It's working out great for the communist governments of Quebec and Washington State. The communists in Norway also seem to be doing ok.

Yeah, you hid the salary and got applications from people who would have passed if it had been available. Congratulations, deception and trickery get leads. Candidates is a red herring. What was the quality of the actual hires from one bran

Below, you're doubling down on the "monolith == 1 server" point. You should do a bit of research before you continue, the word doesn't mean what you think it means.

It's not undeniable. Dark roasts are much more difficult to get right and be consistent with. Many roasters can't do it, so they're happy to promote the idea that people who like dark roasts are coffee dilettantes. To me, it&

My kid was enamored by math from the earliest age, and pretty good at it too. He read proofs for fun at about age 6, and was writing them for fun by 7. Calculation seemed to come pretty easy to him as well. But he is slow! He did a bunch of

It's also solidly what HN calls a "middlebrow dismissal."

In case it doesn't jump out to someone (it didn't to me), one of the authors (Shriram Krishnamurthi) is also an author of HtDP. I cottoned onto this because in the appendix describing differences with HtDP the authors describe ide

Unionizing is pure free market. Workers are holders and sellers of labour (which free market advocates typically class as a commodity). They bargain for the best contract in exchange for that labour. Why is a worker's optimization of t

Your feedback was literally, "I don't like you because you're not doing the thing that <company that's kicking everybody to the curb> is doing." Ironic is exactly the word for your feedback.

Companies aren't people, legal fictions aside. They're machines with a fitness function which minimizes a dollar/production function. They can't have "common sense".

Since taking up management, I've taken increasingly tiny, dilute concentrations of productivity. I believe my work "remembers" the productivity even though the dose is too small to detect, and helps my body and mind to resist

From reading the site it seems like Kagi uses Google on the backend, so it's probably privacy, filtering and presentation you're paying for.

So don't put them up on Facebook. We're talking about keeping a copy of your own contract .

While I agree value has been destroyed, rents should fall as a result of lower property values, and tenant companies will have more money to deploy to their businesses as a result. A net negative to the economy to be sure, but (literal) ren

Good question. I haven't read it, but the statistics come from this book: https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/books/the-other-... . They probably outline their methodology.

Your parent was speaking to people who think that caste matters, the Indian Archie Bunkers I suppose.

According to Wikipedia, 1.5% of Indian immigrants to the USA are Dalit. 90% are the high castes. That is interesting coincidence to your quoted statistic of 90% thinking this is a minor problem or no problem at all.

Your parent obviously knows the definition of "infinite", pedantry isn't helpful. We ran out of $15 oil quite some time ago. That was not the same as running out of oil. "Economically viable" is not a static target.

I suspect you're worth much more than you're telling yourself if you're carrying your team. There's lots of good advice in this thread about how to proceed if that's the case (which is 90% probable). But, I guess th

If you lock in both your costs and your profits, it's the opposite of speculation.

Why? Wouldn't a farmer just buy the futures contract (or an option on it), then liquidate and use the profit to offset the loss on the spot purchase? I was under the impression that hedgers never take delivery.

There's a shortage of primary care, family doctors in Canada, but that's a systemic issue resulting from a skewed payment system that undervalues family medicine. The result is some difficulty getting a family doctor after you lea
