Getting to the point you were responding to: in fact Feinstein won on the back of a bunch of "republican" votes, cast strategically in a "blue" state where a traditional candidate wasn't likely to win. Which is to say: nonpartisan voting did exactly what it was advertised to do and resulted in the election of a centrist candidate.

Obviously there are other externalities to consider (Feinstein is very senior), etc... But I don't know why anyone is so upset that she's the "worst democrat". She'd be the "worst republican" too.

You want consensus-building nonpartisan elections, you get candidates that reflect social consensus and not your particular party's priorities.
So how do we, um.. destroy them all?
Living wage is an argument advocated by inherently privileged individuals, you can tell because a livable COL rarely comes up in the same breath. If the person is alive and doing the job it's a living wage, just because Californians don't like having to confront that their elitist policies are wildly exacerbating the cost of living doesn't mean the job should be disregarded because without it that individual would require even more support or have to leave the state (which most Californians seem fine with because there's nothing prejudice about driving out the poor apparently).
I've heard you just need to register it as an RV (and actually have a permanent box on the back) if you want your LMTV to be registered without the annual commercial fees. Is that not true anymore?
Not without a change in the underlying dynamics including infrastructure. Used car sales and prices have dropped drastically and so people would just keep their old inefficient cars longer than ever before.

Remote working if it sticks might contribute more to car reduction.

Not really. The fix for the cargo doors was not affecting the aerodynamics, centre of gravity and how the plane handled. The pilots didn't need updated type certification for the fixed cargo doors.

The hybrid can pump out 72 kwh/10 hour day, and still tow your equipment trailer home. CT isn't going to be able to do this for a while yet
Fun fact: in some states they passed laws that make it illegal to pump your own gas just so gas station attendants wouldn't lose their jobs.
I'm so glad you asked. In 1978 Californians passes Proposition 13, written for and sponsored by the Los Angeles Apartment Owners' Association, which says that property assessments may not increase by more than 2% per year or CPI, whichever is less. Property tax rates may not exceed 1% of assessed value. So the max theoretical assessment of a building bought for 1.05 million twenty years ago is 1.56 million.
That's down right amazing. I've been working on a software to get and repost images to a suite of IG accounts using InstaPy, but IG has too many account blocks and throttles.

You have shared some very insightful information here -- especially about buying accounts and engagement rates. And have definitely executed something that I have only thought of.

I'm working with a client right now to find influencers in 1m+ range to do 24h posts for their apps. Maybe I'll get to retry automation soon.

The quoted Japanese executive is betting that the next administration will probably do it's best to undo these actions that Trump is taking. That's the cost of Trump (and others) acting unilaterally rather than building consensus. If he had chosen to compromise on other things with his opponents and gotten them on board with this, this trade policy would have been taken seriously and had its intended effect. Instead Trump is left with nothing.

Although it's in vogue to hate on Biden for being old, out of touch, not progressive enough etc., this speaks to the effectiveness of his core political strategy - reaching across the aisle and building consensus. The system might not usually reward such behaviour, but it often leads to solutions that last.
> If anyone is benefiting from uninternalized road damage subsidies, it’s people in cities who need to truck in all their food and stuff.

As opposed to all the rural subsistance farmers who build all their own stuff? I'm sure there's a handful such people out there, but everybody else has their food and stuff trucked in just as much, with a 30 minute car ride added on top to haul things back to the ranch.

What are you most important daily habits?

My vice wing commander, command chief, and I all subscribe to the “2-10-5-7 philosophy”, which is two hours of alone time, 10 hours of work, five hours of family time, and seven hours of sleep

That must require so much discipline - something to aspire to.

Investors and Capital-Hungry Companies Adapt to Covid-19 Crisis
I never played a video game on Kongregate because when I was interested in browser games Miniclip was number 1 in Europe.

I think browser games kinda died when smartphones came around because you got better experience when playing a game naively than in a smartphone browser.

But I think browser games technology is better than ever and there are a lot of opportunities to explore in that industry.
And what's even more interesting - human would do exactly the same thing.

Add items to card, check the total price and then decide whether to buy it(i remember trying to order some stuff form one japanese plamo store - and it didn't provide exact prices before checkout. I went through the process, but even the cheapest option for delivery was way too high - as 2x price of the whole order)
I guarantee you the source code for Windows 95 is vastly larger than the 106 MB we're talking about for Rails.

LabDoor Review – Supplement Reviews Based on Lab Results
I can tell you didn't grow up during the 70's, with leaded gas and carburetors that dumped raw fuel out the tailpipe. In comparison, today's cars emit practically nothing but water. (there's room for improvement of course - but I see that as being an EV once they get to a half-day's driving range)
Excepting rent, the remaining wages are going to go towards things that are more likely to have a sales tax. For most states that is ~5%. An extra Jackson a month adds up quick for someone in this position.
>it's kind of satisfying to see these policies have the opposite of the intended effect

This policy is actually doing exactly what it is suppose to. It is preventing more auto manufacturers from moving operations to Mexico or Canada where labor and Exchange rates are more favorable.

GM, FORD, Toyota, Honda, Chrysler all had their eye on moving more production to Mexico, this new agreement probably stops that.

I don't think anyone thought an auto manufacturer in Mexico would pull up shop and move to the US, that wouldn't make sense.
In broad terms, USA is largely funded by global economy. This is done by setting US$ as master currency, so in effect, America's biggest export is dollar that gets consumed by rest of the world. When Fed prints out $6T, the inflation transfers to rest of the world and little to US. The ownership of US$ allows Americans to buy expensive goods manufactured by labor and materials in rest of the world by merely manufacturing currency as primary export.

I think it is possible that in future, Americans don't have to work and rely completely on their export of US$ as world currency. The global currency must be protected military might and a constitution that allows for fairness, justice and ability to challenge authority. This is necessary for the trust and stability in global economics. The country owning the global currency would also need to setup military restrictions so that other countries may not be allowed to match military power. All this might look bad but it is truly an economic service that is needed to be provided by someone. US citizens job is then to protect constitution, military powers and the currency. For that job, they get goods and services from rest of the world. As merely 5% of population is engaged in providing this economic service, it is probably not an inefficient either.
As a more historical example of this, a lot of WWII fighters had a max power setting on the throttle that had a wire strung across it, but the pilot could break past the wire to go to 'War Emergency Power' and gain anywhere from 15-50%+ more horsepower from the engine. The use had to be logged and after a few hours of this the engine would need to get a complete tear-down and rebuild.

It is basically a 'you are trading away this engine to save your life' setting, but sometimes that was a necessary thing to do.
Damn son, I almost got phished. 1Password just saved my bacon
Most of the "Belgian-style" beers I tasted have been crap. Recently I tried Allagash White and was pretty impressed with it. But, whenever possible, I just go with an actual Belgian beer.

Back in the late 90's I fell in love with a Belgian beer called Moinette that came in a large bottle with a cork on top. It had a high alcohol level at the time. Loved it! To this day, it's still my favorite beer ever.
Typically it’s not that the port dies but that it fills up with compacted lint to the point that the power pins can no longer make a connection. A careful pick around with a SIM tray tool usually revives it.

I'm 18 and am working two jobs this summer, though I have had one for over a year. While I'm in development, I've got several friends who are working as lifeguards at a pool. It stinks that your son can't find one, but there are jobs.
You mentioned you end up working after they go to bed, and before they get up; and then left it at that. Is that necessarily a bad thing?

I ask since I do something similar semi-regularly now, and I don't find it to be a negative thing for myself. I was always remote even before COVID (and it sounds like you are too). There are parts of my job that aren't time-flexible (meetings) and parts that are (coding). I just tend to code before kid wakes up, when kid is napping, or after her bed time. For meetings, they have to happen in the morning of the work day and that's fine. Overall, I don't really mind the whole bending of my coding hours to work with my family's schedule. I actually kind of enjoy it this way because I know that when I'm coding, I'm undisturbed.

Sorry, I expressed it wrong. I wanted to say that when someone is accused of something, including of being a racist or something related to racism, it's normal to be defensive about it and take that posture.

I don't think the researcher was being defensive just because it was about racism.

You can call it what you like, Russian statesmen and elites thought of many of these territories as Russian. Ukraine above all. Lots of these regions had been part of Russian empire for 100s of years. Some still have Russian military bases and space ports in them and some speak Russian.

Russia has lots 'non-Russian' regions inside of its border that they also think are part of Russia.

> But the way you and Russia talk about it shows that they still consider that to be their territory, even though it is now a different country. That attitude leads Russia to think they have a right to meddle in their former territory.

I'm explaining wat the Russian perspective is, I'm not taking Russia side.

Yes they do. Like literally ever great or regional power does. US literally claims dominance over a gigantic region, basically half the world. See what happens when China tries to put Mexico under a nuclear umbrella.

These issues need to be considered in diplomacy.

> Second: Why did those countries join NATO? Because NATO held a gun to their head and told them they have to join? No, because Russia kept talking and acting in ways that made them afraid that they were going to get pressured, meddled with, invaded, and/or annexed. They wanted something bigger than their own military to protect them, so they pushed to join NATO.

I agree. Where did I deny that? Of course these countries want foreign protection. They are well aware of their own weakness.

But just because somebody ask me to fight for them, doesn't mean its a good idea for me to do so. Maybe they would be better helped with other kinds of support.

> All of which leaves Russia feeling surrounded and encroached upon. But the cause of that has been the Russian habit of trying to treat former territory as still their own, rather than the evil machinations of the West.

Any power would respond when you try to literally surround it with a nuclear umbrella.

The West pushed and pushed NATO further East, and that's a fine strategy for them and certainty made some amount of sense even if Russia didn't like it. But at some point you need to realize that Russia was gone respond if you take it to far.

The Russians quite strategically invaded Georgia to make it impossible for them to join NATO. The reason they did that was quite clearly to stop the Eastward expansion of NATO. They had over, and over and over again in negotiation said that extending NATO into Ukraine and Georgia was a vital interest for them. In a way that it wasn't with the Baltic's for example.

And again, I'm not 'on the side of Russia'. But when you are talking about practical diplomacy, I think the Western powers miscalculated. Georgia under NATO was a terrible idea. Giving Ukraine hope to be in the EU is an equally terrible idea. Not just because of Russian response, but for other reasons as well.

Blocking NATO expansion to Georgia and annexing Crima were simple sensible policies that should have surprised nobody. But they don't represent a massively expansionist policy on Russia part. I think Russia knows they can't really do that.

By "stripping equity" do you mean taking out home equity loans whenever possible? Or are there other efficient ways to strip equity?

Quoting this because I would only fail to phrase it any better:

> Getting hooked on computers is easy — almost anybody can make a program work, just as almost anybody can nail two pieces of wood together in a few tries. The trouble is that the market for two pieces of wood nailed together — inexpertly — is fairly small outside of the "proud grandfather" segment, and getting from there to a decent set of chairs or fitted cupboards takes talent, practice, and education.

No, we're saying the opposite. The first commenter is saying that the free months of rent would lower the base rate.

The second commenter (me) is saying that those discounts don't count towards the base rate.

SF does not include temporary discounts in their base rate calculation: https://sfrb.org/section-372-definitions
And some do, and require over $1.1M in services. Hence risk pooling insurance.

I do not need to coast underworked "just in case" -- I do not idle very well, it makes me restless.

Yesterday, the exact same apartment after complete reconstruction was offered for $2500/month plus two free months. That's pretty incredible.
