Which is actually a good thing for the state in question. People's incomes are divided up proportionally typically between shelter, living costs, and savings. That is, a low income family will generally spend 50% of their income of shelter, and 50% on living. A middle income will typically spend 33% of their income on shelter, 33% on living, and 33% will be saved etc. This is independent of the actual absolute wage they get, as you rightly say.
The key though is that that 33% saved by the middle income family will be a larger absolute amount, which will give them more opportunity to move to lower average income areas in later life, and have a higher quality of life.
It is in a state's interest to have high inflation, as long as it's not extreme. Inflation is what makes that state's citizens better off than the neighbouring one.
No, it's simple - by raising the minimum wage, they also raised the spending power of the people in the state, increasing the profitability of the local companies, and driving growth. Most of the companies that will have had to raise their wages significantly are the very large out of state companies like McDonalds, who will remain there whatever. Thus, no jobs really are lost due to the fast food chains moving out, but jobs are created by the increased spending power of the people who work at McDonalds.
Long story short, the increased minimum wage took money from McDonalds' off shore tax avoidance fund, and put it into the state.
The problem with smoking is not that it harms your health, it's that it harms other people's health, and makes other people's environment less pleasant to be in. That's why smoking is (typically) banned in public places, or near public buildings, but not banned in the comfort of your own home (that said, even there, it can have severe impacts on children/other members of your family).
that's a poor argument. After all, physics is just applied maths
Notably though, you won't see anyone trying to claim that you don't need to be good at maths to be good at physics though;). Mostly because physics is a more mature field, and they all recognise by now that it is applied maths, and requires you to get the maths right.
The problem is, you've actually used maths every day in your career, you just haven't realised it. When you are programming, you are by definition doing maths - programming is a branch of discrete applied maths.
Actually knowing the theory of discrete applied maths obviously makes you better at doing discrete applied maths.
Bullshit, the forms you need to fill in when you submit your H1-B application require you to provide listings of similar jobs, and how much you pay them. I'm from the UK, but I live in the US, under an H1-B, hence knowing what you have to fill in on the forms;).
And when you had to present evidence of how much a US citizen earned doing the same job, and why the salary you were paying these guys was at least as high, how did you prove that?
Hmm, My immediate thought actually is that there's a fucking huge overlap. Print your own cornicing for your house... Print your own bath plugs... Print your own custom pipes for the awkward places that are unique to your house... Print your own parts to customise fixtures and fittings. The list is basically endless in the DIY landscape. The only worry home depot might have is that there might be too much overlap, and their sales of other things might drop!
On the contrary, it means almost exactly the same thing. It means the centre of the OS, which manages the hardware. The fact that it was relatively naïve doesn't change the fact that it was a kernel.
Incorrect, in modern F1, it's virtually unheard of for the monocoque (the footwell, plus the rest of the area the driver sits in) to be compromise in any way. This includes head on into the barriers at 200mph type crashes. At the British grand prix last week, Kimi Raikkonen walked (with a sore ankle) out of a 47g impact. The monocoque was perfectly in tact.
If you don't want to get left behind the fads, don't choose an area that's all about fads.
Any kernel developer will currently be using basically the same toolset as they used in 1980. Any driver developer will currently be using basically the same toolset as they used in 1980. Any game developer will currently be using basically the same toolset as they used in 2000.
Not everyone jumps on a new shiny framework every 2 years because they're struggling to overcome the limitations of a crappily designed language like javascript. If you don't want to jump from fad to fad... just don't be a web dev.
Right, but I've even seen what you're suggesting happen. This is when this "kindness" is at its most frustrating.
You sit and wait for a gap to get out of a junction. You see a gap, and you get yourself ready to slot into it. Then the jerk in front of the gap decides to be "kind" and slows down to try and let you out. He inevitably miscalculates, and ends up not letting you out, and also closing the gap behind him.
My only assumption is that they don't actually look around them while they're driving. I see this all the time - drivers letting one person out, and holding up an entire queue behind them instead. They simply must not realise there are people behind them.
I'm pretty sure you'll have a hard time trying to find a user who legitimately wants to pass arguments to command line tools by naming a bunch of files according to those arguments;)
Bullshit. Roundabouts are used as the primary method of forming intersections between multilane major roads, and motorways in any country other than the US. They are perfectly capable of dealing with huge amounts of traffic.

And yet, somehow, a figure picked out of GP's ass to cause a stir... is?
more than $140,000 a year, but less than $180,000 (plus various other things like stock etc)
And when you had to present evidence of how much a US citizen earned doing the same job, and why the salary you were paying these guys was at least as high, how did you prove that?
As a foreign worker in the US, I have no idea where you got that $15 an hour from. I can assure you, I'm paid substantially more than that.

What about this link says the design is better?
But notably, the 3% that actually pay worth a damn ;)

Right, they announced a product that no one had done any work on at all... That sounds likely.
They make them out of carbon fibre, layed up in interesting ways usually involving a honeycomb sandwich between two layers of flat carbon fibre.

In this crash, Kubica hit the wall at 300km/h. While the car was completely destroyed, the monocoque was again, completely in tact.

Bullshit. In 1960 you would be correct. In 1980 kernels were written in C, for new fangled micro computers.
If you don't want to get left behind the fads, don't choose an area that's all about fads.

No, pretty sure you're doing it wrong actually - crispy fish skin is a wonderful thing.
