Haven't won the IPO lotto like some here but I'm comfortable financially and don't have a family. Thus my pay check mostly just ensures a nicer lifestyle, which doesn't seem to be enough to keep me motivated in the tech

This is the tough thing. The article says that this happens to almost everyone whereas your doctor says it happens to almost no one.

I've also been thinking, the population segment in the US most likely to have medical expenses and thus see a problem in the system to be fixed are the older generations. But, these generations are on Medicare and Medicaid and thus don

Why would this be different with private share owners who don't work for the company? In the end, all investors want to make profit, no?

250Gbps is still a lot of bandwidth for a network even today. An enterprise ISP like Verizon or Spectrum may have less of a capacity issue with it but for many other networks this is a lot. Quick example, though not an ISP, but the entire I

At quick glance the communities look very sperate. In my ideal federated dream, most servers would subscribe to most other servers and thus you could see your posts on several of them. Is that the intention here?

You're referring to elementary particles. This is not elementary as it is composed of Quarks, which are part of the standard model and are elementary.

The counter argument of companies not having infinite money for what would be a finite raise doesn't really work either. Even Wal-Mart who is often seen as being in an ultra low profit margin industry, has over 2.3m employees and yet c

Thanks for the link, I've been thinking a lot about this lately. Like: - Why can Trump write off a $70k haircut but I can't write off a $35 haircut? - Why can my employer buy my laptop, and I can use it in my off time for video ga

I feel like autonomy is getting really hard to find in tech. There's just only so many ways you can write a GET route. Then it will get shaped into what it "should" be via PR comments. It makes for good software development,

Not sure how it works in other states but in Ohio, voters can vote in changes directly to the state constitution. Thus the constitution is huge. I'm not sure what it takes to get on the ballot but it sounds like a way for special inter

I see this back and forth, could you help me understand why these dollars shouldn't be considered "created"? My limited understanding is something like this: Congress/President decide US citizens need stim checks. They d

Yea I guess that's true, I feel like it only matters the first time you do it though. Like if year 1 you do $1T of debt, your debt burden after 1 year is $1T. In year 2, you inflate 50%, but need to borrow $2T. Your debt is now, in yea

> for this reason they are printing money to lower the overall debt obligation of the US Except the way the US does it, the Treasury issues debt and then the Fed prints to buy the debt. So when we print $1T, we also take on $1T in debt.

Yes, generally the smaller the wavelength, the worse the attenuation. Quick googling: 4g is 600Mhz to 2.5Ghz or 0.5m to 12.5cm wavelength. For comparison, the US Navy uses 80Hz or 3750km wavelength to talk to submerged submarines.[1] [1]

Very good point. I'm just now fully understanding why at my last fin-tech job we stored all monetary amounts in pennies. I thought at first it was just ideal to keep everything as integers in the database but I see now that due to our

A lot of comments here saying that this is a flawed study because we don't know how the pandemic may have impacted a statistical decline in productivity. I must ask, why is this not a concern when someone anecdotally or statistically s

To be honest I kind of wish someone would build a proof-of-bandwidth crypto. Miners would overtake data centers with cheap transit, driving the build out of more long-haul network. Some would then move to different neighborhoods just to get

How can the chip itself consume that kind of power? Or is the 15kw value for the entire unit? That's like 10 residential space heaters all turned to max. I'm surprised that much heat could be dissipated over such a small surface a

This seems to be a common theme, that these problems are easily solved with just a few extra dollars. I used to subscribe to this conclusion thinking government/people just didn't care. Then I found out NYC spends $3billion on the

It seems they are regularly maxing out their network infrastructure. If it's so cheap, how come they don't just buy more? Is it the cost of the actual hardware? (I know they recently upgraded)
