   I'm an engineer on the Docs team at Stripe. Can you say more about where you're seeing the animation and what it looks like?

   If this were true, it would show up in drastically lowered revenue across many industries. That isn't the case. Here's a summary of revenue/share for the S&P 500 (from Standard & Poor's data): https://

   I've always much preferred using local variables to hold conditional fragments. Since React will safely ignore null/undefined, you can do: let child; if (someCondition) { child = <SomeComponent ... />; }

   ETFs represent an aggregation of many individual stocks, though, so money flowing into ETFs (indirectly) means money flowing into individual stocks.

   For the right company, you could also make a similar salary working remotely from an area with a lower cost of living.

   The USA and Spain are the only Western countries with decreases in their IHDI scores since 2010, and they are extremely small decreases. This data effectively disproves the statement "Standards of living have decreased in much of the U

   It's awfully reductionist to describe the whole of personal computing, the internet, and mobile phones as "Netflix in your pocket". I recognize that household income has stagnated and there's significant disparity in wea

   I've heard this argument before, but it's incredibly hard for me to buy it. The 50 years since 1970 have brought us the personal computer, the internet, and the mobile phone, each of which has entirely reshaped the world. That&#x2

    I'm not aware of any ops tooling that's built in JavaScript. (I'm sure it exists, but it's not popular.) When the article is referring to build tools, they likely mean transpilation/bundling systems like Babel and W

    There were literally rolling blackouts in CA last summer and the state came dangerously close again this summer. Edit: Not sure why everyone is assuming I'm saying Texas is somehow better. I'm well aware of the power grid problems

    This is a very broad statement. It's likely true in some cases, but access to food is wildly different depending on where you live and how much you make. Consider these individuals (not meant as an exhaustive list of archetypes): 1. A

    I hear this, but when I was a consultant, I found it difficult to take any time off. When I took time off, I wasn't billing, and when I wasn't billing I was leaving money on the table.

    That isn't how the immune system works. It's not a binary gate that's either open or closed. It's more like a war between two armies, and it depends on which side musters the larger army and how creatively the armies fig

    You can't make a direct comparison between a global pandemic and a normal year for influenza. In future years there won't be as many opportunities for people to be infected with Covid, further reducing the risk. I'm already b

    That's absurd. To the extent that hospitals are "overflowing," it's due to unvaccinated people, not people with breakthrough cases (the nonzero risk I mentioned). The context here is that somehow if kids get Covid it&#x2

    With apologies, I'll correct myself: flu kills hundreds, sometimes thousands of children per year. My point still stands, though: an equal or greater number of people under 18 are lost every year to influenza than have been lost to C

    Influenza kills thousands of people under 18 every year: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html We are actually _incredibly_ fortunate that Covid spares children to the degree that it does.

    I really just don't understand the hyperventilation about this stuff. At this point, the vast majority of elderly people are fully vaccinated, and breakthrough cases -- especially those resulting in severe illness or death -- are extre

    There is no data to this effect. There are some anecdotes from hospital staff saying they're seeing more kids now, but you might expect that given that adults are vaccinated. Until there is data that shows conclusively that Delta affec

    In case it wasn't apparent, it's useful to keep in mind that Tribune is very explicitly [0] a socialist magazine. That isn't to undermine the article's point -- which I largely agree with -- it's just critical to ke
