This is a false dichotomy. You can be critical and do so respectfully and within the company. Damaging your employer should be the last resort. Cutting off your limb to stop an infection isn't inherently _bad_. But it is if other treat

The CDC recommends this 90 day window because a "positive" test result is more likely to be due to your previous illness than a new infection. Therefore, testing is useless because it gives you no useful information [1] > for a

No. It was a 100% gender thing. Notice that the comment never mentioned that men shouldn't divorce because they are past their 20s when they should be finding a wife. Notice that the comment never mentions that high-quality women would

What about a situation where one party wants to make it work and the other doesn't? In your example, your ankle is under your control - if you want to exercise it, you can. Your ankle doesn't actively sabotage your body (or if it

Fair enough. I was not responding to GP - only the parent who asked: > I often see this “half” income lost to taxes figure on HN and it often doesn’t stand up to scrutiny Elsewhere on HN, many people do use their marginal tax rate (and d

I disagree here. Quite frankly, I don't pay any attention to what my effective tax rate is. It is only brought up when debating politics - it has no bearing on my everyday decisions. Parent poster asked why people talk about 50% tax ra

The marginal tax rate can be ~50% for many high-income earners in CA. If you make ~550k, you would be paying 37% to federal and 11-12% to state. Therefore, when thinking about increasing/decreasing my earnings at that margin (raises, c

No. If you had a limit buy, Robinhood would never exceed your limit. Period. That would be highly illegal. This is more like you want to buy something at 100. Robinhood then goes to the market and looks at all the vendors. The vendors are s

AV1 is an open codec that I hope will be the industry standard soon. It already has the support of the ecosystem (apple, google, qualcomm, netflix, etc). Unfortunately, it just takes a while to build that momentum So there is light at the e

I agree that there is a fine line here. In general, if I hear "withering e-mail" without context, I imagine an e-mail sent between two parties (or at most, a handful) where one party is cutting down the other directly. When I hear

It's acceptable to "degrade" a protocol that is only used as a fallback on broken networks if the new protocol is better for your use-case and is available to 99% of users. Nobody is trying to make v3 "look better."
