I wish there was a browser plugin or something that would give you a vetted synopsis like this for articles you view.

Best comment I've seen in a long while.

No. Came out 2, 2 1/2 weeks ago.

If you throw out MacOS (and you can, given the product in question), it's nearly 1/3.

You're dodging the issue. Assuming the officer is guilty outright, seem dangerous honestly.

Not only does that likely happen a lot less than you think, but you'd probably still be off the clock more if you count your commute drive time.

I'm just pointing out that this is basically a comfortable way of looking at depression. I WANT to believe that most people on anti-depressants are just going through some shit rather than having something that needs medication for treatment. I WANT that, but I have no actual reason to believe it.

Sounds like you don't have any real evidence either.

> but it seems most cases aren't that

I like to think this also, but is it actually true? Has anyone done that survey?

I'm assuming grandparent is assuming injuries incurred due to bike mishandling. It's fairly common amongst the training crowd to take spills resulting in road rash or a broken collar bone due to poor roads or just mishandling.

Taking a hit from a motorist often results in more traumatic injuries.

>The researchers wasn't asking "how good of a parent do you think they are"

They may not have asked that question, but that seems to be the question people were answering. Isn't it somewhat obvious that we almost never answer the literal question?

If I consider the situation where the parent left their 2 year old alone to go meet a lover vs going to work to put food on the table, I'll judge the former situation more harshly. To explain myself, I'd say both situations put the child at the same risk, but the first situation is not a responsible reason to assume that risk.

In short, when you present these scenarios, you're not asking me, "mathematically, which situation is more dangerous for the child?". You're implicitly asking me, "is this parent making a responsible decision?".

Not so in the US either, at least not universally. My credit card companies have followed this same pattern when there has been a dispute.

I am not a financial professional so hopefully someone else will chime in, but...

My understanding is that your 401k can't be pilfered directly by the government since they don't hold it. This is different from pensions where the company actually held the pension money and changing the terms led them to actually take it.

The government CAN get at your 401k money using the same technique you are calculating against with respect to ROTH accounts. That is, since it is tax deferred, you're essentially betting that you'll be in a lower or at least equivalent tax bracket compared to current when it comes time to pull that money out.

It's conceivable that they just up the tax rates enough that when it comes time to pull your money, the government can get at as much of your funds as it likes based on taxes alone.

I'm sure there are other risks involved, but that seems like the most obvious.

I think you're confusing a trained person training to get better with a sedentary person training to not be sedentary.

In the weight training community there's a thing everyone calls "newb gains". It's basically this study in played out in a weightroom. In a nutshell, it's that you don't need interesting training programs or massive amounts of gym time to get started. Just a few basic lifts a few times a week. Once you get a baseline, your gains level out and you have to start being smarter with your training. I'll bet a solid handshake that the same general pattern will apply here.

This study took out of shape people that didn't exercise and asked them to exercise. The program isn't so much important as is the fact that getting people doing anything strenuous ends up being beneficial.

Eventually their "gains" will level out and if they want to run a 10k in under 45 minutes, they're going to have do a lot more interesting training.

Sounds like you should advocated for a drinking age of 25 instead. Or move all those other things you get to do at 18 to 25 also.

I never felt that situation was clearly resolved in my mind. The essentially ran a subscription dvr service. It's hard for me to wrap my mind around how it's illegal for a business to do that, but just fine for me to do it myself.

Go nuts...

Aside from the many ways to get exceptions, this little nugget....

>An employer who violates the WARN provisions is liable to each employee for an amount equal to back pay and benefits for the period of the violation, up to 60 days.

...pretty much says companies can do what they want. For a lot of these folks, that's a severance.

And the number of accidents with advanced systems + shit pilots is still lower than that of good pilots + no advanced systems.

That's also worth keeping in mind.

Yes, but the title is still a lie.

But not what the title says, which is OP's point.

All these little things add up though. Every device that gets less battery life than expected is taking more power to run. That power likely comes from a non-clean source. Given, it's not on the scale of the automobiles, but dismissing it outright may be a mistake.

The game changer is the uber/lyft drivers are doing in their free time and generally __want__ to do it. So they show up when scheduled, have a pleasant demeanor, and make the whole experience one that isn't uncomfortable.

Cabbies are there for the cash and their attitude and style reflect that. Cab rides are typically reckless, the drivers rude, and the cars uncomfortable.

Of course, these are sweeping generalizations, so take it with a grain of salt.

Regardless, the game changer is the experience from app to to destination. Not just the app.

Have Compagnolo components ever been compatible with other maker's parts? As far as I know Shimano and SRAM are compatible, and most of the smaller players work in the same way. Compagnolo, AFAIK, is the only outlier here.

As for the seat post, it's these molded carbon frames that seem to be built for short use and then the trash that are problematic in my eyes. They're just wasteful and most of the people buying them are doing it just to buy some time for their various races.

Having gotten in to triathlons a bit lately, I'm constantly annoyed that someone can literally buy gear to make themselves minutes faster, even though our engines may be comparable. I wish the organizing bodies would standardize the equipment for competition.

This is the debate. How much liberty are you willing to give up to catch a few bad apples?

> while it's a significant fraction of current revenue

That's why. They aren't doing anything out of the goodness of their hearts. If there's no money involved, at least tangentially, it's not something they are going to do.

The driver would be inconvenienced.

What makes it more amazing is that MS bought them a short time back. They've pushed out a couple of updates since, but still no exchange support.

It wasn't a "few" years. It was ~30 years.

Are you going to go through this dilemma for all your developers when they consider jumping ship at various points of their careers? Probably not, so you're already doing something special for this person.

Since you seem to be intent on being a robot with regard to personnel decisions, there is only one question to answer: Is your company going to go down the tubes if he/she leaves? If so, do what you can to keep them. If not, cut ties and move on.

As an aside, I find it humorous that you're consulting an anonymous online message board for this type of advice. Surely you've handled more difficult problems than this in growing to a 50 person company?

99.9% of the people who do this aren't going to seriously get into mining. It just doesn't work that way and you know it.

Secondly, that's a hell of a cost to attempt to get mindshare.

Thirdly, there's no way for a reasonable person to be competitive mining these days, so the idea that more people should mine is somewhat laughable.

Unless I've missed it, there still hasn't been an announcement on what Grails is going to do. I just assumed they'd announce in tandem.
