Note that .us and several other ccTLDs have the unfortunate disadvantage of not allowing "private registration", forcing you to either expose your real name, address, phone number, and email, or violate their terms by providing fa

Sure, it's pretty well established that the vaccines reduce severity of symptoms and risk of death. Just not transmission. It's an important distinction to draw, especially in the context of mandates. Your suggested confounder is

Are you implying that areas of lower vaccination coverage are seeing higher infection rates? That does not seem to be the case under rigorous analysis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8481107/ Th

Yeah, I would guess that the important difference is that Apple emails a receipt for all subscriptions every month, making it much less likely that someone forgets about their subscription when they no longer regularly use it.

> We have that. It's called a "tax return". I believe GP's point is that a tax return only lists a small subset of the taxes being collected from a citizen, giving the impression that the amount is smaller than it is.

There's plenty of evidence that eating too many calories increases obesity. GP's point is that calories coming from a "healthy" source doesn't mean they don't count. Drenching one's salad in olive oil rath

Arguably it makes it more clear what's really going on. With tau, the identity can be formulated either: - e^(iτ) = 1, meaning that taking a full revolution around the complex plane brings you back to 1, where you started - e^(iτ/

You can deal with that issue by defining things in a submodule, then importing and re-exporting them in the top-level (e.g. `type Foo = subdir.Foo`). That even lets you move things into the submodule without breaking callers. Other submodul

Could you clarify your definition of "legitimate", especially given that you used "commoditized" as an antonym to it? Purchasing gasoline from a gas station is a highly commoditized transaction; what makes it more or les

Wow, this is wild. A great example of how regulation can be a double-edged sword. Anti-trust law prevents market participants from colluding to increase their influence - which is exactly what a labor union does. Lawmakers patched the issue

Pay the tax. Owning a home in a crowded city, not living in it the vast majority of the time, and refusing to rent it out to people who desperately want to live there imposes a negative externality on the city, which you need to pay for.
