And how is California going to reverse that exactly? Even if this happened on a federal level, most houses would still be using fossil fuels and most of the world wouldn't even bat an eye.

Literally signing an energy monopoly into law. Even if they mandated max power consumption it would be better. It's literally mind-boggling to me how many people support this initiative.

And changing over only the new houses in one single state is going to fix that? Most of the world's pollution is coming out of developing countries anyways. This move is at best virtue signaling and at worst a step towards destroying C

Yeah, it's looking at this from a demand-side perspective rather than a supply-side one that's arguably much more relevant

SF actually limits building height in most areas I believe. Every time we put another one of these laws on the books, it's another obstacle blocking the way for affordable housing that probably won't ever get reversed

Why is "bold action" required? This entire concept seems flawed to me.

It sounds horrible to me for a number of reasons: * Increases the cost of homes * Gives solar power industry a boost in a way that's hard to get rid of--they will lobby to keep this even if other industries are around and it'll pr

Different times for every language. Some I've been able to pick up in a matter of days or even hours (being able to read and write Dart code, for example, was very easy because I already knew Java, C#, JavaScript). Others take a few we

The issue is that the cable companies have monopolies set in law already. There are numerous regulations designed to stop any new last-mile telecom companies from starting up, which literally guarantees a monopoly for the few companies that

They've done this before, during, and after net neutrality. AT&T regularly blocks entire ranges at the IP level because they are "suspected of cyberattacks." I've frequently had issues with web hosts who are blocked

Likely 0% chance. The court cannot just go off and make up its own laws because it wants to, all it can do is decide how existing laws should be applied.

Not against them. I'm against them being required by law. (Some safety standards should definitely be part of the law). But if the law limits hours then it hurts some people more--if they didn't have to pay overtime, you might be

This article makes it sound like the author suddenly found a new light in Communism, but from the way it leads it seems like they haven't wandered to these beliefs any time recently. That aside, it paints it as if Marx "predicted&

To the degree that workers are not your slaves or property, yes. They should be free to decide who to work for, and employers cannot treat people as their property. But as long as there's informed consent, most things are pretty fair.

I think people are really trying hard to get this to fit their narrative. Admittedly, I did not watch the whole thing, but out of the multiple hours I had the energy to watch I can't see how you would blame Zuckerberg. Not saying that

But then this brings us back to square 1, "tools" can just scrape user messages/content without authorization and then use that to collect data on those users. If the whole point is to solve the Cambridge Analytica fiasco, th

This may be nitpicky, but I don't think we should use the phrase "rights of the government." It implies that the government has some innate justification for those actions, and I think it leads to a slippery slope whereby we

Wow. No comments on how crazy this viewpoint is? They're not just talking about eliminating cash, they want to nationalize all private banking. They're arguing that a monopoly of the state is better than a "monopoly" of

The good thing is that kids mostly use high quality vapes. For example, the Juul is cited as the most popular in the article. Other popular ones are Junos, Phixes, and Suorins. All of these have their own juices manufactured by the companie

AT&T does this on their Android phones pretty frequently. Missed my alarm the other day because they decided to push an update overnight and you need to input a password to boot into your phone after it restarts. I'm just waiting t

I already have one foot out the door as I'll be heading for college soon, but I think they have grown to better understand my relationship with technology. When I placed in a school science fair with a computer project that I had staye

As a teenager who's into tech, this is how I feel every time I read these comments. When I was first learning to program, I didn't get support. I had parents complaining about how I use the computer too much. Had they been any mor

Yes, but the intent of a law matters. It's why it goes to court in the first place. I mean the meaning here is pretty clear, different from a real legal loophole where the system just hasn't been thoroughly planned.

I honestly expect them to roll it back. I've used it for a few weeks on the beta, and it's turned me away from certain features because they're so separated and disjoint.

I think it stands to fix the fragmented ecosystem by shear force. The masses will decide what will become the de facto standard. For now, it seems like jbuilder will be the winner.
