Perhaps change the format. Carlsen stepped down, because it's too much preparation year after year. And with him being the GOAT, everyone was always preparing defensively and hoping for a blunder, making it somewhat "boring" games (quotes, as in draws doesn't have to be boring).

I think their heart is in the right place, but this is also not the right way to handle this. Do what I do instead. When you have a dispute with your landlord and they're failing to either follow the law or the contract, sue them. This is what lawsuits are for. In most cases, you can file yourself and represent yourself in small claims court. I've won, every single time, and I've sued nearly every landlord I've had in my life, because unfortunately most landlords are scumbags that will absolutely try to illegally steal from you or otherwise cause you harm.

There's no point in me "reviewing them" on some random site which someone may or may not see and which has no legal authority. Now there is a permanent court record, publicly searchable by anyone online, showing that they were sued by a tenant and lost because they had done something illegal. I highly highly recommend people to sue their landlords when they do illegal and damaging things. It's not just your right, it's the right thing to do.
It makes me wonder if support for monarchy is somehow linked to per capita GDP, like religiosity (with the US being the biggest exception).
> should I return 200 OK and error message as a JSON or return 40x HTTP code?

Anyone who returns a 200 OK on error is, of course, in a state of sin.

You’re welcome to return a 4xx + JSON, if that is congruent with the client’s Accept header.

Yes, I’m aware that GraphQL uses 200 OK for errors. That is only one of the reasons that it GraphQL is unfit for purpose. Frankly it is embarrassing that it has become popular. It’s like a clown car at a funeral.

So there are ways to vet tenants (credit/background checks) and ways to vet landlords (sites like TFA). They are not ideal but they exist.

Now what is the best way to vet a property management firm?

For background, I own a townhome that I plan to move out of soon. I would like to keep it as a rental but do not want to manage it myself. All I've got for finding a property management firm are Google reviews (worried they are gamed) and colleagues recommendations (they will ignore the request and tell me to manage it myself).

It really depends how much of the methane in the entire chain is combusted. Uncombusted methane has a short term radiative forcing 100x as much as C02.

And it turns out there are a lot of leaks and incomplete combustion in the overall methane supply chain. Residential hookups are a significant source of slow leaks.

So completely avoiding a hookup in the first place may have a larger climate impact than your napkin math suggests.

Because they'll imprison you if you say it isn't.
I’ve come to the conclusion that progressive taxes do the opposite of their intent.

Looks at tax revenue vs GDP. No matter the tax rates, the percentage stays the same (fluctuations within a couple points) regardless of official tax rates.

When you increase taxes on the wealthy, they don’t pay more. They either pay for loopholes to be created or they reduce/stagnate salaries to compensate.

Meanwhile, Congress cares more about who pays them than who votes (there’s a reason they argue about superficial stuff and agree about all the worst stuff).

When all the taxes get paid by the rich, the poor lose that influence and still wind up making the same amount of money anyway.

Universal sales tax is better. If the rich buy more stuff they pay more. There’s no loopholes to be found. You can also provide tax breaks to the poor by reducing or eliminating sales tax on consumer goods which greatly affects the poor, but only marginally affects the rich.

This seems like rather a biased summary of an obscure finding - can anybody point to the exact details that they've drawn these conclusions from (I don't doubt they are there), I had a quick look at the underlying report but it is difficult to navigate and I couldn't see a mention of monarchy.

It's almost like The Guardian is trying really really hard to put the most anti monarchy spin on business-as-usual social attitudes surveying...

The parent’s comment was also saying that gas stoves are essentially a forced choice on poor people who don’t have many options when looking for a place to rent.

Just because you theoretically have more choice in a free market doesn’t mean you actually do, depending on how desperate you are.
I provided facts that make these projections credible. This bears no resemblance to mysticism.

I agree that banning gas for cooking is not important to control climate change. But for new buildings that do not require gas for heating, does it make sense to construct and maintain gas infrastructure just for cooking?
The strongest argument for the monarchy, in my experience, is the alternative is someone elected - and have you seen the people who get elected?

If you want to, you can find coastal elites that dislike anything, even say electric stoves. So what, why do people have all these grievances because of a sense that someone somewhere doesn't like their choices? I'm from the south, I'm positive people there don't like some of my my life choices, I don't go around feeling mad about it. Blaming coastal elites just seems like an excuse to ignore evidence of problematic choices - yet that view also probably doesn't help.

I live in Canada. Some benefits of the monarchy vs the US system:

* Much of the pomp and prestige of the state gets vested in the Governor General. Whereas in the US the president gets treated like a monarch

* People swear allegiance to the monarchy and the state. They serve that rather than the leader

* In the event the prime minister goes truly insane, there is an outside check on their power.

People dismiss these but we have some pretty recent experience down south of someone who could have stood to have less than absolute authority.

(Much of the difference also comes down to parliamentary vs presidential system. Presidential system has had awful results everywhere it has been tried outside the USA)

Monarchical countries as a rule tend to be more stable than others.
I think this headline is subtlety misleading. From the article:

>>> “William Burns, director of the Central Intelligence Agency since 2021, had three meetings scheduled with Epstein in 2014, when he was deputy secretary of state, the documents show. They first met in Washington and then Mr. Burns visited Epstein’s townhouse in Manhattan.”

It implies Epstein was meeting with the CIA chief, when the actual revelation was that he was meeting with the Secretary of State (which is probably equally noteworthy)

The problem with this xkcd is it often gets used to suggest there’s no point taking security measures. Which is like saying you shouldn’t bother locking your front door because they could just get in by breaking the windows.

A more valid interpretation of this xkcd is that one should be wary of being complacent after implementing a security measure. Or just that nerds can often be unrealistic about the threat models they face.
Indeed, better not use strings and their methods.
Chairface Chippendale was just ahead of his time!
The reason is actually well known. It even has a name: imperialism.
This federal 10%, along with state level funding, is typically used to level the funding across the districts. The equalization of per student spending in school districts across the country has largely already happened, with little to show for it in terms of improvement of low performing schools. Rich districts do have more local school funding than poor districts, but this difference is made up with state and federal funds.

There is extreme scarcity of evidence for the idea that giving more money to schools improve outcomes of students. It simply doesn’t work this way. The worst performing schools in many US cities already have very high levels of funding with little to show it, for example in Washington DC. At the same time, quasi-experimental settings like Zuckerberg dropping $100M on Newark schools have basically zero effect in terms of student outcomes.
Looks like what the study and source material actually show is a bias against men. I'm guessing they don't consider this a bias though, and think it's just desserts, as seems to be the current model in academia. Both in hiring and in graduation rates, there is a bias against men shown in the data in this paper.

Forfeiting is almost like accepting the defeat, not in the ability kind of way but "i can't go through the torture anymore" way ..but yeah it's like you accepted the defeat, so it's okay to assume he lost.
That would be a good way to actually make a difference because it not only makes using gas for cooking less attractive but it also makes gas heating and gas powered industry significantly more inconvenient!

EDIT: would probably be a political nightmare to implement though…

tbh I enjoy when documentation gives me an idea of the effort required to go trough it. is it just copy pasting commands? does it require any configuration for achieving different goal? am I supposed to handle prerequisites on my own?

now, "simple" may not be the correct wording for it, but still I wouldn't say that there's no value in indicating the effort beforehand.

> It's not even that hard. Make taxation more progressive, and give extra funding to neighbourhoods and schools in poorer parts of the country/cities. I don't see any reason why European style model couldn't work well also in the US.

You realise that almost all of Europe is poorer than the US?

Yes, you can make people more equal by making the rich poor as well. But what's the point?

Btw, in the US schools in poorer parts already get more funding. That hasn't helped. See https://freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/education-commentary-is...

> This has all had the unfortunate effect of deepening ignorance about American school spending. We know, for example, that majority-Black and Hispanic schools receive significantly more per-pupil funding than majority-white schools. This fact is so contrary to basic liberal assumptions that they often react angrily to hearing it. But this reality shouldn’t surprise anyone. After all, we’ve been shoveling money at the racial achievement gap for 40 years, to no avail. Part of the problem here is an assumption that public education is dominantly funded by local expenditure, which hasn’t been true for some time. In fact, state funding is at or near parity with local spending in the United States, and state funding is heavily tilted towards areas of perceived need (that is, failing schools or districts). Federal funding, including but hardly limited to Title I funding, is also dominantly directed towards poor or high-minority schools. The rising tide of think tank and foundation money that finds its way into public K-12 school is very hard to track, but we can safely assume that almost all of it is earmarked for the poorest students. We’ve been trying to spend our way our of this problem since before I was born! And yet people who should know better pretend not to understand this reality and repeat the complaint about local funding of public schools, despite the fact that that story is not true.

It's been said, quite correctly, that the UK is a republic with a hereditary president, while the US is a monarchy with an elected king. I see plenty of misconceptions about the UK royal family in the comments, from them depending on taxes (they don't) to the importance of the monarch in the government.

I don't really care whether the UK has a king of a president (except that the name change would be annoying) - but the country currently has much bigger issues, including the fact that it's slowly moving towards a single-party authoritarianism.

I mean, I’m not here to argue that the monarchy is very important, but it certainly provides amongst other things: an element of cultural backward compatibility, a reliable tourist attraction, a small element of continuity and temperance to government, a bunch of figureheads and symbolic leaders, and another thread in the rich tapestry that makes a nation unique.

Also, the current royal family knows that they would be about two hours away from a republic being declared if they were ever to abuse their position, and as a result they are reasonably public spirited, insofar as billionaires go.
Hmm almost like people like David Icke are surprisingly well funded and support for a crank who believes the royal family is lizard people.

Of course that's absolute nonsense there's a absolutely no organization out there that would benefit from elevating the most prominent and clearly nuts conspiracy theories in order to discredit other conspiracy theories by association.

The whole situation is bizarre.

Very large number of politicians from all sides including Trump and Clintons, royalties like prince Andrew of UK, academia like MIT Media lab, business and tech tycoons like Bill Gates and Elon Musk were exposed to be involved with a guy proven to be a pedophile and supplier who conveniently died under the supervision of the law enforcement. Now we have the CIA chief. Not to mention the endless scandals among the religion power figures and institutions.

And yet, it's the "plebs" who are to lose their right to privacy to "save the children". At least we have the Reddit poweruser and Epstain colaborator Ghislaine Maxwell alive and in custody, I guess.

It doesn’t really matter how much tax is paid by “the rich” (say, top 1 in 1000), because collectively, they make too little money to make much of a difference even if we taxed 100% of their income.
