I'm also confused by the OP. CPI has been above the Fed's 2% target since roughly the start of 2021, so even by that metric ("above 2% means a month of inflation") the OP seems off. I'm not really sure what it mea

What did Apple take away here? The app icon? Android support has been gone since 2020 and most (all?) of the features of Dark Sky are integrated (and enhanced apparently) into iOS 16. So you have a situation where all the people that &qu

How is it anti consumer? What harm has a consumer suffered? It seems like your only answer to this is “there’s less weather apps”? If your viewpoint were the one used for antitrust then no acquisition ever would be acceptable.

Well I broke up with my long term girlfriend and complaints about my sleep apnea stopped. Not sure if this approach is viable for you, but it will solve most peoples’ sleep apnea problem (snoring annoying other people). Other good ideas are

They probably didn't have to live with it either way. If you win then Oberlin pays, if you lose then hopefully the lawyers were on contingency and you're out nothing. Hell, the lawyers might have even funded the appeal based on

Threadreader doesn’t have an obnoxious pop up killing my access and demanding that I download the twitter app as soon as I scroll down one tweet. Much like with Reddit, I’d rather disengage from the platform than install the app.

Denver is also a consolidated city and county as well as the Colorado state capital. Denver’s budget per citizen is 1/4 San Francisco’s and 1/8 DC’s. Why is Denver not higher if what you’ve identified as making SF special has such

This is a comforting thought for people who adhere to a certain group’s dogma but do not want to take responsibility for that group’s actions. It’s like how some people “love Russians” but “hate Putin.” At a certain point your participation

The common scene I see is that the majority of <insert ideologically identifying term> don’t rejoice in other’s misery but rather do rejoice in pointing out how much those others deserve it.

The argument is not that caste is the same as race but that the use of caste as a marker is an additional burden placed ONLY on Indian employees and is therefore based on race or national origin. If you promote only upper-class Indians and

Applicable precedent is basically already set for this, especially in the liberal Ninth Circuit. This is the language of Bostock regarding LGBTQ discrimination, decided in 2020 6-3 and written by a conservative constitutional originalist (

Why is caste not a subset of national origin or race? Do Indians who discriminate on the basis of caste also discriminate against non-Indians of a lower caste, or is it solely confined to other Indians? If not directly a protected class, wh

Sounds like the GP’s instance happened in Silicon Valley based on their rant against SV startups. Silicon Valley isn’t the type of place where the property owner wields a shotgun and asks you to leave because they’ve made guns illegal, made

So it sounds like you’d need your 4 lines of pseudo-code from your first post and then another few lines of comments to describe how your 4 lines replace the authors’ publication? Something like “All tree models are partitions of the space

Just don’t ask. They won’t hit you with a cleaning fee because vaping doesn’t leave the stink that cigs do. And vaping is basically not only socially acceptable but most likely socially encouraged by your average hotel worker.

Or, more likely, they intend to lose but also expect to take advantage of America’s rather unique legal procedures with expansive discovery powers (you can discover nearly anything in America) and, probably more importantly, the losing part

This is a poorly designed process because, as this pricing change underscores, Slack is not permanent unless you pay them in perpetuity. Why would you place so much power over your internal processes in the hands of a third party? It may sa

What’s the distinction? Is a a newborn cognitively different from a fetus at 18 weeks? 24? 30? Why is a baby that suffers for its entire “life” of two weeks outside the womb different? Why does its “life” inside the womb not count? When doe

I’ll preface this by saying I am militantly pro choice but, to the anti abortion side, abortion is also “torturing newborns until they die” because they believe the fetus is as much a person as a newborn. Your moral position is just as dist

Apparently not because you didn't even understand what the GP was calling a bold claim (it wasn’t land being nontransable).

It's not backwards. Calling housing and land an X and saying that this means it should have heavy state intervention IS a bold claim regardless of what X is because it's calling for heavy state intervention. Compare: "Aborti

Non transable is not a term that anyone uses and therefore is not one that has a definition outside of this thread. Which is why GP asked what it is, smart ass.

Financial aid is readily available at all top tier law schools for anyone that could plausibly end up a “great” lawyer. As much as I dislike the hierarchical nature of post secondary school, there is no doubt in my mind that the hypothetica
