How much of Meta's r&d is spent on keeping people addicted to their apps? I'd argue Amazon and Meta were both more innovative when there was no or very little revenue. Meta essenti…

Read a thing his father died of heart disease at a younger age. The long plane ride probably caused an issue with a blood clot, would be my guess.

Think I've heard anecdotes about Tokyo being pretty affordable as well. Quick search shows less than 1/3 of income typically spent on housing, which is much better than major US ci…

> It reduces the debate to fighting some imagined, small class of property owners who oppose progress. I feel kind of the opposite way really. I've even known plenty of people who …

I take it as referring to AIPAC, one of the most influential lobbying organizations in the US.

Reminds me of something that made me cringe that I heard from an architect at a medium sized IT shop, "even Google couldn't handle our scale".

I just kind of assumed they meant no additional snow to add to the accumulated amount they have for the season compared to 2015.

Curious how much this varies among police. Some jobs are by their nature always dangerous. But there are a lot of cops in the USA, and plenty I'm sure have nice, cozy jobs, and the…

That's a bit tenuous. Corporate taxes are a cost after profit, which usually means whatever is left over after expenses. This means companies could pay higher salaries specifically…

Just anecdotally, my experience was the total opposite. I didn't work in the health care industry long though and I think you're probably right in general. But you might also find …

I get what you're saying and mostly somewhat agree with your point, but it's kind of funny thinking back and feeling the complete opposite. People like to argue which states would …

If a person immigrates to the USA due to success with onlyfans, are they not productive members of society by virtue of having taxable & disposable income from the fruits of their …

Isn't this par for the course for the New York Post? I hear that name and think trashy tabloid.

What atrophies with calculator usage is an ability to do long form division for example, or arithmetic operations with large numbers in your head for example. The way you describe …

I guess that distinction in poor matters some to me, because when I read your original comment (budgeting to avoid staying poor) the first thing that came to mind was someone I kno…

I don't have a concrete example, but I think you can invent plenty of iterated prisoner's dilemmas with whatever modified rules and variables and find 'tit-for-tat' isn't the end-a…

Original title was better in multiple ways. Mods did a disservice here.

I find it kind of hard to define success or failure. Google search and Facebook are a success right? And they were able to scale up as needed, which can be hard. But the way they s…

You don't need to get to the 3rd age in AoE 2 necessarily, unless you're just sticking with a certain strategy or playing a certain map that warrants it. There are whole metas arou…

Almost all languages have some sort of object representation, right? Classes with their own behavior, DTOs, records, structs, etc.,. What language are you working in? If you're cou…

Age of Empires 2 has big tournaments as well, and the campaigns are fairly popular too I think.

When I was younger and living in military dorms, I put a old throw away laptop hosting a simple website via Apache on the internet. Every time I checked the log it'd be full of so …

Some would say Tesla has been over hyped as well.

I know at least a couple times just the templating side saved me where it was convenient to just run a helm command with --dry-run to get the yaml and grab & modify the relevant pi…

Just curious, why should I believe this is merely neocon propaganda? I've read tidbits about this off & on over the years and it doesn't seem that straight forward, even if calling…
