Early boomers had to push back retirement because of 2008 GFC. They are permanently exiting the market, now. Later boomers are going part-time or being selective. They aren't going back to blue collar and that's where things are c

Your 2nd hand experience of teaching from an educator 20 years ago is very different from the current reality. School districts have taken on more task and passed the responsibility of executing them to the frontline workers (teachers). To

LOL. The shitty version of Youtube has always been Youtube. If you were making an amateur video Youtube was plenty. If you were an auteur and wanted to be above the fray you hosted it on Vimeo. Sadly, Vimeo has gone the corporate video rout

The first step to ending homelessness now is to start indoctrinating children into Kier Eagan's cult (Severance) now, and then they won't be homeless 12-18 years from now? 50% of the homeless population are/were clients of th

I bought Code and Code Complete around the same time. And started reading Code before switching to Complete. And now I'm reminded I have the 1st Edition still sitting on my bookcase read about 1/3 the way through.

Doesn’t this already happen at most startups. Each round dilutes the founders share and dilutes the shares of existing employees. The VC might have targets like, acquire 10m users or generate $40m in revenue, and that might not be possible

The Touchbar in the 13" MBP counts as a display. So the Pro already runs 2 displays and can add a third. The same GPU+CPU is in the MBA which only runs 1 + 1 external display. It't not a limitation of GPU or whatever they want you

Sugar isn't a good indicator of much. Russia basically got their sugar from the country they just invaded. And Ukraine is just in a shitty strategic location. No one really cared about them until it became blindingly obvious they have

From what I understand, and I'm not sure if it's propaganda or not, but the ruble dropped and then bounced back. The only Russians affected by the embargoes are the expats. They have to exchange rubles for dollars but can't.

I believe you are confusing the student health fee with health insurance plan and they aren't the same thing. Student health fee goes into paying for the on-campus student services like the athletic fee, computer fee, etc. I haven&#x27

I have the Dyson V10. And I got it much cheaper by buying refurb and coupon stacking for <$200. I think they were the first to get the cordless vacuum formfactor right. There are many alternatives now that are significantly cheaper. And
