a president cannot pardon or commute state crimes. most states have crimes against violence

or Evan Gershkovich. St Pete was a wonderful city to visit before the 2014 invasion, now I think it's too risky

Disagree. I thought there's a part in the story where the narrator talks about the inability to change the future. she knew her daughter would die in a fall and couldn't change it

what is "unused PTO" - I thought every company was now on the unlimited/zero PTO model

an acquisition

or just pass a bill

interesting, thanks. for related reference, this year in Minneapolis some residents sued their city and showed that it had too few police officers. The ratio of police officers to residents is right there in the charter. A county judge ruled for the plaintiffs last month https://kstp.com/news/hennepin-county-rules-minneapolis-must...

I used to watch Newshour most nights but since last summer I've quit. too many stories are unbearably biased. and Mr Capehart is a poor substitute for Mr Shields on Fridays. The former is so predictable, why watch

in the southwest US there is plenty of interaction between Hispanics and non-Hispanics in Catholic churches

but the government isn't paying YouTube to host videos. eminent domain and related takings require compensation

practicing the 'marketplace of ideas' led to the single most important idea/practice/accomplishment in history - the constitution of knowledge. just read jonathan rauch's new book. sure there are threats to this way of learning and understanding, and it isn't perfect. but it's the best we have, and it has not been debunked

interesting, I've been using the app for years now and I never thought of those features. I like the app, I prefer it over the free Amazon app (where I also buy music!). Amazon consistently bombards you with music you can STREAM, which means buying their subscription

several million people died in the famine during the initial forced collectivization in Ukraine and other soviet states. Walter Duranty, an American reporter lied to the West about the extent of the famines and added to many elites' delusions about soviet communism. this isn't propaganda, it's history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Duranty

I agree, I had to right click and unselect "Loop" just so I could read the nearby text.

Also, the "Why Flat Data" section feels like it was written by a someone trying to win a high school essay contest - it's full of unnecessary language. I would have an easier time understanding without the awkward metaphors, exclamation points, and over-casual language like "cool"

the WSJ piece mentions fake comments on both sides (paywall..) https://www.wsj.com/articles/fccs-net-neutrality-proposal-ma...

"Investigators also found 9.3 million comments supporting net neutrality that used fictitious identities, most submitted by one California college student majoring in computer science."

fake news, show us proof, don't just believe what you hear. it's still easier to vote in GA than TX, which doesn't allow no-excuse absentee ballots. is getting a free ID such a burden?

legally platforms are often not accountable for what users upload (sec 230), but over the past several years journalists and politicians have been demanding that platforms remove content that said journo-politicians don't like, so in a sense the platforms are made to be accountable - do it or else regulation

FDA still hasn't authorized the AZ vaccine

a better idea - tell Trump he can have his Facebook back if he agrees to go on talk radio and cable news and tell his supporters that he was lying to them all along, there is no evidence of meaningful voter fraud, and it's time to move on. only when enough of the supporters are finally convinced of this can he have his account back (or 6 months, whichever is greater)
