If a person would only read the article, they would find out that it wasn't poor people squatting in the homes. Rather it was people who did it to make a quick buck. And that one case of a poor person, it was rented out to them by some

Because most other tech companies (except for a few of the very biggest ones) won't touch that business with a 10 foot pole. It used to be major reputational damage to be seen supporting things that kill people, etc... The non tech com

I misread the 13 for an 18. It is 13x with a relatively wide confidence interval. Another commentator pointed this out to me.

I stand by my statement about name calling. The person who has had covid is less likely to spread it to others than someone with just the vaccine. I see little point in forcing them to take the vaccine much less enforce a vaccine mandate. I

It depends on your definition of huge. Berkeley is a graduate school masquerading as an undergraduate school. When I went, the undergraduate population was roughly 10k whereas the graduate population was roughly 20k. The undergraduate scho

There are multiple vaccines out there that don't have such stringent requirements. Even the J&J vaccine doesn't have those requirements.

As far as you taking it, pretty much yes. The unvaccinated can take it. That is of better community benefit. There is barely any additional protection for you.

You are a name caller. There are downsides to getting the vaccine. I know people who were down and out with side effects to the vaccine for a week. If this is accurate, then people who had covid are 18x protected vs those vaccinated. Maybe

This says that natural immunity is 18x better. There is virtually no need for the vaccine.

This is a near industry wide abusive practice. Facebook started forcing companies to use Facebook Credits and then forced a 30% cut. Zynga balked. Zynga and Facebook came to secret arrangement. If you were smaller, you were SOL. EDIT: http

I just tried disabling iCloud for Game Center. It flips itself back on. No error message. Fuck Apple.

Have you tried disabling various iCloud features? Disabling iCloud is incredibly buggy. I tried disabling iCloud keychain and it just flips back on. Sometimes it asks for a login first. Sometimes it shows a cancel/continue modal. Eithe

If you revitalize economically depressed areas then there is less demand for housing in the hot areas thus precluding the need to build so much housing in those areas. So focusing on building housing in the hot areas does not address the r

Bad leadership in the political ranks. The problems that California has has hurt it for many years. We just have been able to get away with it due to tech and entertainment money largesse. The progressive wing is against desalination plants

You need to add sales tax and property tax possibly. Sales tax is approximately 9%. Property tax is about 1% of inflation adjusted value of the property.

So you are for building all this housing when existing housing stock exists rather than trying to revitalize depressed economic areas???? How is that efficient?

You are living in the part of the country with rising housing prices? Go find out the housing prices in many other parts of the country. You can get a house in the Rust Belt for 50,000 and the Rust Belt is a big area stretching through many

It is not a good to compare the Roman Empire to something that ended in 1912, just 2 years before WW1. Hahahaha. Later empires and their languages: Austrian German vs German. Perhaps something more far ranging: Ukrainian vs Russian. Not Pol

There are obvious differences and now the trope about reading old text. 1. Cantonese recognizes the Chinese as a common people and have a word for it. The word isn’t just used historically but is used to this day. The French don’t see the I

My limited understanding is that the reality is muddier than them being full fledged languages that originated independently and share only a common written language. That is a Western overused trope. Cantonese seems more a hybrid language

Imagine the reputational damage to Apple if say in 2 years it was discovered that they had been scanning all photos on your device and that the matches had been going to the government and that they didn't tell you. Their privacy marke

That isn't the argument at all. What Apple can't have happen without major reputational damage is get caught doing it without telling its customers. Thus this is seen as a marketing backdoor to the actual backdoor. This is seen as

I wonder what the other countries will be and whether they will be disclosed? My bet is on Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
