We fucking tried. Even Prop 15 to implement a split-roll failed due to truly monumental amounts of bullshit spewed by the defenders of Prop 13, combined with the usual levels of reactionary pearl-clutching of California property owners.

Yes. We should be contacting local attorney generals or equivalent.

Honestly, if Doordash is a known bad actor (and it is), Google just just blacklist all results from them. That will hurt Doordash far more than it hurts Google or consumers.

I had much the same problem, ordered from my favorite local Mexican place for delivery, but Doordash apparently had no agreement with the restaurant, despite holding themselves out as the restaurant. Instead, they posted a menu with incorre

I was always amused at the amount of flak Harry Potter got when His Dark Materials came out about the same time period. The young adult book series that very explicitly is about killing God, how evil the church is and even has gay angels

Now you're just reminding me how much Ford massacred my boy... Ford Rangers used to be the stripped down compact pickup actually useful as a light truck, and now it's just another oversized behemoth... The Maverick should be t

I've lived in the US my whole life and I have never seen this. Tipping is certainly expected, but, like with restaurant wait staff, typically done when you settle your tab. There are a couple of exceptions, but only really if you weren

As of recently, you will be able to build a fourplex on any SFH plot, with the passage of SB9! It's not perfect, but it is a massive step in the right direction.

Luckily, SB9 and SB10 are massive pushes in the right direction for California, accompanied by incandescent rage of my local NIMBYs.

That's true, I just forgot about them. From what I've seen, the Vive occupies a midpoint in price and quality between the Oculus products and the Index. EDIT: I hadn't actually seen much of the Vive Pro 2, it looks... compara

You are right, in tethered mode I don't think the Quest 2 has any fewer games than the Index, I was just considering the standalone mode of Quest 2.

Like this page? https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/gpl-code/ It's not even slightly hidden, pretty easy to get the code.

It isn't really comparable, but the only other real VR competitor out there is the Valve Index, which is considerably more expensive, requires base stations and requires a cord to a (beefy) computer, but on the flip side can support ma

Interestingly, I think I am as close to an example of your last point as you are going to get. I was a Physics major, and nearly all of my classes were focused only on the strongly theoretical part of physics. When I then joined a resea

I find the truth to be quite the opposite; nuclear opponents vastly overstate risks and don't consider externalities from other power sources. For example, coal power plants largely don't have a scary, infrequent failure mode, b

I have been very casually working on a service/website that allows users to vote on issues, but using some of the more unusual voting methods; specifically Delegate Democracy and its variations.

Strange, the Expo line usually runs quite late, unless you are drinking until last call. Generally, I think across all LA Metro train lines, they stop running 1am-4am.

I can't see the use of this in almost any code. All of the "bad" examples they gave just seemed perfectly fine, and if they make sense to the user of the library, there's no reason to disallow them. There are rare case

As a counterpoint, I cannot stand Pydantic. Type hinting in function class parameters is super useful, but kludges like Pydantic that abuse Python to turn those into runtime checks? Never again. I am currently finishing up a moderately size

Los Angeles practically already is distributed clusters! That's what makes is unusual compared to most cities, that there is a Downtown LA, but it is merely one of many clusters of economic activity, each with their own downtown area

In the very few places where common law marriage is allowed, it still requires the couple to hold themselves out in public as married. It does not "trick" people into getting married if they don't treat themselves as married.

That was painful to try to read... "Clever" design that abuses scrolling, provide only a miniscule amount of info and outright breaks on browser zoom is a nightmare.

D&D 4e remains one of the best, most varied combat systems in tabletop roleplaying. It gave well-balanced, tactical combat with a well fleshed-out item and character progression system. It just didn't have any roleplaying attac

There was an older games called Spec Ops: The Line that played with some degree of those problems. I truly loved it, although you do have to enjoy the "ludonarrative" aspects of it, and not everyone did.

I would expect better writing from the LA Times than this yellow journalism filled with clickbait... There is a kernel of a news story here, but blaming it on Trader Joe's in the headline, only to retract it half-way through the story?

Typically, one wouldn't use the term 'pickling' for JSON however, it's usually used for a more general serialization process. Most of the time I just hear people talk about 'loading' and 'dumping' JSO

We do in some places! Actual cities have exactly that profile, and have the opposite problem of this article; a dense city core that is so expensive that it can be hard to live in. This article is really describing the failures of suburbi

What? Rogue-like has been in the gamer vocabulary for years , certainly well before Returnal. Returnal might be one of the few AAA rogue-like games[1], but the term is very common in indie video game circles. Common enough to warrant sub-t
