I agree it's possible with some definition of crime, and I'd be interested to see what that definition is. I also think there's an interesting effect where it's possible for there to be less of some kinds of crimes in &

I'm familiar enough with Barron County, WI to doubt this. I grew up in neighboring Rusk County and my mother spends about half her time in Cumberland. While there are some disturbing incidents of violent crime, very few people there

Do you know more about the tax incentives in New Hampshire? I'm in Vermont, and wondering if there are established patterns that would work for our town. Edit: I'd love to hear from anyone elsewhere that offers such incentives as

I think you are seeing just how desperately many people want a "truth machine". Sure, LLM's are terrible for the purpose, but if you have nothing else, you cling to it with all your force. Instead of mocking them, pity them

Yeah, like everything else the moved to selling it as a separate (overpriced) dongle. This wasn't that bad, but now that they've removed the ethernet connectors also, you need both dongles connected in series, and you need to rem

I agree with your sentiment, but unfortunately it's become the common term to refer to a particular group of stocks. It was semi-ironically coined last year by a Bank of America analyst who was pointing out the risks of having such a

I think you misread him. He was said that the bus (ground transport) was $40, and that the train (Amtrak) was more than a plane. He didn't say how much the plane cost. Your $100 USD for a short flight is probably the low end of a reas

Assuming he did ask for $50K (and I have no idea if he did) it seems likely this would have been done over the phone or in person, rather than in an easy to copy email or text. If you are going to make questionable demands, doing it in a d

Thanks for the link, and sorry I forgot to check back quickly. Norfolk has since confirmed in a polite manner that the Baker Creek seeds included their patented GMO genes: Is NHP's Purple Tomato related to the "Purple Galaxy&quot

Lying to a co-worker about why you are buying the car doesn't strike you as sleazy? Is there a degree of misrepresentation where you'd agree, or do you feel that lying can never be sleazy?

A good article, and something that deserves more attention. One aspect that the article didn't cover (or possibly glossed over, or even got wrong) is that the interchange fees are not flat, but actually set per card. If you use a card

I see, your point was that the price of bacon at a Walmart cannot be that low because there are no Walmarts in the actual city of Boston? And you are implying that you answered "definitely" despite knowing that the price was corr

Others use it differently, but I think he was using "GP" to mean "grandparent", as in the comment you would get to if you clicked on "parent" twice starting at his comment. In that system, you would be the &qu

I think you've misinterpreted my tone. I was not trying to tell you how to speak, but rather how I view the issue. You are welcome to share your own view.

Thanks for clarifying. I think part of my confusion was that HN only has one moderator at this point. Also, I'd probably say "not always obvious" rather than "not transparent". While there is no public record of m

I'm not sure there is nothing to this theory, but it's definitely not as straightforward as it's presented here. Here's a decent article from last week that talks about why "money on the sidelines" is a myth:

Could you make your accusation more clearly? Are you saying it's 'dang' and 'pg'? One or two regular users abusing the flagging system? Or a couple dark and shadowy figures who have no public presence?

By contrast, I don't think this is a good idea. Popping up an alert that puts a human in the loop when the title is modified might be good, but automatically reverting seems bad. If the system is unhelpful on average, we should lobby

My impression is that these are simple regular expressions used to try to improve titles programmatically. On average, they probably make things better, but often enough they make things worse. You are a conscientious poster with good inst

Thanks! I'm familiar with time-of-use pricing. Growing up, we did get a better electric rate by having an electric water heater that was somehow radio controlled to only operate at certain hours. I'm not familiar with storage he

Generally there is no option to do this in a US residence. The drop to the house coming from the transformer only provides two single phase 120V to neutral circuits, which can be combined to provide 240V. Commercial and industrial sites w
