A primary residence shouldn't be compared to stock market investment on pure returns basis, as you get additional utility out of the home by living in it, using all that the neighborhood offers etc. However, you can absolutely compare

Source? From personal experience - I have yet to see a cyclist "taking due care" when they run the stop sign by where I live. They just run it full speed downhill and cars have to dodge them. What especially confuses me in this si

Been doing Prompt2 to Linode on an iPad Air (the first one) for a couple of years, mostly over 3G or LTE and haven't noticed much of a lag. Perhaps my expectations are deflated because of the mobile connection...

I think another way to look at this is minimizing risk/resulting guilt. The broken leg example seems to support that - the father is paying for the best possible care for his son, even if the outcome is the same (leg heals properly) as

TLDR; $400 billion total, $200 billion is currently spent on subsidies and medi-cal, $150 billion is already spent by employers. The state would need to "find" ~$50 billion or ~$1,300 per resident more to fully fund this. Personal

It's really sad how many execs who claim to be very technical do not understand this. Recently had a debate on this exact issue where they were going to assign after hours support duty to the sole engineer on a particular API that&#x27

That's a recipe for disaster - a burnt out engineer is the last person you want next to a customer emergency in a proof of concept startup. This is one of the reasons why multi-person founding teams are favored by investors. Regardless

Not the OP, but I think the comment meant that without inflation adjustment and proper ratios, you can't draw correct conclusions. The nominal number is big, but 2008 number is today's dollars would have been $14.17 trillion, or 1

Thanks for the example, this helps a lot in my understanding of this! It's pretty similar to what I did, but the template would be a lot more complex due to various column definitions and calculations, for example uniques require the b

Thanks! The reports are all API driven. User specifies dimensions and metrics, as well as filters, etc. The API returns the JSON response. I can't predict what users will want to visualize in the future, so dedicated templates for each

If I read the docs correctly on JinjaSQL, it essentially allows you parameterize your queries, but doesn't let you build them dynamically like SQLAlchemy would. Can someone comment on what's the benefit of this, as opposed to usin

Don't buy that this is undetectable - browser sends a lot of signals, including position of the mouse and interactions with content, so it's not a big stretch to say that it would be possible to detect interactions or lack thereof

Not sure how that precludes me from finding the comparison to be offensive. In the end, that is a personal view and an emotional reaction at that.

Their contemporaries were certainly able to call them such and worse. However, I do not see that we can compare these figures to Clinton and Trump. Neither has the accomplishments or the potential for accomplishments that could compare.
