If taking a year off is a worthwhile thing to do in life, then right at the beginning of your working life is the best time to do it. That's when your value to employers is the lowest, as you don't have any experience yet. Each ye

There's a difference between licensing and certification. A license is when the government says you need to meet some requirements to practice. A certification is when some entity, usually a board or industry group certifies that you a

That's true. If you count the Alaskan camps [1] you get another 118 American citizens who died in U.S. government camps, which would put us at 1980 dead - leaving us 20 short of thousands. I stand corrected. [1] - https://ww

That some concentration camps in other countries were also death camps is entirely the point. They are not the same thing, but they're just one step removed. In fact, thousands of people died in the American camps even though there was

The stock has been historically more valuable than an equivalent amount of cash. For the most part, the historical trend of these stocks has been up and to the right.

This incident is actually so much worse than the George Floyd incident in my mind. The police force as an institution decided that it would be okay to bust down the door of the home without identification and with guns drawn, knowing that i

If things are as good as they've ever been then how come on one side of the political spectrum there's a broad movement to "make America great again" and on the other there's a mass movement taking to the streets? D

You should fact check your fact check. New York and California income taxes are based on residency. If you live in one of these states and work in a different state, then you will owe income tax to your home state. New York City also has it

All of this talk about what companies should pay is missing the point. The market determines what salaries will be. Someone good enough for Facebook is good enough for a number of bay area companies that would pay top dollar, so Facebook ha

I would consider a much longer commute to be acceptable once or twice a week compared to having to do it every day. You could still have the benefit of having a lower cost of living without increasing the number of hours you spend commuting

I'd say it's fairly likely that they found and fired the leaker, but had them sign an NDA. Google hates leaks and has internal surveillance methods in place to catch leakers, especially ones that cause this much trouble.

The healthcare system in the US isn't a marketplace either. For markets to function you have to know how much something will cost before you buy it, and you have to be able to make decisions based on cost. For most Americans, health pr

Some have a line that you can run to the sink's hot water line, if that's close enough to your toilet.

The toilet seats have adjustable nozzles, and even can be set to spray in a pattern to get everywhere. You still need to be in the right position but it's not so difficult.

I'm not sure why you think domains are property. When you "buy" a domain you're really leasing the right to use it for a fixed length of time. And anyway, the system of assigning names is not fixed upon stones sent to us

by wan23 7y ago
Domain names are a limited resource and some are more valuable than others. They should be treated more like the way we treat land, where highly valuable land is heavily taxed to incentivize people to actually use it or sell it.

Here in New York, at least, the eligibility for those units is based on the median income in the neighborhood where the building is. In some cases these affordable units end up with requirements that are pretty substantial, e.g. https:&#x2

+1 for this. They had a great discussion about the effects automation and AI will have on the workforce. It's long but worth a listen, even if you're skeptical about UBI as a solution.
