The numbers are clearly different, but not in the "one is slavery and the other is not" kind of way right?

I'm curious by the idea that your co-workers/bosses aren't making minor grammatical errors on a regular basis.

His point is that the same things apply to 30% tax: you are only 2/3 away from being a slave, if you don't pay your 30% your freedom is taken away. There isn't a rational difference between 30 and 50, the only difference is &

Just fyi his correction is right but somewhat pedantic: no one would bat an eye at that error in a work email.

I think he meant NY or New England when he said East Coast. North Carolina doesn't fit that pattern of having consistent 0°F to 105°F range every year.

Can you explain in what ways it is simpler to change 1 to 2 in the first case? Is it that you are mutating them via script and it seems more "normal" to mutate a property of a tag instead of the tagname? Or is it because it might

The original chart makes it look like manifucturing jobs doubled from 1950 to 1980 and then fell by 90%. Your complaint is that the zero'd axis makes it look like 1950 and 2010 aren't actually that much different seems weird to me

I have an xps13 with the default windowing manager that Dell installed and it is really inconsistent in sizing (some things are weirdly large while others hard to read from being too small)

To be fair, these types of necessarily clientside restrictions as "rules" exist in many popular games: Starcraft 1 and Warcraft 3 for example had a limit on the number of units you could select / command at once: there is abs

That's his current plan, but some of his previous positions were a bit more draconian / extreme. I think the pledge implies level of drawing a clear line in the sand before it it ever comes to it.

Did he? The original comment said "It would involve restricting what the new web could do and those restrictions would make things better. We don't need the kitchen sink in every page." which sounds exactly what AMP is doing.

A rich celebrity who paid zero taxes only getting 2 years seems to be confirming that white collar crime is largely unpunished, not a counterexample.

That's not correct. Even though the magnitudes of the value in isolation shrinks, the relative magnitudes are still amplified which is what matters. Consider values 1/2 and 1/4: in the original space it's double but in t

In that case it's unclear that it is a proactive step against terrorism (for the reason I said, domestic terrorists get guns more easily) which is a different kind of debate than cases where everyone agrees a freedom limiting step woul
