This isn't the best sourced article, the sources here are all random people complaining on twitter. It would be much more interesting to hear from an informed spokesperson from UC Berkeley, with actual data on the percentage of STEM r

If you wanted both Photoshop and Lightroom, yes. For those of us that just used Lightroom, and could use GIMP for any light editing, it's a significant increase. I'm still using my perpetually licensed copy of Lightroom 6, and I

Running unknown executables in a sandbox and watching what they do is pretty common in advanced malware prevention software, and I expect that there's something in the TOS for Defender that grants them the permission to do this.

Is that the case if you include payroll taxes? (We could include sales tax too, but those are usually state and local, so we'd then have to add state income tax, and possibly property tax, and that would get complicated)

Whereas the poor can't move without losing their job. Yeah, this chart is federal only, but state taxes are also an issue, certainly.

This is true, but the challenge is that you can't just change how wide the streets are or how big the buildings are in an urban area overnight. It takes decades to change the transportation orientation of a neighborhood, and in the me

>The US already has a very progressive system. How can this be the case if the taxes actually paid (which is what the chart shows), is largely flat across income bands, between about 22 and 28%? Sure, between 1950 and 1980, the system w

Why do we need the fair tax plan to create a flat rate, when the graph in this chart shows that the rate is already pretty flat? Today, most people pay between 22 and 28% taxes.

All of this is true, but it's beside the point. The perception in America is that the rich pay more in taxes as a percentage of their income than the middle class do. The marginal tax rates imply that, with middle class people paying

In and around a commercial district, there is. If your customers are living in a standard suburban area around your commercial core, the city will often provide parking so that those customers can reach the businesses in that area. See th

The key to that is to list the item at $1 with no reserve. That will generate enough interest from bottom-feeders that it will usually do okay. I like your Reverse Auction if it's not something you want to sell quickly, but if you wan

I have started moving my friends and family from Chrome to FF. Biggest piece is the privacy angle, but the multi-site containers is also pretty important. It's nice to be able to block facebook API calls from other sites, etc. etc.

That has not been the case for me. My personal cell phone number has been on my voicemail for a decade now, and I get about two calls a year, generally for system outages or weird issues for a user with a deadline, or for true special case

Most of those obligations are through special-purpose entities for each location. They just walk away from all but the most profitable ones and leave the landlords holding the bag.

Fair enough. I guess I'll have to figure it out myself. :D

Yeah, it is. Thinking about it a little more, it possible that the counterfeits in this case are entering the flow at the distributor level, not at the amazon level, but we can't really tell from our perch at the consumer level.

Amazon does co-mingle their own stock with marketplace stock, although exactly how often and for what items they do so is unknown. The board game industry has been hit hard by counterfeits (it's really not that hard to print a game),

The index fund is holding the underlying stock, largely. The challenge is that if say 5% of their fund holders sell their shares in the fund, the fund has to sell the underlying stock to generate the cash to pay out. Most funds have a rul

The other interesting question to consider is: how long do consumers want to run the same fridge? How likely is the fridge to be damaged in some other way that causes the extra life of the 50-year fan to be wasted away in a refuse dump or

Some of it is that people want fresh fruits and vegetables to be available. They buy these things fully intending to cook with them, or have their kids eat them, in the next few days/week, but then life happens, other things come up,

My understanding is that the high point of social club membership was in the late 1800s through WW2. Before 1840, urban population was under 20%, and people couldn't get to the cities. Until 1950, under 10% of homes had Television.

The challenge is when all their friends have a phone, and they want one. Sure, if the culture at your kids school is no one has a phone, then no one cares. If not, it's a lot harder, and does have impacts on them socially.

So, assuming your phone network is compatible with the US POTS (Plain old telephone service) system, here's what you need. Analog interfaces for phones run in two modes: FXO or FXS. An FSX adapter, is a device that you connect a phon

The question then becomes is there another employee who would step up and give a similar value if given the opportunity, what is the impact to the organization of other employees seeing how people were treated in this case, etc., etc. Judg
