This makes zero sense. A gallon of gas is about $4.00, the idea that someone would spend all that gas money to avoid a tax of 1.75 cents/oz just doesn't pass the sniff test.

The JWST cost nearly $10 Billion and 24 years to build on earth. This is not a launch cost problem.

This is exactly what Disney did do though; Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio; to become a massive corp. And now that they are a massive Corp that just can buy the rights to any copyrighted material locking out competit

Speech is an action. Saying someone got fired for their actions (which were primarily speech, not physical actions) is the same thing as firing someone for their speech. And I don't really care about the Dixie Chicks, they were right,

If the student body doesn't approve of the student union, do something about it. The student body refusing do something about it is implicit speech that they approve. If most of the student body isn't changing the student union, t

There are a lot of people that think this is cancel culture. Bobby Kotick is likely going to be "cancelled"/fired from Activision if their board has any sense in the next few days. Was he cancelled, or did his past behavior f

And after having spoken and been declared a fool, are we not allowed to say "no more"?

You are not entitled to a platform. The student body choosing who they want to listen to is, in and of itself, a form of speech. Why is this such a difficult concept for people to understand?

People choosing to no longer listen to you because you have ideas that are currently considered reprehensible to the larger society is not being cancelled. That's called consequences for my actions. You are not entitled to consequence

It's not meant to be literal. We all understand basic biology. The reason some of us say "we are pregnant" is because it demonstrates that both people are invested in the pregnancy.

It takes close to a year to re-tool a factory for a different auto model. The suggestion to just produce an older model just doesn't make sense in time or money.

Because all capacity is being used. So it's not that today's capacity costs more (this capacity was sold and paid for months/years ago), it's future capacity that costs more. Until there are more chip factories, this is

Your problem isn't monorepo, it's bad tooling. Tests should only execute against code that changed. Builds should only build the thing you want to build, not the whole repository.

Having had used both, Google's implementation is IMO the superior version of monorepo. Really, Google's Engineering Systems are just better than anything that I have ever used anywhere else.

No one is shaming you. This is a critique of history failing to emphasize the importance of Dan and Bob, not a critique of what you know. I don't even understand how someone reads that sentence and then assumes it is an attack on them,

Median household income has gone up. It's currently the highest it's ever been in real terms. Households are better off today then they have ever been in their day-to-day affordability of goods. You also can't cherry-pick a h

Inflation is a rate. If the rate is transitory, who is being deceptive?

That is not how inflation works.

Yes, and what's your point?

The best source control system I have used to date is Google's G4 with hg (mercurial) bindings, I think they called it Fig if memory serves me. I'm not sure if there is any product that is similar to it outside of Google.

You don't pay cap gains tax on retirement withdrawal. They are subject to regular income tax (or tax free if they are Roth funds).

There are lots of ways to get money out of your 401k penalty free if you are actually retired. There is a 72t and also the rule of 55.

You can contribute to a rIRA with up to $140k/yr in income when filing single, more when filing married jointly. There are also no income limits if you do not have an employee sponsored retirement plan. So yea, still doesn't hurt

Why such a conservative rate of return? There is no 35 year period where the inflation adjusted return was below 7%. Why use a 5% real rate of return for this analysis?

"big.little" is like "kleenex" or "ziploc". Yes, technically they refer to a specific implementation of a thing, heterogenous CPU core size, tissues, plastic storage bags, but in reality, they were so perfectly
