While not general to all Americans, there's a minority subset of couples who do not combine household expenses. There's a bunch of reasons for this: if you are divorced, it can simplify some of the processes around alimony. If you

Anyone who has followed hydrogen as a fuel for a while sees pretty easily that its a solution in search of a problem. It really doesn't make sense to use renewables to make hydrogen fuel to then burn: batteries are better for storage o

Depends. As a specific counter-example: a lot of (USA) non-profits have self-perpetuating boards. The CEO and the Board go out and recruit new members of the Board. While the Board has a legal fiduciary duty to the company (non-profits are

Yes, it would break the law because the law is written based on how you got the information, not based on if the information is disseminated. The law is that you can't use misappropriated government information.

No. A few months after the takeover I blocked Twitter at the DNS level for my house. I went back into the office for work one day and in some down time, I went to Twitter while it wasn't DNS blocked. It's a ghost town. I miss the

I thought my software should randomize config and install locations for security reasons? And also that I should add salt to binaries so that each binary has a unique hash. Also it should prompt users to change passwords every 72 hours and

If you're using a phone, you could email yourself with a journal specific subject then use an API to automatically add those observations to a log. (Might be able to do that with Google Drive or notes too, I'm not sure if they hav

I mean, while it's not technically just the park, I'm sure there are several parks on US Military bases where the airspace is restricted. Also, we can be the change we wish to see in the world: any park can be a park with a contro

The problem is that infinity is not a number. Infinity plus one is equal to infinity. This is not a trait that any number has. There is no number where you can add one and get the same number. The subset of an infinite set can itself be inf

I disagree. I have been making homemade bread almost weekly for over 10 years now and making good homemade bread is not easy and the cleanup alone adds a ton of active time that needs to be addressed quickly lest you end up with cement-like

To your point: I remember going to our IT security people asking for them to allow us to add Python to our computers. We said, "there's nothing in Python that Excel can't do" (not 100% true). Their response was, "If

I find for me personally, note taking is a way of forcing me to actively listen. Most of my notes are like yours: haphazard and rarely looked at again. The two things I do track are specific action items: those get a star in the margin so t

I think you're generally right (I just took a demotion in title with a promotion in pay), but with the edge cases to avoid: 1. Cul-du-sac promotions where once you're there you don't have a progression beyond 2. Promotions wh

Hey, I keep seeing people claim biometrics somehow fix the password problem, but I feel like this is just a password you can't change? I can't change my fingerprints nor my retina, but if that data ever gets leaked, then that&#x27
