No that's correct

Exactly, it's not that he, personally, wants to slaughter millions of Arabs, it's just that that's the price we have to pay to preserve the American ability to slaughter millions of other Arabs in the future.

Ok but having not grown up with F I feel the same way about -20 to 40 °C, which you can divide into 5° bands with almost identical names.

You get $10 of interest per month on a month's expenses?

While it's probably true that people spend more than they otherwise would (otherwise this wouldn't be such a huge thing), that doesn't follow from Klarna's marketing figure of 45% higher spend per order. It is totally possible that people order more at once but less often. Especially for groceries, buying in bulk is often much better value, but it can be impossible if you just don't have the cash around.

the token is only used for governance (and possibly also fundraising)

That should make you just as worried

Maybe make the royalty per user rather than per article. Then there's no incentive to ban news.

You're not wrong that it means that now, but literally has meant figuratively since it started being used in the eighteenth century

no one says no profits should be had at all.

Actually quite a few of us do say that

It's not too crazy here :) 25 days a year is the legal minimum and I get about 10 more than that, plus a few extra from doing overtime here and there. That's why I say the lifestyle is on the whole better here even though we don't earn nearly as much. It's still plenty to pay the mortgage, and Europe is right on the doorstep to spend all that holiday time in.

Sure, yes, but those kinds of positions in the US make 300k or more too. Also, then you work in finance and you have to live with the fact that you are categorically making the world a worse place every day.

So you never stumbled upon bugs while doing work

That's not what I said.. Either the bug is related to the task, or it isn't. If it's not related to the task, there's no reason to fix it on the same local branch either.

Also, some teams do care about building their work on atomic commits, because they understand the problems caused by mixing up unrelated work on the same PR, specially when auditing changes to track where a regression was introduced. You might feel it's ok to post a PR that does multiple things like bumping up a package version, linting unrelated code, fixing an issue, and post comments on an unrelated package, but others know those are four separate PRs and should be pushed as four separate PRs.

Well, these things don't meet the standards of your earlier example at all. Linting unrelated code and posting comments on an unrelated package clearly aren't needed for someone to work on the main issue fix they're doing. If it's unrelated code you again lose nothing by switching branches to do the work.

Yes, depending on where you live rent might be similar (London isn't much cheaper than NY or LA) but cost of living is otherwise less. Also, people tend to work much shorter hours (a limit of 37 for me, any extra is returned as PTO) and start with much more annual leave (25 days discretionary, for me, plus public holidays, plus we close over Christmas and new year's). Furthermore there's no health costs to pay etc. On the whole it balances out and I think the lifestyle here is better, but I do envy the extreme salaries of those in the US.

About half of the equivalent in the US, often less. It's exceedingly rare to make 100k here even in a senior position, although it does exist. Median is 40-50k (pounds, so times that by 1.2 for USD).

Oh, okay. I've never encountered a situation where I needed that bug fixed for the task but it shouldn't be fixed as part of the task; if they're touching the same functionality like that I really don't see the need for two PRs. But sure, sounds helpful in that really niche case.

I think I understood the example; I think it's faster to switch branches for the bug-fix than to reorder those commits later

It doesn't disrupt my workflow to switch branches and it's much faster than some ugly rebase

the next definition

So, overlapping meanings, not synonyms

That's because people in the US don't protest for real, since it's totally toothless there's not much crackdown either

I don't think your argument quite holds up. The directionality is important. It's true that the government can't always know about technical things directly, but I think it's fine for the government to be expected to know which experts they need to consult, and for that process not to just be open to everyone (which just means more open to those with more money).
