mv aman is a 100m ship. any company owning that is kinda stretching the term "mom and pop".

more likely, have TAs write the variations while paying them the state minimum wage. arguably a feature if that means you need to hire TAs. a lot of students need work-study as part of their financial aid package.

I have to wonder how well that analysis code works in practice. for a lot of intro-level (and some mid-level) course assignments, there's only one or two straightforward ways to write the code. sometimes these assignments are just past

cheating was absolutely rampant when I was in college getting my CS degree. and that was with tests taken in person with the professor in the room! I'm sure students are even more brazen when all assignments are done at home. I think a

pants can usually be reworn 2-3 times. occasionally a shirt can be reworn if it was only used for part of a day. this might require an unusually clean child. as a single adult, I do laundry on a two week cycle. and that's driven more b

the city school system is indeed abysmal by pretty much any metric you could choose to evaluate (test scores, high school graduation rate, violent incidents, odds of imprisonment, etc). I'm familiar with the argument that the cohort of

in my social circle, the number one reason why families leave the city is the abysmal public school system. it's not a big deal to the wealthier families, since they can just send their children to private schools. middle income famili

to be fair, "what amount of work is considered enough" is still an issue with the traditional PTO setup. following the HR manual to a T is not sufficient to keep a job if you never finish anything. I do prefer the traditional accr

you probably can't become destitute and homeless if you're the son of a US president, but you can certainly squander your well above average chance of also becoming president.

at the very least, it's a strong null hypothesis due to opportunity costs.

it's a highly politicized plane unfortunately. as an interested layman, I've read persuasive arguments that the plane is DOA, an utter failure. I've also read just as persuasive arguments that the plane is a technological mas

you are strawmanning me a bit. > people who don't elect a bunch of extra risk I'm not talking about preexisting conditions. I'm talking about conscious choices people make that increase their risk level. I'm not tel

yes, that is exactly what I'm arguing. if everyone pays into a pool without any risk adjustment, that is effectively a subsidy to the risk-takers. I think that is a more fair way to understand rayiner's objection to "subsidie

pure speculation on my part, but I also suspect the people at valve have simply never liked counterstrike. they didn't come up with the core gameplay (nor did they design the most popular maps), and compared against the rest of the val

I think it's actually fine to charge higher premiums to people who take significantly greater risks than the average person. we already do this with car insurance for people who drive certain models, have been in at-fault collisions, h

so for one thing, it really depends whether "great" means "loud" to you. I personally find the levels in most theaters to be uncomfortably loud, but maybe I'm just lame. unless you need to feel the floor shake, it&#

that could be the bitrate more than the resolution. streams are highly compressed. would be interesting to see whether you prefer 1080p bluray over a 4k netflix stream (I suspect yes).

some banks have a minimum age for authorized users of a card (usually 13 or 16). some don't have this requirement.

perhaps a poor choice of link. it's just the first example I thought of where the combo of cards is better than the sum of its parts, which kinda depends on them all being from the same issuer.

your credit score benefits from having a history of managing more than one line of credit. it's debatable how much opening a bunch of credit cards helps with this (in the short term, it actually hurts). ideally you would have a mix of

five cards with one bank would be pretty uncommon, not sure why you would do this. but there are certain combinations of credit cards from the same bank that have a synergistic effect with rewards/benefits. for example, assembling the
