> US contribution to USSR's military production was less than 1%

Even most blatant Soviet propaganda put that into 4%.

Marshal Zhukov said that Lend-lease was critical to Soviet victory. And that was from a man who took Berlin.

Just a few facts: for USSR lend-lease accounted for 30% of trucks, more than half of aviation fuel and about 93% of railroad equipment.

So it's definetely not a propaganda.

There's an element of intrinsic redundancy. Most solar panels can withstand considerable impact damage with only a modest loss of efficiency. The loss of a panel doesn't knock out the whole array. On a community level, losing power in some fraction of your buildings is much less disastrous than being knocked off the grid.
Thank you for your candor.

I always have the same three questions about Oswald for people who subscribe to this theory:

1) What happened in his last three years of his life that took him from Maggie's Drawers to the skill required to execute such incredible precision shooting? Do you believe that he dedicated himself to intense rifle training during this time without anyone knowing?

2) Why didn't he fire as the motorcade approached on Houston?

3) We now know from video evidence that he was not in the window 5 seconds before the shooting took place. Why not? Why wasn't he watching his target during this time? Even if he wanted to hide the rifle for that moment?

Bonus question: have you ever tried to hit a target at this range? A moving target? Without having your rifle in a ready position 5 seconds prior? It takes years and years of training to get this good.

For my part, I'd certainly vote to acquit Oswald based on what we know today if I were consider this case as a juror. We have video evidence that he was not in the window 5 seconds prior, and witnesses to establish his whereabouts just 3 minutes later on the first floor (where he was calmly drinking a coke, not out of breath from having darted down six flights of stairs).

But if it was him, this was an incredible, astonishing feat of marksmanship and escape.

Having spent 7 years getting a PhD (and a year prior working at a top lab), and then at industry; one of the most amusing facts to me is the belief in academia that professors/postdocs have much longer hours and "work harder" than their "9-5" colleagues in industry.

If you speak with recovering professors and post-docs who've joined industry, you'll quickly realize that one of their big surprises is the faster pace of work, and how much of it there is. Publishing of course is not sufficient, it actually has to work, at scale, reproducibly.

I like the academic environment, because at its best, it allows you explore something very deeply. Efficiency and creativity are different goals. There is value to a meandering path. Even if industry may have a fast pace solving problems, academia at its best, makes you ask a better / different question.
If you see the adoption of sustainable technology as a social good, then it would be a missed opportunity to not publicize this event. It's a great advert for solar power and battery storage.
Why oppose a Russian millionaire buying an LA townhouse, but not a Texan millionaire buying the same townhouse? After all, both millionaires earned their millions thanks to low taxes and lax regulations in their native land. Isn't it unfair for an LA native to compete against either of them?

Why oppose a Russian millionaire buying an LA townhouse, but not a Russian millionaire buying a Degas painting? If LA residents deserve laws to help them buy a townhouse in a good neighborhood, don't they deserve laws to help them buy other luxuries?

Why oppose a Russian millionaire buying an LA townhouse, but not a Russian tourist buying a ticket to Disneyland? Tickets to a venue of limited size are the most inelastic of goods. If you ban foreigners, won't that help lower demand for tickets (and therefore ticket prices) and reduce lines for native LA visitors?
Trump was about to release all the files and then the CIA recommended he not do that.

The CIA also wrote this nice memo for Trump:

> "I am ordering today that the veil finally be lifted" on the records, the memo said. "At the same time, executive departments and agencies have proposed to me that certain information should continue to be redacted because of national security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns. I have no choice -- today -- but to accept those redactions rather than allow potentially irreversible harm to our nation's security."

You've gotta love the "I have no choice" wording...

From the best book on this topic, JFK and the Unspeakable:

> The book's central thesis is that Kennedy was a cold warrior who turned to peace-making, and that as a result he was killed by his own security apparatus

> The book highlights the Bay of Pigs Invasion as the Central Intelligence Agency's attempt to entrap Kennedy into a full-scale US invasion of Cuba. Citing Daniel Schorr's conclusion that "In effect, President Kennedy was the target of a CIA covert operation that collapsed when the invasion collapsed", the book argues that the result of this operation was Kennedy's avowed intention "to splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds."

> The forced resignation of CIA Director Allen Dulles and several deputies served notice that this statement might be followed through. The book describes Kennedy's conflict with the military, including over the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (ratified by the Senate in September 1963), and a back-channel to Fidel Castro in September 1963, via William Atwood, aimed at normalising relations, and National Security Action Memorandum 263 (beginning withdrawal from Vietnam).

> The book also cites an April 1962 confrontation with the US steel industry, led by U.S. Steel, which together with five other steel companies declared a price increase shortly after an agreement had been brokered to avoid them, in order to control inflation. The Kennedy administration raided corporate offices, issued subpoenas, and tasked the Defense Department with overseas marketing of its steel. Shortly after the steel industry backed down, Henry Luce's Fortune published an editorial, headlined "Steel: The Ides of April", stating that the price rise had been conceived in political terms as a means to either damage the President's credibility, or to unite the business world against him.

This is a good suggestion, however, it might not be useful globally. People in the tropics/around the equator get so much sunlight that they would not want to trade the convenience of our current time systems with having to adjust it based on the sun just for that extra daylight.

Why does that seem strange? All laws are the group imposing on the individual - what they aren't allowed to say, what they can't do, what they have to do, who they need to hire, where they can dig, when they are allowed to build, etc. None of that is far from "who isn't allowed to buy."
The really long days are in late June. In early May you’d be halfway between equinox and solstice...
HADO world cup 2017
Wow, this is a really cool idea.

It does mean that we'd have a lot more time zones because time zones would change both along longitude and latitude. It'd also mean that the time delta between two time zones north and south of each other would have a delta that changes every day, and wouldn't be a multiple of a single hour.

To illustrate, think of two time zones, one on the equator, and another straight north enough that the day length changes by an hour between the solstices. On the equinox their clocks are identical and on each solstice they are 30 minutes apart in either direction. Halfway between an equinox and a solstice, they'd be 15 minutes apart. And so on.

If you try and adjust the rules so that each zone is always an integral multiple of an hour apart from any other zone, then you end up with clocks jumping forward & back an hour which is basically what we were trying to avoid in the first place!

So you'd always need a computer when trying to arrange a meeting across time zones. I imagine we'd get used to it, though.

Another question is: what time would you pick for sunrise on really northern latitudes below the Arctic circle? For example Anchorage AK has a shortest day and shortest night of 5.5 hours. 9AM might be a good choice for the winter solstice, but it'd really suck waking up in the dark on the summer solstice when there's 18.5 hours of daylight! So maybe they'd set their time zone to smoothly change from a sunrise of 6AM to a sunrise of 9AM and back with the rest of the variance in the sunset times.

North of the Arctic circle they're screwed no matter what they do, so I imagine they'd just join the time zone of their neighbors to the immediate south just for commercial convenience. :)

It gets complicated, but time zones are complicated no matter what you do, and one hour clock shifts really suck. And sticking with DST also sucks, see minikites' comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15564160). So this really does seem to be the best of bost worlds. I'd vote for it.

It totally depends on the company you work for.

I work for a company whose stock is going up. This makes it a great company to hold stock in. Unless, some other company's stock is going up faster. Which there always will be, but I don't necessarily know which one. I could be making more money. The trick is knowing which, unfortunately reading tea leaves is difficult.

So I diversify. I leave some money in my company, I put some money in other investments. That way, if my own company goes down in flames, I am not totally lost, and if they continue going up, then I gain.

What you need to do is understand your company, its products, its history, likely future, and risk factors. Yes that is a lot of stuff to research, but it is the way to sleep better at night while feeling good about yourself and your investments.

People on the equator get no more sun time then anybody else. It's just that theirs is evenly distributed, they get ~12 hours of sun every single day of the year.

They'd be completely indifferent, their current clocks would still work, they'd just be annoyed at the other time zones moving around on them.
This debate is simply that of liberalizing or controlling a nation's capital account. There are benefits to both.

The benefit of liberalization (i.e. no limits on foreign investment) is that it can provide "a higher rate of return on people’s savings in industrial countries by increasing growth, employment opportunities, and living standards in developing countries." [1]

The benefit of controlling (i.e. limit foreign investment) is that it can reduce market volatility and risk. "International investors are willing to lend to them in good times but tend to pull back in bad times, thereby amplifying swings in the domestic macroeconomy." [1]

> instead of addressing underlying economics (limited supply meeting increasing demand causing raising prices) by increasing supply...

This is an economic solution. They chose to lower demand to keep prices down. If you would do something differently, say raise supply to keep prices down, how would you do that? Would you make more land? What would happen to people who you rezoned out of their houses?

If you want to have constant day lengths, you can't make sunrise your reference. It's physically not possible. There are (almost) exactly 24 hours between each solar noon. There aren't 24 hours between each sunrise, that's why it moves every day. You'd have to change your day length at least twice a year.

Perhaps in the past this would have been ok, but today it's IMO definitely not worth the additional complication that comes from changing day lengths.

As an immigrant New Yorker, I welcome this step and kudos to the local government of NZ for taking such initiative. For example on NYC foreign investors have ruined the prospect for an average hard working New Yorker couple to purchase a property at a reasonable price. Foreign investors (Chinese, Russians and Middle Easterns, nothing personally against all of these demographics) have been pouring in capital via greedy American established real estate management agencies. Often owners do not want to deal with the hassle of loan approval, waiting times etc and they mostly take the offer whoever pays the quickest cash. Same thing is happening in Vancouver and other major metropolitan cities across the nation and the world.

It’s not the liberal vs conservative. I am an African American living in a county that made national news 30 years ago for not exactly being welcoming to minorities. If you’re from GA you know where I’m talking about. Just search for “Oprah GA”. It’s definitely still very conservative but it feels more Romney conservative than Trump populist. I’ve never felt any weird vibes here.

Quoting the OP: "It would mean that a given clock time on day N+1 is no longer exactly 24 hours later than that same clock time on day N, but I don't think that would matter for ordinary life. I'd be willing to put up with that if it means I get the benefits of DST (more evening light in summer) without the two big discontinuities a year."
Here is what I believe. After Oswald's first shot Kennedy's limo, and the chase vehicles all hit the gas The chase vehicle directly behind Kennedy had FBI agents with M-16's, with the safety off, standard protocol. There is a picture of the car directly behind Kennedy, where the FBI agent has his M-16 resting on the top the windshield angled slightly downward, the chase vehicle as a convertible as well. When all the cars hit the gas to get out after the first Oswald shots I think the agent holding that M-16 accidentally pulled the trigger when he was knocked off balance when the car accelerated. That shot was the head shot was the kill shot. The bullet from kennedy's skull was a different type and smaller caliber than what came from Oswald's gun.

The reason for the cover-up was to protect the FBI agent, telling the American public that an FBI agent accidentally did a head shot on the president wasn't something anyone wanted, plus the shot that Oswald hit Kennedy with would have killed him anyway.
The 10% figure that is constantly tossed around is garbage, it was calculated by counting number of owners that voluntarily declared they were foreigners.

Many new condo developments in Vancouver and Toronto are offered for sale in Asian countries exclusively before Canadian citizens can even make an offer on them. If you drive around Toronto there are real estate signs openly advertising areas that don't have a 15% foreign buyer tax.

The RCMP recently busted an elaborate Chinese money laundering ring in Vancouver that was processing $500 million/year in foreign cash alone. Much of it was being used to purchase real estate in Canada. The last article I read mentioned Canadas laws are so lax the authorities couldn't even seize the real estate directly involved in the scam because it was owned by Chinese citizens through shell corps.
