Right that's the point--there's a mismatch. The number in the original article likely includes benefits and overhead. The person I'm replying to is posting numbers from glassdoor and other places that most likely don't.

“Salary” numbers almost never include benefits like health plans and pension contributions, and they definitely don’t include things like unemployment insurance payments, and payroll taxes. I have never seen salary used as the total cost of

You should move down to Hamilton county. We have 1Gb fiber for around $60 from EPB (the municipal power company). Even out in the more rural areas.

Oh yeah. I’ve worked remotely for over a decade. I didn’t even have a webcam on my primary computer until the pandemic started. Now everyone wants to have a video call for things that used to be emails or slack conservations.

Removal requires 2/3 of the Senate. It’s unlikely that every member of a party would vote for removal without a clear, major violation. So the only way your scenario works out is if the Senate has 70 or so members from the party opposi

The President pressured the VP and Congress to overturn the election results. The President also told people to rally in Washington to pressure Congress into overturning the election. Then the President told the crowd at the rally to march

>A better analogy is that all doctors need to pass licensure exams in basic medical knowledge (e.g. anatomy, physiology, etc.) The problem with the situation is that doctors don't need to do that every time they change jobs.

I agree with the sentiment. But you basically have no recourse if you get food poisoning from a restaurant. Unless it’s a mass event, there’s no way for you to prove it was the restaurant, and even if you could prove it, your damages aren’t

The important to thing to realize about Pandermix was that the rate of people impact was so small that even if we followed 50k phase 3 participants over 10 years, we wouldn't have uncovered the issue. The narcolepsy issue was never goi

With that system you effectively remote one or the biggest advantages of the rule of law—predictability. At the very least you’d need to massively increase the term length of Congress. Radical swings back and forth every 2 years would be a

1. Dental x-rays are more straightforward and involve fewer people, so the price is easier to calculate. 2. Dental x-rays are more often than not elective procedures. It's much easier to comparison shop elective procedures than emergen

A dentist office is more comparable to an urgent care clinic than a hospital. And in many cases an urgent care clinic can tell you what simple procedures will cost. There are imaging services companies that can tell you upfront how much dia

That's because most common dental procedures are relatively straightforward and the mechanical processes of the mouth are relatively well understood compared to most of the rest of the body. Plus most dental procedures are elective in

The Silver Comet trail is amazing. I lived about 5 miles away from one of the trailheads and I used to go riding and walking there all the time. It goes through some very pretty areas.

Sure the polls that show Swedish people aren't wearing masks could have a huge margin of error. But everyone I've found shows numbers well under 10%. Here's another 2 polls that show around 5% of respondents say they wear mas

Those numbers are self reported from scientific polls. But a 90+ percentage point difference even when self reported, probably means there's a large difference. >Death rates, for example, at a naive guidance look worse for Spain. Sp

If you're talking about wearing masks in public, it looks like their numbers are low--implying that voluntary compliance isn't working great. For an example, I was driving through rural Alabama, which has a state wide mask mandate

It's not just filing with a court. You have to appear before a judge to ask for a default judgement, and the defendant can offer a defense (the options are narrow in scope, but not nonexistent). This was in the context of the optics of

Public student loans (90%+ of loan disbursements) work like this as well. The max you will have to pay is 10% of your discretionary income (10% of income above 1.5x the poverty level).

That's exactly how public student loans work in the US too (public loans account for 90%+ of student loan disbursements). For some reason this isn't widely known on HN.

But good luck getting money out of a student without actually getting a judgement. They'd basically be limited to reporting it to credit agencies and just asking them to pay. A arbitration agreement isn't enough to get a bank or a

You’re missing the point of the analogy. Progressive taxation doesn’t produce a cliff where you’re potentially better off if you make less money. The higher rates only apply to money over the threshold. Lambda school works the way many pe
