how do you use multiple regions when Google only supports certain things in limited regions like Dataflow Shuffle only being available in a single region in north america https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/docs/guides/deploying-a-pi...

In the US you would just get charged with resisting arrest. This is what happens when they ask for your ID and you refuse to give it to them. You wont be convicted but the fact that you can be arrested for resisting arrest without committing any crime is a problem

the important thing everyone misses is that these platforms claim protection from liability on what is post because they claim they dont control what users post. So they user the 1st amendment and claim to just be a platform for everyone to speak but then they choose who gets to speak. If the new york times posts a libelous article written by a freelancer they still get sued because they choose to run the article. How is it different with facebook if they are choosing who can be members?

the argument they made is the money is temporary. After a few years the federal money goes away and the state has to foot the entire bill so they would rather just refuse the program entirely. This is their public reasoning but the reality is more that it is program proposed by Obama so they just want to refuse it on political principle

If you buy equipment you can only deduct its depreciation costs every year. If you pay for services you can deduct the full cost from your taxes.

when you price cap what you are doing is telling shop keepers and warehouse owners that there is no purpose to risk your safety and open back up until things return to normal because you cant make extra profit so they just stay home and no one gets the needed supplies. When you let them profit at least those with money get supplies. The choices really are either no one gets supplies with price caps or only those with money get supplies when gouging is allowed. If supply was capable of reaching everyone then prices would quickly return to normal. There is no fair system of delivering limited supply and high demand without raising prices. If you come up with one please claim your noble prize as you would have the solution to world hunger and poverty

how to define fair?

websters defines it as being genderless when being used to refer to a group of people https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/guy

It was all ideas and plans. They built machines that performed significantly worse than standard tests. Their idea was one machine to run virtually all blood tests with a few drops of blood, their final machine only ran a handful of tests and was so inaccurate that only reason the FDA did not shut them down instantly is they used a loophole to claim it was not a testing machine but just in house lab equipment to assist with testing or some nonsense that meant they did not need FDA to sign off on the machine. Holmes was just a smooth talker and convinced everyone, it also helped that she had major players on her board and even Bill Clinton was supporting her.

The one really weird thing i noticed about her is she never blinks. Watch her give talks and it is like a robot never blinking

That is not how any market works. Just because your customers have more money does not change the supply or demand for your product. A luxury apartment fetches a high price because there is demand from tenants willing to pay the luxury price. No one is going to pay more for the same apartment unless there is more demand for apartments than there is supply like you have in NYC and SF. More income causes prices to rise because people start outbidding each other for everything. Why sell your house for 100k when someone else is offering 120k

The change of address form at USPS is laughably unsecure. All it takes is $1 and anyone can write any address and forward all the mail for 1 year to any other address. There is no verification of ID and the only warning you get is a post card at the original address telling you the mail is being forwarded but by then it is already too late as mail is already being routed to the new address. Even if you called immediately to stop it some of your mail would end up at the new address

they are 3 different colors that are not colorblind friendly

china did this and it just caused every major service to be recreated for chinese users on their side of the internet

no because the actual damage is just your lost income at that job. The reason you will never work again is no one wants to hire someone who sues their employer which is not caused by them firing you. It is the same with renting, if you sue your landlord no other landlord will touch you, many places maintain blacklists of tenants who have sued their landlords

They get signed to a one day try out contract. If they are college players they cant accept any money to retain their amateur status but otherwise they get a small amount of money, around 100 bucks

do not turn on your light to flashing at night. It distracts oncoming traffic and makes it more difficult for them to judge you speed and distance. Flashing lights should only be used during the day time https://www.bikelightdatabase.com/faq/ https://averagejoecyclist.com/use-flashing-bike-lights/

it is called dry wall because it is installed while already dry. Unlike the old technique of lath and plaster where you build up the wall with multiple layers of wet plaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lath_and_plaster

in china nothing is private, not even your medical info. Your employer can see your medical records if they want and often force employees to get yearly medical checks that are forwarded to HR and it is often used to figure out which female employees are pregnant and they will try to get rid of them rather than pay maternity leave. There are laws against all this but not enforced

this noise is commonly referred to as coil whine and is made by any high voltage electrical component. The sound comes from the electron gun which has very high voltage passing through it. If you cant hear it you have hearing damage because most crts make the noise just on the edge of human hearing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically_excited_ac...

this is exactly the case. Try saying "taiwan is an independent country" in beijing and see how well that statement is received

not young but most would consider it premature death. Average life expectancy in US is over 75

they should just relaunch justin.tv and move the IRL section to there. The big problem that the gamer streamers have is the IRL streamers are flooding twitch with users that are not the gaming streamers audience

they are already penalized. H1B farms like tata and inforsys just submit thousands of applications knowing most wont make it through the lottery. They are just throwing shit and the wall and seeing what sticks. Startups cant afford to file that many applications and only submit one application for the worker they need and most likely wont get it

that is not how they caught him. They used a correlation attack. He was stupid and posted something using his personal email on stackoverflow about setting up tor website and processing bitcoin transactions. He then used a linked account to advertise silk road a few times. This made him a prime suspect. They followed him for weeks and watched that every time dread pirate roberts logged in and posted on silk road he was sitting in a cafe or library on his computer connected to a vpn. This was enough for them to get a search warrant and they found all the other evidence they needed to convict him on his laptop

nfl players cant start collecting that pension until they are 55

BMR units should not be required by private developers. This is a public problem that private developers are being forced to solve and many are just refusing to build more housing because they cant make a profit. Instead of requiring them to build BMR units just require all apartments to rent out 25% of units to section 8 housing and the city can subsidize the rent of low income people. The more barriers to housing you put in the more developer leave the market. If you want BMR units then have the city build them and they can build 100% BMR complexes

it is great for money laundering which is why it is so popular in china. You can buy btc in cash no questions asked and it is untraceble and then sell it at a legit exchange in another country and claim it as legit income or just move it from country to country bypassing currency controls in places like china where no bank will allow you to send more than 50k USD per year out of the country

Thatcher was too soft. The UK gave up HK for nothing. They could have milked china for billions by making the terms a sale rather than just returning the land to them. The UK had to give up the new territories in 97 but could have kept kowloon and hong kong island which would have forced china to setup border checks/customs in the middle of the city which would have been impossible without tearing down hundreds of buildings. Without borders goods would have freely flooded through kowloon into the mainland and vastly disrupted the economy just look at the fact that today thousands of tons of goods are hand carried across the HK border to avoid paying tariffs.

Thatcher showed her hand early and made it clear she carried more about stable trade for the UK in HK. Once she let the chinese know that is what she wanted they knew they could ask for anything because if the deal failed the economy in HK would collapse.

yes and it has been ruled that while you are delivering a pizza you car is not covered by your regular insurance unless you have a commercial use policy

yes if the food safety inspector is not performing an inspection a restaurant has right to refuse them service. Uber was deny inspectors service while they were not doing announced inspections. This is like saying you cant refuse to sell alcohol to a minor if you know they are part of government undercover sting. Uber is able to identify government agents try to perform a sting and preemptively refused them service
