Social Security isn’t a savings or investment program.

Silicon Valley existed before billionaires and plenty of university/government funding flowed in. Silicon Valley doesn’t require billionaires but billionaires require Silicon Valley.

What are your thoughts on D? My experience is limited but seems like a very underrated language.

The cost won’t be the same but 2-3x more.

Nah, that is strictly the domain of political punditry.

That’s quite the mental leap. Innovation and investment isn’t greed — especially not to what OP is referring to.

20 years ago, sure. The US has become obscenely expensive since then. Two kids in preschool at the same time in the US will be about $3000-3500/month. Add a mortgage on top of that and that $10k has mostly evaporated.

You say you "advise" and don't give any specifics. So why Kotlin over the myriad of other options? Picking a LAMP stack is picking a stack that is battle tested — nothing wrong with that for new projects.

MySQL is just fine for most cases. Postgresql has its warts too. Restoring a MySQL db is far simpler and smoother compared to Postgresql IMO for example.

I’m not sure what to say other than that you have a bizarre interpretation of the article. I mean in no way, shape or form is Biden trying to abolish the US Constitution.

That has literally nothing to do with attempting to abolish the US Constitution.

They still have access to and are making use of all the non-tangible benefits of their country though (e.g. legal protections, rights, any kind of social services, etc). If you want to be a citizen of a country you do have certain obligatio

That would be preferable because then they would lose all legal protections and other benefits provided by their country. FWIW the US taxes its ex-pats that live abroad.

FWIW, Newsbusters is run by MRC which is not exactly an unbiased or high quality source of information to say the least.

The vast majority of people aren’t affected by DEI just as they weren’t when it came to CRT. No one wakes up and worries how DEI will impact their day. DEI was used as a wedge issue on the campaign trail and amplified on social media (and r

Couldn’t Norway just change their tax code to be based on citizenship and not residence if it truly became a problem?

by gnz11 2y ago
Eh, I’d argue most people don’t think or care about DEI or go on social media to post weird rants. Most people have better things to do. Social media and the Web can amplify opinions that really aren’t that widespread in reality.

Fact checking is now activism with an agenda? What a hot take. From what I understand Meta used fact checkers certified by Poynter’s International Fact Checking Network [1]. Now with "community notes" you will most certainly get p

Ruby, Python and JS are all scripting languages. Many "expensive projects" are created with them.

Too be fair, they were slow to load if you didn’t have the browser extension and correct JRE installed.

So wasn’t inevitable that they got to the point of sitting on the ground in the first place? Meaning you still haven’t solved the contingency problem.

Take breaks? Maybe not worry so much about "wellness" articles? More often than not the anxiety these articles create is more detrimental than whatever the topic is about. For example, the article introduces an absurd "20-20-

If you are OK with running a Google service, how about Recaptcha V3? No captcha to fill in, just validate the score it generates on the backend.
