In this case, the parent comment used "richness" as a synonym for being diverse and high quality.

Why would they be cheaper? Lab quality would require lab grade testing and safety, and lab grade ingredients, not to mention taxes on recreational drugs are usually astronomical.

And I doubt it would be easier to get either since they're unlikely to hand out an unlimited quantity to anyone who pays for it even if it were legal.

Looks like it will act similar to rock armor (around 9:00 in the video)

Perhaps it's region dependent, but mopeds in the US typically don't have pedals.

This scenario is specifically listed in the FAQ. Anyone who leaves or is terminated between now and April will still receive the vacation payout.

Agree with the sibling comment.

Snapchat, TikTok, Hacker News, and LinkedIn are all social media sites. In the sense that you can only pay attention to one thing at a time, sure, these are competitors to Twitter.

But as far as actual content, value, or user experience, none of these are direct competitors. How exactly would the White House or your local school district go about making an announcement on TikTok?

If that were true then the Chinese government would have approved the vastly superior mRNA vaccines by now.

>A $10 daily opportunity cost would never deplete your account

Well that's assuming you have no expenses. In your example the difference between realizing the opportunity cost or not is the difference between 10 days of runway and paying the bills in perpetuity.

Bills pile up no matter what, so there's only a limited amount of opportunity cost you can afford to eat.

If all it took was money and trying a bunch of dumb ideas then Bezos' Blue Origin wouldn't be so staggeringly behind SpaceX

I have a family plan. I can confirm I pay $14.99 per month right now and received an email stating it will increase to $22.99.

Perhaps I'm grandfathered into a cheaper plan, but that's my data point.

Whataboutism. Government passing laws on free speech is unrelated to internet platforms enforcing arbitrary rules depending on the outrage mob of the week.

You can compete with Facebook by creating another social media site, as TikTok and Snapchat have demonstrated.

Google search has 92% market share. It is an ad monopoly in the areas it controls.

Google employs ~30k software engineers, each making a ridiculously high salary, yet 80% of their revenue comes from ads (a field which they have a monopoly over).

The products people use every day (Gmail, maps, search, chrome) are nearly 15-20 years old at this point.

Google makes themselves out to be an innovative company that hires the best engineers in the world, but I'm struggling to think of anything notable they've created over the past decade.

If a user has to go to page 15 to find something useful to them then I would argue that's a bigger failure of the UX/filtering than it is a success of pagination.

I don't see how that solves the issue. A record can be updated for multiple reasons unrelated to the current database query, and any update at all to the record would hide it using the timestamp approach, regardless if the update would actually affect which page the data is on.

There's only one left because there is no demand for that kind of travel, which is good evidence that people value time over comfort.

>When people get on at this stop, how far do they travel?

Very few systems that I've ridden on in the US track this kind of information. Most of the time you buy a one way ticket and ride for however many stops you want. There's no tracking for when people get off.

If everyone on the block turns their homes into multiplexes or high rises, this would attract businesses/restaurants to cater to the new residents which would ultimately increase the value of the land and the corresponding taxes, so I'm confused how it's different than property taxes in that regard

Even if you magically knew which startups could be viable 8 years down the road, there's tons of factors completely outside your control that could tank a startup in an instant; e.g. covid, a world war, regulation, etc.

That "carpool as a service" startup might have had a great business strategy up until a pandemic showed up. And if you're spending 8-10 years waiting for a payoff, you only get ~3 shots to pick correctly.

There was a TV show on the TLC channel that covered people like this in the US.

The risk was in the opportunity cost. How much was he making in the first ~9 years pre IPO? As you said he could have made a comfortable salary working 40hrs/week at many other companies but likely took a significant pay cut for many years to found a startup.

Coinbase was valued at 86B a year ago, so hundreds of millions would have been ~.2% of that valuation.

This seems trivial to control for.

Classify each interaction with cops, e.g. traffic stop, wellness check, house call, etc.

Then compare ratings for each classification to see who's performing above/below average.

Here's my attempt to maximize the amount of remaining words. I ended with 7 still remaining.

It was tough to come up with any sequence that didn't have a 50/50 chance of losing on the last guess.

Sample size of 1 here, but the existence of a crosswalk definitely makes me slow down and pay more attention, because I generally assume if an intersection doesn't have a crosswalk then there's probably not any pedestrians crossing.

This is especially true when turning right at a yield sign, e.g. https://drivinginstructorblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06...

Not that simple. Something would have to replace all those plastic containers, and it might not be any better.

Similar to banning plastic bags, we could replace all our disposable water bottles with higher quality *non* disposable plastic bottles. It would be slightly more expensive for companies to produce, but drastically cheaper than paying the proposed tax. Consumers may or may not treat them as disposable anyway, and there's huge health concerns over reusing plastic bottles, especially after exposure to heat.

A simple manufacturing tax wouldn't work though since we'd just start importing bottles from neighboring countries instead

A few other states passed similar laws, including Oklahoma and Texas. Seems absurd that we need to pass laws that let children play outside unsupervised.

Did they fail because they couldn't solve an algorithm? Or was it due to something else - e.g. soft skills, solving without explaining your thought process, system design, behavioral questions.

Algorithms are only one part of an interview. I wouldn't hire someone who was rude or condescending, regardless of how fast they can write an O(n) solution.
