Yeah. I don't know where OP is from but I recently helped someone shop for a hybrid and it was a little under 40k for a 2025.

Good luck coordinating the world. Think SEA, Korea, Japan are going to feel better off with China empowered by a weak USA? They want trade for both national security and their economic interest. I'm sure Samsung and Sony want to pickup

It's not misinformation. Yes ePrivacy predates GDPR but it had no teeth. The reason your replies are full of people saying, "Our lawyers told us to implement it for GDPR" is because it was a minimal thing you could do to meet

No. The reason it exists is businesses get guidance from legislators and existing case law on what prevents you from running a foul of GDPR and the cookie banner is what we ended up with. If those banners did nothing, companies wouldn'

Ive had a really good group of DnD/Pathfinder in the past, but I've tried several times to join games at the a local shop and it wasn't fun. D&D probably selects for a certain type of person that might already have some p

I work extra hours when I need to and less when I need to. I don't mind working more when it's something interesting. I will work less when I'm burned out. On average I probably do more than 40, but it's not required. Th

They are not worried enough. Taiwan, despite the existential risk, spends less than the UK (perc gdp).

A family member of mine is going through keynote 522, which is a clinical trial that combines 3 chemos and an immunotherapy prior to surgery. The five year survival rate for stage 3 triple negative breast cancer is normally about ~60% but t

Also the opioid epidemic actually did make benzos much harder to get. Atleast where I live, your primary doctor is very unlikely to prescribe them and instead will refer you to a psychiatrist. The people I know who were on Ambien or Atvian

I'm in the same situation and I agree that when we are together we do collaborate and plan better. On Zoom, people tend to set their mic on mute and very passively engage. However, once we have to actually execute, being in the office

I'm aware of the "listen" versus "problem solving" scenario. I refuse to accept the framing. For some reason people have bought in to the idea that you can unload your emotions on someone and also create expectation

I've struggled to buy into this hypothesis. It's always felt so clumsy as a strategy. How would that not make top performers want to jump ship? The employees who would struggle in a tight job market are the ones who will end up re

This was my experience too. The short context and the optimism bias make chatgpt the wrong solution. It starts well and then NPCs become inconsistent and the DM basically lets you craft the story by constantly doing a "yes and". I

It's harder. 1. Older adults are less open. I wouldn't just start texting someone from work about my favorite bands after knowing them for a couple weeks. In college that was common. 2. Children and family responsibilities are pri

The weirdest part to me is that we were well aware being outside was relatively safe early in the pandemic. There is another world where the pandemic became about telling people to focus on good ventilation and being outside as much as poss

I don't know if by promotions you mean into ic tree also, but it's definitely there for management. My boss who is probably a decade older than me is very much hinting I'm making a mistake if I don't move into management

Just a clarification to my comment. If I remember correctly, I don't think the claim was teen pregnancy was the "primary driver of population growth" but one of the variables that has a large impact on fertility rates. Most p

For this reason, I have been pretty convinced that the only way this is solved is via culture and I am skeptical it's worth the cultural change. For starters, Money and Macro looked into this and a lot of the fertility decline is the r

That was my experience. When I was in China I would use my own VPN using ec2 and the now defunct Streisand (which uses stunnel). First few requests were always fast but as you use more bandwidth your requests would start to slow down consid

The basic premise, as I understand it, is that there is nothing illegal about coming to the wrong conclusion as a juror. I have also read that it can be contempt of court to try to convince jurors to intentionally come to a conclusion not

I agree. I can read both of them clearly. I'm not sure what value we are maximizing for in this example. It's definitely not readability.

So your response confirms why I called it a wedge issue. Most Americans don't like abortion laws the don't take into account the health of the mother. So that type of law becomes a wedge among Republicans. Conversely, if a state p

You are capturing why I think abortion is a good wedge issue but a poor campaign issue. * Men aren't directly affected by it (~50% population) * Woman over 40 aren't generally affected by it So woman between 18-40 who can vote are

My dude. There was a #killallmen hashtag that trended in 2020. It was covered in major left leaning magazines like Atlantic and Vox. So of course the right pick it up to pull more men into their coalition. I don't care if it was ironic

Any idea what consideration keeps the tor team from making the client also act as a relay node by default?

I haven't figured this out. Ideally we should should hold employees to the work they produce but I still cringe a little when someone calls into a meeting because they had to run an errand. I want management to believe wfh isn't b

Retros all too often focus on the last thing that happened and risk turning into a complaint session. I've told my team anyone is welcome to ask for a retro whenever for any reason, but we don't make them recurring meetings becaus

It looks like the UK is considering perjury and I hope they follow through and are aggressive on it. We can't have incentive structures where the upside is becoming fabulously rich but the downside is a slap on the wrist.

Exactly. The idea of global trade is supposed to be about comparative advantage. Let Iceland with their cheap geothermal power make aluminum and trade it for US agriculture. But since the shipping container, trade is no longer that. It&#x27

I'm very much bought into this framing. Deceased billionaire Jon Huntsman claimed in his book "Winners Never Cheat" that if you scam or lie as an exec you'll eventually get found out. He argues that it will always be eas
