What is the basis for the claim that income tax in NYS and CA pushed prices and income up? This seems extremely unlikely, unless you are looking at pretax income or something.

That is overstating it a bit; there are mentions decades (but not centuries) after his reported death. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jesus has a good overview of the non biblical sources.

This isn't accurate if you are talking about the federal level. A better model in terms of spending is that the federal government is an insurance company with an army. The federal government spends something like 10 times as much on

Paris agreement is non-binding. Who cares? What matters is if it's working or not. Of course it's hard to untangle if it's due to accords, scientific/engineering breakthroughs, government investment, etc. but India a

The correct answer is probably to allow car deliveries/parking at certain times of the day (late evening and early morning?) and have the streets be pedestrian/biker only outside of those hours.

I'd guess most are more concerned that if they give you a private office, others will request one and they aren't equipped to give lots of private offices. And if they give just you one, it will cause resentment in the team that

A decent analogy for most governments is that they behave similarly to an insurance company with an army. You absolutely pay a percentage of the value of what you are insuring (here your life, wealth, earning potential) not a flat fee.

Distributed Systems for Fun and Profit is pretty good: http://book.mixu.net/distsys/single-page.html . Focuses on theory results that are applicable to real systems and analyzes those systems.

Not only that, but cause and effect isn't obvious either. Let's say there's some correlation between high ratios of debt / gdp (our proxy for "unsutainable levels of debt") and low growth. Is the low growth c

I'm not sure you have demonstrated what you are trying to show. If I understand correctly, you've calculated the chance a manager is promoted to director as 1/15 * average number of directors that leave over the relevant time

Caltrain doesn't have a stop at Montgomery or Embarcadero. You have to switch to BART before SF, walk, or take one of the muni lines that is slower than walking.

I asked an anesthesiologist this question and am transcribing from memory (hehe), so I may have screwed some things up. The answer to your question in is no, you aren't suffering enduring horrible pain while under general anesthesia.

Great point. Also -- at least at the hospital I'm familiar with in SF -- those registered nurses work 36 hours a week (three 12-hour shifts a week). It's hard to see how being an RN isn't a better job than being a software d

I could see having that perception if you were coming from a large company that never fires anyone. I can say that for some people, it is absolutely scary, even if you are competent and capable. For example: - You suffer from imposter sy

I guess it depends on how you define nerd. I would describe a large percentage of students at top schools to be incredibly goal oriented, but not really nerdy. They'll outwork everyone to score their desired internship or spot in med

I don't think that school of thought is actually prevelant. They make you go to training classes so if there is a lawsuit they can point to all the training and say it's the individual's fault, not the company's.

I'm curious, why is it your dream job and why would you be exceedingly happy to work for any of those companies listed? Is it the money? Prestige? You think you'll learn more at one of those places than others? Stability?
