What about the article is flamebait?

> The people who by their own actions and choices ruined America's inner cities have never been held accountable.
Who are these people?

I think a similar situation you can look into is the sanctions on Carrie Lam. While they are sanctions instead of a lawsuit, they did result in her losing access to all banking facilities in HK and China regardless of the fact they probably didn't think she didn't anything wrong. I think for most countries, keeping their banks working trumps almost all other considerations.

Why do you believe that the anti-meat lobby has more sway in society than the meat lobby?

I haven't used it, but I know that Coalton adds static typing to Common Lisp, might be something you're interested in.

I think that there was a sense that WotC was going to do something special for Magic's 30th anniversary - something for the community at large. Instead, they released a mediocre, $1000 product.

>how long would it take for any other car maker to ship steam games and have 60 fps gaming on the car.
I'm still young, but hearing about this kind of feature makes me feel like a luddite. I just don't get it. Is it so passengers can play while you're driving, or just to play while the car is charging/you're waiting somewhere?

This is the case for me as well. I was learning Common Lisp for fun, and I loved it, but macros never clicked for me. I could understand how they're powerful, but I never developed a sense for when using a macro would make things easier. Probably just not enough time with the language.

On Wednesday, the networking platform released its annual Top Companies list identifying the 50 best places in the U.S. for professionals to grow their careers. Amazon ranked No. 1 on the list, followed by Alphabet (Google’s parent company) and Wells Fargo.
From the LinkedIn article:
LinkedIn Top Companies is a ranking of the 50 companies that are investing in their talent and helping people build careers that will set them up for long-term success.
Our 2022 LinkedIn Top Companies list is the 6th annual ranking of the 50 best workplaces to grow your career, all based on unique LinkedIn data. These are the companies that are offering stability in our ever-changing world of work — the ones that are not only attracting workers, but retaining them.
And this survey has nothing to do with quality of environment. This list, and the accompanying article, are completely meaningless.

Just take a look at Canadian legal market. The grey market always outperforms it and many have begun shunning the expensive legal weed.
This is not true, the opposite is happening. Illegal market share continues to decline, with 63% of people reporting buying from legal outfits in 2021, versus 43% in 2019.

Yeah, they're probably working some gruelling 996 schedule, I guess we'll all need to go back to accepting 12 hours a day, 6 days a week to compete.

> After the advent of iTunes and Spotify, labels often argued that downloads and streams should be counted as sales.
I'm guessing this is still the case for many artists. How can they argue this at all? Who is the sale to? I doubt the record labels would say that I purchased a song after listening to it on a streaming service.
My migraines follow a very regular schedule. I wake up and just know that I will have a migraine. It's like a nagging thought. Worse after days of poor/little sleep, or days where the temperature changes dramatically, or if there is a big storm. At around 14:00 the pain grows in intensity, I feel nauseous and uncoordinated, very sensitive to light. Lying in a dark room and listening to a podcast/YouTube video is the best way to get through this period, I can get to the edge of sleep and it makes it easier. At around 20:00 the pain has usually mostly subsided, and by 22:00 I'm pain free but exhausted.
I tried a few prescription medications after talking with a doctor, but they didn't have much of an effect, so I just accepted that once every 1/2 weeks I would have to deal with it. Whenever I would read about migraines online, I would feel relieved, because mine seemed so much more mild. No aura, the pain is usually gone within a day, and if I needed to be out and about I could manage, even though it was painful.
About 5 years ago an ex-partner offered me a Bufferin (Aspirin mix), and right away it helped with the symptoms. Read into it and saw a study that suggested some people respond well to high-doses of aspirin and caffeine for migraine relief. It worked exceptionally well for me. 9/10 migraines knocked out immediately, with the rest being substantially reduced in length and intensity. I get maybe 1 migraine a year now that is truly bad.
Recently talked to a new doctor who prescribed me propanolol (he was afraid about the high dose of aspirin on my stomach), and it's been just as good.
I just feel fortunate to have easy access to migraine relief, and I hope that others are able to find something that works for them as well.
