The economic advantage in delaying. Given the large build outs and that you don't want to replace panels for 15+ years, a Moore's law like rate of improvement often seems like a reason to wait and pay less for better panels that w

Each vaccination dose lowered your odds of going to hospital and then your odds of needing ICU care if you were in hospital and then of dying if you were in ICU. From a public health perspective the vaccine is a solution to China having a m

It seems to me like Russia cyclically (or at least from time to time) exchanges independent people accused of tech crimes for something it wants.

This one is really an example of the US having a 3rd world safety net. No matter how much that worker makes, her partner can have more uncovered medical costs.

Taking 1% of US statistics for NYC, there should be around 1100 car fires, with 4 deaths. I'm not sure those deaths would be clearly identified as a car fire as opposed to a generic fatal accident. A fire in a tunnel, basement parking

Some people spend a lot of time locking themselves directly into these little inferno chambers. The only fire deaths I've directly seen were in cars. Naturally they are more visible than houses, but also so common that they don't

I'm not sure why that matters. For a very long time I was impressed with the low number of employees and the income per employee at Google. I think their raise in employees should ideally be because they finally have a new product with

I found it a bit puzzling that France was the other economy. Given that Germany is actually higher in terms of GDP its hard to tell what this really means. There's always been more pessimism for future returns of German companies and&#

Being called hobbyist software derisively by the Linux community is like being knighted, I assume.

I don't think bitcoin was even a recognized currency until 2014.. It is utter madness that someone can make a game today and you can be tried for winning on players technical errors a decade after the IRS decides if it is a serious spe

Google Pixel 6A is less than this and has grapheneos and a 5 year service life. The only other Android manufacturer I would still consider is Samsung. Ironically, Samsung doesn't have GrapheneOS or similar to protect you from google ap

The problem of the salary job overtime scam is one of an employer misrepresenting a job to be equivalent to other jobs to ultimately get more value for less money, it has nothing to do with different parts of the job market having lower bar

Of course not, I would accept a different job. The game is doing these or else's within the week and not compensating for them. A company that pays 70 hour a week worker is paying for at least 85 hours of time or can be sued and the wo

I don't understand, if you are an hourly worker you are getting paid at least as much for each additional hour? A salaried worker is comparing jobs that claim to be 40 hours and is being cheated out of income per hour if they take one
