Would housing choices essentially just be a lottery for who gets which house then?

Object literals would be weird in Java. My guess is that they would probably be implemented as essentially calling a no argument constructor and then a bunch of setSomeVar functions. Overall the no arg constructor and a bunch of setter func

It depends on where you live. In places with lower rents it seems more common for young professionals to live alone (most people I know live alone or only with a significant other)

The point of regulation isn't too prevent you from losing money, it's to prevent some common forms of fraud.

Each joycon being 40$ seems pretty reasonable. If one component costs almost 2$ then it's not hard to see how after buying different components, designing the system, assembling the components, packaging, shipping, and everything else

I think "run it's course" is a little needlessly pessimistic when there are still major strides being made each year in that area.

It's vulnerable overall but the actual act of in person voting has very low fraud rates. Most of these things disenfranchise tons of votes while stopping few (often literally none) instances of actual fraud. Edit: it's not that th

In under the impression that the US acts as an imperial power firstly because it's very integrated into the world economically and diplomatically so it works hard to protect those interests. It's easy to say that the US shouldn&#x

I thought the main advantage of "serverless" was that you didn't have to provision and maintain servers.

I would just pronounce it like "coke" and it would just sidestep the whole pronunciation issue. I'm not sure how most people pronounce it but that's what I would do to talk to my boss about it.

I think a lot of it is that pay scales on cost of living. It allows prices to go to crazy amounts and also disincentives moving to cheaper areas. If pay didn't scale on cost of living then tons of people would move from those high cost

It should be illegal for them to raise taxes on one specific business or person and no one here (that I've seen) is arguing otherwise. Otherwise if you are saying the government should never be able to raise taxes as a whole then I don

It's always amazing to me that people can't raise 400$ in an emergency as I'm in my mid 20s and make 70k a year and I have 100x that in the bank. It reminds me that I make a decent amount more than the median household income

It varies a lot by country. Maybe I might have a little of a skewed view because I've talked to people mostly from Germany and The Netherlands, which both manage to have have decent labor laws and fairly low youth unemployment.

I think the issue is that a "free" market is a theoretical construct and not a practical one. There is a lot of asymmetry in contract negotiation and without these sorts of laws you get what we have in America, which is many peopl

I think part of the issue is that it is literally impossible to have a news organization that everyone thinks is unbiased. Even if you just report straight facts people will claim bias just on the set of facts that you report. I think this

It probably helps but saying it's necessary seems a little far fetched to me. Also since pretty much everyone I knew growing up went to college I don't think "college-level" is really meaningful for much except wealth no
