Tbh looks like you guys have chosen the third path: neither build the website nor ladle the soup but complain about which of the two things people are doing.

The way it was done in the past is by being ridiculously stronger than the other participant. So you let your Pakistani or Iraqi counterpart make a big show to appear strong to their people and you do nothing because you still have them und

Without judgment I find it amusing that these arguments rapidly converge to ones used by the participants on subreddits for shoplifting and stealing. I'm not saying the acts are equivalent, just that the positions are. It also feels li

As far as I know Sonic's fibre has never had any caps. I for one have never hit them.

Yeah but the prey for blackhats numbers in the billions. There is an abundance upon which they can gorge.

We will know when we finally enable the carbon tax on everything. Just set a total cap per unit area and then set the tax per tonne so total emissions are near that. Then we'll see if it's actually worth more than 2% since we&#x27

What's really disappointing is the degree to which we subsidize the incredible climate costs of non-urban people. When the carbon taxes are finally required, rural Americans will learn just how much they've been externalizing. Our

Anecdotally, traffic on the main street by my home looks normal, judging by what I can see out my window in SF. Had a motorcade go by just now but apart from that.

Yeah, but let's be honest. Most users don't want a specific app. They want functionality. They'll pay for functionality in a React App while eschewing a native app without the functionality. The practice of this means solving

Pretty much any poor country. In all of South Asia all enforcement officers (of any level of enforcement on any thing) above a certain seniority will be wealthy well beyond their income.

Loads of SF streets are hyper industrial and have no trees. It's strange what an effect it has. Walking through SOMA feels weirdly like being in a concrete video game. Walking through my neighbourhood in Glen Park is lovely and charmin

All right, that's a fair complaint about the externalities. I will sign documentation excluding the need for cover in the shared medical system and commit $150k to disposal of my body should I die. The amount is negotiable to release y

Listen, I have a graduate degree in Mathematics, so a mistake like that was inevitable, especially because I was trying to be careful about it. That changes everything! The full-bore user is only $30 over the non-user. I have completely c

It kinda seems blogspammy, true, but 'cum' is common, right? The most typical use in US official stuff is announcing the history of someone and they say "magna cum laude".

Reducing a word like that to simply a definition which barely covers its complexity is problematic.

Norway's runs pretty well, powered by excellent stewardship of their sovereign wealth fund. Everyone needs work yeah, but a lot of work, I don't know.

Haha, my man, I have to admit that is pretty weird. I don't imagine anyone would like that. Haha, it's like the pope or something.

There's 12 people. To be honest, you can always construct a set of characteristics that are under-represented in such a group. Go ahead and pick 12 people and I'll pick the characteristics that aren't represented in proportio

Is it true, though, about those 29 having diverse boards? Working class folks don't necessarily vote in working class folks.

I'm pretty sure Bill Gates is worshipped for more than his wealth. Growing up, he was the stereotypical wunderkind and people would say about smart kids "going to be the next Bill Gates". Come on, I was there to type in Micro

Two of the most popular superheroes of today are Iron Man and Batman. They are literally just rich dudes in rich dude toys. They are the heroes of the story. Professor Xavier is wealthy af. And he doesn't go around helping just anyone.

The best way to do data is (connection_fee + usage/MB). That's the most customer-friendly way to do things. It allows customers to alter their usage according to their billing ability. Fixed line usage is probably in the decicents

The real problem is the nanny state approach that gates all innovation. If thousands die because you're too slow, it's considered just a mistake, not a fundamental policy error. Leave your people be. Set up an 'accredited inv

Then you'll know because I volunteered for it. And I know I won't die because it's already safe enough to fight malaria. But maybe you don't know that. That's fine. I do. Let me arbitrage my knowledge.
