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 econ…

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 becaus…

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 u…

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…

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…

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 …

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 p…

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,…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 commo…

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…

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…

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 …

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 looke…

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 …

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…

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…

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 affe…
