They would not have stopped 9\11. There are many needs for box cutters in the secure zone of airports and so the security of pre then would have caught them. As such it is likely the terrorists obtained their weapons from a ‘friend’ after passing security.
Those tsa lines are the ideal attack boint for a terrorist just plant your bomb is a garbage can and you can kill many without suticide tactics. If the tsa was interested in security you would not allow people to be in lines.
As a C++ developer Rust’s borrow checker is very interesting - it promises to solve my issues with C++ without the issues that make other languages (ie Java, Python…) have in the real world. (remember we choose C++ for a reason, Java isn’t correct for our application - if Java is correct you should use that instead)
That would be achievable in the US as well - 140k US saved and living a “simple life”. Those some people who try it go back to work in a few years because it turns out they value a more complex life. YMMV.
For most of us reading this it is an obtainable retirement income. On the world stage if you can read this you are probably rich. A little bit of savings can get you 3k inflation adjusted once you reach “old age”.
There are very few people who feel this way. CEOs making millions per year feel like they need to work - their mansions, airplanes and such cost so much money they don’t dare not work. It never occurs to them they could live like the rest of us.
Nobody knows. Serious, there are a lot of factors people will point to in here. Some of them are real factors, but every time I dig in I discovered that they do not explain everything. Prices have gone up much faster than inflation for decades even after accounting for government subsidies.
We didn’t used to fund to the tune of $70k per student though. Something just isn’t adding up, but I have no idea what.
I don’t want to hold a tablet up to my ear, and I want the privacy from holding my phone to my ear (vs a speaker phone)
It could exist as an automatic thing, but you need to carefully define in what situations it exists. If anything goes someone will do something absurd - my company is a hitman for so you can’t try me for murder only my company which only has the pistol for assets. Now take the above but for something that is borderline - where are the borders. Should my car automatically be owned by a LLC (this is how most small airplanes are - you often don’t sell the airplane you sell the company that has that airplane as an asset). There are many many situations in life where a LLC might be useful, most of us don’t bother most of the time and are just fine, but maybe we should anyway?
However there is a different consideration: in pretty much all cases where someone wants a LLC the will need some paper anyway because they want different taxes and so you may as well require paperwork for all cases even those few where taxes won’t be a factor.
There are a number of jobs that count various community contributions in your review. This is a very large topic - write a paper in a major journal, give a speech at a conference, submit high profile bug reports - you can get a large raise for it. (the worry of course is that you get a reputation and thus someone gives you a great offer so if they want to keep you they better pay enough that you won’t leave). Exactly what gets you those promotions/raises isn’t clear in part because they need flexibility for someone who honestly discovers a new way to get that reputation and thus they have to give them a promotion. People who don’t deserve the promotion see the policy in place and look for ways to cheat themselves to a promotion they don’t deserve.
right to work means you can have a job in a union shop without joining the union.
My grandpa was a snow plow driver for the state of MN (retired sometimes in the 1990s), but as a republican was always opposed to the union. He still paid union dues, but they were reduced and kept in a separate fund by the union and only used for contract negotiations (important for him - he was a big republican and the union political funds of course donates to democrats). Since he wasn’t a member of the union he couldn’t vote on union leadership, but the leadership called him one of their best people there because he always attended the union meetings where contacts were discussed. As you can start to see not being a union member when there is a union is really complex weird. I’m sure there is more about this that I don’t know about (one obvious thing - what if they voted to go on strike)
Not cracking eggs is part of the job. If they crack and egg they failed. If they don’t crack your eggs they did their basic job. If your distance is longer by enough that this matters they should just charge you more for delivery not pretend about it.
Tipping a wait who fills your water is about them doing a job, and even there it is more about not tipping a waiter who doesn’t do their job.
I’m going to wait and see - there are always unintended consequences and sometime those are bad enough to kill and otherwise good idea. Other times they mean you need to tweak with the simple program to make it work. And as always politicians will have their hand in the whole thing and might completely mess up the implementation until it looks nothing like the name.
I only tip for service. I get mad when places that don’t provide service ask for tips. You don’t tip the clerk at McDonalds or other situations like that. Tipping deliver drivers is unethical - you are inciting them to break driving laws as that is the only way they can provide better service.
It is over $1000 per moth for me that I’m turning away. there is just no way anyone can compete with that. much as I don’t like my insurance my costs must go up by a lot if I skip my companies insurance.
I hate watches. Back before pocket phones (I’m old enough to remember when car phones were a thing for the rich) I carried a pocket watch instead of a wrist watch like most people had. Once I got a flip phone which fit in my pocket I stopped using the pocket watch. (I don’t remember why I had both a “candy bar” phone and a pocket watch)
I think I was in my 20s when I realized that some people/kids actually believe in Santa. I was aware of Christmas/Santa, but that it was just a story nobody thought was real. At least I wasn’t the girl I met about that time who was telling her friends in first grade that Santa wasn’t real.
I belong to of those rare Christian sects that don’t believe in Christmas.

before the train you could not feed a city without water transport. Your transport power would eat more food than it could deliver
Maybe. I have millions of lines of c++ and making rust work with them will often be more work than just implementing the feature in c++
