Cross body bags are a nice midpoint between a backpack size and a fanny pack size and they don't sit on your back causing sweat - I got an adidas one for like $30 and I can easily fit a 32oz water bottle a folded light jacket plus othe

Fair question, there are a few things at play. Some Googling tells me the average final GPA for an engineer there is between 3.3 and 3.4, meaning a lot of people are going to graduate with much lower grades than that. I eventually graduated

I would say most of the STEM majors at my university (top 20 US school) pushed students to the absolute brink in the first year, jam packed with advanced math, physics, and chemistry. It was pretty normal to come out of freshman year engine

it is true that a lot of mainstream media outlets that people consider "probably biased but overall trustworthy" just regurgitate talking points from the State Department, law enforcement, etc as fact. One only needs to read the C

on the warehouse side, Amazon is only the best game in town when it is the only game in town. Other warehouses have higher wages, better hours, many are unionized, etc.

In general the presence of collective bargaining is going to limit the presence of the few best case employment scenarios, but with the advantage of preventing a lot of the really bad cases. It is a collectivist action after all. Sure you d

Yeah I’ve worked places where the product was clearly superior to competitors in every possible way, including price, but selling to anyone beyond a small business was still VERY tough for multitude of reasons. You would have companies wher

True, but when the article is about tax burden, they should be honest about the tax burden. Someone concerned about tax burden can probably figure out that rent is higher in LA than in Houston.

People love to not include property tax when pushing these narratives. Texas has a higher total tax burden for poor and middle class than California, and a lot of that is hidden in the property tax

I still like chained posts on twitter a lot of the time, I think when used well they still really focus the writing.

It is obviously a matter of willpower. The Republicans have no problem getting their moderate members to toe the line on their more extreme stuff. "Moderate" Republican party members would make their statements about "this is

I mean you're basically echoing my point - the Democratic party at the national level doesn't have the willpower to get pro-worker legislation through. And it's not just because they suck at winning elections, but also becaus

Outside of Bernie and a few others, the days of Democrats having many nationally significant politicians that are truly pro-union are pretty much gone. I don't think most people, including those that vote Democratic, have much of an il

the editor for Google Docs is the one really good thing I can't get elsewhere, but I don't do that much important stuff in it - just like planning vacations, etc. Once I'm done editing something, if I want to back it up I can

sure, the known set of rules causes some types of voters to be more likely to vote, and other types less likely. The point is that you can't possibly know how all those interactions among voters would play out if you did in fact update

The point about the American election is that if people knew going into the vote that it was a popular vote across the country, voting behavior would change. Many people don’t vote at all because their preferred president has a 0% chance of

Some twitter threads from Zillow insiders I saw around this referenced a couple things: * the pricing algorithm was good, but the business leadership got hungry and kept overriding it with higher offers in the hunger to do more business. *

I'm sure they've cleaned up their act by now! Surely they aren't during stuff like that, and "thwarting" "terrorist plots" where the "conspirators" are FBI assets themselves

though as with things like CAP theorem, there are always clever ways to to place a given implementation at various points along the spectrum, rather than just at one end or the other.
