Huh I never thought about it from that angle, I dunno. The older people in our family who retired, were forced to retire at the retirement age (e.g. 55). (Note, obviously, not everyone actually retires at the retirement age, you just legal

Note that the majority of burglaries are unreported to the police and don't show up in the UCR. You should use the Bureau of Justice Statistics for numbers on crimes with very low reporting rates.

For example: 1. You break into someone's house and steal their crypto with no violence: burglary, not robbery. 1a. If they're present in the house, it's technically a home invasion even if there's no violence. 2. You br

So a few things I'm using Bureau of Justice Statistics data, not FBI. E.g. https://bjs.ojp.gov/library/publications/victimization-durin... FBI / UCR covers only reported crimes at police agencies that

Home invasion isn't exactly surprising, it's about 1 million home invasions per year in the US. And violent assault of some sort during home invasion isn't super surprising, that's like O(250k) per year. But the kidnapp

In law it also depends a lot on how what rank in your class you were.

Pretty much, yea. Pedantically, only the social security part of FICA is capped. Medicare you still pay 1.45-2.35%, uncapped. But the 6.2% for social security is capped, and thus for the top end of the 1% ends up being a miniscule tax. If

Right but most people don't stick a single career anymore. An individual career is <30 yrs, and the average person will have >1 of them. It's not as out there as e.g. this article ( https://www.wsj.com/articl

It works if you ignore FICA completely (which is weird because it's like 30-40% of tax collected or something), and round 45% up to 50%. If you include FICA, it's more like the top 1% of income people pay ~30% of total tax (somewh

Yea we never had it for even all Google controlled repos, just the ones that would work with us to get compilation units from their build system. I was the last one to try (and fail) at getting arbitrary repos to extract and index in Kythe.

Do you mean the non-semantic indexing, which covered most of Google Code? Like grep-style supporting, but no real semantic data? Or are you talking about the few repos that had semantic indexing via Kythe (chromium, android, etc)? We neve

On the subject of bullet holes in 1% of the thing, NH also has way laxer gun laws than Texas. (Or at least had laxer laws 5 years ago, I suppose Texas probably has loosened gun laws in recent years) No permit for carrying, no duty to infor

My grandpa's side grew up in southern China, so that's what I originally thought. But my wife is from way northeast, and I had to begrudgingly admit that I do like the rice from up there better.

Yea I mean I would not be surprised about this either. See also: sketchy cooking oil (sometimes literally transported in fuel tankers?), sketchy milk, etc etc. Food safety in China is still getting up to speed. Though if we're talkin

The best rice I've had is in far northeastern China (Heilongjiang or Jilin province). Which seems weird to me given the geography, but I guess I don't know shit about rice farming.
