Yes, but 100% of adults today were born before 2011, and that will continue to be (ever so slowly less and less true as we die out) true for decades. It's good and all, but.

It is you who got confused. My comment is a top level comment on a post called "There is no Antimemetics Division (2018)" and in no way references any other works. I am not interested in talking about other books right here right

If that's true why does college cost an order of magnitude ($60k per year) more than a public high school in a top state (eg NJ/MA, $15k per year) with similar class size ratios, less class time per year, and only slightly higher

This is one of the many things I had in mind when I mentioned in another comment that this book is a metaphor for anything and everything. I knew someone who saw it as a metaphor for dealing with their past trauma and their need to "fi

This book got me through some tough times. It's one of my favorite pieces of literature. It deserves to be a classic 100 years from now. Part of why it works is by the nature of its subject, the book and its various plot points and dev

Why would you need to consume any erythitol at all to be on a keto diet anyway? Doesn't keto mean no or few carbs or no simple carbs or something like that? You can just focus on eating animal proteins, fats, fiber (vegetables) etc. No

Yes they are. We don't have enough of them and should make more. Literally all of Philadelphia (and its suburbs going quite far out) resembles this, thanks to rowhouses which allow true single family you-own-your-own-land-with-your-own

You know what sucks? A ton of families-with-kids would love to stay in the city, if only the schools-- especially high schools-- were on par with what can be found for similar price in the suburbs. There is no physical reason it should be l

You should just state the hours (4-8 hours a week apparently) and hourly rate (still no idea based on this vague math) in the job req then. Especially when listed next to other offshore jobs with such low wages, it's a confusing and ba

Sorry if it wasn't obvious, I was talking about the historical UK that owned and operated the British Empire up until the world wars and then almost seamlessly ceded the mantle to the US. I bet you also are unable to learn any lessons

> That assumes that people actually owned the land that they were working and weren't renting it from a landlord. No, it doesn't. Prices are influenced by elasticity of supply and elasticity of demand. Even without owning it, i

WTF are you talking about? I played SimCity for DOS just the other day through an emulator. Easy as pie. It's only be going out of your way to make it hard to emulate by unnecessarily depending on an online infrastructure that you kill

It may not be a total coincidence that the common law based UK and US became so much more dominant in commerce. Obviously their imperial holdings had a lot to do with other factors too, like the UK's early lead in the industrial revolu

idk but Jython didn't. So I don't think there's anything inherent in the language outside of CPython that calls for it.

Ugh, yes, and many Americans naively imagine that all that John Hughes movie nonsense is somehow a normal universal part of teenage growing up! They'll see their kids start doing it and since they did it too they just shrug whist fully

Can't be. Nobody would ever pay n entry level data center technician in Dallas $30k per month either. It's bizarre. You'd have to hire exclusively felons without high school degrees to be able to command such a low wage.

It's even worse. Let's assume good faith and assume the below is a typo that will be immediately rectified: > Dallas, TX, US $10K - $30K In the USA, this is below the poverty line, and less than what you make wiping down floor

(4) See a page with a visual element you like? View source! Just kidding, that's so 1999. In 2024, view source has been obsoleted by using the browser's debugger (inspect elements, etc) as mentioned in (1), that way you get the ac

There are details, but we can get them right if the political will is there. The big picture is that platforms should be responsible for their arbitrary and self-serving publishing and promoting decisions, while being shielded from liabilit

Heh! This is why I seriously doubt I'll do it-- I foresee just switching back as well, three years and $200,000 lighter! Perhaps a better question would have been, as a SWE how can I get involved with interesting problems relating to l
