When using their thumb to press, how often are right handed people using their right hand versus their left hand to hold the phone? I'm right handed and almost always am using my right hand, but the image in the article looks like the left

Using location based salary comparison sites is broken if the job is for remote not onsite work. If hackers in NYC are paid $150k, and Philly $80k, neither of those numbers matter. What you want is the going rate for remote-working English

Your profit sharing program does not answer rscale's question, it compounds it, since you also reduce profit sharing by cost of living.

My understanding is that most tax incidence economists believe the corporate income tax is primarily born by shareholders. Sure it's a very complicated issue, but if you pin it on one party then shareholders is the least inaccurate.

Warren's real federal tax rate on 99% of his income: 59% A portfolio company makes $1 in income. Without any taxes, Warren could put $1 in his pocket if he wished. Instead the portfolio company (Wells Fargo) pays 33% taxes, then the holding

Three major problems with this study: First, it omits estate (inheritance) taxes. Second, the use of the federal itemized deduction offset is very misleading, given that the deduction's purpose is to avoid double taxation in the first place

If Warren owned 100% of Berkshire would you still think it's unfair to consider what Berkshire pays in taxes a tax on Warren? Then why is it not fair to consider it on a percentage basis like I have? The owners of corporations are the peopl

Warren is omitting very crucial information and knowingly deceiving most people. He's pretending he doesn't pay very many taxes, but he does, he just pays different taxes. In this article he mentions capital gains, income, and payroll taxes

I think your assumption is wrong that the FTC will only block these sorts of deals if a company has a monopoly. I think they actually have rules they generally follow about how big a company they'll allow given the number and size of other

For the record, I'm still undecided whether slice is a good idea. Thanks for calling it cool and elegant though :) You can use slice for just the clojure/html/js and do the css separately. Or you can use enlive+html and slice for clojure/js

While I don't doubt Clojure 1.3 can get similar performance to Java, that's not what this benchmark shows. The Java and Clojure functions he's comparing don't even take and return the same argument types. He's comparing boxed Integers to pr
