I mean yeah, step one is almost always "make more money than most people on earth", which is obviously not an attainable goal for most people. if you're already on the right track, it's not terribly interesting to read.

I would guess that at least one out of four drivers is exceeding the speed limit at all times, so the fact that one out of four fatal crashes involves speeding doesn't say much. it's odd to start off the article with such a weak s

why? miles seem like the natural denominator to me. I don't hop in my car to drive 20 minutes and see where I end up. my goal is to drive to a specific location n miles away.

I mean, there are some people you'd prefer to befriend/date/marry over others, right?. your criteria is probably not just money; you might care about physical characteristics, intelligence, character, etc. to the extent your

"interested" or "has access to"? most teenagers meet other teenagers in or through school, where they are rigidly separated by year in most activities. it's not surprising they date people exactly their age when tha

$40 in 2000 is about $65 in 2021 dollars. so if you pick that point of comparison, not much has changed. but IIRC, AAA games were already $60 by 2005, so compared against that, we are paying substantially less. at the same time, I really ha

backwards compatibility is a major reason why their APIs are so ugly. I always assumed that was a core company value. ironic that they turn around and break links to their own docs.

if true, this is kinda sad. I use a free utility that does this with my pc fans and lets me choose exactly what the margin is. how hard would this have been to add to nest?

it's not that weird. no one talks about raising taxes for the people who would see a net benefit from more public services.

I actually love the design of Craigslist. it works well enough for you to find what you're looking for (if it exists), but it does not invite you to linger afterwards.

a legacy codebase can be structurally resistant to being fixed. you're afraid to change things because there's no test coverage. okay let's add some automated tests. oops can't do that either because the whole thing is a

"I'm not advocating either position" sounds like you are referring to abortion and gun rights. I didn't read it as applying to the 3/5th compromise itself.

by leetcrew 5y ago
first of all, trading guns for abortion isn't much like the 3/5ths compromise to begin with; it's just wrapping two unrelated issues into the same deal. that doesn't seem more stable than compromising on the issues indiv
