As with most things in the US, California has similar laws to the gdpr (though admittedly not as powerful), so a lot of websites are starting to change a bit in the US because of california.

Many people in the US are paid every two weeks, which means some months you’re paid more than others.

Yearly has become standard as is hourly rate, because one is useful for taxes and the other is often directly negotiated.

NASA has no control of flight paths. The FAA also doesn’t specify sonic-boom allowed flight paths. They just outright ban it (with a few exceptions) for any boom that could reach anywhere in the US.

FAA also doesn’t want to deal with people complaining about sonic booms like they did back in the 50s when this all started (they received tens of thousands of complaints) so they have an interest in making sure NASA lives up to their promises.

Yes, they would reduce the overpressure. By how much I’m not sure, but that’s part of the research.

They’re promising a perceived 75 dB level, equivalent to the volume of a dishwasher. Sonic booms are normally about 110 dB or about a jackhammer or a rock concert

And it’s not like you’d hear it all the time, just once in a while and only if you’re in the flight path.

There are many cases of people being sentenced to death wrongfully. For that reason the punishment shouldn’t exist.

I’ve been on the middle of a parking lot, in a smaller car then both my neighbors, with my bumper (on front and back) less far out than my neighbors and still got a nice $500 bumper-rub.

Being remotely close to the edge is not in your personal self interest.

The owner of the website certainly has no reason to inflate their numbers…

Just look at how the EU government works, they ended up with a very similar system, just with a parliamentary twist. It’s a bit of a natural compromise when you have a bunch of nations with their own identity coming together to form a larger body.

The value of “X” has been repeatedly downgraded. It’s estimated at around $15b by fidelity. They’ve demolished their own brand by renaming themselves and how you interact.

This is before you get into the whole “twitter has been loaded with debt from the purchase of twitter and so is even more unprofitable than it was before” part of the debacle.

Exactly! It’s a giant lie I tell you.

It’s the same as when people in the states say “Wyoming (or sometimes North dakota) doesn’t exist”

I mean, have YOU ever actually met someone from Wyoming?

I mean the creator of the movement back on reddit was literally anti-work. They went on to get interviewed on the news and made a complete fool of themselves and the people who had a much more well reasoned approach, causing a split into “work reform”/worker empowerment communities, which this one is more along the lines of.

Redditors still talk about the great digg migration that happened over a decade ago.

It’ll get less important and prevalent but for the time being let people enjoy their new toy.
