No, they only allow 6 characters for the number of the dog. To write 38 in Roman numerals requires 7 characters. So that's why they only allow 37 of the same name.

Absolutely. Then it's all about selling the team, the company and it's potential. If you can't sell your vision to your employees you probably won't be able to sell to your customers either.

This still falls into the "country X doesn't do anything" trap. If France imposes a carbon duty but Britain doesn't, British companies will have access to cheaper goods. British citizens will have greater purchasing powe

Sorry for any confusion, but there absolutely should be serious compensation to the victims. The question is only how much. Some might consider $1B an insult to the value of a human life. Since it's impossible to compensate someone fai

Unfortunately, equating a human life to dollars is always insulting. To that individual, their life could be worth an infinite amount and more than all the money in the world. So, it's always a messy business trying to compensate someo

Yeah, but if the primary objective is working, it might be worth optimizing the secondary objective as well.

Same. Not everything fits into a single category. Is dried fruit "fruit" or "snacks"? Also, I don't find the bubbles easy to scan or read. If I was going to redesign the receipt, it would have everything I bought in

I've hired dozens of programmers and never once looked at what college they went to or if they went to college (or where they live, just what time zone they're in). In web/app coding, all that matters is what you've done

Same goes for JavaScript. It's so ubiquitous that it's worth putting up with the downsides. It'll take several unicorns and Fortune 100s hiring thousands of engineers to code in an SQL-alternative to create an ecosystem large

True, but I doubt EU courts could take up a case involving non-EU consumers. So, even though Google compiles in Europe, they don't have to afford the same protection to non-EU users.

Even in the Bay Area with a large family $500k/year is more than enough to live very comfortably. Maybe not a billionaire lifestyle, but certainly well above average. $200k/year is middle class in the most expensive areas.

It would probably be more useful to study primitive tribes and see how long they sit per day to see what our bodies might be adapted to. I also find it hard to believe that people can sit for less than 3 hours per day consistently, given co

Sorry, 90% was a bit of an exaggeration, but 60-70% might not be unrealistic if someone came out and said they respect both sides of a controversial issue and want to find common ground.
