I would rather be charged for what I'm using instead of an amount that's fudged to amortize unexpected incidental costs over all users. Maybe some kind of additional insurance against extra costs might be a feature that some users would use, but I prefer to self-insure than help others defray costs.

Perhaps you're comparing a multithreaded version with a single threaded version, or a single-host build vs distributed build.

When adding new features to a compiler, you might want to verify that the old and new versions have the same output given the same input. If your compilers produced non-deterministic output, this exercise would not be possible.

Like the GP says, I can't imagine that would take more than a few days, even for a very large project with many dependencies.

Doesn't that statistic imply that working more correlates with higher earnings?

Savings like these are generally passed on to stakeholders; existing contracts (e.g. vendors, clients, employees, contractors) are rarely automatically renegotiated to reflect lower cap ex

WeWork isn't a great apples-to-apples comparison with a residence; it's more like a hotel. This lease almost certainly includes insurance, maintenance, cleaning, and maybe even services like a stocked kitchen, receptionist/office manager, security

If they're paying you, isn't it dedicated solely to your economic activity?

The uniformity across all devices is great in Safari too. Synced passwords between my work laptop, home laptop, phone, and iPad is such a convenience. Also great if I'm reading an article at home and then want to bring it up on the phone for my commute and then my work laptop when I arrive--totally seamless.

Is it ethical to genetically engineer animals (e.g. people) to be braindead?

Yes, generally if you work full time, your employer contractually owns any IP you produce unless you disclose that you're involved in outside projects.

This is throwing any efficient-market hypothesis out the window. Msybe this would work for a year, but why would anyone invest in fund B if it is a consistent loser. If you can figure out a way to slowly buy an asset and then quickly buy more of it and make both strategies profitable at all, then you're onto something huge. Almost as huge as Ren Tech

Who is this guy and why is this website spreading his opinions. Nothing he says is based in facts or data. All of his conclusions begin with "I feel" not "The data indicate."

He says, "I’m sure the British Empire in the 1700s and 1800s always thought they would have a toehold in different parts of the world." How is he sure? Is there data to support this claim? He doesn't even cite a primary source. What is "the British Empire" even? The common citizens? The intellectual class? The monarchy? He's just saying things.

"The U.S. has always been, I would say, on the right side of the bell curve when it comes to jingoism — a little bit more patriotic than most countries." Is there data to substantiate this claim?

"I feel like the U.S. peaked in the ’90s." How is this defined? The US economy is bigger; the military is stronger; its foreign interests are more secure. It just happens to be this guy's childhood when America peaked. This is just some guy inventing some narrative rooted in his own nostalgia.

This is just some guy blathering. He should rightfully be afraid to share these beliefs, because they are completely unsubstantiated and not based in reality. It's just what he "feels," which should be uninteresting to anyone else. It is journalistically irresponsible to spread such misinformation without at least some fact-checking.

They would have less of an opportunity to become iconic if the biggest media distributors censored them immediately.
