I would wager the median number of uses per cotton bag is way below 173 store visits.

This is really Youtube at its best.

Deep dive into a niche topic, expert led, compelling storytelling, and professional production.

In Canada each province has a fairly strong teacher union. In Manitoba for example a teacher with 10 years experience will earn approximately $95K CAD (more than most software developers here). This with strong pension benefits that can be collected at 55. I know teachers that retired in their late 50s, and will continuing making 70% of their inflation adjust salaries until they die.

Relatively speaking this salary/benefits has higher expected lifetime earnings than a software developer.

One negative is that the unions are also strong enough that teachers can't be fired/replaced for performance (this is similar to Police...etc). As with any profession the worst of the bunch is very bad, and unfortunately they keep doing it until their fifties at the cost of the children.

I consistently find that people who are unhappy/unsuccessful and also identify as "smart" are generally very good at rationalizing why things don't work out for them in a manner that protects their ego.

Been using ahrefs for years, not sure what is sleazy about it.

It audits your site for issues, shows Google rankings for keywords, estimated volume for keywords, backlinks to specific sites, backlinks to specific pages...etc.

It doesn't do anything for SEO (no content, no links...etc), it simply reports on the state of affairs.

This is often the only choice when there is so much noise.

In the midst of an election a weekly (bi-weekly? monthly?) summary article of what happened, and what is important is more than sufficient for me.

I like it!

Sites like NHL.com or ESPN.com are borderline hostile navigating this info.

It is reminiscent of the morning sports pages in the newspaper I would read each morning as a kid.

The one improvement would be if there was page that summarized the league. i.e. Click on NHL and it lists scores, games that day, standings, and possibly scoring leaders. That would be capture all of the important points on one clean page, as the newspaper used to.

Many of these bikes are not a great compromise at all, they are just all together bad.

A "dual suspension bikes" for $200, will be both bad on a trail, and on a road. It will have terrible rims, terrible tires, terrible everything, and will be designed to break near-immediately. All sizzle, no steak.

Walmart could have a bike for the same price with simpler, less flashy features, that was better in everyway. Except it wouldn't pretend to be a capable full squish bike.

IF walmart was to put their heft behind a rock solid single speed it would be be an exceptional win for consumers.

To place blame more accurately Sandusky was Penn State (not Notre Dame).

These offers show signs of life for Canadian salaries. I am presuming you are in Toronto, and these were IC roles.

What types of companies were the 2 best offers?

Not all do.

For example a defense Attorney defending a DUI charge will likely be a flat fee. They will also charge according to what it is worth to you.

e.g. If you were Palo Alto's most successful real estate agent, and were at risk of losing your drivers license, you will be charged accordingly when you show up at the doorstep of a prominent defense Attorney.

Nope. Teachers salaries would be similar to that across Canada. Software dev salaries would be very close, with some exceptions. Winnipeg/Calgary/Edmonton are all very similar to Saskatoon.

There would be some higher paying opportunities in Van/Tor/Mtl. But an $200K individual contributor software dev is a truly a Unicorn in Canada.

Lots of reasons, but the biggest is that simply don't have the ultra profitable FAANGs that drive up salaries.

And this...

>But dammit, regardless of where you have gotten your mis-information from, any Linux kernel discussion list isn't going to have your idiotic drivel pass uncontested from me.

He hasn't lost his fastball!

US Presidents are the peak of this. Presidential salary is currently $400K, the real money is made as a former President. George W. Bush, Clinton, Obama have made incredibly amounts of money since being President.

Bill Clinton left office broke due to legal fees, and there are estimates of $100M net worth.

I think I am paraphrasing Buffett here, this can apply to so many career/business decisions.

It is curious how the trauma from his kidnapping is considered different than if he had been a 2nd generation war criminal.

Presumably the child of a war criminal would also have suffered trauma in youth, but there would no consideration of mercy, or sympathetic longform articles for the 30something 2nd generation war criminal. They would be simply be treated as evil.

Plane crash investigations are remarkable post-mortems.

It seems so unique, and it could be applied to many areas.

Shoot higher!

If you are contracting in a situation like this a reasonable rate could mean $250-$1000 an hour. Really depends on what kind of money your currently make.

A better approach in the case would be to offer to investigate, and provide a flat rate. You can charge $3000 flat fee, and you may solve it in 1.5 hrs.

This is what Ralph Nader would call a "deferred bribe".

HN is very bearish in general. Aka permabears.

If you sold on sentiment here you would always be selling, or just not buying.
