That's an interesting point. I agree with the blog that McMansions are ugly but my neighborhood has multiple Queen Annes and I like those. In 100 years will people find McMansions charming?

Also, his paintings are so thick . Photos don't allow you to see how the paint was applied on top of other paint. Seeing them in person allowed me to understand that Van Gogh attacked his canvas.

It would be interesting to know how many companies with these warning signs were legit. Is it possible that investors look at these as lottery tickets and hope that just a few hit?

Yeah, no, this is not unbiased. First, it does not note that numerous investigations by the government, including under Trump, concluded that Clinton did nothing worth charging. Second, some of the anti Clinton evidence is based on unnamed

According to reports there is audio of Trump showing classified documents to someone while acknowledging that they shouldn't see them AND admitting that he should have declassified them while president.

How he acquired the documents has no bearing on the indictments. He is being charged with obstructing justice while refusing to return them.

My guess is that the increase in tariffs had little, if anything, to do with it; the article doesn't mention it but does cite CHIPS and the IRA. If anything the tariffs were one of the causes of our recent spike of inflation. My own o

To anyone just passing through the comments, the Wiki article on Butler is a worthy read. He was an interesting person.

Maybe it should be open source but read-only. The only opposition to a government filing system that I think makes any sense is that we shouldn't necessarily trust the government to get the taxes right*. Making the tax software open

Wikipedia says the assassins packed the bullets themselves to make it harder to trace (the bullets?) back to them. It is assumed that they did it poorly and the bullets didn't have enough force to penetrate the skull.

Very nice! Could you perhaps add a third data point, which is total number of comments on HN? That would help indicate how much of the variability is due to overall traffic.

I've tried to push my employer(s) to offer the dual paths. Like you I prefer the HW-style process (and think they are a truer judgement) but I understand why some don't like it. I wish more companies would support either path.

I am cautiously pro-id but I disagree with you. The ACLU opposes voter IDs because they have been used to restrict access: https://www.aclu.org/fact-sheet/oppose-voter-id-legislation-...

Tangential to the main topic: I live in Boston which has a reputation for having lousy public schools. Is there any major city (for whatever definition of major you want) that is considered to have a good public school system? If so, what

Hard disagree but with the acknowledgement that it's entirely subjective. I agree that JBJ doesn't have Jordan's competitiveness (or even Bryant's) but he's a smarter player. The proof to me is that at age 38 (!) h

It seems crazy that no one knows if it was on purpose and who did it. Everything nowadays is logged in minute detail in git that it would take little time to figure it out. I'm also surprised that the code hasn't been saved som

Is there any chance that we're dealing with a form of confirmation bias? In an economy as large as the US's there will always be companies laying off workers. Current unemployment is low so I'm not sure if there's any

The BBC's In Our Time discussed Gatsby last year. The guests had a great comment: at the time the story in Gatsby was considered trashy and not worthy of a great novel. It would be as if a great modern author wrote a novel about the
