How does this square with the recent SCOTUS case that says, basically, that the executive can dismantle the DOE with mass dismissals, regardless of Congress? Couldn’t Trump do the same here?

Is this "new" literalism, or just storytelling as it has always been in movies? I've been on a Billy Wilder kick lately, and there are still a lot of scenes in these 70 year old movies where the subtext gets spoken out loud.

Still doesn’t solve the problem for people who use street parking.

by aqme28 1y ago
Exactly. Maybe just because I live in a city and almost everyone I know with a car will just find street parking somewhere within walking distance of their apartment.

You’re thinking too highly about the incentives of the US healthcare system. Since insurance is tied to your employer (and therefore changing every few years), and most people die on Medicare, there’s not much incentive for insurance compan

Absolutely. I don't know if it's the FTC or FCC, but the moment I swap back to my American SIM card on trips to the US, I start getting spam texts that I cannot get rid of. Meanwhile I get absolutely zero of these with my European

Interesting. I feel like this clause is violated very often by major apps: > Push Notifications should not be used for promotions or direct marketing purposes unless customers have explicitly opted in to receive them via consent language

You keep saying what "we" prefer, but I wasn't aware that everyone shared the same values around privacy. Some cultures take it much more seriously than others, often in ways you wouldn't expect if you're coming fro

But you mostly already couldn't do that, right? What specific behaviors does this forbid that weren't already forbidden?

My whole point is that there are not just these two groups. There is instead a pipeline of your group 1 into 2. Give people homes, cut off that pipeline.

Yeah I buy that to some extent. But according to the studies I've read, the primary driver of homelessness is rising rent, not mental health issues. See e.g. https://www.statista.com/chart/32585/change-in-medi

I see this take a lot but it's a very static take on homelessness. Yes, homeless people are often in a mental state where they are difficult to take care of. However, that doesn't mean they're homeless because they're

There is useful information in that "there is a possible leak at the top." But there are much cheaper ways to find that out. However, that is absolutely not what they were testing for. Whatever the test's purpose, this failed

What are they wrong about?

Important to note that it exploded "prior" to the planned test. That seems really really bad to me, and potentially even dangerous. It's one thing if a test fails -- tests are somewhat expected to fail occasionally. It's

by aqme28 1y ago
The fact that they didn't even make it to the test seems really bad. It's one thing for a test to fail. It seems downright dangerous if it fails before the test even started.

by aqme28 1y ago
That is not true and dangerous. 20 doses is deadly. It's less than the LD50 for most people, but since MDMA disregulates your body temperature you can easily overheat

Try it alone, without a phone or a tv or anything particularly distracting.

Opinions may vary of course, but I think LSD is best enjoyed without a phone at all.

by aqme28 1y ago
This is true of every illegal drug to some extent. You do not know how it is mixed. Though sure, your 100mg of "MDMA" is unlikely to contain more than 100mg of MDMA

It scales just fine. AirBnB, Github, and Shopify use it.

Yeah was going to make the same point. > I still don't understand the benefit of relying on someone/something else to write your code and then reading it, understand it, fixing it, etc. What they're saying is that they nev

Pretty cool! Obviously the best strategy is binary search, but it's pretty hard to figure out the best choice for that on the fly.

(Not a tax professional) The federal corporate tax rate is 21% and for states it ranges from 0 to about 9%. So generally you're going to pay at least 21% or $170k for those "profits."

> Immigration is arguably even more important to enforce in this manner because of the clear-cut legal alternative. We're talking about an immigration policy that is now rounding people up at their legal immigration appointments.

But a nonzero number of animals and people die of tetrodoxin poisoning, so there is some pressure. Therefore if it were cheap and easy enough, it’s likely we all would have evolved it. That cheapness threshold might just be incredibly hig

I think you're confused about what this article is about. Which law are you pointing to when you say "its position that these laws are bad"? Because you're talking about ebikes on bike lanes, but this article is entirely

I am really curious how the US is expecting to host the Olympics and the World Cup in the next few years.
