Not necessarily. Prop 13 also gutted California's funding for schools. They lost 1/3 of their funding overnight when Prop 13 passed. One would hope that repealing Prop 13 would also undo at least some of that underfunding, conside

His argument is akin to arguing that the Soviets lost WWII because they lost so many more soldiers than the Germans. But that's not what happened. The Germans might have had a higher score, but the Red Army still pushed them all the wa

Maybe more importantly, uniformed people with guns. In an active shooter situation, people in plain clothes are all suspects and suspects holding guns get shot.

PBS is pretty good, despite attempts by the right to brand them as liberal. Watching the PBS News Hour, you can almost see the anchors gritting their teeth as they give equal respect to guests spouting right-wing fabrications, but they stil

I suspect it depends on the age of the students. In grade school when kids are learning to read and do addition, it's hard to imagine anything more core than that and science/history taught at that age is more about getting kids e

Ahh, but the article didn't say that people need Facebook. They said that we need an alternative to Facebook. That's two different things. If people are going to use Facebook (and it's been shown that people will) and Faceboo

If the SEC pursues a civil case where the penalty is only fines and not prison, the standard need only be a "preponderance of evidence." It's much easier to prove that some of these executives probably knew about the news whe

One of the things I remember from the plant tour at the facility in Toyota City was being impressed with the logistics they had to enable a heterogenous assembly line. One car rolled off every minute, but they were different models with dif

One need only look at Soloman's posting history on this site to see why he was the right person to lead Docker during its inception and the wrong person to lead Docker long term. It was clear in the discussions over Docker that Soloman

One of the ways I'm hopeful that cargo can improve in this area is through the work being done on rust-semverver. If crates.io can either determine semver compliance or, perhaps, deny releases that are not properly semantically version

Yes, it's semantics...no quotes needed, that's what it is. But it's also people trying to make other people look stupid by being wrong, and they deserve to be called out for their improper semantics. It's not "just

To be fair, if you want to annoy visitors to your site and make them hate you, you should probably choose to outsource that functionality to Intercom. Annoying your visitors may be dumb, but rolling your own chat widget would be both dumb a

It's the "self-hosting" part that's the "heavy lifting" for MongoDB. They could've also chosen a hosted Mongo service, and that would've worked too. The idea is to spend time focusing on your own prod

Once open enrollment rolled around, yes. But the point was I didn't want Medicaid, I wanted a plan that let me keep my previous doctor. And I was willing and able to pay (savings), but the ACA didn't allow me to take the subsidy i

Let's say your odds of getting that cancer are 5% and you know that ahead of time. So, knowing that it would bankrupt you, you gather 20 other people who are also at a 5% risk of getting cancer to form a group where you all chip in no

I'm sick of people making this comment because it's flat out wrong. Insurance is about lowering variance, not about subsidizing high risk. The ACA tries to make insurance affordable for everyone, and in the process, some people pa

My own personal "why I hate the ACA"... In 2016, I decided to take off from work and travel outside the US. I did what I thought was the responsible thing and purchased a travel insurance plan. In total, I was gone for a year...I

It's not likely to change that until customers start to actually care about security. And by actually care, I mean start making purchasing decisions based on that. Startups have limited resources, and that will never change. The nature

I think there's another point to be learned from both the Dropbox comment and CmdrTaco's original infamous iPod take. And that's the importance of a really well-designed product that's simple and easy to use. Both Dropbo

That's because you haven't trained. When I first started, despite swimming on a fairly regular basis, the longest I could hold for was 90 seconds and to hold that long was agony. But in doing the exercises, learning to relax durin

Because not all carbon-generative activities also produce methane, which is the real destructive part about beef. Also, some other carbon-generative activities (e.g. driving) are already taxed pretty heavily.

CCTV is more analogous to a witness that provides a fixed point of view. Location data feels much closer to providing the point of view of the suspect and comes much closer, to my mind, to being protected by our 5th amendment rights to avoi
