I'm not sure if this premise is true. At the Emmy's last year they won for The Crown and The Queen's Gambit. Were obviously nominated in plenty of other categories. I generally prefer HBO Max in that if a new show comes out t

They cannot. I'm also not exactly sure what you mean by your manpower statement. Say a town wants to build traffic lights and a new intersection. Surely it's easier to collect money and pay an outside firm (which may or may not ha

State and local government do need to raise money. Unless you want all local agencies to spend no more and no less than what the federal government decides to give them. They cannot issue currency.

I used to have this view. But I think in practice not taxing wealth (property) and taxing contributions to producing things of value (income) is bad. And especially in 2022 with how easy it is to borrow money based on your property not taxi

I think about this a lot too but I think it just has to do with the way memories are stored in the brain - not anything to do with time itself. It's sorta handwavey but I've seen it explained that at age 40 a year represented 2.5%

I can see it both ways. I think people who follow this stuff closely understand it without even having to click on the article. But I have noticed an attitude among most non-news junkies of "I don't get why not everything is renew

I am a 5'6 man. I still think a city is much better as I assume the 5'6 man has standards, too. It's not like finding a partner who is willing to settle with you is difficult at all - it is finding one that you feel meets you

This is the report the article cites https://www.accountable.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/2022-0... The report is not very well reasoned in my opinion. It appears mostly just to be against inflation in

What options do the companies have:' - raise prices, which irritates customers, and collect record profits - keep prices the same, leading to shortages which also irritates customers, and collect mediocre profits

I am very happy about SB9! Though as a maximalist on this I'm still upset this is the best compromise we can get since the lot of this house is definitely big enough for more than just 2/4 units. The house I live in is rented whic

I live in Los Angeles and am lucky enough to rent on a street that is single family houses. It is illegal to build a duplex here, or a structure above 2 stories, even though each house must be 2500 sqft still. People who are pro-market forc

I'm actually happy they did it only because it will get people (at least the subset of people who follow casually and do care) to acknowledge that foreign buyers are not the root cause once a couple years pass and the data will be appa

Looking at the mechanisms alone I think its pretty unlikely that film critics have not shifted over time. The standard film critic job in the 80s/90s was a local newspaper. That meant your audience was men/women of various ages an

I do worry that public health has a measurement problem where they only focus on things they can measure/estimate and things that they do cannot estimate they ignore instead of putting in an unscientific guess.

This is what I don't quite get. Perhaps eating octopi seems gratuitous since they are expensive and not integrated into everyday customs/life. But hard to imagine an octopus is on a higher status than a pig or a cow which are fair

I'm far from the biggest crypto enthusiast but pretty hard to buy home, purchase car, get business loan etc. without a bank account. Obviously you can still get food and clothes no issue but I think the larger point stands.

It seems besides the point. The vast majority of cons are people without a huge range of skills to choose from. I'm sure convicted hackers or white collar criminals have trouble finding work that suits their skill level but probably ab

For me, 95% of the functionality of Airtags would still be there if it only worked with your own apple devices. I have found airtags for finding things when I lose my keys/wallet around the house. I do leave them at a restaurant tying

This is very interesting! Would love to see a similar list but weight by the ratio of men who don't know versus women who don't know aka words that known by 90% of males and 80% of females (or visa versa). This is very interesting

I don't think so? I've used temporary email sites to sign up for other sites I didn't want permanent accounts for. There are also dozens of websites that host regular e-mail, convert movie files, are color pickers etc. It&#x2

I think that's my point. The lottery itself is not going to have the manpower to check if every winner was or was not childhood best friends with workers at the lottery. Being in the public would be more likely to bring that to light +

The state of NH makes it an option for lottery winners to keep their identity private. I know this decision was praised but to me without full transparency those close to the process will be tempted to pass winning tickets to themselves&#x2

I really like the "hard" version of Wordle better where you can only guess clues which make sense given the clues. It seems more in the spirit and although there may be 26 ideal starting words it would be very hard to memorize the

I guess my larger point is if risk of death by fire gets cut in half because of variables other than extra staircases - then the benefit of adding extra staircases gets cut in half while the cost remains the same (or even increases).

FWIW fire deaths have gone down by half since the 70s. Perhaps you could attribute this to fire alarms or better automatic sprinklers but overall this is a very good trend given population trends. I'm also fairly certain that better fi
