it is an interesting phenomenon that people can have such strong opinions about things they have no interest in actually learning about. reminds me of when I was planning my first gaming PC build as a teenager. my dad kept going on about ho

yes and no. that is how it's actually implemented, but from the outside it does look similar to a defined contribution plan. you pay into it during your working years and then receive a monthly payment in retirement. the payment amount

not a constitutional scholar, so I can't answer that aspect of your question. I can at least give a "reasonable person" explanation though. it's not hard to teach someone to safely handle small arms. a responsible twelve

"disastrous" is a bit of an exaggeration, but ultrasonic humidifiers literally fling water into the air. whatever is dissolved in the water goes along for the ride, so you can potentially get a lot of particulate matter in the out

that doesn't sound like a very good idea to me. legislation is not complex only because of pork; there are always edgecases and loopholes to be handled. I highly doubt a reasonable solution to any of the problems you listed could be de

what would antitrust enforcement against amazon look like? amazon basics is a bit questionable, but aside from that they have credible competition in every business segment.

of course it's not possible to come up with an ironclad set of rules on how best to spend money, especially not in the space of a single blog post. but that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying. if nothing else, it helps to bec

fwiw, I've also experienced this on windows if I allowed msvc to use 8/8 threads. the cursor wouldn't even move smoothly. the solution at the time was to lower the compilation thread priority below whatever the default was.

I'm not personally a ferrari fan, but I can understand the appeal. you can buy cars for $50k that are already much too fast to fully enjoy on public roads, and realistically, $250k+ cars are going to spend most of their lives in garage

very different models of care? if you have a doctor, the expectation is that you see them for a yearly checkup plus a few times for random illnesses. if you have a therapist, the expectation is that you see them every week or two. maybe the

you can't have a static outer class in java; static classes must be defined inside of a non-static class. AFAIK, the closest you can get to free functions is a non-static class that only has static functions. infuriatingly, many covera

I agree with you, there are absolutely pros and cons to async work, and sometimes the cons outweigh the pros. I would point out though that not everyone operates at the scale where everyone can come into the same office every day and meet f

I'm not proposing an entire city inhabited by a single income bracket. I'm talking about neighborhoods as much smaller areas, as a rough definition "all the places I can walk to in 10-15 minutes". I think I see your poin
