50%? No, that’s for high wages . And previous taxation is irrelevant: we as a society get to choose what is taxed, and there’s no inherent reason why only a single tax should apply to someone. Sales taxes, for example (which disproportio

I think one factor is the lack of variation. Sure, a copywriter might use those techniques as a hook, but there’s far more content using them paragraph after paragraph after paragraph than I’ve ever seen before. You might also reframe how

The abstract refers only to “sun exposure,” but it really did focus on sunbathing: > Four predetermined questions were posed regarding sun exposure: (i) How often do you sunbathe during the summertime? (never, 1−14 times, 15−30 times, &g

Why do you imagine that =1931 wouldn’t be equally confusing in some future decamillenium? Arabic numerals have only been around for (charitably) 0.12 decamillenia. Sorry, =.12 decamillenia.

Is a lightweight easy-to-read plain text markup language the right tool for that job?

Not that it couldn’t be trivial in the abstract, but I’m struggling to imagine a use for a nested list item containing a table of blockquotes. It doesn’t seem at all surprising that a tool wouldn’t anticipate that.

Of course it’s not a given as to any particular person, but regardless, it’s the right presumption. And yes, of course there are things outside your control. Is that really “equally worthy” of your consideration and energy?

For what it’s worth, I don’t think there’s much about Gleam’s design that is specific to “the functional patterns the BEAM was built for.” If you’re getting stuck in abstraction hell, consider asking the community for advice on what would b

The article admits that the 700k figure “assumes the worst-case scenario that you take the high valuation of the financial authorities (factor 13.75) as base valuation for your exit tax. Instead, you could also find someone to assess the re

Learning a bit more than “absolutely nothing” about Erlang would make a conversation more productive. The Wikipedia page [0] has some material relevant to your question under the “‘Let it crash’ design philosophy” heading. [0] https:/

Indeed. But given the ratios between the other five numbers and the waterlogged six, do you think it’s even remotely plausible that the water isn’t doing anything? For it to not be necessary, you’d expect that the die comes pre-loaded.
