The issue is that it's not just salt, but contains many other minerals and contaminants. Probably better to just dump it on the surface of the desert and let it dry up.

NN, as it was proposed, as implementation of Title II for ISPs, is a large bundle of regulations. Regardless, every regulation has a cost to compliance. I explained how NN reduces options for consumers in a different reply. 5G is meant to b

I'm still anti-NN because I hate how disingenuous and alarmist the pro-NN crowd has been. I don't think adding more regulation will fix anything. But at least now we'll get to witness the power of federalism with regulatory c

I'm confused. Why do you hate captchas so much? I can't see why anyone would draw the line there. I mean, how else are electronic forms supposed to prevent spam?

Because of how similar they are, it would make sense to implement async/await using existing generator backends in the VM, right?
703.
by pitaj 7y ago
Promises are just objects which represent an asynchronous value. Async/await are coroutines: they have a shared context, stack, etc. They can be paused and resumed. The implementation of async/await depends on the engine, but I&#x

by pitaj 7y ago
Rust async is just syntax: there is no event loop built into the language.

No, the point is that it's important to address and control for all of the consequences of policy - including the unintended ones.

Do you really think healthcare in the US is a free market? If you do, you couldn't be more wrong. Healthcare is the most regulated, least free market in the US.

I don't want it both ways. In fact a land value tax could replace property tax in a revenue neutral fashion, and would incentivize development of property and density, rather than disincentivize those like property tax does.

Rent doesn't get changed daily, only when a lease is up for renewal. Rent control deters the creation of new housing. This reduce in supply raises the price, which is bad for the poor - exactly the people it is meant to help.

The reason the market is not working is because of onerous regulation by the government in the first place.

At the cost of further increasing the price of rents across the board due to limited housing supply.

by pitaj 7y ago
Prices should increase in the case of increased demand. Prices must increase in that case if you want the supply to increase, which is the only way to actually meet demand. It's how the market works ffs.
