I had no idea that ACA prices were so different based on where you lived. I couldn't understand the numbers as I put in my family's stats & saw $600-$800/mo in my current and a couple of my former locations. Then I flip

Every US state is at-will. The only state that significantly varies from this is Montana, wherein employment is at-will for only the first six months of employment, which would cover your case here. https://www.paycor.com/r

This used to exist in the US as well: http://gbnfgroceries.blogspot.com/2014/01/from-misc-foods-ai... I remember these being an entire aisle in the grocery store in the 80s. I think they've been replaced by

A cool feature would be to take keyboard input. Either 'abcdefg' typed in or else one of those skeuomorphic layouts used by DAWs. Or else even better, if it supported webmidi so someone could plug in a midi keyboard. I find the

Are leading commas allowed? Because otherwise, you've just traded out the inability to comment out the last element for the inability to comment out the first. I never understood this convention.

Does this mean that US automakers might start making light trucks again? I thought that the reason why they aren't made much any more was due to milage standards, but that wouldn't be an issue for electric trucks.

I'm wondering, what entity enforces a uniqueness constraint on the URLs? Presumably it wouldn't be hard to copy the content & host & create a whole new URL, but what prevents you from just minting using the original URL?

I am a highlight reader. Going through this thread, I thought it would be nice to automate it, as it's a triple-click to highlight a paragraph in safari. What if instead, it was just on hover? I'd like to opt into this for just

Thanks! I had originally found it in Douglas Hofstadter's & Daniel Dennett's anthology, The Mind's I, which I also strongly recommend to those who haven't heard of it.

If you expect the first round winner to always win, then what would be the point of doing RCV at all? First round RCV winner is the same as FPTP winner. The entire reason why you would pick RCV over FPTP is because of those cases where fi

Watching that video, there's not much in there that you couldn't do with vscode vim plugin. Lots of it was just setting up vim plugins to replicate behavior present in vscode itself. In vscode, these features can also usually (a

I think the issue is more that the tools that designers/marketers/salespeople use are moving to cloud solutions that manage versioning internally (figma/google docs/etc). It's harder to do features like multiplayer

BTW, Jackall expanded that HBR essay into an entire book. Highly recommended if you want to get entirely black-pilled on corporate work. Wikipedia says it was a favorite of Aaron Swartz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

For me, the biggest pain point with Touch ID was that it didn't work well in the rain, which is precisely the moment when the touch screen for manual password doesn't work all that great either. I'm hoping masks are more of a

Futurama can still get pretty meta. The first five minutes of the last reboot were about how those responsible for their cancelation were ground into Torgo's Executive Powder. I think a better example of a return to straightforward co
