High housing prices aren't the result of stagnant wages and rising wages will only cause housing to become more expensive (more money chasing the same housing stock) unless something is done to boost supply. Unions don't fix this

Besides my direct experience? It doesn’t require fraud this is the result of the loose requirements to get reimbursed under these temporary measures and the fact that COVID tests are a routine part of hospital admissions. For example to b

Can this be used with the Linux frame buffer device on embedded systems without a window manager?

Excess deaths could just have easily been caused by people postponing medical care for other conditions. Hospitals were canceling elective procedures for example.

They specifically boosted what Medicare paid for COVID treatment by 20% during the public health emergency.

It's not clear to me the total deaths number is accurate in the US because the government was reimbursing hospitals for COVID treatment and paying for people's funerals who "died of covid". It incentivized people to lis

Alternatives like coal give off substantially more radioactivity into the environment than a nuclear plant does under normal operations.

Doesn’t sound like that is what is happening here. Don’t let perfect get in the way of good enough at least in the short term.

Seems like a simple solution would be to carry two phones. If you are stopped hand over the clean one keep the real one out of sight.

The point is one shouldn’t be so naive that you fool yourself into thinking that the range of possible responses to sanctions doesn’t include war. Analogies of sanctions being like giving the school yard bully the cold shoulder seem like ju

There is historical precedent for economic sanctions leading to war. Notability the US froze Japanese assets in the US and embargoed selling US oil to them in July 1941. Less than 5 months later the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. You aren

I own one and drive it in winter including on long distance road trips so this isn’t a belief it is direct experience. The tesla charging stations are numerous and growing rapidly never have I even come close to running out of battery.

by pmorici 5y ago
Your concern is vastly inflated and misplaced. The car always tells you an accurate estimate of remaining range whatever the temperature. Also, the Tesla navigation automatically computes charge stops in real time and ads them to the navig

I think this is the real answer though you won't ever hear them say it out loud. Gas was the reason they got involved in Syria too. Keeping Assad in power enabled them to stop a gas pipeline from being built from the middle east thro

My two cents; If you look past the false rhetoric meant to galvanize the population it is about the ability to maintain coercive influence over their neighbors for economic reasons. To do this they employ intimidation and if all else fails

The security model for satellites has historically been one of assuming physical access was effectively impossible. With technology like this that assumption is going to evolve into needing to consider protections against tampering where p

This isn't a new idea for them. This particular implementation is new but they have tried this scheme before of selling feature unlocks after the initial purchase. https://www.zdnet.com/article/facepalm-of-the-day

Depends on how they implement it. They will probably do it in a way where the license is linked to the processor’s serial number via cryptographic signature using public / private key pair so it can’t be installed on more than the par

No, They use a commodity embedded Linux board that sits separate from the boards that contain the ASICs which do the hash calculations. I agree with OP the title is misleading, what this is describing is very pedestrian.

You can get 8% on stable coin deposits with Gemini Earn and BlockFi. After taxes it’s probably still a slight loss.

My wife got her PhD and some of the things she would talk about that her advisors told her just struck me as nuts. They would lament that it was “sad” people would leave academia to have families ignoring the fact that the jobs paid like cr

The authors description of the two has been consistent with my experience. Buildroot is a lot easier to get going with. There might be good reasons to use yacto but if you are new to all this I wouldn’t start their.

What does advocating for that position have to do with dragging someone for donations to charities? Also why are journalists advocating anything they should be reporting facts. Advocacy belongs in the opinion section.

Then why not write an article advocating a higher taxes policy? Taxing doesn’t magically make money multiply in fact a donation managed properly can endow a charitable organization indefinitely that is never the case with government taxati
