AFAIK there's not much causal evidence for supporting NYCs "No Broken Window" policies effect. Phasing out of lead has more explanatory power.

One of the heavy pregnant woman photographed there has her instagram full of hundreds of Russians calling her a crisis actor, wishing her and her (yet unborn) child death and being raped. [0]
That's also the position of Russia MFA [1]

One reason that domestic shipping cost is so high is that 1920 Jones Act[0] prohibits shipping between US ports with non-US ships. This drastically reduces competition and increases prices. Hawaii are particularly hit by this, with estimate $1800 per year per family in extra cost [1].

Passport used to travel is called foreign passport.
I've had a coworker posting on FB how he's supporting Putin and "Russia doesn't start wars, it ends them."
He left Russia for US in early 2000s, returned for a year in 2018 and is now in London.
Fixes moral hazard pretty good.
This is trivially circumvented via "attach fine to car" and "driving in a car with fine attached is illegal." (AFAIK that's how it works in Ukraine).
End result is the same.
Raised crossings[1] or deliberate narrowing [2] forces people to pay attention and slow down.

I was too lazy to check the exact value of 2^31 and payed for it.
You can write code that is valid as in "can be compiled" but outside of C++ standard. It is duty of programmer to not have those, as compiler usually assumes that there's no UB in your code and can do unintuitive things with optimizations.
e.g
int foo(int8_t x) {
x += 120
return x;
}
int bar(int8_t y) {
int z = foo(y);
if (y > 8) {
do_important_thing(z);
}
}
1. signed overflow is a UB. Compiler than assumes that everything passed to foo is less than 8;
2. We pass y to foo => y < 8
3. if branch can then be optimized out
She got 13.4%, other Tymoshenko got 0.62. Even if you add them she's still in 3rd place.

Foreign corporation wants to do X but X is banned in country.
We don't accept that for minimum wages, discrimination laws, pollution laws, etc. Why should communication laws be any different?
base odds: 20:80 = 1:4
relative odds = (1 letter/6 letters) : (2 letters / 8 letters) = 2/3
posterior odds = 1:4*2:3 = 1:6
Final probability = 1/(6+1) = 1/7 or roughly 14.2%
Check out Shellings model of segregation [0]. Global seggregation doesn't necessarily mean that local decisions have strong preference for their race.
e.g. for two types it's enough to have preference "I want at least 33% of my neighbours to be same type as me" to reach segregated global result.

I find the claim almost trivially true: we care about electricity production, so that should be the main goal we're tracking.
That group is still pretty price sensitive. Maybe not enough to drop beef completely, but enough to at least partially move to pork or chicken.

*Total* urban area in the world was around ~3.5M km^2 in 2010[0], or 1% of total ocean area. Daily evaporation dwarves anything a couple thousands of drones can do in the morning.

My zip code corresponds to flats 90-180 in my building.
Slight correction - damage per axle is proportional to 4th power of load per axle. In practice it means slightly less than 4th power of weight (due to semis usually having more axles).

Profit per employee sets salary ceiling. Market sets salary.
The higher the food chain you go - the higher amount of contaminants deposited.
One of the most famous examples of this is mercury levels is higher in large fish as the food chain is longer.
Blocking usability of LEO is not ideal, but blocking launches is really not the risk.
