It's nice that remote-only works well for SureSwift, but they're a early stage finance company. As such, they don't really need a ton of collaboration between internal employees. Many firms with similar internal dynamics (s

I think primary care should be more about the doctor using his knowledge of the patient's lifestyle, gained over time, as context for proper diagnosis and treatment. Empathy without competence is sort of pointless from a medical profe

It's been between 3.5x to 4.5x pretty much the entire history such data has been tracked in the USA, a bit over 100 years now.

US banks, overall, have the highest reserve ratio in recent history. US banks currently have a reserve ratio of nearly 100% or apx 1x leverage (see https://seekingalpha.com/article/2484795-u-s-banks-are-now-o... for m

IIRC, the "rule" was 4 years. And that's about what homes in the USA cost today (median home cost is apx 4.5x median household income).

The article's thesis is that building more housing does not reduce wealth inequality. Which makes sense. However, that's not why people are demanding more housing in places like San Francisco. They want more housing so that hou

It's amusing to contemplate whether it would actually be feasible to have a decent sized modern town in which horses, rather than cars, are the main form of transport. The big problems becomes dealing with the huge amount of horse wa

The economy already produces "everything people need" using 10% of the labor force in nations with industrialized economies. It's just that the standard of living would be at about 1970's levels. I know this sounds hard

Yes, but Ford has revenues of $160B and Toyota has revenues of $2,642B vs Tesla's $21B. More importantly, both Toyota and Ford are profitable. In fact, both Ford and Toyota have profits larger than Tesla's entire revenue stream.

Your request is, at its heart, a question about the definition of the word "torture". The pedestrian definition of "torture" as per the Merriam-Webster dictionary is: 1: the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, c

I think that is a good end. The definition of ending well. Such forums are, by definition, smaller and have less reach. Moreover, it is clear that members of such forums are supporters of the nastiness the forum espouses.

There isn't much agricultural land, if any, in cities and suburbs. In the US, land is taxed at the local level (municipality and county), not at the state or federal level.

Korea is even more strategically important to Koreans. And the Japanese have tried to invade or have invaded Korea multiple times.

The only objection to Amazon opening a facility in NYC was the tax breaks it got. Otherwise, no one in NYC would have cared much at all.

I imagine the primary weakness is the rather low energy density of li-ion batteries vs gasoline. This means less energy per kg of battery/fuel, which means lower power (speed/payload) or range or both.

You're using a different meaning for 'correct' than what people in finance mean in the context of exchange markets.

What does it even mean to "see trans people as valid"? What does it mean to see X group of people as valid or invalid? Honestly, I don't understand this statement.

Children getting slaughtered? Oh come on. The simple fact is that movies, music and video games are just not that important. That's why people don't get up in arms about restricted access.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that more advanced high school level math should be transformed into an exercise in memorization. They're talking about kids that are 7 or 8 years old memorizing their multiplication tables.

I don't think it is better to learn some shortcut algo at a young age. Memorizing your times tables up to say 10 * 10 or 12 * 12 is fundamental to understanding multiplication. Remember, the brain is not a turing machine, it's a
