Another problem with dispensaries is that banks will not allow them to use them. That means they end up being cash only, and a huge target for burglaries. There is a bill passed by a huge margin in the house in April, but the senate hasn’t

Access to birth control could be a much larger factor. Catholics are famously anti birth control, and Protestants only began accepting it starting in 1940, so the 1973 roe v wade decision correlated with a generation which had more societal

Every company that I’ve been in that had an anti asshole policy has meant that they don’t tolerate assholes at the line engineer level, since that’s reserved for management, especially director and up. I guess it’s better, but the proof is

Cliff note: wait and see. Transmissibility and/or ability to punch through immunity may be higher. Severity may be lower. We don’t know by how much overall. We should all be hoping that severity takes a hit.

It would be actually great if they did exactly that, as an anonymized experiment somehow. My guess would be 40-60%.

Even tech workers are like wait, it’s still this hard to afford a home when I make *x the median income? It must be impossible for most people.

At any given social gathering among even non tech people I know, there’s always a side conversation happening about crypto. It’s the same people who go spend too much at casinos, or are only talking about the next business venture. It’s a b

The key word is deconsolidation - something almost every user actually wants for many reasons more or less. This feels to me like the cycle of the forum moderator problem - the site is great and useful but then gets popular and the more po

Agree, I have the g15 with a 100w 3070. I can boost the power when needed for games. Big downside is no webcam.

I have an asus g15 and I’m happy with it, and it has great graphics/gaming performance and doesn’t skimp on battery power at all. I would get a g16 w a webcam now though. It is windows though, and I prefer not dealing w the file system

It is basically if you aren’t in tech or in an industry with access to legacy money and connections (real estate, law, etc), homeownership is out of reach in many metro areas in the US. However, there’s a constant drone of people migrating,

Every reason you’ve stated are reasons I’ve switched from one proprietary or open source framework before react to react. 2 way data binding is a mental prison in big apps, I’m sure there’s a good implementation somewhere but I’ve yet to se

Sure, and yes I can do that, but you are also judged in comparison to people who just graduated and used them in theory classes all the time, or who are demons on hackerrank etc.

I really recommend you read my comment again before responding because I don’t think you ingested any of it. You’re literally saying that anyone anxious in an interview is both incompetent and a cog, and that anxiety in an interview is dire

This comment is the personification of the mindset that makes interviews a hostile situation. You are not only extremely biased against some of the best coders I've ever worked with but actively harming the hiring process for your empl

> But if you can't communicate and think while under a bit of interview pressure, then you're not likely to be able to cope long-term in a development job. This may sound logical and like common sense, but it is flat out wrong.

Hey just wanted to say I'm really sorry you're having to go through that - its a cruel system. Don't be afraid to ask for affordances like take-home tests - I've found for me the biggest indicator of trouble is whether I

The pandemic has made most people a bit more aware, at least. The distractions people enjoyed were suddenly taken away, for at least over a year. That has heightened awareness, along with the need for self care. Even the idea of anxiety was

I think there’s a level on which a chill society doesn’t feel as much collective need to produce as much, though your point is very valid as well. A 11 hour workday that involves a hammock and a nap for instance. Or, a crazy idea, if one ca

Israel only has a 63% fully vaccinated rate. They’ve had a single wave post vaccination. Double check your data, I think.
