But in the real world ease of use is _everything_ for the vast majority of people.

How much of this is just the hacker news demographic skewing perceptions? For a lot of people here, it makes far more sense to hire someone to do home maintenance while you continue to work on a well-paid technology job. Doing a lot of home repair is a hobby/choice, not something you're doing out of necessity.

How much of that is just a cost thing? Is hiring people to do home maintenance inexpensive and easily available where you are? That's usually not the case in American cities.

That just illustrates how important California is to the world economy.

I'm shocked that you think having a lawyer involves reputation costs.

I have one of those too out in the garage. It runs a hobby CNC router, so it's basically bathed in very fine sawdust often. I'm astonished every time it actually boots up.

Or possibly while pros are having endless meetings about how in theory they would play 4d chess, or which varieties of 4d chess are best for career enhancement, or just evaluating proposals for outsourcing 4d-chess-playing to the private sector.

Mostly to corporate subsidies labeled "defense" spending.

I can't figure out if this is sarcasm or an actual response.

I think you're hearing a typical Vulcan accent...

That's very much an artifact of parts of the east coast. My sister (like, totally a native English speaker from California) had the same issue.

That sounds like a very American thing to say. You're talking about Italian law here?

Why? What would make you think this has any impact?

Which makes it a very good bet that they're Canadian.

Afaik AWS and GCP refuse visa gift cards, although it's been a while since I tried. Wouldn't surprise me to hear Oracle is the same.

While it might be one of the last charcoal burning sites locally, large-scale charcoal burning is an active problem - https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/charcoal-burning....

Milkmen 100% exist in the US also. Several houses close by have delivery coolers for https://www.smithbrothersfarms.com/ and their trucks appear regularly.

I kind of had to laugh about this. The vast majority of European written media over, say, the last two thousand years, is Christian faith based.

Can't talk about the kids part, but Uber Pool was definitely a popular thing pre pandemic. People were happy to get in cars with strangers.

It's way off topic. The Q-and-A here is are about getting actual legal expertise applied to questions, not opinions about how US immigration law is flawed. You're not wrong to say it, it's just that this isn't the place/time.

Or potentially a lot less. The idea that real estate always goes up doesn't match reality.

I'm curious what country you live in. Certainly here in the United States we never tried anything like UBI. The few things we did do continue to be successful, although the Republican party at state levels is trying to sabotage them as much as they can.

Or relatively expensive drones with actual electronic warfare equipment. Number of actual extraterrestrials involved: close to zero .

Want to drive your car? The car vendor is well within their rights to eliminate your ability to drive in certain areas. That's just market segmentation.

Most people around here (Pacific Northwest) do propane. No one wants to store large quantities of gasoline on their property.

Those prices are far below normal prices. Normal is 28-50 cents in places like San Diego (https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/energy-green/s...).

t seems like you're exactly the sort of person that both the letter and spirit of the law are supposed to help. It's not supposed to be a system just for, say, Nobel Prize winners.

They want to be an employee of a company in California, while living and working in Canada. This sounds like it's going to be complicated, and a blanket answer of "you don't pay US taxes" seems unlikely to be correct. They're also going to face issues like on day 1 when they walk into the office and they're going to have to go through the whole I-9 thing (https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central) - waving hands and saying I'm going to live in Canada seems like it's not a solution.

And check your local library. Here in Seattle you get to use Safari if you have a library card.
