I've gotten fake or counterfeit razer blades, usb hubs, cables, batteries, and other small electronics. I switched to using Aliexpress for hobby stuff, at least I'm not paying a premium for generics there. Some fakes are hard to d

From Wikipedia looks like they are below the national average, but I'd posit that means the upside is that much larger. My favorite example of this process is booming South Florida, where more than half of adults are foreign born. Hous

If you could pull that off, sounds like an incredible program to me. I don't think anything could revitalize Detroit like large amounts of immigrants would.

Amazon will sell the counterfeits just as willingly as through a third party, from my experience at least.

The far right and the far left are so overrepresented in the media and online discourse that it's necessary to distance yourself or be assumed one of them.

Saw that movie decades ago and I still think about it from time to time, especially the steamed buns part.

Your area also has the highest rates of compulsory mental health hospitalization in Europe. To do so in the US would likely not be constitutional.

Fair enough...I've pretty much only lived/worked in SF and MV/SV/SC so my perspective is centered around them.

There is a minimum wage of $15 in many of the cities, but the high cost of living makes that hardly enough.

This situation reminds me of Google Shopping...used to be completely free to post products and get them included in the search results as "snippets". Now it's 100% paid, and expensive. Google News may go dark, but I wonder if

Israel is an ally, so their influence is both expected and accepted.

This UN tribunal has been active since 2006, spent $300M, and has convicted just 3 people in that time. Given Cambodia is uninterested in pursuing these charges for the sake of their political stability, I wonder if continuing is ultimately

CPUC isn't there just to prevent price gouging. They've already decided a guaranteed return on equity / return on rate base. If the legislators decided tomorrow the lines must be buried, and the CPUC allowed the rate hike nec

California sets all the rules for utilities, including rates. There isn’t much wiggle room for PG&E, holding them liable for this is silly. It’s just a political shell game, assigning blame to PG&E and avoid responsibility for legis

They really aren't, they are just small compared to western standards. You can get a two bedroom in Shinjuku for $1900/month, it's just going to be around 625 sqft. Transport in the Tokyo area is so good it's not really

> EDIT: Not to mention that it's hard to see how increased rents lead to more revenue for the city. The state may be able to bring in more corporate tax income, but a more valuable property means that property owners can also claim

I'm not following. By your example, HBO content is being shared and Content ID can trivially determine it's HBO content. Do you have evidence that HBO wants those videos gone, but isn't capable of filing the request? Isn&#x27

It’s not suspicious, it’s oil. The US government has been pretty transparent about that for decades. Africa can’t precipitate global instability the way the Middle East can, they just don’t tick the boxes for military intervention.

Given the same option I ended up with 10:30 to 7pm, but then again I don’t have kids.

I tried to clarify new prescription vs refill for this reason. Once they are hooked I do believe harm reduction is warranted.

It’s more potent but essentially like every other opiod in action. I think it’s far more worthwhile to reduce new prescriptions for OxyContin, Percocet, and Vicodin than worry about niche opioids like this.

I don’t doubt any of it, but I despise the hyperbole.

I too am sick of these exaggerations, it makes it hard to separate real science from crackpots. Two years before we face human extinction? Why did the reporter ask zero questions about “how”? Likely they got the quote they wanted for a clic

From the first article you linked...just...wow. Soo many U.S. progressives would suffer under that law. > In 2015, France’s highest court upheld the criminal conviction of 12 pro-Palestinian activists for violating restrictions against h

Is Argos exempt from this tax? They certainly exceed the 500m in revenue threshold. If they are, this tax seems to be more like a tariff than not.

Inequality isn’t captured, CA relies more heavily on the top earners to fund the budget.

Vive has a wireless adapter now, and Vive Pro bumped the resolution from 1st gen, so two of your points are in progress. Still not all that friendly to setup and use. I think only consoles will be able to raise market penetration short to m

TNCs creating congestion makes sense to me for the same reason, so many of my trips simply wouldn’t happen if I had to take public transport.

I know some orgs end up with crazy Jira processes, but after using it for 7 years in my last company it would be (or similar) the first thing I set up for company larger than 5 people. We never used the workflows much, didn’t go crazy with

I'd think that positioning himself this way would be seen as a positive. The more he virtue signals and raises his own profile the easier it is to move in the Fortune 500/1000 circles, landing new or expanded contracts.
