Every couple years is probably more accurate. Hardware fails all the time, especially at scale. Hard drives fail all the time, solar equipment isn't magically different. Once a full neighborhood has solar, someone will have a defective panel, a defective inverter, an improper install that needs to be redone, storm damage, panels that need cleaning, panels that get damaged from cleaning, or a building gets renovated/replaced/destroyed.
You are likely getting lead free, asbestos free, central heating(cooling), double pane windows, vastly better insulation, more fire resistant, better and more appliances, and depending on locations things like: full basements, attached garages, screened in patio/porch, or pools.
Hybrid makes a lot of sense to me for these reasons. In person can be so much faster and simpler for heavily collaborative tasks. Five people in a conference room for an hour will accomplish more than those same 5 in a zoom call, and it's less likely for unnecessary people to be part of an in person meeting. Spending 4+ hours on Zoom/Teams calls in a day is also one of the most draining experiences I've ever had as well, full days of meetings in person are far more tolerable.
I'm not sure that anyone can seriously believe there isn't collusion happening among telecom companies, the failed Comcast and Time Warner practically had it in writing that there was collusion. Anti-trust action isn't ever going to happen though, so there isn't much that can be done.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if web forms could also provide a faster and more user friendly experience even with all the page loads than some SPAs.
you spend about 50% of waking hours with co-workers, it doesn't make sense to me that you would want to ignore them. The majority of my friends are former/current co-workers.
Make it clear this is an un-substantiated claim by the company. This isn't print media another sentence costs nothing. "Amazon refused to comment on specific costs," "no details of absorbed costs were provided," or just use language like "Amazon claims X." This would require thinking about press releases instead of regurgitating them though.
Part of the problems critics face is that with the fall of traditional media and the consolidation of movie studios they have essentially become shills. There aren't powerful enough critics to say "This Disney movie is terrible" and stay a critic for much longer.
California literally dictates the emissions standards for the US car market. Single states are already making multi-nationals comply with their rules and are much smaller than the federal government.
To add to this even if you can't pay, still file your taxes. It's so much better to only be on the hook for not paying than both not paying and not filing.
There isn't money in narrow spectrum antibiotics, because there isn't need yet. We don't have infinite resources, so putting effort into a looming, but not yet existing crisis can very easily lead to worse outcomes.
This is why pharmaceutical sales representatives are so important. Most doctors are far too busy treating patients day to day to stay up on every new drug that comes out. CME can help cover some of this, especially with new procedures or treatments, but nothing can keep up with the 100 new drugs for diabetes. what really helps doctors is having people that can come talk to them, tell them that drug X is better than Y, give them the literature if they want it, tell them what insurance has a chance of covering it. Some doctors will always do what they know, but the majority just need to know there is a better option.
I think you are getting too into the weeds with these complaints. This hierarchy is pretty good. Performance and security are important, but they aren't always a full stop, where a change the breaks the API should always be a full stop. Each higher level is less likely to be a hard stop, and the border between levels is necessarily somewhat grey.
While physics can explain a lot of everyday life, you don't need to actually know it, understand it, or even be correct about it to use the effects. Humans built structures long before we formalized the definition of gravity, but they still stood up. We don't YOLO astronauts in the first draft of a spaceship design and hope for the best, but that's pretty much how economics works.
It depends on the accuracy and speed. If a dog can detect cancer in a stool sample with 90% accuracy, and the dog can go through 1k+ samples a day, then that sounds like a good deal. The value proposition is in high volume and low invasive tests that can reduce the need for slower or more invasive tests. If we could screen everyone for colon cancer from a stool sample with a trained dog, then we could reduce the recommended frequency for a colonoscopy and still catch as much or more cancer. There is a lot of money saved if the average person without colon cancer only needs 1-2 colonoscopies in a lifetime instead of 4-5.
A state being a net contributor generally means they have a lot of high paying jobs and successful companies concentrated in their state. Michigan is actually a good example as you can see when the big 3 auto companies were at their peak the state was a net contributor, but it has been a receiver since their decline.
Switching makes sense because the length of day varies by 3-4 hours for a lot of the population over a year. Switching means about a week of unpleasantness twice a year, where not switching would be 30-60 days around the summer or winter solstice are miserable.
There has been a "daylight savings is the worst thing since Hitler" type post every time change for as long as I can remember, it's the ultimate bike shedding topic. It actually has a lot of parallels to most covid posts, there are a lot of competing benefits and many are angry their preference isn't given the most weight.
This requires essentially every business, person, and entity in existence to change hours all at the same time at least twice a year. It is far easier to just change the clock and know that a store closes at 8 than having to remember it closes at 7 starting this week. I get this is an age old retort, but it's because the common proposals always ignore reality.
-changing schedules is still a change.
-changing a single time is easier than changing infinite schedules.
-the change is going to suck either way because it's a change.
unless you do this in the left lane or something, it probably doesn't change throughput that much or at all. A major cause of traffic jams is cascades of braking, so leaving a safe distance allows for coasting instead of overreacting to brake lights, and prevents a traffic jam. You can get higher capacity temporarily, but eventually by reducing distance, you just cause a jam that destroys throughput.
Credit score only matters if you want to borrow money. If you already have a mortgage, your credit score is basically invincible unless you stop paying or declare bankruptcy. Fluctuations for hard pulls and closing accounts are temporary.
Most loans are simple interest, or "compounded" monthly with a payment greater than the interest so there is no compounding. This is generally good for the consumer, you don't want interest compounding against you. Is it possible you meant interest only loan?
Wide salary bands will only lead to people applying that qualify for around the low end. If you advertise for 100k-150k, the 150k candidate will skip you for a 130k-180k posting. I'm not going to waste time applying for a job that has a range where 20%-50% of the range is below my minimum expectations.
Public sector isn't a great thing to base conclusions on, while the published ranges are lower, so are the expectations. As someone with public sector experience, they absolutely get what they pay for.
