Say you're laying rail track. It will be used for 50+ years. Better to lay it once, relatively slowly, and well than to do a shoddy quick job and have to repair it every 5 years. Perhaps another argument for the plodding, methodical 55

Where the heck are eggs 75 cents for a dozen? Even buying directly from farms in the rural south eggs were at least $2 per dozen and that was a steal.

I don't think we should want good people to stop working for Facebook. That never made sense to me. Facebook isn't going anywhere, and as such it should be improved, and the only way that will happen is if good people keep going t

Your comment makes no sense. Building more housing means that housing costs will go down, making it way more likely that you WILL "be able to afford a single family home -- the American dream when you settle down..."

I'm so glad I went to high school, it was really tough but I don't think I, or the vast majority of 13, 14, 15, or 16 year olds would be mature enough to take full advantage of college. High school isn't just about learning t

But those numbers don't account for severe disease, hospitalization, and death which are the whole point of the vaccines. You're latching onto this dramatic exchange because of some stupid idea that vaccines are this magic shield

Just speculating (I work at a FAANG) – a lot of "software engineering" at these big tech companies is just centering divs and refactoring code – you don't need a 10xer to do that stuff.

This is a vastly overgeneralized statement. Where I went to college [in the US] was much more than a "part time job" and academic rigor was incredibly high. It was not uncommon for students to work 60-80 hours a week.

Hmmm so they haven't even built the prototype yet, and it won't be built for another year, it won't be installed for another 2 years, and they won't start actual commercial production of these things for another 3 years.

Hard to write if you're working 80 hours a week at a restaurant. Yes, that is a realistic amount of time for someone at a restaurant to work before you say "just work part time and survive on $200 a week".
