They are $12/year, right now. (Non-premium.)

>I have taken it for granted that you know that the reason the UK refuses to decolonise the Chagos Islands is to provide an airbase for the US military on Diego Garcia.

Speaking as someone who would love to see Silicon Valley dissolve and its firms relocate throughout the US, I wholeheartedly support this.

Very cool!

Language is a product of time and place. What about text that wasn't "hateful" at the time it was written, but now is questionable?

Is it just my imagination or has there been a major uptick in layoffs lately?

Maybe add the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England to this list [0]

I'd say it already is.

As always, such shortages are largely contrived. If you aren't finding the talent you want, you need to raise the salary that you're offering. Per Stack Overflow's salary survey, the median Chicago full stack dev with a bachelors and 5 years experience only makes $90K per year.

Did they not have an identical cohort serving as a control to compare employment rates at the end of the trial?

At least in my case, I didn't need to continue with the monthly blood work once my optimum level was found. Also I fortunately never experienced the nausea you mention but did experience tremors occasionally at the beginning, when trying to find the right level. Too high and they would begin to manifest.

Yes and I believe that nasal administration is either under FDA review or active development.

Edit: For anyone suffering from suicidal ideation, I recommend trying lithium (in close consultation with your doctor).

Except you end up getting equally naive journalists pushing equally naive articles analyzing the 1%, and equally naive academics doing the same, and the ultimate effect is that there's very little data and very little analysis on, for example, the 0.01%. And people like Bernie Sanders, for example, seem loathe to talk about them too. I imagine that people don't like to talk about them because of how powerful they are. And so all this talk about the 1% is actually a very useful smokescreen for the <0.01%.

Compared to the 0.1% or, heaven forbid, the 0.01%, the 1% is downright poor. Why the focus on the 1%?

Also, no focus on wealth inequality in this article, which is arguably much more significant than income inequality.

> violent

I think the intent here was to have the fentanyl put the assailants to sleep. Granted, it went horribly wrong. But violent isn't how I would describe the intent.

According to whom and on what basis? Their standards for publication seem to be low, AFAICT [1] [2].

Enrolling in the school ostensibly isn't illegal per se.

If you're committing visa fraud you're no longer undocumented and you are indeed there illegally.

Where do the limits that are supposed to govern the behavior of a democratically elected politician come from? I will tell you. They must either come from law, or from ethical philosophy that has been reified, for lack of a better word, by the state into law. For this to be so, one of two things must have happened. Either the state imposed these restrictions with disregard to the will of people, or they were imposed in accordance with the will of the people. If the former, they are illegitimate. If the latter, they are arbitrary (the product of a particular people at a particular time) and therefore subject to change.

Surely the best measure of whether a politician speaks for the people is whether he or she is elected. In which case assuming the politician attempts to follow through on his or her campaign promises, that politician would not be a populist. (Of course, this assumes that there is such a thing as "the people".)

>“With many democratic institutions under threat across the globe — often by leaders with authoritarian or populist tendencies — we need to do more to strengthen checks and balances and protect citizens’ rights,” said Patricia Moreira, managing director of Transparency International in a press statement.

So a politician responding to what the "populace" (i.e. the demos) wants ("populism") is a threat to democracy. Hmm.

Works on my local :)

We also tend to overlook the US government's own propaganda efforts, via the Smith Mundt Modernization Act.

They want to offer anonymous communication but still demand to know my employer and personal identity. How about no?

What is Blind? Went to blind.com and didn't seem to be what you were referring to.

Can someone archive these?

Garbage journalism to cite anonymous internet commenters and then also fail to mention that China's Communist Party liberally uses internet shills to manipulate public opinion.

>A 2016 Harvard University paper found that in contrast to common assumptions, Chinese Internet commentators are mostly paid government bureaucrats, responding to government directives in times of crisis, and flood Chinese social media with pro-government comments. They also rarely engage in direct arguments, and around 80% of the analysed posts involve pro-China cheerleading with inspirational slogans, and 13% involve general praise and suggestions on governmental policies.
