My point was just to dispute the "Indians get a free rid to college whereas U.S. folks have to pay for it" complaint. Side note: if the person you were working with who didn't know her ass from a hole in the ground was hired by your company, then you're company is at least as bad at interviewing as she was at coding.:)
I was talking to an Indian coworker of mine about this yesterday. You pretty much have to pay for private primary and secondary school since the public schools are abysmal. College is also not free. It's much cheaper than U.S. universities (~$500-3000/year) but the avg. Indian income is around $600/year. So here's our comparison:
Her:
* Parents paid for expensive primary and secondary education
* Worked way, way harder than I did while she was in school
* Parents paid for college that was expensive relative to national income level
* Has to deal with biased belief among American hiring managers that Indian (and/or female) employees just aren't as effective
Me:
* Free primary and secondary education at decent public schools (magnet)
* Free (tuition at least) undergraduate education by way of merit scholarship; parents paid room/board, which was relatively painless for them
* Free postgraduate education by way of fellowship and tuition reimbursement
* Hiring managers never discount my ability because I'm foreign, or a woman (I'm a white dude)
1. Top-tier games don't not supported, or run more slowly.
2. Top-tier productivity software not supported.
3. Doesn't come preinstalled many/most places.
4. Many users already familiar with another O.S. and don't want to re-educate themselves.
5. Not ideal for developing software deploying to Windows, Mac or iOS.
6. Less likely to be supported by random hardware, e.g. printers.
My point was that this is anecdotal evidence against the claim that Fortnite is uniquely addictive among video games, and in favor of the view that it's just another game and there's nothing especially bad or addictive about Fortnite per se.
Getting your hours cut doesn't negate wage gains. You can use the time you're not working for Amazon to work somewhere else. Or just relax and enjoy yourself, earning the same $ for fewer hours-worked.
Facebook almost surely wasn't the source. It was the medium. We could also say the kids mother got all her information from one source: "the internet', then blame "the internet" for propagating anti-vax info. That would be wrong for the same reasons.
What exactly do the truck drivers think they’re accomplishing? And what do they think they’re protesting?
Just guessing here. Accomplishing: irritating Tesla owners, making it less convenient to own a Tesla. Protesting: subsidies to Tesla, people who don't like fossil fuels, environmentalism in general.
The two approaches don't seem all that different. Each one presents a scenario in which you either a. keep Facebook or b. you're some amount (e.g. $1000) richer.
I get (sort of) why solar panels require exotic materials. There's some complex stuff going on to change light into electricity. But why do windmills need anything fancy? Aren't they basically just giant hand cranks, powered by the wind instead of by a human hand?
Apple got $25M from a state-level fund, and is angling for a 15-year tax abatement on the property. Not sure which tax authority (or authorities) that applies to (city, county, school districts, etc.)
Speak for yourself. I want more jobs to move into the area for which I'm at least marginally qualified. I also own property; to the extent it increases cost-of-living, it also causes my property to appreciate.
There's tons of stuff not detected by the more common "non-medical" tests, e.g. 23andme, ancestry.com, etc. I paid $500 for a "medical" genetic screening (from Counsyl) as part of a fertility consultation. It found I'm a carrier for Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. To my knowledge, 23andme doesn't even test for it.
Cut a deal with one of those national "testing center" companies, and require students to sit for exams at one of their locations. They're not everywhere, but they're distributed widely enough that most students won't have a very long drive.

I use like...three...apps, so I just stick to Mac. :)

My 12 year old stopped playing it, voluntarily. He now plays Rainbow Six: Siege and Apex Legends. And Terraria.

All three of them?
For someone with those two motivations (pay and status), seems like law or medical school would be a better option. Particularly the latter.

Sounds like a good argument not to rent to anyone who doesn't have a reasonable minimum number of positive reviews.
Would be interested to know if those counties are still "backwards" when U-6 unemployment is used instead of U-3. Maybe.
Fire up the RV, drive somewhere other than Palo Alto, and find a job there.
Mozilla is sad that Firefox was completely left out of this analysis. 12% ain't much, but it's roughly AMD's share of the desktop CPU market.

That show is garbage.

What's the net loss? Presumably, as temperatures rise, some parts of the earth that are currently uninhabitable will be come habitable.
