I was amazed that that long list of charges only results in a 20-year maximum.

> Tacit leaders are more important (and respected) than explicit ones. Appointing a leader rarely works. There are different use-cases for intrinsic and extrinsic leadership. Some actions work better when executed by one or the other.

I can get behind your theory. But I don't know how well it holds for housing, because of the technique described in the longer article posted in another thread. [0] Specifically, housing is 40% fair market rent on a three-bedroom apa

Make expectations clear and start issuing consequences for not following them. Sounds much easier than it is... The key is to turn that feedback cycle to your purpose. Once consequences start flowing, word will start to get out that &quot

Don't mean to nit, just curious about meaning: Did you mean "culture should be emergent"? Culture has this really interesting property. It's really the cumulative effect of all the decisions and actions taken by every

Inheritance is not really all that powerful, assuming that one follows SOLID and especially Liskov substitution. There's very few places where it's actually applicable. Interfaces are much more widely applicable -- defining cont

Any Java code that is that tight would probably be looking at eliminating allocations, not making them faster. Allocations mean new memory addresses, new cache lines. If you reuse the same objects for the next operation, they're alread

The basic premise seems simple and not-wrong enough: External costs are not borne by shareholders, so they are not priced into the market. I mean, that's kind of the definition of externality. Everything else is hot garbage, though

It should be avoided, but there are legitimate use-cases. Deserialization, for example, might yield a few different types. Especially if you don't control the endpoint and the data back is a mess. When it is used, it's very ni

I can certainly see a case. Let's make it about money. A is a single payment of $10,000. B is two monthly payments of $5250. Or, in other words, a 5% improvement over A in total payments. C is three monthly payments of $3675. Again, 5

Interesting. My experience at UO was that the only place where you could get paper cups, the dispensers were behind the counter. So there was no need for the open dispensers to accept anything other than a validated chip. And same on the

That's not Coke. I mean, Coke provides the technology to enable it, maybe. But Universal Orlando is the one responsible for requesting and implementing the feature. Though I wasn't aware of any use for paper cups... Last time

FIFO and LIFO are common options, but for stocks you can also elect to calculate based on specific shares. (Depending, of course, on support from your brokerage.) If one can do the same with BTC transactions, it will make staying under th

That's an arguable point if not enabling it means lower rankings on search... Which is problematic when both are being offered by the same company.

If the spending is for clearly separate transactions, such as your example of shopping at different stores, then that seems like it would be fairly easy to defend. What would be problematic here is, say, buying a car with BTC in multiple &q

IANAL. My reading is the same. All BTC transactions -- and by that I mean transactions made in BTC, not currency conversions -- for which the difference in the basis and current value are less than $200, exclude that difference from incom

Structuring laws are any attempt to evade reporting. There's no dollar limit on it; the limits depend on the reporting laws or policies. You're thinking $10,000 because that is the limit for deposit reporting. But if this law ha

The /a/ in Thai is a central vowel. This is different than English /a/, which is a front vowel. And /o/ is the open back vowel. That is why it falls between English ⟨pad⟩ and ⟨pod⟩. And if you don&#x2

I don't think that's accurate. The article goes through pains to discuss that sometimes castles are simply routed around. Quantum computing would potentially be one of those.
