If a factory closes down, the following layoffs allow the person to get back on their feet without the help of their employer. Removing this option leaves the employer with 100% of the leverage (without a union, anyway).

That doesn’t sound like it would allow the employee to even apply for unemployment.... dirty.

Both YIMBYs (who argue for affordable housing) and PHIMBYs (who argue for public housing) make an excellent case for high-density housing. This is a prerequisite for modern cities. Also: cars ruin cities.

Exactly the inspiration for my post! I had thought the take away from that was “use the global standard units” rather than “double down on american-unique units”.

My point is none of the engineering classes I ever took allowed the use of imperial units because they wanted their students to be employable. Is this a new paradigm or did I just have a very unusual experience?

They specified the engine in terms of lbf. Why don't they use metric? I realize that imperial units are used colloquially in the US but surely that doesn't extend to actual engineering!

The advice is fine, but it comes off as disingenuous to extrapolate a single anecdotal example so confidently without articulating the basis for your confidence.

Ack, it autocorrected from “dedupe”. Also, you are referring to an orthogonal problem—you would presumably want to put magic constants into a static constant to reduce the chances of disagreement across references. Hell even if there’s a si
