That's why Japan and Germany are some of the worst places to live in the world. Oh wait, I had that quality of life chart upside down.

Those people mostly use Whatsapp or similar at this point. Much cheaper and better quality.

Bottom of the paper, in the appendix. Don't expect much. They only got fragments of text with a lot of missing words.

The fact that this even needs to exist means that our academic conferences aren't prioritizing the right things. Papers without code should be desk rejected.

False. Trump's EO, if anything, helps Infosys since the new systems (level lottery) are very easy to game

Of course. Nobody has any agency except British, American and Israeli people.

Every protest, every independent action, literally every single news story ... is directly due to British, American or Israeli action.

> Participants who switched from the chronological to the algorithmic feed prioritized a conservative policy agenda over a liberal one by 0.11 s.d., compared with those who remained on the chronological feed (95% CI: 0.02, 0.20; P = 0.016). The experiment also influenced views on the criminal investigations into Trump: those who switched to the algorithmic feed were 0.08 s.d. more likely to consider them completely unacceptable (95% CI: 0.01, 0.16; P = 0.026). This effect is larger and more precisely estimated for aspects of this belief held by a smaller share of participants in the control group (as shown in Supplementary Information Fig. 2.4), indicating that the effect is concentrated among more loyal Trump supporters. Regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, for participants initially on the chronological feed, exposure to the algorithmic feed increased pro-Kremlin attitudes by 0.12 s.d. (95% CI: 0.03, 0.21; P = 0.007).

The tax benefits are sorta oversold.

The main benefits are tax free gifts between partners and filing jointly, both of which seem very reasonable and wouldn't be of value to single people.

The actual tax breaks most people think about are tied to dependents in your household, not marriage.

What unjust "advantages" do you think childless couples get that you would want to get rid?

Pretty much all of the legal benefits of marriage are contractual, not financial, and come at no cost to the public.

Things like spousal medical rights, a joint estate, etc don't come at the expense of anybody else.

It's not really possible to do that when the opposing beliefs are so fundamental. Mozilla had, and has, a lot of LGBT staff.

How could you expect those staff to work under and trust a CEO opposed to their very existence as equal members of society?

Immigration isn't the issue. Population growth is actually down compared to historical levels. Immigration numbers (and births) are lower than they have ever been and housing costs are higher than they have ever been.

I was talking about renters moving out of larger apartments or shared homes into 1/2 bedroom apartments.

Middle class homeownership is basically dead in California due to the absurd price of housing. Almost everyone young who didn't inherit wealth or earn 90th percentile income is renting

What middle class SFHs? There are no middle class SFH neighborhoods remaining in Los Angeles or the Bay Area. Take a look at Zillow. Your average young person isn't buying anything anyways.

Your information is at least two decades, maybe three, out of date.

But this bill will help lower rents, which is a very worthy goal in and of itself.
