To me, the door of the building seems to be a pretty clear line. For a fixed location job, the commute is fully under control of the employee and fair not to count as hours. For variable location jobs like in construction, my view is that p

Maybe more funding to increasing salaries for government employees would be a good start instead of more funding in order to hire more people/bloat the system. I think it could over time make government agency work more attractive and

Even if you think a compiled language will be faster, it might still be interesting by roughly how much (5%, 10x or 100x?). This can help make the trade off decision.

I was thinking they might keep the lightning standard until they would finally remove all connectors from iPhones. But then the whole AirPower charging pad didn’t work out, so not sure why they wouldn’t switch over finally.

I’d start with assuming everyone’s experience is normal distributed. Someone who always voted 3 stars probably had the same experience as someone who always voted 5 stars. I’d try out computing the normal distribution of the rater and see w

This is nothing new. There are many zoning laws restricting what you can do with your land: What can you build? Is commercial and/or residential use allowed? It's very much in line to say if a unit can be used as a hotel-like or n
