Maybe there’s some sensible common ground between Germany and the US system where everyone is required to get a general education even though a lot of people have no interest in it which also causes a lot of problems and makes it worse for

I could be wrong but I think the other effects of smoking are worse for quality of life as you age and are way more common than cancer. I knew a lot of lifelong smokers. I believe only one got lung cancer, didn’t die of it, but all that liv

I don’t vote, I’m a proud non-voter. People frequently make this statement and I think it’s wrong at face value. If you vote you are giving legitimacy to the beltway uniparty. If the election is “free and fair” why does voting give you the

You’re both right! Nuance is important :). This is an interesting thought, assuming a call center employee is paid $35k, total cost of employment being $70k, you could hire 14.25 employees for every million dollars. If every Concast exec go

I’m not sure if $2,200 is a lot or a little but isn’t there some non-zero cost associated with facilitating, transporting, storing and performing the autopsies regardless of whether the examiner is paid or is a student? Eg clerical work, dr

Just pointing out, now these guys will never be on 60 minutes or giving interviews to popular mechanics, Rogan or Lex Friedman. Whatever testimony is made available will be all that we have on the topic.

That’s really interesting and compelling. What’s the rest of your backend stack look like? Do you get good performance from the database drivers written in dart?

> There are no jobs for me; even for positions that totally align with my skills, the employers express no interest. I often wonder who they have working there and applying that is so much better than me they won’t grant me an interview.

How about US developers can’t compete with offshore developers? Average Indian earns $571/mo. Even if devs earn 2x average you’d be able to hire at least 3 for just the average SF/NYC rent a developer in the US has to pay let alon

I’ve been struggling with this for a bit — I am working on something I’d like to make open source for every use except resale / selling a hosted version. Eg, you can have a private fork you use at work. You can host it for your own use

I'm from the NYC Metro. Insane pricing pushed us out initially. Philadelphia is such a horrible place, pre-covid I was longing to go back. COVID restrictions and now the fallout from that don't make it feel like a good idea. Reall

It’s absolutely insane and there’s really no reason for it. Controversy with the angular team or high profile developers — why? I’ve been off social media for years but I’d hear about it second hand from coworkers.

Religious schools aren’t the only use of vouchers either. There are also charter schools. Charter schools can often provide specialized programs. Montessori schools seem awesome as well.

A future where humans are no longer able to drive will have to be a decade or more after self driving arrives. It’s impossible for everyone to replace their non self driving cars immediately. The used car market is a $150bn industry. A quic
