Target date funds aren’t index funds, and have higher fees.

Pivotal has been talking about an IPO for years, yes - but the exact announcement timing could perhaps be adjusted in reaction to other events.

Well, when you make claims suggesting that large groups like the “entire medical profession” may be acting on motives other than what they claim, or that medical experts may be just scamming money out of people, it does sound like a conspiracy theory.

You seem to be wildly over reacting, I don’t see hostility in his comments.

> This is particularly so when Europeans talk about other European countries, as in this particular case.

Given that you appear to be incorrect about this case being such an example, are you still sure that it’s all well meaning comradery?

And you can tell Americans by their assumption that everyone else on the internet is also American.

His name is pretty Anglo Saxon, he had a solidly well off Canadian childhood and he has previously lived in Russia, France, and Austria.

Is "people have improved over the last few decades" really the core of his argument though? I think you'd need to actually address the Enlightenment, or at least a longer period of time.

What? They are supposed to find longterm parking if they want to leave their car sitting useless for days at a time, not use public space for it. And if they are regularly not needing their car for days at a time and they're unwilling to pay for storage, maybe they should get rid of it and find another way to take their weekly ski trip.

I live on Capitol Hill and regularly see parking enforcement checking cars, but if there are cars that you think are hanging around too long near you, you can report them at https://www.seattle.gov/police/need-help/abandoned-vehicles

Oh awesome, that does it! And in fact it shows that I have a 6am alarm for tomorrow that I don't need :)

I think the difference is that the caste system relies on the poor being there, it doesn't imagine that they should all disappear.

All I want for my iPhone is an alarm app that has a widget which will show me when the next alarm will go off (and ideally give me the time remaining if it's within a day). I'm always double checking that I didn't edit my daily alarm or leave it disabled after a vacation or set tomorrow's alarm to 7pm instead of am...

How many hours a week do they work? How many of those are overhead hours that Heal takes care of for them? How many of them are average? What other costs of running a clinic are there?

Well, if you build a clinic it needs to be wheelchair accessible, and have access to parking for all the patients that might be present at one time, for example. If you visit patients then they either live somewhere accessible or not and you just need to get one car to their place.

That's not how I read the comment and in fact seems almost unrelated.

Interesting - what’s the justification for doing that?

I think you are agreeing with the comment you responded to.

Not exactly - the bigger problem is that all the republicans controlled midwestern states are shitty economies and so people move to places where they hear that people can get jobs (functioning liberal states) and when that doesn't work out they end up homeless in the new city. (Various polls of homeless people in Seattle have found that most of them were already in the area immediately before they became homeless).

What are you saying no to?

You didn’t have to say much about refugees, even a few words can be completely wrong.

A lot of people are doing that, they’re calling it “marching”

The sponsoring immigrant is means tested on their behalf.

Is that a real world scenario or something you can imagine but haven't actually done?

Plenty of people have hand rolled crypto too. "Lots of people do it" doesn't always point to an actual gap in the available tools.

Gotten worse? I haven’t noticed anything worse, hasn’t seemed very different at all. I don’t have a business account though - do you have anything specific in mind?

It is not at all equally common, it is a known health risk for men that they are likely to have less social support than women, and it is one of the contributors to the very elevated mortality risk of becoming a widower compared to becoming a widow. Here’s a reference to a few older studies if you like - https://books.google.com/books?id=J3-78PdF83kC&pg=PA201&lpg=...

This comment is a fantastic example of not knowing enough to know how ignorant you are - to start with, you appear to be conflating “knowledge” with “learning”.

I live in Seattle, and I’d say that your crazy lifestyle is why you didn’t make friends here - and that it’s probably the same cause for most people who complain about the Seattle Freeze. You worked all day and hung out with family all weekend and an amazing friendship didn’t climb down your chimney? How baffling, must be the city culture to blame. (I moved here for work out of college, and made plenty of friends - by socializing in the evenings).
