    Your linked source is a completely different issue, which is that there are other tariffs designed to artificially limit trade. These are de facto quotas on trade.

    Before these new tariffs, Canadian tariffs on US goods were more than double US tariffs on Canadian goods, as a percentage. If we want to eliminate tariffs, the proper outcome woul…

    Squarespace is a great balance between having no website at all and WordPress. Wix is overly complicated bloat, and you are better off just using WordPress if you need the bells an…

    Thank you for commenting here. Your opinion weighs a lot for many of us.

    I am working through something like this right now. Rev growth is starting to slow, our headcount is growing too quickly, and the current CEO seems hyper focused on a raise but doe…

    The intent I think is "Lets refactor the syntax of the router so we can add more functionality without creating a boondoggle." At least from what I have seen.

    Comment #43482689

    I disagree with this a little bit. Yes, a lot of the react-router changes are a PITA especially since some of the breaking changes are non-obvious. But most of the changes have bee…

    My son had a testicular torsion. Normally, this is 10/10 pain and vomiting and fever and shock. All sorts of awfulness. If you didn't know it, you would have assumed his pain was n…

    The problem is that, despite medical science making advances abound, doctoring as a profession changes exceptionally slowly, and most doctors (especially male doctors IME) take an …

    I have seen some local suits for smaller PPP loans.

    SaltyBet on twitch hosts automated MUGEN matches that channel users can bet on. Sometimes enjoyable, if not a bit random. https://www.twitch.tv/saltybet

    Not sure why you are being downmodded. The abrupt about face of Facebook and Amazon/WaPo (and probably Apple, but I haven't seen any evidence there), and even the change in Musk ov…

    Do you not have enough supports/standoffs on your mobo? Just because your case comes with 6 doesn't mean you only need 6.

    I think at this point in the wave, the criticism starts to pop up here and there, but it's still decried. In 12-18 months, the momentum of the white hot VC injections over the last…

    You want to be a performer. Corporate work is performative, but it's not for performers. Startups are nice because the environment you are describing quickly leads to a failed star…

    React is pretty universal at this point. Seems like Vue is a second followed by a smattering of other libs. You should learn React. Everyone (including non-web devs) should probabl…

    The only neighbors in eyeshot of my compost pile are the ducks, and I don't think they really mind.

    For starters, that USB splitter would be single use, assuming it didn't melt before your toast was done.
