There's already a growing amount of smoke in almost every sport, it's not going to explode like it should because no one is actually interested in enforcement outside isolated players.
It's pretty close to one. Having all your games in a single digital library along with cloud saves and achievements for those games in a single place is a real benefit that would lead to a monopoly.
PFAS was used in a lot of different things, the sources of major contamination are military bases and manufacturing plants, but it was used in a wide array of consumer products so there is some level of contamination almost everywhere.
That's close enough to my experience in state government. The biggest problem was generally a lack of widespread competence. There was plenty of red tape, but there were also lots of people whose job was to deal with that tape.
While most the manufacturing work has left the US, the Midwest is full of engineering universities. It's not a coincidence that the big 3 auto companies were based in Detroit and Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania are full of top engineering colleges. There's still lots of nameless firms there designing all sorts of things that are manufactured across the globe, but they don't have the employee count to be massive drivers of a city's economy.
There's plenty of material in Harry Potter to serve as a useful book for the basics of literary analysis. The quotability isn't really relevant to that. There's bravery, slavery, love, loss, fascism, resistance, classism, racism, journalistic integrity, crime and punishment, the hero's journey, and more.
For the farmer that owns the land the windmill got built on it's great. The handful of houses in the area get fuck all though and actually have to deal with the externalities.
Dollar stores are generally more expensive in the long run than other stores. They make their money on higher per unit margins and/or vastly lower quality of products.
I'm not sure I can agree with that. I think the top level of curling has reached a point that's boring to watch as too many shots are perfect. It leads to boring games of waiting for a missed shot. It's far more entertaining to watch the chaos of a mixed doubles match. That said I wish I could see more than just the Olympics.
A manager of developers should know how to code, but any formal expectation of them coding shouldn't exist. This holds for medium to large organizations. The managerial duties should be enough to require the vast majority of their attention. Expecting development on top of management is a way to add fake capacity to a team to help ensure burnout.
It's saying you don't need to be proud of your app that has multiple layers of abstractions to be immune to every possible change. There are hard problems, but the most complex solution is rarely good or best.
I'd argue just making everything POST is the correct way to do a public Api too. REST tricks you into endpoints no one really wants, or you break it anyway to support functionality needed. SOAP was heavy with it's request/respone, but it was absolutely correct that just sending everything as POST across the wire is easier to work with.
Maine, New Hampshire, Tennessee, and Vermont are the only states that don't have any limits on the increase in property taxes. California may be on the low end at 3%, but most are limiting to less than 10% growth. You can read more here https://www.kiplinger.com/taxes/property-tax-cap-by-state
There's not a market for healthcare in America though, at least not accessible to the average person. There is a market for Companies and insurance providers, insurance providers and doctors, but essentially nothing for a person and a doctor. It's practically impossible to actually shop for most medical procedures, by price, service quality, outcome, or any other potential metric. It's a little better for prescription drugs as different companies offer different sets of discounted drugs, but consolidation has hurt that too. Using prescription coverage, the patient is once again far removed from any actual market.
The vast majority of houses aren't rebuilt with any regularity in the US. The extreme high-end McMansions are commonly rebuilt, but that's an outlier. Much of the affordable housing is the luxury apartments of 40-80 years ago.
Separate rates and markets already exist. Commercial property is a totally different market than residential, and agricultural is yet another market. Investment into residential is different than primary residence in origination rules and pricing.
It doesn't matter. It's still just as illegal to get into an unlocked car or one with wide open doors without permission. The same premise applies to computers in a lot of places, access controls don't matter. If you access something on a computer not indented to be accessible, it's considered a crime.
Obesity isn't a temporary problem, practically every weight loss solution fails at 2-5 year outlooks. If this drug has to be taken for decades it's still better than decades of obesity.
This is explicitly not what this ruling means. The Judicial branch will rule is an agency has the power to regulate a limit for X in the water. The limit would still be set by an agency.
It's not prop 13 that made property values 10x in the last 30 years. It's the lack of supply forcing bids ever higher. Downsizing and rebasing taxes isn't a big deal if you went from a 1980s 100k 4-bedroom house to a modern 300k 2-bedroom condo, it's a huge problem if the cheapest option is over 1 million.
It could work with abundant housing, say 20% more housing than the number of people that want to live there. If there's always a lot of empty units, landlords are encouraged to reduce rents to not be stuck with too many vacancies. Rents can go up so much now because there are more qualified applicants than units. That number likely requires about 200% more housing in large cities, which is unlikely to ever happen.
The effects of prop 13 are overstated. The problem is California didn't build enough where people want to live. Many states have laws restricting property tax growth, my own state limits it to the lesser of inflation or 5%. It's the lack of building that pushed prices so high that selling only makes sense to leave the state.
If any of that were actually true, postfix/revers polish notation would be more popular. Math has it's own languages with all the same problems every language has.
