Too bad. the environmentalists know better than you and lettuce is killing the planet.

Sometimes the goal is to slow down work. For example, if your budget is for a year but the project only takes 6 months, sometimes people add extra hurdles that look good to outsiders but slow down work enough so they get paid for the full time.

If a project ends 6 months early it's entirely possible to not get paid as much.

so if I'm an engaged and interested parent, and I want my child to succeed, looks like charter schools are the correct answer about where to send my kids.

Charter schools have inflated performance metrics. Often charter schools don't serve special needs students. More than that, charter schools bias towards engaged and interested parents. Because of policies like No Child Left Behind, it is really bad for local neighborhood schools to have all of their high performing students leave for charter schools.

Thats an interesting way of saying that charter schools get better results.

there have been about a dozen new hires at my work, each of them getting a new mac book and accessories to develop on.

multiply that by all of the new hires across the country and some of the lowest unemployment numbers in years and you've got a good set up for apple's hardware division to make a ton of sales last quarter.

...

but unfortunately, looking at their data, it looks like I was wrong: unit sales for macs fell by 13% compared to last year, and 9% compared to last quarter.

interesting.

Edit: downvotes because I made a prediction before looking at the reports then acknowledged I was wrong and didn't delete my post. Cool.

From an outsiders perspective, this seems like a false distinction that you are using to rationalize your failure to get government contracts.

I have a standard 9-5. The trick to leaving at 230 is to start at 6.

Funny how literature suddenly needs to be "rigorous, objective, scientific" when it criticizes communism, even though it's a first hand account written by a political prisoner.

Keep believing that propaganda.

Would you rather we have wars were America doesn't have a significant advantage?

Maybe like the civil war, where both sides were equal and 750,000 Americans died?

Or WW2, fighting against an arguably better Nazi and Japanese military killed 400,000 Americans?

Or WW1, where the stalemate between both sides led to 120,000 american deaths?

You must be right because all those american deaths are preferable to only 2,000 americans who died in the wars in Afghanistan.

/s obviously

his best and most important work is the Gulag Archipelago[0] and everyone should read it. Its an eye opener that shows how life under communism really is.

military deaths are historically low because of how much better the american military is than our opponents.

the american military is better because of the technology we have.

The technology we have is because of DARPA spending over the last 80 years.

do you see the flaw in your logic?

Trump's not "picking fights", he's getting multiple bids. The American economy is open for business to those willing to give a better deal.

It is literally the same concept as attempting to get as many offers when you sell a house so you can sell to the highest bidder.

We don't live in a monogamous society any longer. Divorce and cheating is absolutely rampant.

No. If someone isn't good enough to find a mate, I don't want their genetics in the next generation.

Evolution made us the best species in the history of the galaxy. Let's not fuck it up now because some loser can't get laid.

why do i even bother with HN comments?

OP: "gives an anecdote about how the article is wrong or incomplete"

REPLY: "gives an anecdote about how the OP is wrong or incomplete"

REPLY-REPLY: "gives an anecdote about how the REPLY is wrong or incomplete"

repeat adnauseum on every comment chain for ever and ever.

How do you pronounce /e/?

"Slashy-slash"?

RSU is "restricted stock unit"?

so basically you get equity worth 250k. But what is the actual take home pay amount?

This won't go over well with companies that pay for the suites as it introduces a huge hassle when inviting clients to ballgames.

"Hey, thanks for doing business with us! Come to a ball game at our company suite, free! We just need your finger print and a scan of your face!"

They are both places to buy goods and services, not really much of a difference tbh.

from the article:

To environmentalists who believe that the technology could be harmful because of toxic fumes from plastic residue, Dr Vasudevan points out that the plastic used is softened at 170C. “Plastic decomposes to release toxic fumes only if it is heated at temperatures above 270C (518F). So there is no question of toxic gases being released,” he says. Since plastic coats the stone and interacts with the hot bitumen, it’s properties change and it doesn’t break down when exposed to light and heat.

That may be true for companies, but not countries.

Saudi aramco is doing an IPO to help fund their 2020 plan and to further diversify their economy and create ties with foreign economies.

This is one of the best deals available

I honestly think those pseudo-pedants didn't actually read or understand the article they just want to sound like they are intelligent so they found some detail to nitpick.

What's stopping people (who don't meet the criteria for this fund) from hiring a woman of color as their CEO specifically to raise capital from this fund?

No. You are putting effect before cause.

It's the high salaries that cause gentrification, not gentrification that causes high salaries.

I met Milo one time. We had a few beers and discussed an investment opportunity.

When he isn't playing his troll persona he is actually a very intelligent and reasonable person.

Nothing is ever good enough for HN users, is it? A step in the right direction is always bad here in the comments.

1984 is required reading in many highschools. It's well known.

Why is Fibonacci the standard performance test? I want to know how it runs on complex objects with complex computations.

Also this entire article seems to be content marketing for crystal.

And, oh, btw, crystal isn't windows compatible.

Japanese is a race.

Why should the government care about people who don't care enough to vote?
