I live in metro Atlanta as well. Look at the actual data instead of cherry picking examples. Housing prices and rent increases have outpaced inflation for years. Also the city added only about half as many new units last year as it did the

The South has the same problems on a smaller scale. For example housing prices in metro Atlanta are rising way faster than inflation.

There are legitimate reasons for hiring someone who you can occasionally meet with. There are also legitimate reasons to hire someone in your own country. Or at least in a country with a reasonable facsimile of the rule of law and fair acce

All 13 type 23 frigates also come equipped with Harpoons. And the modern navy is so much faster than the 1918 Navy that firing their entire complement of missiles, retreating, and reloading is an option.

If we're talking anti pirate roles, we're talking jobs suitable for patrol boats. If we're including those, then we have way more than 300 ships already.

In a straight up battle the 1918 Navy would definitely lose just because of radar directed fire and anti-ship missiles. For the big battleships standard sea skimming anti-ship missiles might not be super effective because of the amount of a

I bring that up every time I hear people talking about how the US needs a 300 ship navy because we had more ships than that in WWI.

The lag isn't a minor factor though. We are talking a decade plus of incorrect predictions. Newer models that have taken deep ocean warming into account are probably more accurate. The oceans are now significantly warmer than earlier m

If the models didn't predict the lag, it stands to reason that the models weren't accurate, even if current temperatures align with them. That is to say that the current alignment is just coincidental. If I remember correctly, the

The NET bible has very extensive translation notes. Basically anytime something is even slightly ambiguous there's a note with information on what the ambiguity is and why they went with the translation they went with.

And that's why having 1 or a few big companies who are responsible for a big chunk of revenue sucks. To me that sounds like a insane request to completely change the way you run your business, by a company who is letting their lawyer h

As someone else pointed out this was a social thought experiment not an accusation. But if you're interested racial hiring bias has been thoroughly studied and well documented if you care to google it.

Plenty of businesses don't do background checks. Huge national restaurant chains often don't. Unless your employees are working with children or you are in a highly regulated industry I wouldn't worry about it.

It's not just customers. The same thing happens with internal stakeholders. I've seen products where there is basically zero actual software design because development is driven entirely by short term feature requests.
