The voters in their district are the people complaining. Boston Logan rerouted air traffic to climb out over the city rather than the harbor. This has led to long daylong stretches of overflights every 90 seconds. Katherine Clarke, Stephen

You can take this one step further. After manually flagging when you hear a plane, generate the next complaint automatically.

The states' rights narrative has as much historical basis as the stab-in-the-back myth.

Be that as it may, my opinion is informed. Like the Commons Clause before it the SSPL is an effort at undermining open source. It violates the Open Source Definition in letter and in spirit. The OSI isn't going to approve it and Mongo

Yep. I don't understand why Mongo doesn't just come clean and say "We're discontinuing support for the free version." Maybe they're afraid it'll get forked?

Yep, in some circles the prevailing law is that cheating is fine until you get caught. The issue here is that Brian walked away from the board while orders were being read. No one has a responsibility to make sure your orders are adjudicate

This is a trip down memory lane. Back at HuskyCon 2009 I was on a board with Brian Ecton. When it was my turn to read orders, he stepped away from the board for a smoke. Since he was gone I made up new orders for his fleets. Boy was he livi

> To wit, I don't think many people suspected Billy Mitchell of cheating until there was undeniable proof of that fact. Not so much. Billy has been suspected of cheating for ages. His live play is completely at odds with his WR runs

Billy's live performances were miles away from his spliced runs. The live performances of top level SMB runners are in line with streamed performances. Some communities are moving toward controller cams to show each button press.

The biggest risk posed by nuclear power is that we don't build it and carbon levels rise to stratospheric heights.

Exactly. The energy required to manufacture, transport, install and maintain it would all be taxed.

There seems to be some confusion. Wealthy people typically have a larger carbon footprint than those who aren't well off. Think flights, buying a car more frequently, etc. If everyone has the same carbon footprint, the tax is strictly

by bhickey 8y ago
That's why basically every carbon tax scheme ever proposed involves remitting the revenue back to people on a per capita basis.

As toss1 mentioned, some states let you choose your supplier. Another way to do it is to tax it when the utility buys it. This moves the math around for where they source power from.

A tax on carbon fuel would make more sense still. Polluters should pay for their pollution rather than foisting their externalities on others.

No, it really isn't at all. It's like asking if a person with a history of peanut allergies died because they got shot in the face or because the bullet was dipped in peanut butter.
