I'm really amazed you would trust this food to this degree. Really, every single meal?

You put cashless toll points above the roads. Cameras capture the license plates for those without toll passes. They can go online and pay within a few days or get fined. Not a new concept.

That's not an unintended consequence. Why do you think poor people need to drive into Manhattan?

It's true. ER doctor which is just a small step above GP can earn 500k plus in Wyoming or similar. These communities should be allowed to import physicians from other countries and pay them 150k instead. This is sheer lunacy. If those

The intellectual level of understanding the concepts behind all of this is basically a generation behind the rest of the oecd in America due to lack of experience and lack of curiosity about other countries. This goes both ways. Many people

Relax. Why do you expect a bunch of escalator mechanics to be on standby, readily available for a once in a generation escalator repair project? That's not how things work.

Don't think that's it. Even Brisbane (Queensland) electrified its suburban rail in the late 1970s.

Insane we are talking about electrifying a train line in 2019 in the tech capital of America.

Doesn't matter what people are asking. Ok I just listed my one bedroom apt in Duluth for $55 million. Is the Duluth housing market now crazy?

If you owned a house in SF free and clear and capped property taxes would you sell?

Try east coast US to APAC just to make a personnel change and fly back (24-48hr turnaround). It's an American thing mostly. It's absurd. I think a lot of people at those levels just want to avoid their families. And the businesses

Airbnbs are incredibly overpriced for what you get. They remind me of food trucks. Everything leads you to expect lower prices than a brick and mortar restaurant yet the prices are similar due to the small scale.

I read the whole article and until I read your comment, still thought it was a missing letter of the alphabet in the address of the postal letter that never got to him. Lol

C'mon Americans. Midday means noon. It doesn't mean middle of the afternoon.

Amazing when you consider the confidence espoused in the tone of the original post and the dismissiveness of a major safety matter. And it's still the top comment here two days later. This is on HN, what hope do the commons have?

I've been wondering about this and was about to make an HN thread asking about it as I couldn't find anything online. I'm no longer able to bypass the paywall via Incognito Mode. It appears to be IP-based and perhaps even gue

I think anyone with a corporate career and ambition is working hard these days. The difference with Americans is that so many in the workplace are just overly jittery disorganised idiots and it creates a cascading effect onto the culture.

Texas is the same or worse. Much of the postWW2 US is the same actually.

Isn't metalworking pretty lucrative? I think generally you can setup a shop and make a good living.

Haha we have the same thing. Guy is so fit, has a great haircut, and an Apple Watch. He seems like the most content man in the world. This is in Australia where tradespeople often do quite well so it's not uncommon.

So the Roman Empire collapsed. Big deal. All the land is still there. Italy is there and still gorgeous and largely functional. Rome is there and still a great place. The British Empire basically collapsed. The Pound has retained its value

Well so far it's been good for HK owners because it allows mainland Chinese to stash their capital in HK.

I'm an immigration lawyer and completely opposed to employer sponsored temporary visas. Either let someone in independently or don't let them in at all. The power it gives the employer is ridiculous.

Naturally? Is it a law of physics? Where did this idea of recessions being required come from? Business cycle is a reflection of human psychology. It's possible for that to change.

Have you ever lived in or spent extended time in a different climate? I've had many of the same problems and two surgeries. Things were definitely worse in the humid polluted swamp I used to live in...

It's just Americans being really had at organisation, training, planning especially in government. They also hate government so underfund it so they hire bottom barrell people to be agents.
