Domino's doesn't have to ask twice. They're choosing to.

The link you posted is about not giving the user a choice. It's an optional pre alert screen that only leads to the system request. Apps are choosing to allow users to say no/cancel on that screen that then lets them ask again an

I work in government and my position has been reclassified from computer programmer to software developer and software engineer over the past 20 years. Same workload and skillset. We're even supporting some of that same software writ

That's great for money laundering, but you'd have to pay taxes on it. Good luck.

I'm at 80k miles on my Model Y, I've changed 1 set of tires and few sets of wiper blades.

We have an ICE mid-sized SUV and a model Y. Costco installed tires are within a few dollars of each other. There were more options for the ICE vehicle was the main difference. There are a lot of variables to really make a detailed analys

Nowadays, people probably haven't paid off their car in 5 years either. Average new car loan is 68 month term. https://tucson.com/news/nation-world/business/personal-finan...

Even worse, people promoted by hiring into new positions are also on probation and those are probably positive contributors.

Specialized wheels/tires? Go down to any tire shop. It's just a tire.

This isn't banning dubious information. I only have to look at what my mom sends me videos about from Facebook.

I was more pointing out the second link does nothing to support his statement.

The first link ignores payroll taxes because it doesn't paint the same picture. The second link seems to show the US tax rates are significantly lower for the upper echelon compared to other first world countries.

That sounds cool. I bet people without kids wouldn’t direct their taxes to any schools. Or maybe they don’t support the police. Can you imagine the craziness of trying to create a budget for your community where everyone gets to direct t

Private schools do not play by the same rules. Special education and transportation are a significant cost of public schools that private schools can just ignore.

The numbers don't appear to support that. Federal government employees haven't fluctuated very much over the past 40 years. https://www.statista.com/statistics/204535/number-of-governm...

They also suggested selling off all the FBI watercraft. This plan is going well.

OP seems to be saying if the non state controlled schools follow the rules as state schools then that is fine, but they currently don't. Not many private schools provide special education services for one.

It doesn't look right in a lot of older films either. Plenty of entertaining films were poor quality yet still make money and attract audiences.

I don’t disagree, but I also don’t trust that retailers will pass on the savings. Many higher priced items sell based on MSRP anyway.

Almost no retailers offer a discount for using cash or a debit card. You're paying the retailer either way. Whether they pay a transaction fee or pocket it isn't much of a difference to you.

They used to only accept Amex and had a branded card. It worked fine for them that way too.

I've always read the term open source as the source is available for me to read so I know what I'm running. Beyond that if I'm an adventurous sort then I could try and compile it to run for my personal usage. Windows 95 was

That sounds like it would just slow the process of returning the vehicle.

The illegal act is using X. The means to enact that is to enforce it at the ISP level. A user finding way to continue to use X is on the user. You may not agree with X being banned, but punishing the users is what should happen when they

That's fair. From a personal perspective it was a good idea. He regularly had sites get compromised though, so for his customers it wasn't always a good product. He generally kept his customers happy though.

I knew a guy that made a good living as a freelance web developer decades ago. He would pretty much just copy and paste code from tutorials or stack overflow and had no real idea how anything worked. Using code without understanding it is
