This situation does not resemble the beginning of WW1. wW1 was caused more or less by an inept leader (the Herman Kaiser Wilhelm) with way too much power. Putin cannot play the part Wilhelm played in 1914 because Russia has very little powe

If the landlord does that the rent on the listing will be higher by $200, thus turning off potential renters. It is better for the landlord to lead with a smaller rent and tack on charges. Same business model for restaurants (rely on tips w

In C# a dependency graph that automatically updates only the affected dependencies can be implemented using events and/or functors and/or data binding. I do not understand what is the big deal with Increment. Is it more efficient

US did not occupy the country- they occupied the big cities and a built a huge airbase. Countryside was in Taliban hands for the most part. US never closed the border with Pakistani - and the talibans retreated in Paki when under attack and

Hmm, US did not destroy the Taliban in Afghanistan. So I do not think US won much in Afghanistan (for ex. bin Laden was killed in Pakistani)

Re: “Do you really think the US military was given orders to control the strait, snd couldn’t?” Pretty much. I think US military was given the order to make Trump look good, and they couldn’t (Trump looks weak now, which he completely hates

Hmmm, the US is not able to control the Hormuz strait. Iran decides who goes through it. Yesterday Iran shot at a vessel [0]. We can argue the semantics of “control” but I think this whole debacle showed the limits of US military power. [0]

Is there a short snd simple explanation for how these planetary slingshots work? To me the gravity that increases the vehicle speed on the way to the planet will decrease the speed on the way away. Thanks!

As proven so well during this whole debacle in the Hormuz strait.

A lot of people that work (and thus benefit) from these tech companies are from out of state. Local people have to put up with insane housing costs because of tech work. In Seattle at least some of the tech work is receding already because

Starbucks HQ moving to Tennessee is not caused by WA state millionaire tax - Burito Boy was hired on August 2024 well before the millionaire tax was even envisioned. Part of his compensation is predicated on these costs savings - and these

I actually think billionaire flight is a good thing. Billionaires do not contribute to their community. Sure some tax accountant and some security people will lose their jobs, but this not matter for regular folk. If nothing else, billionai

My point is even 8 figures net worth individuals do not pay for someone to clean their house 2-3 times a week.

Who spends new-car money to clean their homes? Maybe ultra high net worth individuals? I know people with 8 figures net worth who spend a fraction of that money for cleaning their homes.

:) At Amazon, due to their toxic work culture which led to high turnover, the joke was Amazon will run out of new hires, it will have to rehire previous employees.
