I wouldn't choose to give up any personal information to read a news article.

What this fails to account for is that the tax raised by taxing the top incomes also has benefits for society - through government spending.

It's a trade-off: higher tax revenues vs higher innovation.

I suspect that the impact of higher taxes on innovation would be relatively small compared to the benefit of higher tax revenues.

A few lines below: "For example, a TLS server running in a virtual machine on a public cloud server, where the physical server hardware is shared between the victim’s TLS server and an attacker’s virtual machine."

The entire article addresses the question of whether antimatter "falls-up" or "falls-down". In other words, does gravity act in the normal way on antimatter, or is its action inverted?

Does the job involve high stress and a challenging social situation?

Doesn't sounds like somewhere I want to work.

The bank doesn't own your house. The asset it has is the mortgage on your house. The bank could could sell the mortgage, but the only impact to you is that your mortgage payments go to someone else.

Psychotherapy, meditation and community.

> although we can't

The quote says we can.

Perhaps just the dots is enough to deter them.

Not sure why you can't have a bit of CSS just because you don't want your data collected.

So the ratio of median home prices to median family income has moved from about 3 to about 4.5 over the last 50 years.

This is because the many manufactured things have dropped in price over that period of time. This has meant that families have more money available to spend on things that are not manufactured. Land is the epitome of something that cannot be manufactured, so goes up in value.

Here's an article on Baumol's cost disease which explains this: https://www.vox.com/new-money/2017/5/4/15547364/baumol-cost-...

But yet he "clearly knew his stuff".

Perhaps he really was a very talented developer but your coding exercise was too stressful for him. Shame you missed out on hiring him.

This is not a story to show why we should do coding exercises. It is a story to show why they sometimes don't test the right thing.

Just because it is expanding, doesn't mean it isn't finite.

The current bandwidth is finite. The future bandwidth is finite. Even if we use all the resources available to us, expanding at the speed of light to capture those resources, it's still finite.

It would apply in a restaurant. I've eaten the food and want to settle up, here's the cash. They have to accept it.

I think that if I was standing 0.57m from a cow all day, that might have some significant impact - just not in a gravitational sense.

Unfortunately it doesn't work on image searches.

The normal complaint about crypto in JS is that, as a user, I cannot tell what JS is going to be delivered to me this time. Perhaps a security letter forced an update to broken crypto.

I'm all in favour of a regular informal discussion around what aspects of the job are being done well and what could be improved.

But I suspect you are talking about something more formal, something tied to salary increases.

I think such appraisals are damaging to the relationship between employer and employee. The only benefit is for the company in that they make it clear that you can't have maximum marks on everything (which is fair enough), but then tie that to salary increases. "Well, we would have given you a bigger pay rise, but you didn't get top marks on this particular skill." Or similarly, evidence to get rid of someone you wanted out.

It's just a really accommodating radio station that always plays your requests, no?

I used "Hand Bookbinding" by Aldren Watson to learn how to bind a book.

I learnt because I wanted to rebind "The Road to Reality" by Roger Penrose because the original paperback that I has was just too thick. I ended up with a three volume set.

The Penrose book came with signatures glued into the "paper" cover, so I didn't have to make them. But many paperbacks come "perfect bound" where each page is a single sheet and glued individually to the cover, which makes rebinding more challenging.

What's 5 x 7?

Making a drink doesn't sound like it would be something inherently enjoyable. Perhaps you believe it is because of the boost you get when you drink it. Would making it for others be enjoyable in the same way?

When you next make a cup, try to tease out exactly what it is that you enjoy about making it. What is it about that experience that makes it enjoyable?

Sounds interesting, but it's paywalled.

This is the kind of thing that eager prosecutors will turn into a CFAA charge.

Economic theory predicts that demand for those employees will fall and that businesses will reduce their hours, but doesn't necessarily predict that each employee will end up with less money overall.

You can see the S-shape in the curve. We hit peak growth in the 1970s and it has been slowing since.
