non-citizen workers get the same benefits as citizens when it comes to social security. however, most are not work here long enough to acquire enough credits to be worth much. members of my family are Canadian citizens and collect US SS ben

interesting to me how the western world has created such a "great" society, we are all afraid or unwilling to bring children into.

as an owner of multiple toyota's and a member of the related forums... i can say that toyota dealers' service departments can be hit or miss, but toyota does listen to customer complaints and takes them very seriously(personal exp

I’d say that’s a company culture thing, not a German thing. I lived and worked in Austria and my teams in Austria and Germany were both willing to work extra and on holidays when needed.

Well it appears to have done a number on you but myself and many others really enjoy it and would never go back to an office. Not sure I’d assume my own experience should speak for everyone else’s. But I run a remote first team and have wor

please provide scientific proof of these claims. i know many successful potheads that do not have any of those issues.

cannabis is already "normal". i think rather people are cheering for freedom to choose to do or not do it, in the land of the free. you know that stuff we are always promised?

its ~$1 if you do them in bulk.

In states where cannabis is legal, testing is going out the window. More then anything i would guess it is to stay competitive and to get rid of archaic policies this country appears to be moving away from. i think most US citizens now live

I’m currently being effected by this. Housing is up at least 30% in the last year locally, and I am expecting a new member of my family soon, so more space is surely needed but dang if it’s not hard to look at current pricing.

Hmmm. Certainly questionable ethically and shady. But isn’t that the kind of activity/decisions a lot of SV runs in lately?

One of the problems with acquiring e-commerce business is that most of them are not very well ran. Most do not even know their COGS or margins, thus making them horrible acquiring targets because you don’t know what you are buying. Might wo

its very similar. now, as was then, people are investing in tech they don't understand and in some cases tech that may not even be buildable. :x

Re: coil.com, what they do is entirely possible on a centralized system. cam sites have been using token based internal payment systems based on minutes viewed, tips, etc at sub $0.01 levels for 20+ years now. and until the tubes came along

They should be paid relative to the value their skill set provides the employer. Not all employees are equal.

Except in this case the PUD are not for profit and do not have a monopoly. So they are forced to compete. Sad that so many public utilities have screwed up so bad and ruined the idea for the rest. The customer service at the local PUDs are

Not sure they are comparable as they serve very different needs.

Well that’s one purpose of php. My workloads involve billions of php executions daily that have nothing to do with http or Apache or serving pages. Lambda and cli based jobs mainly. PHP can do a lot of things if you stick with it and don’t

As a resident of Chelan county, I can attest, muni broadband is a great idea! It has allowed me to live the lifestyle I choose, where I choose. I’ve had <$80/mnth 1G fiber for years now.

For many years the county wide intranets were faster than any connection they had to the internet. Some of the business around town had crazy fast speeds between sites but the internet was still slow. I think once the DCs moved in, that all

In chelan and Douglas counties, the PUD essentially owns the fiber networks as well as the power networks, but they are only allowed to sell power directly. For broadband I have to go through another provider, I’ve always thought this was s

gold was just an example used, because the BTC fans like to compare the two. but you are right, gold isnt overly tradable either, since it has very little day to day use. my point was just that BTC would still be useless as it cant be trade

good point! a working still would probably be useful as well.

it wouldn't even take a global internet shortage, just your country to go offline, how you gonna pay someone to get you out(keep you safe, etc) if you cant transfer your crypto to them? A few ounces of gold on the other hand will take

do you really think if the sh*t hit the fan? the entire BTC network and the internet at large would still be working for you to transfer these units around? this to me is where the comparison to gold falls off. i can hold physical gold and

Possibly their corporate structure. Too many personalities working for their own good rather then the good of the whole.

The same way you change any other service provider. You find another vendor or renegotiate. The people will vote to instruct their officials to do so. Pretty straightforward.
