American universities have rushed to move as much lecturing as possible to adjuncts, and cap as many employees as possible at 29 hours/week to avoid the ACA. Just like with a fire-and-brimstone televangelist, it's only immoral if

A technically correct best correct answer: if you're American or can otherwise take a job with the US federal government, your work email address will get you free WaPo access. Your sanity may be worth more to you than $1/week, ho

SCIFs generally have some sort of TS/SCI network connectivity, so the appropriate solution would to just use it. But every agency that has SCIFs wants their own network, because it would be disastrous if TLA #1 could see TLA #2's

The Hokutosei from Tōkyō to Sapporo was a really good way to travel, but it was discontinued in 2015.

And Charlottesville has Ting FTTH. The fiber in Silly Valley is AFAIK in SF and to the north.

In NYC those luxury apartment towers get massive property tax breaks, because of course they do . Vacant housing should be charged (a lot) more tax—at eye-watering rates if that's what it takes for it to be rented out—but that's

All the source is in .zip files in the download. What's missing (and coming soon) is a build system.

Illinois has among the lowest per-capita government employee count per that list and is in the middle of the pack for taxes. It's much easier to build housing in Chicago than San Francisco... but aldermanic privilege is a thing. So not

The difference is that it's really rare to have restrictions on the vehicles themselves. An American company can register trucks (that have been homologated) or airplanes regardless of where they were manufactured; a Jones Act-complian

The Jones Act also bans registering a vessel in the US if it wasn't built there. US shipbuilders are happy serving the captive market, so if you want one to build an LNG carrier it'll cost at least four times what Samsung charges.

Silly Valley and NYC aren't exactly low-tax areas, either. The difference is that in those places the pay makes up for it; if pay in Canada weren't so far behind the taxes would be a non-issue.

The 100% legal route would be to whois the IP address and send the contact an email; presumably they can identify a user and pass it on.

A US government employee stationed in a foreign country receives allowances that pay for the full cost of housing and utilities. In Mumbai, the housing allowance is relatively small as such things go ($1500ish/mo depending on grade lev

The situation is worse than that; public transport in Seattle is excellent by American standards. Which is still crap.

It's illegal to build multi-family housing in 95% of Seattle's residential area; that's not a very invisible hand.

Pair Domains takes my money and provides me exactly what they advertise. The only issue I've had is that their DNS service doesn't have all the record types I want, so I use CloudFlare for that.

Give me either, as long as it's actually patched. (Which would seem to be too much to ask for from most vendors.)

There are plenty of legitimate pressure points. The CPC elites value sending their children to Western countries for education, frequently under pseudonyms. Stop giving them visas, or allow it but make sure the Chinese public knows. Beyond

Street names in Hong Kong don't have to match up either, e.g. 青山道 vs Castle Peak Road. (Maybe there's an obscure or obscure-to-me source that makes this one make sense, though.)
