Boise isn't the most expensive real estate market in the country. Maybe the prices have been increasing the fastest?

How did that happen, did they ask you for a complete list of all software that you run?

No, did I suggest that approach?

I'd opt for a simpler and less precise name like "Sort by Rating", but then offer the more precise definition via a tooltip or something, to minimize complexity for the typical user but ensure that accurate information is available for those who are interested.

If you're granted an equal amount each year, then you'll get a similar amount in your first year at a competitor who also grants an equal amount each year.

There are effects in both directions. Increasing wages increases prices and not having labor available reduces production, which also leads to higher prices.

It's possible for your work to have impact in both the present and future even if it isn't actively recalled from anyone's memory after you retire.

I can’t speak for the person you’re replying to, but I suspect the idea may be that the students are able to “make it” in the sense of holding down a job, but not in the sense of being particularly competent / productive.

Hyperinflation and concerning political instability worth relocating over can happen without quite reaching the level of a zombie apocalypse.

Legally?

What’s wrong with e-mail?

Yes, and it would be better if this sort of inefficiency isn’t directly incentivized by legislation.

Mailing addresses that are not your physical address may be a decent workaround, but should that even be necessary?

There are effects in both directions - there’s both less upside due to higher taxes and less downside due to the safety net.

Ah, yeah, fully agree - I just saw your mention of having 25 years experience, which made me think basically "if not you, then who?"

I didn’t intend to imply that the problem could be solved by an army of people fresh out of boot camps with no senior level supervision.

I'm also realizing now that just because you "would consider it extremely daunting" does not necessarily mean that you don't think you could be a net positive contributor.

Eh, someone's got to do it. Letting thing stagnate in perpetuity isn't cheap either. Move slowly and write tests.

Historically, minting and printing were both physical processes.

Sure, I've just found that it can be helpful to clarify intent is all, especially when you're dealing with someone you've just met - e.g. maybe the interviewer is mostly reasonable, but is scarred from past negative experiences with colleagues who were legitimately lazy. This phrasing might help such a person understand where you're coming from a bit more easily.

Someone who replies with that kind of hyperbole is just saying they don’t want anyone who is going to take more than a bare minimum of PTO.

If you’re dealing with a reasonable person, you should be able to preface the question by explaining how having sufficient time off helps you do your best work and avoid burnout, and that you want to clarify expectations up front to make sure that you and the company are an ideal match.

It’s also of course a bit less risky to bring up this sort of thing a bit later in the interview process when you’ve built a bit of a rapport with the interviewer and ideally demonstrated your value somewhat.

Would you mind providing some examples? I'm curious which platforms you've noticed doing this. On the bright side, at least some platforms are actually providing real data via Chainlink feeds.

Sure, but politicians running for national level positions (i.e. President) run a single campaign, and they have to select a single position set for that campaign (1).

You're right that the game theory is more complicated than it would be in a national popular vote contest, but I suspect that the optimal position isn't all that far off from where it would be in a single nationwide Hotelling game.

(1) Mostly, at least, I know they can of course run different ads and given different speeches in different states, flip flop, etc, but their reputation and messaging is inevitably going to bleed across state lines / time quite a bit.

What sorts of posts cause this in your experience?

Yes, most people do, it's just that increases in rates have a tendency to cause decreases in homes values because a larger proportion of monthly payments will now have to go towards paying the interest.

Sounds like the protest wasn't very effective!

I’ve heard this before but very rarely. I think it’s a regional thing.

Oof, thanks.

Wow, who was it in their government who was discussing a NWO? Do you have any link / source / context?

> Salary is very important to employees, but the total cost of employing somebody is more important to an employer.

Salary is arguably more important to an employee than the total cost of employing them is to the employer because for the typical employee their salary is close to 100% of their income, while labor expense is less than that for nearly all corporations.

So, I'd been interpreting this change as meaning that they're no longer required to carry some minimum amount of cash.

I would be more confident in banks if they were required to carry some minimum fraction of their balances in cash in order to guarantee availability of funds.

That said, I'm re-reading the page that I linked a bit more closely and realizing that it doesn't just say "reserve requirements must be satisfied by holding vault cash" , it says "reserve requirements must be satisfied by holding vault cash and, if vault cash is insufficient, by maintaining a balance in an account at a Federal Reserve Bank".

It's not clear to me whether that "balance" at a Fed bank must be in cash, but even if it is, I'm realizing that the requirement I was hoping existed may not have existed even prior to this change.

TL;DR - Requirement for strong, local, cash reserves would be better than weaker requirements is better than no requirements. I'm not sure how close to the good end of that spectrum we've ever been, but where we are now certainly doesn't seem too good.

Note: Please do explain if there is some nuance that I'm missing here

The Fed actually completely eliminated the reserve requirement in March of last year (1). Unsurprisingly, this hasn't gotten a lot of attention from the corporate media.
