I think it was 1986, as in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. [1]

> That way build sympathy for the law-breakers, then legitimize them via immigration reforms that only benefit the illegals

it was noted "The legalization provisions in this act will go far to improve the lives of a class of individuals who now must hide in the shadows, without access to many of the benefits of a free and open society. Very soon many of these men and women will be able to step into the sunlight and, ultimately, if they choose, they may become Americans"

as mentioned in the chained CPI FAQ, "The C-CPI-U employs a formula that reflects the effect of substitution that consumers make across item categories in response to changes in relative prices."

I think the M2 chips use on-chip LPDDR5. is it a 6400MT/s LPDDR5 stick for that price or a 2133 MT/s SO-DIMM?

do batteries wear out in the lifetime of a rental car? I would think the batteries have a lifetime of at least 10 years whereas a rental agency only keeps the car for <4 years.

when your $2000 TV breaks in 1985, you get it repaired because the current models cost just as much and are basically indistinguishable.

when your $400 TV breaks in 2022, you buy a new one because its relatively inexpensive and you can get a larger one for the same price.

> I cannot collaborate unless I get my hands back on ...( Apple id which is even more complicated) it stops being a collaborative software.

getting an Apple id doesn't require apple hardware and most of the tools are available via icloud.com. if an apple id prevents something from being a collaborative tool then google docs, Microsoft 365, Slack, et al are not collaborative tools.

> You might think one protest was more justified than another, but the differential in response works to dissolve confidence in the fair application of the law.

in 2018, the capitol was open to the public, no one broke in. 78 were arrested in the Capitol on Oct 5, 2018 and charged with Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding [1].

in 2022, the Capitol was closed to the public and people broke in. 12 people were arrested on Jan 6, 2021 and charged with Unlawful Entry or Assaulting a Police Officer [2].

Assaulting a Police Office is a felony; Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding is a misdemeanor. Seems there was a differential in severity of breaking the law as well.

For details, there are at least 2 issues with the FTC.

in 2011 there was a settlement about Failure to Safeguard Personal Information [1].

"Under the terms of the settlement, Twitter will be barred for 20 years from misleading consumers about the extent to which it protects the security, privacy, and confidentiality of nonpublic consumer information, including the measures it takes to prevent unauthorized access to nonpublic information and honor the privacy choices made by consumers.

Then in 2022 FTC charged Twitter for using account security data for targeted advertising. They have a $150M fine and some other conditions [2].

hasn't this always happened with internal connectors? SATA rev 1 (1.5Gbps, 2003) used the same connector as SATA rev2 (3Gbps, 2004) & SATA rev 3 (6Gbps, 2009) so drives and motherboards plugged together and operated but at the slowest common speed between them.

is USB-C somehow different that people expect Thunderbolt 3 (Dec 2015) using a connector introduced in Aug 2014 on a 12" Macbook announced in March 2015?

you said "Full employment of a smaller labor force". its not a smaller labor force. its a larger labor force as the number of employees is at an all-time high.

> Full employment of a smaller labor force,

the civilian labor force is higher than ever. as of Sept 2022, 153M non-farm workers [1], 130M private employees [2].

its time for the California City Development Company to shine. It's already the 3rd largest city in the state so surely they can adequately handle the population growth with current infrastructure.

> The link you posted supports the GP’s assertion that not declaring the current economic situation as a recession is politically motivated.

1/5 indicators shows significant decline (real GDP) I'll give you. but 1/5 is slight decline (real income 1% down), the other 3 (employment, industrial production, retail sales) are up. this is based on data available from FRED, do you have data showing otherwise?

links at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33032470#33036403

> "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months,

> real GDP

> real income

real income is down ~1% since Sept 2020 or Sept 2021 [1]. hardly seems like a "significant decline".

> employment

employment has increased since Sept 2020 or Sept 2021 [2] and infact has been steadily increasing since April 2020.

> industrial production

industrial production has increased since Sept 2020 or Sept 2021 [3] and infact has been steadily increasing since April 2020.

> wholesale-retail sales

retail sales has increased since Sept 2020 or Sept 2021 [4] and infact has been steadily increasing since April 2020.

so 1 of 5 indicators shows significant decline, 1 shows minor decline, 3 show increase.

> It seems that Alder Lake no longer support x8/x4/x4 sadly.

Sort of. support is "Up to 1x16+4, 2x8+4" [1] so could be used as x8/x4/x4, the remaining 4 lanes are unused in the x8, as there are 20 PCIe lanes on the CPU.

> This is DP pass-through, there's no DisplayLink or similar involved.

is it, or is there a re-driver? also, there are 4 high-speed lines in USB-C; 2 are used for USB3 so the other 2 are for DP-HDMI convertor and DP connector. seems like only 1 of HDMI or DP should work at 1 time.

anyways, this is not an issue with USB but an issue with the dock behavior.

this is easiest to see in things like public education where a Master's degree will net you an additional $1200 stipend [1] though it costs ~20k to earn that Masters[2].

2020 Proposition 15 was to require commercial and industrial properties, except those zoned as commercial agriculture, to be taxed based on their market value, rather than their purchase price. it failed 52 / 48.

doesnt §4.6 of the USB-C spec show the precedence of power source usage? I.E. there is no 10W option, just 3A, 1.5A, 0.9A, 0.5A at 5V or 15W, 7.5W, 4.5W, or 2.5W. so then your 15W port turns into 2x 7.5W ports or 3x 5W ports. I dont know if you can count on the upstream port being 15W. if its 7.5W do you do 4.5+2.5W and 3x 2.5W?

also, I've found that no one obeys the current limit for inrush so now your downstream ports have to allow 7.5+W until they enumerate and you can lower the current limit.

additionally, people are complaining about not being able to tell cables apart. can they tell the power requirements and calculate how much power a combination of devices requires?

> I also think there is public support for gay an interracial marriage today in a way that there never was for Roe and later Casey.

48% support abortion under certain circumstances, 32% for any circumstance. so ~80% support allowing abortion. [1]

94% support interracial marriage. [2]

70% support same-sex marriage. [3]
