For such an expensive and important purchase, only a small fraction of people would care about this label. There are too many other factors at play (Can this car fit my whole family? Is this car safe, affordable, reliable? etc)

"long term", EVs are going to be significantly lighter than modern gas cars because the batteries will continue to shrink. An electric drivetrain is much lighter than an ICE drivetrain.

Foreign countries hold less than a quarter of US debt. We are a long way from being in some weak negotiating position.

Don't we go through this like once a year? Everyone freaks out about hitting the debt ceiling and the economy imploding, and then congress just raises the ceiling.

There is a code object called "C Runtime" (crt0.o)[1]. This was a good name at the time. Its a bit of code that gets executed literally "at runtime". When you run a program, this object gets invoked to setup the stack an

The term "runtime" is overloaded here. The C runtime is not what people usually mean when they say a language has a runtime. There is a crt.0 "C Runtime" object. This is code that is literally run "at runtime".

There wasn't a law mandating the use of the old micro-B port. The EU issued a memorandum asking companies nicely to use micro-B, but obviously it wasn't enforced (Apple never complied). This situation is different. Apple and othe

Meh, the only reason EVs are more efficient in the city is because of regen braking. An ICE car traveling at a constant 30mph is going to get much better fuel economy than an ICE car traveling at a constant 75mph. The difference is that &lt

If the company has high margins and low expenses, then their profits are already taxed. Its not like hiring one SWE makes your tax bill go to zero.

Do you have a source for this? The law seems pretty clear to me: > ANY amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of ANY software shall be treated as a research or experimental expenditure. https://www.law.corn

What jurisdiction doesn't count employee salaries as an expense? Salaries are already taxed as individual income. Taxing them as corporate profits and individual income is not closing a loophole, its double-taxing.

You should never assume legal terms mean what they colloquially mean. Just like how "work" in physics has a precise definition which doesn't mean what it colloquially means, or "tree" in computer science. In this ca

What other bad things does this prevent from happening? I can't think of anything, unless you think double-taxing income is good.

This makes assumptions about what the performance requirements are. In latency sensitive code, _all_ code needs to be optimized. It doesn't matter if your slow function is only called once - it adds N microseconds of latency when it do

I believe you missed my point. Why does your company, who is making the WFH / no WFH decision, care at all about subsidizing the office space industry? It makes no sense.

by dahfizz 3y ago
Do you work for a landlord? Otherwise, the incentives here are the opposite. If landlords are defaulting, its because companies are getting rid of their office space. They are doing so because its expensive to rent office space; WFH is chea

You're being uncharitable. In response to a comment saying that all 12 year olds should be banned from working: > This is child labour. It's indefensible. People are pointing out that working at that age can be safe and benefic

OP literally said: > The issue is when this starts being less of a learning experience and more of an actual full time job. Sending 12 year olds out to earn a living clearly isn’t right. You are straw manning. Nobody here wants kids work

I'm going to guess you grew up in a city? I wouldn't have a problem with a kid of mine "working in fields", provided the hours are reasonable. Picking strawberries, outside, with friends their same age, a few hours at a

At a minimum, a photography contest should only allow photos - the output of a physical camera. There is a big distance between filters which tweak an existing image and generating an image from nothing.

The violent crime rate hasn't changed much. The total number of incidents[1] and population[2] have both decreased around 10% since 2019. Do you have evidence to the contrary? You can't just claim everything is fine and discard al

> but objectively SF is actually just average or less. Did you look at your own source? SF is 37 out of 100 for violent crime. That's comfortably above average, not "average or less"
264.
by dahfizz 3y ago
SF still has above average violent crime[1]. Its top 7 in terms of overall crime, so being "just" above average for violent crime seems not so bad in comparison. But the objective reality is that BOTH property crime and violent cr

In any other city in America: if you got high on meth in your own apartment, went outside and starting screaming, pooping, and acting belligerent, you would be arrested. The problem is the antisocial behavior, homeless or not.

This is a well documented phenomenon. Poor people have more kids than rich people.

I think its largely an issue of what you care about / what bothers you. SF has very high property and overall crime rates. This is objective fact. It has the 4th highest property crime rate in the country, and the 7th highest overall c
