Out of curiosity, the statutory hourly rate times what? Is there a limit on the number of billable hours that can entail? The cost of the "best lawyers" doesn't (always/just) mean paying one lawyer an exorbitant amount,

I think "WB coding is a skill like any other" is exactly the point. It's a skill that does not really apply to the day-to-day work of most programmers though, so using WB coding as a criterion favors those who have the time t

I'm guessing you're in the UK? In most (all?) of the US "Dirt" and "Soil" are used interchangeably in casual conversation, with "Dirt" actually being the more common. "Soil" is only more com

That all makes sense. There are some kinds of TV/movies where viewing is more mentally engaging. Mysteries, deep sci-fi or documentaries, anything where you are imagining and/or trying to understand aspects outside of the audio-vi

I've always thought that the the difference may actually be the reverse, in the fact that reading provides less information (and requires less input processing). The reader has to fill in all the gaps using their imagination, which see

I would generally agree with your second point; without a fundamental change in our understanding of physics, interstellar travel is unlikely. But I don’t really follow the logic of your first point, earth is just one of many bodies in spa

Unfortunately, even with the clarified wording this explanation doesn’t say what I think it’s intended to. All the material in the repo is under copyright. A work licensed under the GPL is still under copyright, and the granting and enforce

You can do any kind of work without pay and you don't get taxed. If you do nothing all day but are paid for it, you still get taxed. Income tax taxes income, not work. I think the point Kalium was trying to make is that it's not p

Fair enough. I was extending your argument to the National level, as this same issue is playing out with slight variations in many of the major metro areas in the US. I’m on the East Coast, so I’m not familiar with the particulars of the lo

By that logic we should abandon all minimum wage and employee rights laws. People wouldn't do the jobs unless the pay and conditions were acceptable, so it would resolve itself one way or the other right? The unfortunate reality is tha

That really only seems to apply to livestock farmers. It seems more likely that it has to do with the all encompassing nature of that kind of life. A farm is a business, home, career, lifestyle, and culture. If something so central to who y

A family farm is a bit more than a business though. It's someones career, skill set, home, upbringing, lifestyle and local culture. It's all encompassing in a way that differs from most other businesses and careers. How do you rec

I'd disagree that AAA has to do with mass appeal, as the industry uses that term to distinguish games in terms of development and marketing budgeting, not target audience. Many AAA games are specifically targeted at only the hardcore &

But what determines when one meets opportunity? I feel like that statement is just saying that things are always partly meritocratic. Yes, you have to be skilled and prepared to take the best advantage of opportunities, but how does one g
