We (I'm assuming you and I have jobs and aren't independently wealthy or multi millionaires) pay enough taxes, they just arent directed to libraries.

Nearly every book i'm trying to get from the library has a queue over 10 weeks long. Some are legitimately 18 weeks. Libby already automatically returns them even if downloaded locally and thats fine. The user experience has a lot to b

I've only recently started taking control of my breath (despite my parents suggesting I learn it in childhood). It is hard to imagine the impact when you're not doing it. When you start consider that you're going to try for a

as far as I know, "we" are not paving the world. The average person is not spending millions and millions on a marketing plan to bring these ideas into the american and then global imagination.

Because MBAs will always hold two items in tension: profit and user desire. If these two items are out of whack, an MBA will always favor profit and that too in incredibly creative, often marketing-based ways that rethink the business model

Interesting. I would disagree. They've shifted from supremely niche recommendations ("British murder mysteries during wwII") to everyone watching the entirety tiger king within the same 2 wk period and a coarse grain search f

I hear you but I also feel like this is already happening. Not only did everyone in this chain, for 2 years, say "its not my problem, I'll push it forward", when it had to be reviewed they did it secretly without recompense f

I'm not sure what this comment is steeped in beyond a lack of reading on the topic.

(Unless you're the one robbed of your 43 years or 2 years of life while continuously claiming - correctly - your innocence). Its beyond Kafkaesque.

Then really its a global problem we need to figure out. Every day on HN we have debates about the trading of privacy for data for a more secure world. This is an indication that our efforts are broken, because people. But also that those pe

Without dipping into this woman's specific situation; I wager the reason they get hostile is because it is continuously explained with studies that include quantitative analysis, qualitative, anecdotal, and longitudinal and yet somehow

Exactly! Thanks for sharing this. Currently the demand for higher wages is suddenly slightly more weighted towards the employee and yet McDonalds can pull out a three year timeline to get to $15 an hour, by which time inflation will make th

Restaurants that are not franchises have a 50% failure rate. Margins are intensely tight and the largest cost is labor, not food, spoilage, advertising, interior design, or whatever else. The central government and state government take lim

I agree with you. Abuse is a serious allegation and a traumatic experience. And yet there are so many levels and shades to abuse. Just like the errors we see in the products and programs we build. We have to ask if it was malicious, neglect

Condos are not advantageous to the owner. You're not building equity or able to borrow on the value, just ensure a very slow growth investment at risk of value destruction at the hands of the condo board.

Hopefully this is exactly what you're asking for. one of a series of changes. The bigger the change in a single effort, the faster it often dies. This one is already fairly large and what happens to rent will be important in the short

It seems like signing up for a job like being a police officer, and receiving a gun, riot training, interrogation and arrest techniques means that they should be able to handle this without escalating. Now if a cop was calling you those thi

I died. I love the idea of Chindian being the new word for Indo-Chinese. Am gonna try it out today. Also, agreed!, the food is definitely very indian and very delicious. Soy sauce might be the most Chinese thing about it.

I want to address the note about "biting off more than you can chew". This would have required ~1 year of reserves, full on, for every unit. Thats a lot to ask if we want a real estate market that is diverse and not feudalistic in
