No it doesn't. When you actually pass out, there's a very real sense of discontinuity. You find yourself on the floor, unsure how long you've been there (even if it was just seconds), and how exactly you got to that position

Are you sure they aren't just being practical? Seems like the changes they endorse could result in increased workplace safety for their members.

Around here, working multiple contracts is effectively prevented by clients sprinkling meetings all over the workday. Attending all of those for multiple clients AND getting your actual work done would be quite impossible. Also, thank you f

A major driving force for us is the desire to not to become Russians, which is indoctrinated into us from birth. The "neutrality" was originally forced on us at the end of WW2. Maintaining it worked ok for co-existing peacefully w

From the Finnish point of view the case for NATO has become quite clear. There were a number of reasons why we used to believe Russia won't be invading us any time soon. 1. The invader would suffer a massive penalty for their reputatio

From the company POV the capital investment is the outstanding shares. The shares need to be kept happy with some combination of immediate profit and continuosly growing projection of future profit (i.e. investing into growth), or they star

It starts off as symbiotic (you give capital for future profit), but becomes parasitic (you just keep leeching profit without giving anything more in return). At least, that is what I plan to do. Stop working and live as a full-time parasit

There are two groups slicing the worker's cheese. One is the state, they claim tax. The other is the investors, they claim profit. Calling out other parasites, don't forget you also are one.

In the well known tax haven where I live, Finland (sum of taxes and employee part of pension and other social security, 2020. YMMV due to municipalities setting different rates, deductions etc): 30% at 50k 40% at 100k 49.5% at 250k

Most Euro countries have capital gains tax rate that's mostly flat and significantly under 50%. By the time the progressive income tax rate starts to exceed the near-flat capital gains tax rate, people start finding ways of converting

15W * 8h = 120Wh. For that, you can run a 2000W kettle for 216 seconds, or 3.6 minutes.

The question is, would an open auction be any better? The process will just happen at smaller increments. And you will have ghost bids to prop up the prices.

The tax could be an "empty house" tax, so there would be an incentive to get a tenant. Alternatively, the tax could be targeted at negating profit from value increase, so that you pay higher tax on profit from sale of property (po

I wonder how much more functionality would be needed on top of a state-of-the-art active suspension, to enable the car to "walk" sideways into a parking spot.

Would everyone getting a paying job lead to inflation? And if it would, would that mean that we should rig the system in a way that it can never happen?

Surely a "random person walking their dog near the site by chance" would be much more plausible for that purpose.

If you want to participate in parenting, you'll want to be somewhat fit. You can expect a lot of lifting, carrying, squatting and sitting on floor, stroller pushing, running after etc. Better chance you won't get exhausted by that
