A significant percent, (I want to say most, but I don't have the numbers), of rental properties are covered by mortgages or other financing. "Pausing" mortgages can be done in a fairly centralized manner. Pausing rent is almo

Because some people live in very high cost of living areas - high income alone is not sufficient. Ultimately if you don't hand out the benefit equally you're making some kind of value judgement: you ought to live this way, and not

You have to account for the "I got mine so screw the next guy down on the ladder" mentality. One of the _real_ cross-party political issues is just how selfish and anti-community most Americans have become.

Why is there so much general confidence warmer temps will reduce spread? Is it really warm temps = more daylight = more UV bouncing around breaking up virus particles in the air? Does it make any difference at all for the majority of folks

+1 for this feature! It would be pretty neat to combine this with a service that prints a 2D image using physical lego bricks. This is nerdy and silly, but I could imagine "printing" a successful fortress in DF this way (or anothe

Slack works with Okta which works with AD. These days it seems most IT orgs don't want software interfacing with AD directly (mainly because AD is a hot mess to deal with). Also, Teams is free with O365 :(

Only if loan companies can freely deny loans to folks who cannot prove their credit worthiness (spoiler alert: that's a lot of lower class/immigrants/disadvantage populations). Credit is a complex problem that simple "co

Have you ever needed to be on a phone call while doing something else with your hands? Running with music and not having cords whip around your neck is pretty nice too.

This is demonstrably true in my experience. You're going to be downvoted to hell because this isn't the 2019 "I want to be an IC forever and I should make the same $ as my CEO" mood. For what its worth, I think the caree

Very well (and expressively) said! Being on the other side of the interview is _far_ more stressful than showing up at a company and giving it your best shot. A candidate may or may not get the job, a manager may make a bad hire that slows
