You're discussing "markets" across countries, which had much more reason for adjustments to be made. Social services, taxes, and healthcare are all different. There is not necessarily free movement between countries, and larg

And hey, if you had started at Brex prior to Sept 1st, you wouldn't even have to game the system. But your coworkers _would_ (and would also likely be at risk of being terminated for cause if they got caught, not to mention state-tax i

I don't know if it's better or worse. As I said, there are many ways to think about it. I do think that explicitly creating 2 different classes of employees probably wouldn't even make it to my short list. As well, I don&#x27

I also suspect, but don't have evidence to back it up, that it will also further contribute to socioeconomic divides. You grew up in a wealthy neighborhood and decide to live close to family? Here is a pay package at X. You grew up in

I admit that, yes, it's more common for me. I felt comfortable calling it the "most common" on a wider scale based on a quick search for "helm" using the HN Search. At quick glance ~90% of "Helm" mentions

This title is extremely misleading and terrifying for a Friday night, since the most common "helm" tool is the Kubernetes one. To avoid further SRE/devops mini-heart-attacks the title should probably be updated.

This is, in my opinion, the most dangerous thing about CRDs, especially for resources that are not scoped the the cluster. It is way to easy to accidently delete something you need. PV's were my first experience dealing with this (a ch

Does that not have the impact of setting a precedent the next time that someone in the region is charged with the same thing? "Well, last time, the defendant was given 5 years. Therefore, a fair sentence is 5 years". Tacking a 5 y

1) If you're refinancing a loan, you do not pay off the old one until you have the new one. This is not only common sense, but typically before you get the new loan, you don't have funds to pay off the old one even if you wanted t

I don't particularly like the credit-card analogies I'm seeing around here. There is a big difference; a credit card is an open line of credit, which is not the case for these loans. After a credit card is paid off "in full&q

Property tax is really funny in the context of this conversation. You are paying a percentage of the _value of the house_, which you (have most likely) taken a loan to pay for. A given average person in the US (excluding high earners) will

The argument you'll get back though is that that 0.5% wealth tax will no longer impact you _at all_ if your asset value drops below $50M. A 0.5% wealth tax is not going to make you poor. It could, _at absolute worst_, make you worth &q
