> There’s an option to toggle back and forth between the highest-quality tier and standard 320kbs, and you can most definitely tell a difference.

No, you can't, in almost all cases. If the difference is as obvious as the description suggests, someone engineered the 320kbs option to sound very bad.
Wouldn't it be better to start investing as early as possible? I'm in my early 20s and have been thinking that if I got a time machine the first thing I'd do is go back ten years and tell myself to get a job.
Finish some novels, work on a side business perhaps.
I wonder why should email be different (why should you change the expiration policy?) Is it explicitly called out in some law that it has to be treated differently? What about if you always use a service that auto-deletes communication every few hours (and it is well-known that this is what the service does and you have no control over it), will that be treated like you are using the phone service for communication?
Yeah I'm on the side of the residents that have lived there for a long time and want to keep it low density single family.

Surely they have more rights that people moving to the bay area. If they want to keep things as they are that should be all that counts.

Yes replacing these suburbs with medium or high density housing will temporarily reduce prices and allow more people to move there but why should current residents have to sacrifice their lifestyle?

Yes, true.

When things seem overwhelming, I like to remind myself that in the 60s things seemed worse. (To me, the 80s and 90s were very good.)
> because the cost of everything I buy will go up by a total of $5k/mo

That isn't how it works. It isn't how it could work. Simple proof: Suppose there are two people, one of whom buys all the same things the other buys plus some more. It is not possible for both of them to find that the cost of what they buy goes up by the same $5k/month.

It is true that if $5k/mo started appearing in everyone's bank account by magic then there would be inflation. But there is no guarantee that the amount of that inflation would be such as to leave everyone in the exact same situation as before.

In particular, some people would gain relative to others. And some possible people would gain (or lose) relative to others. In particular, there would be changes to your situation relative to that of hypothetical-you-who-just-quit-their-job. Or to hypothetical-you-who-just-got-a-job-at-a-hedge-fund. Or whatever. Which might make a difference to your choices. Which is the point of the question.
Assuming $5k USD per month with current purchasing power to avoid the concerns about rent inflation. $5k per month is what I’m expecting in my next job, except my next job will have (hopefully German) taxes.

I’d save as much as I can to buy (another) house, write more, and start a family.
That's a near-perfect example of his point.
Oddly I haven't found them to be significantly cheaper than Uber for an equivalent distance. In some cases they are more convenient so I still use them, but I do find it odd that it isn't cheaper.

My diff equations textbook referred to it as the Heaviside operator. In my EE and control classes, it's called the Laplace transform.
It's amazing to see AF, which used to be one of the stogy legacy carriers, trying an experiment. Most of the legacy "experiments" have been simply low cost, and it's hard to pull that off when you have so much, well, legacy, when your competitors in that strategy are all-in (e.g. easyJet, Ryan, Spirit, Norwegian). Air Berlin re-invented themselves as an easyJet-like carrier for a while (amazingly cramped seats) but apparently couldn't change their DNA. I wish AF the best of luck -- and they seem to be trying the experiment in an interesting, incremental way.

On the distinctive side though there are other new-entrant carriers trying that strategy (Virgin, JetBlue) and mostly pulling it off (well, Virgin didn't make it in the US). In the US I prefer JetBlue when it's available, then Alaska/Virgin, and then Southwest. I'll pay a small amount more but know I'll get a reasonable product. I avoid the legacy carriers where the experience is both expensive and dire, even for international flight.

My experience: former Espace Bleu on AF, 100K on UA, Exec Platinum AA, Mosaic on JB. In other words, despite being considered one of the desirable passengers on UA and AA, service is so bad and so generic that I avoid them.
If conservatives talk about illegal immigration, they would get ostracized and harassed at tech companies even if their position is not "terrible". Its mainly because liberals/democrats/leftists are very vocal about that issue and drown out sensible discussions which do not toe their ideology.
If the conversation is "sensitive" because you are trying to avoid recording evidence of your illegal activity, then yes, it's illegal.
You misunderstood what I meant. I would still keep my job.

I would do nothing DIFFERENT than what I do now. Meaning, everything I spend my money on right now will cost more as everyone receives $5k/mo. So in the end, I won't be able to quit my job, I won't be able to work less, I won't be able to buy more than currently. Literally nothing changes. This concept is completely loss on people who believe UBI is a real thing... it's not. See the reasons as to why Universities are so expensive now. Hint: The Gov. offered more money to students, Uni's saw that there is more money out there... jack the price!

Charging whatever YOU think it's worth is where your reasoning is flawed. The point of charging more is so that you find out what the CUSTOMER thinks your product is worth. However, I understand that the brevity of the sentence makes it seem like the author was asking that you hike the price day after day until your clients start refinancing their houses to pay you, but there are more tasteful ways to increase pricing which is what he was referring to.

Not talking you down - just reminding you never to forget the moral angle.
The way this works is that the law (lawmakers, courts, police) take a dim view of loopholes, as it's a threat to their own power. So they sit down and decide whhether you were in compliance with the spirit of the law and write laws in a way to criminalize that to the extent possible. It's not code.
That Nazis were extremely efficient is a myth, which makes sense if you think about how they organized their government/economy. [1][2]

Though they were effective at killing large numbers of (defenseless) people…

Also they didn't lose the war because of some flaw in their ideology, they lost due to manpower and industrial shortages (inflicted by Soviet and Allied militaries) that limited their ability to wage war.

We have to pick our priorities here. If you want to live in a big, desirable city, you have to make the sacrifices that come with high-density living. If you prefer to live in wide open spaces, then move to a place that's conducive to that life style.

Like 95+% of the suburbs in the USA are at little to no risk of urbanization in our lifetime.
> Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution.

This is wrong, and I'm surprised it's repeated so often. Some ideas are better than others. If you doubt this, ask yourself if, when starting a company, you would choose a random idea or your best idea.

Of course you would choose your best idea, which implies ideas have different value.

EDIT: I'm happy to debate this point with anyone who would otherwise downvote me. Critical replies welcome.

>> I'd like to see these things in every Hospital asap

>Yes sir, right away sir.

If I seem a bit emotionally invested in the topic, it's because I am. My dad died from a heart attack a little under two years ago. One of the side-effects for me has been noticing articles about advancements in the field and caring about them more than I used to. If he had died from it before anyone could potentially do anything, that'd be one thing. But that's not what happened. Medical staff was on-site within minutes. They even claimed he was still alive by the time they arrived at the hospital. But still, he died. He was a month shy of 60.

Of course if he had improved his diet and shed some pounds, he might not have found himself in that situation to begin with so early, but given that heart failure is the number one killer in the US, I don't think that answer is good enough by itself. We need to get to the point that we can save people more consistently.

Heart disease killed more than 10 times as many people in 2016 as any sort of gun death in the US. We should be a lot more concerned with solving this problem as a society.

It's not just big guys like my dad who are at risk. My six year old niece has a small heart defect that could be a problem at some point. You'd think that's pretty rare, but according to some studies, that makes her 1 out of 100 kids.

This stuff needs to be fixed.
It's pretty basic economic theory of supply and demand. If the purchasing power of everyone goes up equally, the price of the same supply will also go up equally, and so in the end, nothing changes. The poor will still be poor, the middle class will still be middle class and the rich will still be rich.
No, I was thinking APL. I gotta look, it might have been one of the ones jecel showed in his comment, but I swear it was smaller.
That explanation is critical. If people can get into that mindset it all works. If not..it is a disaster.
App Hopes to Become Uber for the Modeling Industry, Minus the Abuse
If you're still in search for a solution: dnsmasq acts as a caching dns server listening on your loopback device, so you probably need to change the dns server of your lan/wifi to 127.0.0.1 (or whatever address dnsmasq is configured to listen at), and also set what external dns servers should be used by dnsmasq. Those are usually not setup properly by default.
Still don't quite get it. Additional power sold to the grid means competition to the coal-burning power plants. Assuming the plant's only goal is profit, would they just produce less power and lose money? Or would they try to lower the prices, to possibly lose a little less money?
And then, if the prices do drop, the demand may rise due to
the drop, and could even lead to producing more power by the plant. So Google selling that electricity could yield to even higher carbon emissions. No?
Those are exactly the "grammar checkers" and "pedantic pamphlets" that I referred to (Grammarly is literally a grammar checker). Why should we consider them right and Brontë, Dickens and Melville, and their editors, wrong?

That is not purely a rhetorical question. While I do think that Brontë, Dickens and Melville are right and the authors of your links are wrong, I also would like to know why you and many others think it's the other way round.

Nice strawman there! I think that the idea of sanctuary cities has been taken too far, that the illegal immigration should be curbed and that democrats are just exploiting this for their political gains. I am also a non-white immigrant myself. But discussing my views openly would definitely get me in a few discussions with HR, if not outright fired.

UBI would cause hyper inflation if it came from 'new' money. As in, if the fed just started printing out 5k/mo/person. Most theoretical implementations of UBI suggest the money coming from taxes (taken from larger corporations) or from a reduction of funding in another area (military)

> Parent showed them a generalist skill set and they saw a lack of professionalism.

Yeah, thats part of the pattern. Generalists often do not appear as professional as specialists (which does not mean that everybody who looks unprofessional is a generalist).
I took it as something more like "people are probably willing to pay a lot more than you think they are." Like you said, pricing is subjective. Sometimes people are willing to pay more than you thought, and they still feel they're getting a good deal. Other times, they pay because they feel they have no other choice. Perhaps there's some wisdom in telling the difference.

I think you're saying 'the fuel hasn't been used up' to mean that 'the fuel has not been entirely spent and there is plenty left', and the other person thinks you mean 'no fuel is used at all when the thrusters are fired' which is why they're correcting you. Both are reasonable but different interpretations of 'used up'.

It is the job of the interviewer to ask each person what they are working on, and what they think that they could do instead.

If you're hiring multiple positions, you generally have the room to hire different roles. So it is in everyone's interest for people to do the kind of work that they think they are best at.

If setting up this kind of group interview sounds too risky, you can do it more easily. Go to a startup weekend, look for people you'd want to hire. You get a similar environment and similar opportunity.
