Homer's job is a joke about nuclear safety being really bad.

Roseanne works at least part time right? At least in some seasons she worked as a waiter and at a factory where her boss was George Clooney.

It's still unsecured because there is nothing they can repossess. My guess that--without discriminating on a person by person basis--8% is pretty fair. I certainly wouldn't loan 20 year olds 90k dollars for only 8% return. The re

Savings account (which is measured in that link) is different than savings. It wouldn't account for money in a checking account or other investments. Holding sbustnaitail money in a savings account is pretty dumb with interest rates b

Right. Obviously, you can't value every stream as a loss of of face value price. But its not 0% of face value either. And a lot of piracy battle is to ensure the movie/tv industry does get "Napstered." Napster annihila

On one single movie, no, but the expected revenue for a movie informs their negotiations (and the demand for their services). The reason high tens of millions of dollars are spend on VX for blockbusters is because they make a lot of revenue

Globalization is a factor too. Doesn't matter if Ford workers are 200% more productive when Mexican workers are 30% of the cost at similar productivity levels.

That should definitely be a factor considered, especially in any area where a doctor shortage could occur. But a month sounds like a long time for <35 years olds in good health.

I'm pretty shocked staff in supermarket employees aren't required to wear masks in London. But this isn't really true: "One staff member with covid will rapidly infect a few 1000 people given how busy they are on a Satur

I'm not even sure this formula is WRONG. It's just not great for morale. Residents are generally under 34 and in good heath. In the USA, only ~2400 people 34 have died from COVID--and that is mostly people with comorbidites. In c

I'm going to make an educated guess and say that there isn't a ton of overlap between people who will refuse a vaccine and people who will voluntarily submit to continuous testing. Maybe I'm underestimating how fast they can

>Given that it will be at least 6-9 months before an appreciable fraction of the population can be vaccinated, frequent testing still makes a whole lot of sense. What makes you think we can ramp up production on these faster than that? Y

Maybe a year ago this would have been worth it. But the resources should be used for mass vaccination instead.

Despite people complaining about how draconian DMCA take down notices are, the DMCA safe harbor is incredibly generous. Service providers have no affirmative duty to police user uploaded content unless they have actual knowledge of infring

There is a huge chasm between absolutely necessary for society not to fall apart and "bs." A lot of laid off people do is worthwhile/nice-to-have/useful. And a lot of necessary things are being skipped for a limited time

Just look early 2020 for an example. Should Youtube have taken down videos saying face masks were effective given the CDC said they weren't? Should Youtube have taken down videos about Li Wenliang. After all, there was no new SARS pro

Depends what you mean by decent. I've got a 200 dollar router that can get 800 with essentially line of sight. 600 in the new room. But I have to rely on wireline to connect the other half of my apartment. And I'm probably still i

I also moved from near gigabit to ~200 Mbps. Can't tell any difference at all for download. But going to 20 Mpbs upload is somewhat annoying. I think something like 50/50 or 100/100 Mbps is much more important than gigabit.

Arguably, the media's role is to stress test claims made by the government. They certainly do it for the trump admin. Though I wonder if they'll do it for the Biden admin. I wouldn't say it's their fault. But still in

Even if they meant Russian hacking influenced people enough to flips 70k votes, that's still unsupported conjecture worded in way that strongly implies actual hacking of votes. Calling it 70k votes makes it sound small, but its more li

In America they definitely do that, especially the less responsibilities the employee has. That's why Netflix or Goldman Sachs can give unlimited time off and its rarely abused. But if Walmart did it, their employees would take off 5

One factor that doesn’t seem to be considered is cost of labor. American technical labors aren’t cheap.

No, otherwise you'd seem them in areas with high racial strife. It's a way of allowing rich limousine liberals to get security guards with guns, while denying the common person the same right.

My theory is that culturally enforced typing is self perpetuating due to a collective action problem. I would absolutely stop tipping, but all I'd be doing is screwing a waiter out of their pay. The only way to end it, is if we all col
