Taxes affect the whole market; the landlord's car payments just affect that landlord. Similar apartments in your area are similarly priced. That's because they're obeying supply and demand. If your landlord's car payment

Can someone more familiar with this stuff tell me why the air traffic controller had the F-16 turn left, so that its path would cross that of the Cessna's? Seems backwards.

I reread Dune recently, for the first time since middle school. It is not as good as I remembered it. It's certainly readable, but it's awkward in places and there are whole sections that barely make sense. Also, much which was

We have this weird idea in the US that the world changed fundamentally on 9/11/2001. But it didn't, really; the risk of terrorist attacks didn't skyrocket just because one happened. That doesn't really even make sen

Yes, it's my understanding too. The OJ factory creates "flavor packs", essentially artificial flavor constructed from chemicals extracted from the oranges. Plenty of sources out there for it, but Wikipedia is a good place to

Leaving aside the UDHR's enforceability in the US, the document doesn't actually include the word "water" or "drink". What it does include is this: > (1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequa

The right thing to do is decouple the pricing of water from the economic justice. Let water have a market price. Send money to poor people, which they can use on water or not water (it's crucially important that it's unrestricted

That you can't type it isn't an argument against types, but that you can't type it and that's perfectly fine with you suggests you don't actually think types are that important.

I think the key on the rejection thing is to remember that the other person is also on the hook for $20, and won't get another match if they reject you. So if the service is even basically working from a matching perspective [1], you s

First, NYC is also kind of a clusterfuck; rents there are terrible. But while NYC needs to continue building more, it at least has the excuse that it's built up a lot already, and its mayor is actively encouraging more development. Peo

To the degree that it allows invalid types, it's weakly typed. That's fine as a compromise (no type system is perfect), but the same impulse that says you should type in the first place also says you should only allow valid types.

Vertical integration makes good sense, but I don't think that's the situation HP is in. This is more of a horizontal split up. It does mean they can apply less collective pressure on component providers, but only to the extent tha

I suspect you're right, but doesn't a weight scale help you make medical decisions too? Is that a medical device?

I don't see why. Passive income vs profit is not really dichotomy; passive income is a question of how much work you put in, whereas profit is how much you make relative to how much you put in. Regardless of how you structure your co

I obviously haven't thought about this as long as you have, but offhand I think that model is a mistake. Only a small subset of people (and perhaps a bunch of companies) want things like proxy support or VPNs or other extra services. M

You may know this, but maybe it's worth pointing out that the big savings here is actually just that the function itself can be pretty expensive, since it may stringify some data structure. In eagerly evaluated languages, if you say th

Macros let you do option three, too, by just guarding the body with an if in the generated code. That way you avoid having to use an anonymous function each time. So in Lisp (log level (construct-a-string)) instead of (log level (fn [] (con

From that link: "...whether the age differences in their potential intimate relationships are socially acceptable" Sounds to me like a descriptive statement to me.

I think that sort of misses the point of the metaphor as used here. If one big part of the brain is missing, and thus the mechanisms it enables are unavailable, some other part of the brain (at least in this case) makes up for it by providi

Scanning through the comments, it looks like most of the naysaying was downvoted and the comments about how it's neat floated to the top, including yours.

Cool, thanks. We have a combination of Medela and Phillips Avent stuff, and it looks like they're all polypropeline, so we'll probably just stick with those. Glass seems like a hassle and I'm also not very worried about steri
