What food or equipment benefits exist for the average american remote worker? How much do you think is spent on the average worker’s ‘travel perks’ and gym memberships? The sum of the money spent on all non-healthcare benefits (aside from m

I’m surprised to see this post getting so much traction here. To me it reads as a bunch of wild speculation, written as if it were factual, with no real supporting evidence given. > Home ownership was a bubble that popped in 08. Health i

> Most benefits are unused and people prefer cash that they can spend on their own needs instead How did you come to this conclusion, and what do you mean by ‘unused’? I‘m guessing you mean that a majority of people receiving health care

Well the parent got it right in that r/wsb and r/wallstreetbets are literally two different subreddits. The former has a lot less volume but it nonetheless exists.

This is probably obvious but you're getting this kind of support because they're getting terrible PR by virtue of your post being at the top of HN. Not because he's such a great guy that cares so much about the customers. Not

I think it depends where you are driving. I live in a large city and there are way more people using maps for their daily activities that you might think. In my parents neighborhood in the suburbs, and in rural areas, I think you're pr

I can't believe how well google translates this. Is there something about Italian that lends itself to english translation or is translate getting this good with other languages too I wonder?

I grew up in a town with nearly double that in population, and if you didn’t have a car you were screwed. Barely any public transportation to speak of besides an inadequate amount of bus routes that ran far too infrequently. Most of the maj

Regardless of what car you’re in, you’re not going to be able to reliably tell the difference between a flac file and an mp3 with a reasonable bit rate (256+).

If its healthy during infancy why would it be unhealthy during adulthood?

Not only that, but fully hydrogenated oils are supposed to be quite bad for you. I think. It’s really hard to keep current on nutrition debates and “healthy” is a fairly nebulous concept when it comes to food.

I think it would be fine if the title just said "95% of our users prefer dark mode" rather than trying to generalize it to all people.

What sort of impurities are you concerned with? Are there many drugs that are psychoactive at such low (microgram) doses?

I mean this to come of in a non antagonistic way, but did you read the article? You seem to be refuting the title of the article without addressing any of the points made within it.

I was wondering the same. Also annoyed that an article about math/calculators called 120 and ~103 'nearly the same'... thats ~16% less!

I think it's pretty solidly established that an alcohol addiction is drastically more harmful than a nicotine addiction -- keeping in mind that we're talking about vaporized nicotine, not cigarettes. Your point about certain popul

So this person isn't allowed to object to the practice simply because it's been going on for a while? What is your point here?

by melq 7y ago
Anecdotal, and I have been out of school for 5 years or so, but I never once had a teacher or proctor clear the memory on my calculator. Also, storing notes on a TI calc is trivial, you don't need any programming knowledge to do so.
