Wait, you're suggesting that manual transmissions have more points of failure than automatic transmissions? Not only are automatic transmissions significantly more complicated, they also fail catastrophically. Your clutch is a consumab

I think most of us are feeling extremely cautious about the recent Embrace-Extend-Extinguish overdrive.

No I mean specifically from the private sector. You have to front that cost somehow. Whether you're seeing the cost as more expensive drugs or whatever, you're still paying it. R&D is factored into the cost. The negotiation

Oh yeah, I love commuting listening to music and livestreams, but you can't assume everyone does. Public transit shouldn't be reserved for major east-coast cities and for poor people.

You're fronting the overhead of medical R&D, which the US is doing the bulk of. Still kind of ridiculous that the amount we spend still amounts to most of the population getting shafted.

Marginal tax rates mean literally nothing. Nordic countries pay significantly more in taxes any way you look at it. You'd get laughed out of the room if you talked to someone like Donald Trump about paying a 40% marginal tax rate.

Which scene are you referring to? It looked like Strange was wearing Yeezys in the opening operating room scene, but I don't remember seeing anything else.

It's more of an engine-brake feel as you experience in a vehicle with a manual transmission. I doubt it's that alarming. When you let off the accelerator in a manual transmission vehicle, it's more of a "test the water&

Because it requires a core assumption of anti-intellectualism. It doesn't bother you when friends and family are sold on something that is baseless and are completely opposed to actually researching it and at the very least becoming mo

Is it really so unusual for someone with relatively marketable skills to have a standard 8 hour work day with a proper lunch break?

I'm not sure how researched on US taxation you are, however the posted numbers mean absolutely nothing. The effective tax rates are incredibly low for the upper class. Miniscule. The middle class pays on average around 25% in income t

This is pretty standard in the US, especially if you don't work in some MegaCorp cog-in-the-machine type of situation. I think a good percentage of people working their asses off and working 60 hours a week are people who ARE actually

Try to put a price on UX. macOS is the choice * nix desktop operating system as far as I'm concerned. All the * nix utilities, POSIX compliance, all of the proprietary software, none of the virtualization bullshit. I'm a hackintos

Without reading too much into it, I think they just recognise (like everyone else) that mobile devices are far more pervasive and profitable in 2016. It's also way easier to sell someone a new smartphone or tablet with gimmicky bullshi

Don't forget about developers who enjoy *nix operating systems and also not being handicapped by Linux-Desktop(TM).
