50% of SP is not OK, but 80% is OK? Honest question. I can think of principled arguments for equal pay and for fully COL-adjusted pay, but I can't think of any for equal-ish pay.

I've never heard that "gender" is a grammatical term only, it got me interested enough to search up the word in some older dictionaries. Webster's 1828: https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/

GDPR fines are structured to make it extremely risky/expensive to take the “ask for forgiveness not permission” approach you’re suggesting. I think for this reason, the fine is designed to scale with the size of the offending company’s

That doesn’t appear to be true; on Tesla’s site, the delivery estimate doesn’t change if you add the FSD option. Unless you’re saying it’s an undocumented policy?

I’m with you on minimal, 100% anonymous, and aggregated, but why does the data need to be open to the public to not be spying? Genuinely curious, you’ve clearly thought about this a lot.

It's just as bad on desktop. I found it hugely helpful to tweak <h2> with margin-left: -4rem, and <h3> with margin-left: -2rem (using the Developer Tools that the author works/worked on?). Worth the effort, great advic

Would taxing the loan reset the cost basis, then? Or are you suggesting taxing the same gains twice (or more than twice if someone repeatedly takes out and pays back a loan against the same assets)? I agree buy, borrow, die is a problem but

Good catch. It's because the initial value for year is: var year = new Date().getFullYear(); and 2022 is outside of the range of the slider. If you tweak the HTML to change the slider's max value to 2022, then it works pr

Wow, why would they go out of their way to do that? Even with my most cynical hat on, I can’t think of how this is in their self interest. Oh, is it to ensure nerfing of FP64 performance for their consumer cards? Is that done at the driver
