I do think its more likely the tag fell off than the airline is lying as a matter of standard operating procedure. I can't exclude the possibility, but I don't think it's as likely.

Because it costs hundreds of billions of dollars. Look how much California spent on a non-functional, slow, version to nowhere. You'd be much better off spending that money on local commuter rail, which is more or less a prerequisite f

The station that is 5 min near me is like a 30 minute subway ride (plus 0-20 minute wait) to Union Station in DC. Then I'd have to switch to Acela (with some wait time probably 30 minutes for a safety buffer). And my house is too expen

If the bag had a readable tag and the database wasn't wrong, then it wouldn't be unclaimed, presumably. Not for certain of course, but you gotta imagine the most common error is that the bag lost its tag and now its impossible to

The sweet spot for HSP in North America is pretty small. The vast majority of people who could a ride afford already have a vehicle. And the vast majority of people don't live particularly close to a central rail station. So even thoug

And copyright law deals with the difference between inspiration and copying. To vastly oversimply it, it depends how close the original is to alleged copy. No reason you can't apply that framework to AI. Where AI might get into more tr

>Many legal things are evaluated lazily: the law may not specify exactly what the vehicle is, but if such need arises, there are tools, like precedents and analogy, to answer this question. That's how common law and precedents work

Their intelligence officers must have known. They lived here as diplomats and free access to just travel around. Maybe people like Yeltsin didn't believe them or the KGB was afraid to tell people, but they should have known.

They will probably resurface somewhere. While HBOmax was shelving some content for good for tax write offs—this is probably about selling rights to the highest bidder.

HBO Max isn’t HBO—it’s HBO plus other Warner bros stuff. Velma was made by the non-HBO side.

Americans don't consider Portuguese from Portugal to be non-white. Nobody calls Devin Nunes a POC, for example. They consider Brazilians to be people of color even if they are pureblood Portuguese, which is absurd. But that's how

Portuguese don’t count a PoC. Unless their ancestors moved to Brazil—then they count.

That's exactly what I said. 300 cals indefinitely. I obviously didn't mean you eat one slice of pizza and gain 50lbs. It's easy to say "put down the pizza," but pizza is just an example. 300 calories is also 1/

The amount of calories to add an extra 50 lbs isn't that crazy. It's around 300 calories a day. So more like 1 *slice* of pizza extra. That is why weight loss is hard to achieve. If you are hungry, it's hard to--over an entir

Trademarks are supposed to designate the source of a product or good--not the good itself--and you have to actually use it in practice. The estate could have probably created Sherlock brand corncob pipes and maintained a trademark. But tha

Kids need extra protection since they can’t weigh risk and don’t understand how the world works. So I understand if my daughters can’t have peanuts in elementary school if their classmate has a real allergy. But policies go above and beyond

Moving for a job has a huge social cost for most people. You leave behind everyone you know. That might be worth it for someone who wants to forge a career or explore. But for the average person who pushes paper at a generic office? You can

Customized personal pronouns are just another name. They lose all value if they are high customizable. I get why people don't want to misgendered. But making up a new pronoun comes across as aggressive attention seeking.

The vast majority of people aren't affected by minimum wage. A lot of middle class people are against it because it hurts their expenses. Calibrating the base income is tricky.

Because you can tax the minority (higher income) and because people see the benefits of taxation. If taxes were per-head we'd probably see people voting them as low as possible. You can also tax things indirectly or in a more abstract

The biggest flaw is that every election would have at least one party, if not both, pushing for increasing the base income regardless of whether or not it makes sense.
