   For me, I didn't notice much of a difference in performance. Ostensibly, the benchmarks say that it is ~5x faster, but on a day-to-day basis, I barely notice this - I rarely transfer files larger than ~10GB. However, what I did appreci

   Tempe, AZ - Office is just under 2 miles from my house. I usually bike, which takes ~10 (leisurely) minutes. The heat can be a problem in the summer, but if I offset to go earlier in the morning and return earlier in the day, I can ensure I

   My go-to recipes are pot roast, chicken soup, phở, and bolognese sauce. Basically, any recipe that requires boiling or simmering for a long time (and/or can be made in a slow cooker) can be made faster and (more importantly to me) tast

   I think the parent's argument is that while democracy may be the most efficient system so far , but that who knows how governmental systems might change or evolve in the presence of modern technological advancement.

   This seems like the same issue faced by someone who is assembling a warhead; I think all they really need to say is "Today I will [do] something that will benefit myself, at the expense of someone else." Specifically, in the sense

   First, let's accept the conceit (for now) that nation-states have both the desire and the capability to do this. In that context, it's very easy to imagine ways to frame the death such that it would prevent him from seeming a mart

   This is just a guess, but I suspect that "scale" also generally correlates positively with compensation. A medical device company with 50 employees just doesn't have the same resources as a company with 1M+ users, for example

    I would only disagree with your characterization of the weather; mid- to upper-nineties with extreme humidity during the summers is not "fantastic". I'm sure someone from Austin or Atlanta would be fine, but as a native of

    I think the parent is actually referring to pre-tax salaries; the baselines are much lower (last I checked) in the EU relative to the US.

    Does anyone know of a similar comparison that includes South and East Asian countries? From my personal conversations, those areas will see longer hours AND lower pay than the U.S., and I'd be interested to see that broken down statist

    I think you may have misunderstood the parent; the argument is that an unattended child in the home of a drug-addicted negligent parent is at the SAME level of risk whether that parent left them alone to purchase drugs, or whether they went

    I've signed a few, and they usually explicitly cover the details of the questions themselves. In other words, you can say you had to solve an algorithmic problem, but you can't mention the specific details or wording of that probl

    I did some (very quick) comparisons to Britain's police force, which for the most part is not armed. I ignored the confounding effects of the illegality of guns, assuming that most hardened criminals will be able to get one anyway (a c

    I was wondering the same thing, and did some back-of-the-envelope calculations to get a feel for that. Surprisingly, when compared to British officers who (for the most part) are not armed, providing officers with guns seems to decrease bot

    I think this is a valid point, in that it serves as the other side of the coin to the arguments of your parent poster. Other than transportation and carrying ability, cars also amplify things like consumption of energy, physical space, and

    This is something I've thought about frequently, and I completely agree. The "purpose" of my existence would be maintained, so why would I care which one you choose? We all do this without thought on a daily basis with files

    Even going into the new design with an understanding of what it was trying to achieve, the tab title "Free for share" threw me off. It was so jarring that I completely stopped reading the article and started trying to grok the UI.

    As long as you have a $60,000/mo trust fund, these aren't difficult problems to solve. Just take your entire family with you when you travel! No need to renew your H-1B since your income from that job is a pittance compared to you

    Or, if you disagree with their opinion: hidebound, closeminded, timorous, etc. I think the parent was going for something indicating disagreement, so it seems unlikely that your "positive" adjectives are what they were looking for
