I agree. The right to a speedy trial not being observed is an issue.

This is only local jails, which makes sense as people are waiting trial then move on to long term prison.

This is surprisingly low. If the average family put all their expenses on a card and pays it off every month it won’t be far off this.

What is the average amount that people are actually paying interest on?

The increase should be capped at inflation. Currently mine go up 10% every year. I pay more in tax than I ever paid in rent. I’ll have to buy a tent in another decade at this rate.

This is why voting needs to be really easy. If a phone app/website is good enough for banking, it is good enough for voting.

I’d like to see ‘tip’ and ‘gratuity’ legally protected as terms. So if it says ‘tip’ it must 100% go to the servers only. Very few do like they used to.

Newark airport self service tills ask for a tip.

That problem happened because there was no way to travel from town to town quickly so if the clocks were off nobody cared. The trains changed that.

Cows kills more people each year than sharks.

I mean when did you ever here of a cow killing a shark.

Consider a site like arstechnica. Just tech news, less depressing crap.

And there is a service fee!

It happened to me at the urologist. They were taking the piss!

Maybe we need a minimum amount of published information before a candidate can run.

There are people who are running (and winning) locally that I can’t even find a single source about online. Usually the likes of judges, commissioners, school boards etc.

At what point can you tax deduct your phone as a business expense?

In the short term it really helps productivity, but in the end the reward for working faster is more work. Just doing the hard parts all day is going to burn developers out.

This leads to weird bugs when you change indentation and miss a line or reorder lines. The logic changes. Not too bad when you’re on your own, as Python seems to be intended for. Add multiple developers and git merges and it is a recipe for disaster. With end tags at least you just end up with poorly formatted working code.

Unless you live in a handful of swing or proportional electoral college states this is the correct thing to do. If my vote swung it for Biden in my deep red state then he’d statistically already have 90% of the electoral votes.

If we ever have a popular vote for president I’ll change this.

I’ll still vote though for the down ballot races I may effect.

I fear the change from monthly to annual only subscriptions is on the horizon

When will this stop!

I’d love to see some stats on how many people use please and thank you in prompts.
