So glad I've found someone else who has this workflow. I spend probably 70% of my active coding time coding. The rest is using LLMs to keep making progress but give my brain a bit of a break while I recharge, being more supervisory wit

At the multinational level you never have to actually reshore anything. The corporation buys things, or you take loans at incredibly low interest rates using corporate assets as collateral. Using made up numbers, imagine you take out a $1M

It's bad enough to expect other people to change the way they communicate to make you feel better. It's another thing entirely when the way they're communicating is accurate and correct .

That may mean they're stupid but it still doesn't constitute bad faith. Do you know what "bad faith" means in this context?

The fact that someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're operating in bad faith.

"in the high cost of living areas" is the rest of that sentence. It is perfectly doable, even common, to buy a home in low and medium COL areas without any assistance from family, living or dead. The fact that you can't do th

You seem pretty defensive over me asking whether a word was used in the way I expect it was.

Is "inheritance" used in a different way here similar to how "award" is, or are you saying you often need to inherit money from your family in order to be able to buy a house in Australia?

Who wouldn't be a fan of 80% of the work for 100% of the pay? It's a built-in raise equal to or greater than what you'd get from changing jobs, without the switch in seniority or experience.

No reasonable person considered high school advanced education in the 70's let alone 2000. If 85%+ of people get it for half a century, it is by definition not advanced. https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads

Which order did these things happen in? Maybe industry and highways increase lead exposure which leads to crime, or maybe areas already high in crime are cheaper so that's where industry and highways go?

I get what you're saying, and I agree that's how it feels but that doesn't necessarily mean that's how it is . I guarantee you there are companies in the US right now paying their full-time employees who work 40+ hour

You do though. The sibling comment's LWN link shows that if you don't accept rides, the price you're offered for rides increases. Edit: I'd love for this to be another thing to add to the list of reasons why Uber sucks.

This isn't wage theft though, which is by definition an illegal act. This is just price discrimination on the supply side instead of the demand side.

by pc86 1y ago
It's a bidding system. If nobody accepts a ride at $X, the offered price increases to $Y. Does Uber have a responsibility to maximize its employees' (in the general sense, not getting into the employee/contractor distinction)

Japan specifically is extremely xenophobic, they actively discourage people from immigrating, they do not want foreigners there except as tourists. If you are not born in Japan, you can never become Japanese as far as the locals and the g

I don't think its as much "corroding society" as it is a symptom of scale and corporate consolidation. The mom and pop store making $200k/yr revenue selling physical goods gives regulars a deal because if their $100&#x2F

Why is this unfair? If driver A needs to be incentivized to drive, and Uber needs more drivers, they should have to pay more. If driver B is driving no matter what why would Uber pay them more if not for retention or something?

In the bottom right image, the top right do appear to be AKs with the stock removed. The top center could be as well but it's hard to tell with that angle and they might be RPKs as well. At least correctly differentiating between weste

Ask the same 10 people what "Emancipation Day" is and you'll have 7 or 8 people say the same thing even though it's not even an actual holiday.

Just because they didn't prioritize a feature that most of their users won't care about doesn't mean its a low bar, it just means you care about something they don't.

Ah yes that makes sense! I would think of that as more of a pre-workout filter? Where you select the equipment you have available and it automatically filters out everything that requires equipment you don't have access to.

Most of the time you can decide what you want to do. There are exceptions but for most capital expenses (which salary is not despite what proponents of this change would argue), you can choose to either deduct all of it or amortize it. It a

If you pay an employee to make a chair, you 100% deduct their salary, immediately. The chair is only a capital expense if you buy it from a company that sells chairs. The company selling the chairs isn't forced to amortize the salaries
