    Source? I doubt many making north of 300k per year are living paycheck to paycheck. It's hard to not save money (like at least 10%) at that income imo.

    I'm surprised it's that low to be honest. By their definition of any mental illness, it can be anything from severe schizophrenia to mild autism. The subset that would consider sui…

    The inequality on dating apps is very high. Their Gini coefficients vary from 0.4 to 0.6 on most popular dating apps. Even if 100% of people were using dating apps, only the top pe…

    The word "gun" itself seems to work. Package this as a game and you've got a pretty fun game on your hands :)

    This entire issue is a waste of time, the executive order, the GNIS database update, subsequent lawsuits, and news articles like this. How is this helping anyone? Is it a distracti…

    Most of the IP to coarse location databases cost money and/or require backend work to setup. Totally reasonable to skip that money/effort for a fun project like this!

    Maybe Trump's plan to make Canada part of the United States, just rename Canada to the "United States" in the GNIS database and they appear part of the same country (at least withi…

    Until we get a breakdown of the salary distribution, the increased cap is meaningless. The cap could be 10M/year and 0% of managers would get it. An increase in the median pay woul…

    Generally a good idea, but there are edge cases that need to be handled for this to work. A copyrighted video might not be uploaded to YouTube, in which case you'd have to fall bac…

    There's a button in the bottom right so you can access the search functionality from the UI that allows you to use their search on mobile. This may have been added after your comme…

    Is the question about how to version the query? You have comments before the query that allow you to name the exported function so you could have both queries and name them somethi…

    Isn't that every credit card? You pay your full balance on time it's essentially a delayed debit card because no interest is paid.

    Agree, if the portfolio money is invested it is not useless because it's generating income to live above the "unspent money".

    It can do joins. By default it combines the query into a single flatten struct but you have the option to write the query to embed entities in the join. Not perfect and doesn't mai…

    Do gas stations have a special deal with the card processors then? Basically all of them have a lower cash price.
