I'm less concerned with Trump voters (more or less the same people keep voting for him), and more with why ~10 million people didn't vote for his opponent (who had voted for her predecessor).
I don't believe it had anything to do with the price of eggs, either. That was presented as the primary reason, and it's so clearly wrong that it makes me suspicious.
They’ve functionally done a fuck ton while not knee capping the economy at the same time. The IRA injected a massive amount of funds into environmentally friendly technology and infrastructure. Half my street put up solar in the past 2 years because of these subsidies.
The Republicans are looking at bringing back coal mining. You’re just completely incorrect in your classification of both parties being as bad on the environment unless your bucket is so broad as to be meaningless for use in comparing two organizations
I'm really puzzled how you claim to this conclusion. The positions and policies of the last two Democratic administrations are pretty well-known. They are trivially googlable. Or you can ask AI to summarize them for you. Off the top of my head, without going to Google I can think of Obama's CAFE standards and Biden's Inflation Reduction Act.
When multiple independent research groups show that the impact of implementing these policies show significant reduction in projected greenhouse gas emissions and rolling them back shows the opposite effect, how do you make the claim that they are "functionally the same"? And I don't even count the soft power - one side consistently claims that climate change is a hoax and the other side consistently takes it seriously.
I don't understand this at all. I could get behind an "enlightened centrist" position when it comes to foreign policy in the Middle East. But environmental policy?
Who is the preeminent manufacturer of solar PV and electric vehicles in the world?
How is our charging infrastructure compared to say Europe's?
Considering we've had the technology for almost 30 years now, why isn't practically every consumer vehicle a phev?
I'm not going to believe any projected carbon emissions. I'm going to believe real carbon emissions that get measured. Hey, guess what? They are still going up.
I get that they were solar subsidies, but it's my strong opinion that there should have been unrefusable subsidies for home solar. I get so sick of the utility people complaining about how hard it's going to be to adapt the grid to alternative energy. Yet in the same time they bad mouth home solar which basically alleviates grid load.
There still is no effective policy implementations on reducing sprawl, except that which simply resists building housing in general.
And while I generally think nuclear energy isn't really an effective solution for clean energy, it should still be aggressively researched, although I think they should be chasing lftrs like China is.
You can say a lot of these are simply politically infeasible. That speaks more to the nature of the Democrats being a corporatist party than anything. a lot of these policies, especially ones around alternative energy and transport electrification which would functionally drop the price of energy and transportation, a key driver to economic growth in the long term, should have been a strong sell overall to the business lobby in general.
I'm not going to disagree that the only place that you're going to get some environmental progress is the Democratic party.
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
Likely just napkin math of “I watch about one game every week, that’s roughly 50 games per year, so over the course of 12 years i should be around 600 games”
I pay people globally through HSBC all the time. Works instantly.
I never understand this argument anyway. If you can't send funds instantly that isn't because the currently itself can't be transferred instantly - it's because for whatever reason you don't have access to a provider that will provide that service. That's a separate problem and can be solved without having to build an entirely new currency / financial system.
This is how the Taiwan exchange used to do matching, and I still think it's the best system I've seen.
I don't think the reason has anything to do with price discovery, it's just because exchanges want to maximise their trading fees. Continuous order book trading leads to more trades and hence more profit for the exchange.
They also charge differently (extortionately, some might say) for different speeds of data feed, although I'm not sure if they have tiers just for HFTs.
What now? I'm sure you are going to say that they settled because they were innocent, right? And that they halted trades 'by mistake', not on a purpose
OP didn't say they engaged in no activity, they just didn't know why they got banned. OP probably did/said all sorts of things that would have justified it.
Anyway I've never felt it's a requirement to have a LinkedIn profile to get hired as a developer, so the post as a whole is strange to me.
> OP probably did/said all sorts of things that would have justified it.
Why do you think this? Misguided/buggy/flawed algorithmic bans seem quite commonplace these days, and increasingly companies have too few humans to even respond to the actual inquiries that result from them, much less review every instance of it happening.
There’s just no way to know why OP got kicked out. The point is, we can’t assume it’s evil corporation at it again, because we don’t know what happened.
> OP didn't say they engaged in no activity, they just didn't know why they got banned. OP probably did/said all sorts of things that would have justified it.
It's possible, but I felt like voicing the general concern regardless because at least some of these random permaban stories seem to be true.
You can check to which google cloud location you connect and see the latency, by opening the settings side bar on the main page and have a look at the bottom.
