So, I have to ask: is it the nicotine, or the products of combustion? Because a lot of people are smoking cannabis, and I'm wondering how many of the harms of long term cigarette use will also manifest in them.

That last one ("hubris") I'm going to call out. Maybe the author means another word, for what he describes, but the actual "hubris" I'm seeing among my colleagues is the belief that lots of people out there don

There's evidence it could be regional. This would not surprise me given the differences in public social safety nets. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/4840766_Unions_and_...

Wouldn't the pitfalls generally be the same as the risks that labor unions would have to hampering efficiency and slowing innovation ? (Before I get downvoted, I'm not saying unions are evil, and that this always happens, just tha

My guess is, very low: it's a shared resource for multiple clients, hit multiple times per request, and should probably be on a sub 100ms basis tops with a few retries. Or it's a trick question: you should use shared connection po

I later found another good way of finding companies to check to see if they have any open roles: google “competitor to” or “alternative to” and a company name, to find similar companies. This cannot be understated. Having inside info on a

The game is a bait and switch. I followed the directions faithfully, and said that the ambulance was breaking the rule. But then it seemed to lower my score. Turns out I wasn't supposed to follow the rule, I was supposed to guess how

I'd say it works quite well here. The author is assuming disagreement on HN is some kind of failure. I don't see it that way at all, and sometimes even make comments on opposite sides of an issue within the same issue just because

The first footnote just turns me off: zero moderation means everything becomes 4Chan? How about the usual systems of vote ranking, reputation scores based on voting history to enable or disable posting power, etc? I think that a community c

Thing is, HVAC people rob you blind when you need emergency repairs to gas or oil furnaces in the middle of the season. If you have a heat pump as a backup, that can tide you over until you can get off season repair pricing again. That&#x27

I think the FCC is splitting unimportant hairs. All non-opt-in robo calls should be considered a criminal attack on the communications infrastructure. But of course, this is considered an important part of political campaigning, and probabl

I'm wagering that these people are just chronically under-slept, using higher amounts of coffee to compensate. The link between chronic poor sleep and dementia is well established.

Participation in prison labor significantly improved post-prison employment outcomes, but it yielded mixed results for prison misconduct and had little overall impact on recidivism. When we examined the extent to which prisoners participa

You're confounding a lot of issues here that I made no reference to at all. But suffice it to say, you seem to have a fundamental problem with people, as determined by a court of law to have broken the social contract (courts which cou

While I certainly would not support the abuses in the article, being required to work 5 days a week whether you want to or not is rehabilitative for many people who cannot hold down a job because they lack discipline and patience to appre

Can you explain this to me in even a rough estimate? My family of 4 spends $900 a month, and we do NOT price shop. I live in the metroplitan area of a major city, do NOT shop at discount stores, and even have higher meat bills due to religi

Maybe just rational behavior: very few people in the USA have experienced the kind of long-term calamitous change in fortune since the Great Depression. While many today may believe (with good reason) that it's harder to build wealth,

Because running a business is stressful and requires a certain amount of mental synchronicity/complementarity on mercilessly hard choices. Someone you discover you can do this with, you can of course handle easy low stress times with.

Or is it the lack of any cap on U.S. tort judgments?

Sure. And they can get their own lawyer, and you have to pay your own lawyer, and the case will likely settle for something, and at best you'll get only the fraction of their assets minus lawyer fees that isn't subject to seizure

That makes a lot of sense. What are the policies on underinsured motorist coverage minimums?

Do it. Then get personal liability for your net worth on top of it. The peace of mind knowing that no one can sue you for more than you're worth is priceless.

I wanted to fault them for this too, but it's an inescapable result. Liability premium costs always moves in lockstep with the rate of coverage, as it has to by probability laws for an insurance company to be viable.

Did you shop around? Ask the agent whether there may be discounts you could be eligible for that you haven't taken advantage of? If you've been accident free, your risk profile does diminish.

But as Jack Handy said, if you loan someone $100 and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

Mostly, but not exactly. Graeber would have probably identified a number of jobs in both Healthcare and teaching as BS jobs (e.g. pulmonologists who largely treat smokers who don't have good addiction support as duct tapers, or assista

This is subject to all of the usual caveats of survey-based self reporting. There are a lot of reasons people will not want to admit their jobs are bullshit until you get to know them personally. But among most of the people I know who did
