in aggregate, the spending power of the world’s fraudsters does inflate the cost of many of life’s luxuries to be outside the reach of more and more people.

Thinking, which is a word we should also ban because it is a list. Instead you should use the word “feel” Unless of course that is ableist against us autists.

I’m also from South America and my observation is that it’s not an issue for almost all people. The only people that I’ve ever seen make it an “issue” do so to try and be pompous to some gringo. They don’t really care. It’s meaningless flex

Funny you mention this because it reminds me of the time I pointed out that Chief Seattle owned slaves and committed a genocide against the Chimmicum people. I forgot the context in which I made this observation but the truth is that the ov

Who is going to debug this code when it is wrong? Whether 95% or 99.9% correct, when there is a serious bug, you're still going to need people that can fix the gap between almost correct and actually correct.

This is why I ask questions in a business domain. It requires the programmer to think not only about solving a straightforward clear problem and only worry about Big-O. Instead they need to figure out the problem by asking thoughtful questi

Imagine how far they travel when trying to stop. I guess you would have the power to run the engines in reverse at full power too.

I would go further with your idea. You should have all I/O separated and in on place. UI is just a special case of I/O for apps. In services you also want to keep all RPC handlers in on place (or any interface with which others in

I would go a step further and say it’s a feature and not a bug. There are no robust ecosystems in nature where there is equality between all members of that system. The most robust ecosystems are those where you have the greatest diversity

On the other hand, defining the benefits based on the last few years, leads to employees taking every overtime opportunity for the last few years to inflate their retirement benefits. Overtime absolutely should be excluded for the calculus

I wish all the “record profits” reports were in real terms and not nominal terms, which are impossible to evaluate objectively, especially in a high inflation environment.

It’s hardly a conspiracy theory. Pretty much everyone that has the ear of the FED has an investment portfolio and are going to be pushing positions that control costs in those portfolios, one of which is labor.

Do those jobs really pay less when you take into account pension benefits? Pension benefits are worth a LOT and continue to increase in value as people are living longer.

If I have “enough money” then the institutional investors certainly do. I’ll gladly take more money than I need and give it to my family who aren’t fortunate enough to earn tech salaries and yet have “enough money”

Every time I get asked to give my size for a piece of swag, I tell them that the only “swag” I want with the company’s name on it as shares. Everything else is worthless and wasteful.

They essentially are. The presidential candidate hires them to make their candidacy more appealing to voters. The whole ticket is voted in, but the vice president is effectively hired onto the ticket by the presidential candidate.

There exists a policy that avoids hypocrisy: reciprocity. Treat the EU companies the way the EU treats American companies and treat Chinese companies the way China treats American companies. China doesn't give American social media com

I have mixed feelings about unformed delivery as I don’t think government should have scanned copies of all the mail you get. It’s as personal as when we decided that your video rental history was. https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Do they choose names that are Brahmin or generic names that can't be associated with caste, including non-Indian names? If the latter, is it reasonable to assume that Brahmins in power are likely not only discriminating against those w

I wonder also if there is an obligation to finish construction in a certain time frame. If not you could draw up grandiose plans with an architect and after you get the permit you just build part of it immediately and start living in that p

It's not just building enough homes. The cost of building has gone up a ton as well. The median age of a home in the US is 37 years, which means 50% of homes were built before 1985. Compare building codes from before 1985 and 2022 and

As an expert in a particular area, this is exactly what I want. Even the same total comp and benefits but half the hours would be good. If I could do one week on and one week off or two weeks on and two weeks off that would be awesome.

I thought high CO2 levels in blood induce panic? It was my understanding that the reflex that causes us to want to breath are not based on a lack of oxygen but a buildup of CO2. CO on the other hand doesn’t have this impact and you pass awa

This. When you feed bears, you get problem bears. The National Parks system knows this, but cities like SF and Seattle do not.
