You're implicitly arguing that SNAP should have fiscal cliffs. Fiscal cliffs are a symptom of a poorly designed welfare program.

I lost my sense of smell and was very tired 3 weeks ago, but otherwise I had no symptoms. I'm super curious to find out whether I had it already, although my SO was asymptomatic in the same timeframe so it seems unlikely.

It really doesn't make it clear how this works, and I can't find a consumer facing help article. Does this just email me a code or what?

The most recent episode of the Neoliberal Podcast covered this in layperson's terms. Despite being pro-helicopter money, they point out that the bureaucracy to do so isn't in place and that there isn't precedent/procedur

We used to do this in high school and bought a single large bag of potassium nitrate from a local commercial agriculture shop. We even called ahead to make sure that it had specific chemical designations on the bag because it was far enough

[Ignorant tangent] Is core hardware more exploited these days or are vulnerabilities just more reported in tech news? I'd assume the former, but I'm not a hardware person. If so is this just due to increasing complexity/optim

Agree that heads should role, but it may very well be management decisions that brought them to this point. We don't know if engineering was resource/strategically limited (seems unlikely at a well funded startup but it may have b

I agree. While I'm primarily a Firefox user, Edge Beta is the best experience on my Windows machine. I'm surprised that it seems faster than Chrome when they're utilizing the same rendering engine (probably the built-in track

My SO has insurance through/at her med school and has to dispute bills every time she goes in because they bill them as non-covered. Oh and imaging in the same building / under the same hospital wasn't covered. It's craz

Tangent, but assuming fusion energy generation will be a reality in the next 30 years, what do you believe the price/KWH will be? I am not knowledgeable enough to parse the estimates I've seen and want to believe in the post-energ

I have quite a few more tabs open at any point in time including some large spreadsheets so 8GB tends to be my minimum before I start noticing on Windows/Firefox even with an M2 SSD. Firefox alone is at 4GB for me. This is also my faul

I graduated high in my CS class from a top school, but it turns out that I'm just good at tests/abstract thinking/hacking things together with duct tape. I'm terrible at software engineering, and really glad to see this

As you mentioned that's marginal profit. You'd have to include estimates of their other costs/liabilities before estimating future market cap.

When buying call options the max loss is the purchase price. There's not a symmetric return as there is with owning stocks directly. The reason you can make so much with so little capital is that the probability of the stock price movi

I'd add shorting is expensive (borrowing fees or volatility premium on options) and more complex (margin/option approval etc). Plus the old adage that the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

This is the broken window fallacy. If our goal is to increase employment rates then we should support policies that do so where human productivity is most efficient.

I'll chime in here (like I do in all these threads until it's fixed) but Google Home and Android Auto require all of these settings to be enabled last time I checked.

I'm really curious how their upcoming PHEV F150 does. It is planned to act as a 110v AC generator for job-sites, which is a really cool application.

The vast majority of meat is not 100% grazed. You have a point, but it's largely a theoretical one. If one can find a source of meat that is 100% naturally grazed then they could probably go through similar effort to eat non-meat prod

Wow, I've received frighteningly little interviewer training, but the "things to not say/consider" talking point has been reiterated strongly. That said, I can't say I'm surprised.
