this? Stickers on them, sure, but anyone can attach a sticker saying anything on whatever they like, so how legitimate is that? Can I just toss all kinds of shit on the sidewalk if I attach a sticker first saying that

I don't get why these aren't free-for-all. You abandon property on the sidewalk, seems like littering to me at best (something worse if you're doing it as part of some coordinated effort or plan). In most jurisdictions, you l

In broad swaths of the midwest, the outside isn't especially attractive, if it's not outright ugly. Minimal elevation change anywhere in sight, little visible rock outside road cuts, very few—and all unimpressive—waterfalls, slow,

The easy-to-get is also important. Plenty of people who absolutely are citizens, born in this country, lack things like birth certificates or social security cards, and getting one can be a huge pain, sometimes requiring significant travel

It can both be true that a particular single-parent household is very successful, and that if you study an entire population and control other variables, single-parent households are less successful than two-parent households.

It doesn't create a poor educational culture on its own, but excessive incarceration leads to more single-parent (even zero-parent, in a sense—think: living with aunts/uncles, grandparents, et c.) families, worse job opportunities

The Republicans aren't interested in ensuring IDs are easy & free to get as part of their voter ID bills, because it defeats the purpose of why they're so enthusiastic for this to begin with. Democrats don't trust anythin

Absolutely—my point is that these schools aren't behind the "good" ones, funding-wise, and even pay better . Past a certain not-that-high point, giving schools more money doesn't help them much. There's probably so

In my city, the worst schools tend to pay a good 20% better than the best ones, for teachers. They get lots of federal and state aid. People still usually prefer not to work at them, if they have options, because the work environment is t
