Uhh, please don't listen to any advice in this thread which says "fire your highest performing engineers". You will literally turn your project into a "legacy" system overnight. You're a manager. Your job is

You should give it a try! It's a lot of fun. In Chicago (as an example) you can drive your car downtown, park it, and rent a bike with the Lyft app. They have bike stations all over the city. Try to rent one near the lakefront and

This is tangential to your question. Mostly because all I can do is sympathize and wish you the best. But I did not care for London. Edinburgh is the friendliest place I've visited in the UK if you have the flexibility to spend your

Businesses which sell to the public should provide accommodation for the public. Bad actors should be handled by the legal system. When their sentence expires they should be allowed to re-enter the public spaces they previously disrupted.

It makes sense if Ghana doesn't have US dollars and expects to have difficulty acquiring them. Their trade balance with the US isn't stable.

Mass foreclosure forced people out of homes. If that happens housing prices will decline. I think we had a surplus of homes in 2008 as well.

Hard disagree. I'm not a Fed economist though... How is a scarce resource going to devalue in a high inflationary environment? The cost of building homes continues to go up, the availability of land has not changed, restrictive housi

That wasn't provided as a condition. In a bank run, Visa's existence or non-existence is irrelevant. Credit is frozen.

I go to the bank and get cash. Businesses accept that cash for goods and services. I observe no difference in my social media habits because I do not use Meta products.

The best part of my day is my son hugging me when I return from work. No other feeling like it.

You have reduced my capacity for action and I am disengaging from this conversation. Because of this thread I no longer recognize Plate Tectonics and now believe in Expanding Earth Theory.

Physical books for everything. I've been burned by too many tech companies to trust ebooks. I keep a collection of PDFs that are freely available online but otherwise I buy physical copies.

Does it make the situation better if everyone is mistreated? Part of me wonders if its a bunch of old money Lords and Ladies bank rolling these businesses. They just crush you and tell you its a "competitive market". What do I k

Its shocking to me how poorly people are compensated in the UK. There's no way a competitive market could exist there. Move to America if you dare... you can actually make something of your life.

I've unfortunately been bitten twice in the past 4 months. Its made me very aware of their presence in my home. I've developed a weird fascination with them since. They're cute in their own way but that doesn't stop m

Did the police catch him in the commission of a crime? If not then, yes, they would need a judge to sign a warrant. Seeing as he was released without charges it seems the police grossly overstepped their authority. Edit: Let me caveat bec

Google should let their employees work wherever they want. Why constrain people. Just go remote.

It is not comparable to Washington. Much less corruption. Must shorter waits. Much more trust in the system. And, as you mention, much less expensive.

This is not a uniform problem. States like Washington has really great administrative capacity. Florida, Illinois, and Tennessee... not so much.

Its not difficult to pay with cash and to not enter your phone-number at the register. Paying with cash is a helpful way to budget.

Absolutely not. I live in a rural area. A car is a necessity but it isn't my ideology. Living in cities is a lot of fun. Living in cities built for people and not cars is life changing. No hate for anyone here or there. My car is
