The parent is talking about rural areas: > You can buy houses in rural New York for $100k-$150k. But for your comment, what percentage of the population do you believe qualifies for WFH? Do you think the population at risk of homelessnes

This is the same as saying that a tax cut with an expiration date should be treated as if it were permanent. Are you not aware that these things are different? That there is a difference between an adjustment to a proposed budget and a bu

Living in a rural area is not actually either cheap or easy. You need the skills to either profit off the land, which is not a trivial thing, or you to have a job that will allow you to afford to commute. What incentives are you imagining,

How much of that is surrounding infrastructure and overhead (guards, security, etc) that don't apply? Plus that includes all meals, medical care, instruction, and other resources in many cases.

"We've guessed wrong historically on data sizes, and if we had 9 bit bytes those guesses (if otherwise unchanged) would have been less wrong, so 9 bit bytes would be better!" is an extremely tenuous argument. Different decis

No. The total tax bill over the next five years was X, given the current laws. Then a bill was passed that reduced that total tax bill over the next five years. This is a tax cut. It's a little absurd to try to claim otherwise.

It absolutely is when the status quo would have increased taxes. That may not be a cut of current taxes, but in the longer timeframe it is absolutely a tax cut.

Even in the most facile analysis: Reduced labor availability either (a) decreases supply due to failure to harvest or (b) increases prices due to increased labor costs and therefore drives inflation higher faster than bottom-tier wages can

"Undisputed superpower"? That seems like a stretch for a description of modern Russia. Outside of having a stockpile of nukes, does anyone actually think that modern Russia is a superpower, with a failed space program, a flailing

Workers are paid out of shareholder pockets. Every dollar spent on worker salaries is a dollar not spent on dividends or stock buybacks. This isn't a useful distinction to make.

That sort of loaned manpower isn't free, despite management's continued delusions that it is. Loaners have a cost, both up-front (onboarding, mentoring, reviews, etc) and on-going (lack of organic expertise in the new code remai

Can we really blame OpenDoc for anything , though? It seems more sad than impactful, honestly.

Honestly, this is one of the few places where I agree with this sentiment. I have roughly the same trust in an LLM answer as in a SO answer anyway, so it's not like I'm buying any particular additional verification cost - I have

This is the silliness of the pure free-market libertarianism, with its stray man of "oh, you're being paternal and saying they can't decide for themselves!". No. A society, which has chosen its government, has decided th

Yes, this is the sort of thing that I'd reject. Why are we churning code (assuming it's working) to potentially introduce stylistic inconsistencies without some existing motivation, especially as a new person on the team who'

Agreed. It makes for a very obvious difference when we cross the river into New Hampshire. One of the things I love about living here.

Advocating for the end of a state is not the same as advocating for the eradication of a people . Someone can firmly believe that the existence of the state of Israel is a mistake that should be corrected while still also believing that

This is spot on. They're not concerned about their own security. They believe that they will have access to tools that will make them safe, but that "those people" will be deterred, and it is acceptable to give up some basic

It's not actually Electron; it's a bit of an unholy mishmash of webkit doing layout of things that are sometimes native views with interaction handling that's also a bit of both. It just has many of the same problems that tha

It basically is an Electron app; most of the UI is server-driven. It's just not HTML and js. News, Books, and TV are all similar.

If police kill an unarmed individual every 3 days, I would actually say that they do, in fact, regularly murder people. And that's ignoring any of the armed individuals who are not, in fact, threatening anyone or committing a crime.

That's not a universally true statement. Where I live in Vermont, nearly every business has a "Help Wanted" sign- from gas stations and McDonald's through construction, engineering, and knowledge work. None of these pla

You are not alone! This is also how I run coding interviews - I have absolutely passed candidates who did not actually complete the described problem. I always inform my candidates that we want to have a conversation about the problem and i

This is actually why I dislike these "coding interviews are useless" type articles. The issue has as much or more to do with bad interviewers than it does with the fact that it's a coding interview. When I'm tasked with

You have a bad browser/PDF viewer. The "spacing" issues are a result of using small caps as a title style, which is hardly unusual - especially in legal documents. This is both visually accurate and not a forced download for

I wouldn't call "requiring drivers to not be using mobile phones" a "tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims". It's for the good of everyone else on the road, and, in the case of seatbelts, fo
