What other notion of year would people use? There's clearly a repeating cycle of that takes approximately 360 days. The seasons cycle, the stars come back to their same spots. I don't think there is any evidence that ancient peopl

I'm curious, why didn't you click on the filename after it has been selected? That initiates rename on both Finder and Explorer, as well as other applications that edit that sort of text. (Except not OpenOffice's spreadsheet

I think if you leave Finder with the defaults (icon view) it still does this. I think if you change the view, say, to list view, Finder may apply that view to all folders you haven't specifically chosen a view type for. I think if you

GP didn't say "end workplace sexism/racism", they said "end perceived workplace sexism/racism". The former could (arguably) have a definition of when we have arrived at this condition. The latter can nev

I think you really need some sources if you're going to accuse someone, otherwise you're just spouting baseless accusations (at best), which do not improve either the target or the conversation. IANAL but this looks pretty close t

There was an article posted to HN recently that went into detail on the evidence contained within the virus itself, that it has features not consistent with natural processes. However, it wasn't secretly created, it was created (in par

There was an article posted recently on HN with no discussion that outlined the evidence for the various theories, and had pretty solid evidence for the leak theory (assuming they didn't omit evidence for the other theories): https:&

E = mc^2 implies that mass (m) is being converted to energy (E), and a windup toy car is definitely not converting mass to energy. Windup cars get their energy from torsional springs, which are E = (1/2) k theta^2.

We won't know for a hundred years how many of the books that will be published in 2021 will be notable enough in 2121 to be on the 2021_in_literature wikipedia page.

How diverse are the experiences you are generalizing from? Companies are different, so you'll need to sample from lots of different ones. You can also try talking to your manager about what your career goals are and what needs to chang

That's a pretty zero-sum outlook on giving back. Another way of looking at it is that people invested in us before we had any potential (parents and teachers, at the very least), the Yamauchi family wants to do the same for others. The

Strictly speaking the problem isn't that the kid is expensive, it is that, per your two options, 1) childcare is expensive, and 2) London / their spending habits are too expensive to support a stay-at-home parent. There are lots o

I agree with the other comments that you need to do something, but I'm going to disagree with that you should jump to divorce as the first step. You haven't said what you have already tried, so I suggest: 1) telling her how you fe

That's only a P/E of 17.2, which is not all that high. Schwab has a P/E of 31.3. Walmart has a P/E of 28.6, Coca-Cola has 29.3, Apple has 33.4, Visa has 44.8. If anything I'd say that the market considers Robinhood

At my first company, in order to commit anything we had to get someone else on the team to sit down with us and we'd have to go over the diffs with them and walk them through the changes and why. Incredibly annoying, but a great way to

This is a great example of why I figured Google Maps for navigation. I don't use Maps to express my environmental values, I use it to get from A to B the fastest way. If they default to something else, they are actively getting in the

The problem with integration is that it is more efficient until there's a problem, at which point it can be catastrophic. The one boat held up 300 other ones, and while 6 days probably isn't a huge problem, suppose the country you
