If you are able, this is a reason why it’s a good idea to have 5+ kids: spread the load among siblings for this kind of thing.

Yes I think this is the one area where specialized DBs will win over PG

thinkerswell — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 20:22:41 +0000

This was an overreach by the EU. Android is open source, let Epic launch their own phone, or their own Android store.

Methinks this crowd loves regulation a bit too much.

What's the best phone to get, the best messaging app that's like iMessage, the best transfer software, etc? Any big hiccups?

If you are a US business, it’s hard to escape the overly burdensome US taxes.

What an insult to someone who has taken on the responsibility of raising a child. Of course they should be called parents. A man doesn’t adopt a son only to be called his “child raiser”. Stop this foolish line of thought.

It's amazing to me that people in this thread still don't understand free markets. You are free to use Android, or Amazon phone. Or Graphene. Or one of the many others.

I’m convinced SDGE is the most hated company in the country. The southeast is so much cheaper for electricity.

Yes because normally, without this absurd law, you’d just deduct employee salaries from your taxable income.

> Catholic charities don't help everyone in need

Neither do state sponsored programs, we’re talking about trade offs here, and I’m saying that Id rather the money not be taken by force and incompetently redistributed just so we can wind up with more of the terrible system we have now.

> Where are the Catholic charities solving the problem, then?

You mean the ones that aren’t receiving funding because the people are being taxed to hell?

I think we’re going in circles and have different ideological starting points. I’ll leave the last word to you.
