Not necessarily. Unless I am misunderstanding what specifically is being referred to as a tram. In Portland, Oregon for example, we have small trains that run at street level and s…

Are you just saying that no company should be selling pickup trucks or SUVs?

Same, been seeing quite a few of them around Portland, Oregon as well. Would definitely get one if I was in the market for a vehicle right now. I really like the form factor of a p…

Completely agree that fixing the government is the real solution, but until that is done, why shouldn't private companies be able to produce (optional) tools that make filing easie…

That's a slightly different issue though. Just saying that because the government has offered a solution to the problem of filing taxes doesn't automatically imply that no other or…

That seems like an overly broad statement. If the companies producing tax filing software were solving a problem for their users then why shouldn't they exist. Even with this new o…

Why are a data access layer and an ORM mutually exclusive? An ORM is just an abstraction over your database. You might find use in it as a tool to access your database but contain …

How about any evidence at all?

Am I misinterpreting this? It sounds like they are excluding people who match any of the criteria after December 8 2021. If I’m understanding that correctly then most people would …

I recently had to go back and file an amended return for one state and file a return for an additional state for the past 5 years. It made my life a lot easier to be able to just i…

There is an important nuance here in that it assumes that all employers understand that someone being fired can just mean that they weren't a good fit for that particular position.…

The purchase page seems really confusing compared to how they typically do things. Typically, when purchasing something like a Macbook, you select the base model and then some of t…

I wouldn't dispute your point that titles are important, but would ask, should they be? It doesn't seem that they really mean much at a lot of places, or are sometimes even given o…

Your parent commenter wasn't saying that they have a desire to get this every year, just that if the worst case outcome is getting what they had every year, they would find that an…

Where I live (Portland, Oregon) the rules for sheds are actually pretty generous. It can be something like 10 feet high, 200 square feet or less, and I don't think requires any set…

It absolutely is. So those boxes all connect together, which would help keep them from falling out.

Did it really happen though? I still see stuff with Comcast on it. Like technician trucks, random web pages, postal mailings, etc. It seems to me that they just came up with the te…

Yes, it's common for Amish carpenters to use lot's of modern power tools in the course of their work, but will often remove the electric motor and replace it with a belt drive that…

Wouldn't the wages for daycare workers need to be raised as well?

With this technology, assuming it can capture large amounts of carbon, couldn't some of it be converted to fuel for current use and some of it sequestered. It would certainly take …

Putting the actual law aside, I'm a bit confused on Gruber's argument here that "it’s untenable for Apple, or any other company, to “support our employees’ rights to make their own…

I'm not pushing back too hard on this idea, because in general you are likely right about almost anything, that most people don't care that much. However, I'm not sure that Apple r…

Right, but there are still differences in prices between different makes of the same type of wine. For example a bottle of Charles Shaw Cabernet (ie. two buck chuck) vs. a Robert M…

Yes. I think pretty much anyone that has flown with young children could backup that you can bring food through. We bring all sorts of snacks for the kids. Fresh fruit, crackers, c…

I think I get your point that the computers help to increase efficiency, but your illustrative numbers don’t seem right. A lot of brand new cars use more than 3 gallons per 100 mil…
