I was with you until >entire meta-industry of cost management which I’m sure is a net loss. I am paid hourly and I have literally, in the past week, billed ~14 hours to save ~$150,000 per month. We work for a client and we strive to mak

I went on vacation in Costa Rica, leaving my Vitamin D pills at home, thinking the same thing. Not true! I had to shell out like $30 to buy imported Vitamin D tablets because I could feel the positive effects of my Vitamin D supplementatio

Yes but the "theft" in this case is Citibank's incompetence resulting in a decline of shareholder value. Brigade isn't stealing anything. Imagine three friends. One owes money to another one, and a third acts as some k

Can't they just evaporate off the water and use the remaining salt to treat roads in the winter?

It's Australia. Try looking into some of the weird and gross stuff the Federal government does.

Wait, MongoDB is still hot? I thought it was debunked years ago and was essentially a laughingstock.

Money in this case would be a tool to teach the client to value the person's time more highly and fend for themselves. If it costs the client $100 every time he forwards a comment for consideration, the client might actually put in th

I always call it the "lottery problem" instead of the "bus problem" because it's more positive. Also for some people, getting hired at a FAANG is like winning the lottery so it jives with OP's article.

And at that time, being fashionable will have additional cachet because by then many of the fast fashion retailers will be bankrupt or running reduced selection and inventory.

This is exactly how I feel. I have the 3a XL and it's a fabulous phone. the a+XL combo is a category killer if they could get their supply chain together.

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the hilarity of the domain name. For those who don't get it: it's a play on the name of the nyan-cat meme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyan_Cat

Wow this is literally the exact same thing as the OP but for an entire building. Insane.

The dollar will only depreciate if interest rates in other countries/currencies are higher, right? What leads you to believe interest rates in the US will be significantly lower than in other countries?

Because drones don't blow whistles, newspapers don't write articles about how drones are mistreated. Not to mention lowering the overhead of HR, payroll, etc functions.

Can't they simply tax the hell out of meat by how much it damages the environment? E.g. beef is taxed very, very high, chicken lower, etc?

Thank you. It's one of my most-mentioned law or principle, and I keep having to Google it to remind myself what it's called or so I can link it to a colleague. It's fun to be part of a discussion with other people who alrea

Yes! There's a "law" or "rule" for this! My favorite other ones are Hanlon's Razor and the Robustness Principle.

I think this is a general problem with technology as a whole. Remember when channel changes on TVs were instantaneous? Somehow along the way the cable/TV companies introduced latency in the channel changes and people just accepted it

I've recently started using a Firefox extension called uMatrix and all I can say is, install that and start using your normal web pages and you'll very quickly see exactly why web pages take so long to load. The number and size o

Aren't the vast majority of people in the US represented by public defenders? Public defenders who make salary, and are extremely overworked and often default to some subconscious rubic for how to allocate their efforts....

I think males are subjected to the same appearance biases, but it's not necessarily pure attractiveness. Height and size, for example.

by joncrane 6y ago
I think lawyers are subject to the biases, as well. Defense lawyers probably work harder for attractive people, prosecutors are probably less cutthroat. It's an intractable problem.

You don't have to be as big as youtube. The only infrastructure you need is ingestion points for all the feeds, and then reporting mechanisms. The ingestion can just go into an autoscaling group. At that point your cloud costs track

I find this prediction very plausible. The economy contracted by one third this past quarter. Many will lose the ability/willingness to pay $100/mo to 18 different content creators. The "get rick quick" scams will prol

You sure? Most of the gas stations I use to fill up have me leave the card in for the chip reader, as opposed to slide it in and out quickly as before.
