The largest amount of trouble in both neighborhoods is caused by people with nothing to do. In the rough neighborhood it was the teens and young adults suffering 20% unemployment, and in the white suburb it is the teens and college kids living with mom and dad.
You're missing an important point: lack of income means inability to pursue interests. Give people money, they'll spend it doing things they enjoy, which means that they will have things to do.
No, extroverts aren't happier than introverts. You could say, in general, that they're happier in social settings, but they're also less happy in solitude and one-on-one encounters. One could look at it like this: introverts are better at finding happiness within themselves, whereas extroverts need validation from outside sources.
Honestly, the latency doesn't bother me unless I'm recording. If I'm recording, it's completely unworkable.
I looked at the QC35, but decided on the truer audio response of the 1000x. There's no latency when you use them wired, and they're closed back (meaning no bleed-through like with an open or semi-open back like the K240), so they work well for tracking.
Yeah, over-the-ear all the way. Point taken. I'm lucky enough to have a job where that's kosher. And for the music production stuff I do, you don't want to use anything else (other than when you're testing you final mix on a variety of speakers).
... do it the right way and come to the table prepared to abandon the hysteria and alarmism and actually deal in good faith...
There was a lot of hysteria and alarmism when Obama put these rules in place, about consequences which never came to pass. Scrapping them now is the height of acting in bad faith.
In a northern city that gets lots of snow, shutting down the transportation system every time it snows is a non-starter. In the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area, we have 3.5 million people, which means upwards of a million cars on the road daily. Accidents more serious than a fender bender are rare on snow days. It's not at all clear to me that autonomous vehicles will be able to do as well in such conditions any time soon.
When there's enough snow (which there is for weeks at a time in places like Minnesota), the mapped lanes don't always correspond with the effective lanes. Heck, given how much road construction there is - not to mention mapping errors - they sometimes don't correspond in ideal conditions.
As for black ice - a human with experience knows where and in what conditions black ice forms, and can compensate before they are the first one there. And given that black ice forms in many places, not just one, there are many cars that will be the first one to the black ice. I'll believe autonomous cars are up to that task when I see it tested to do so reliably.
Fellow Minnesotan here. If we didn't drive when those were the road conditions, we'd have to shut down the state for 3-4 months every year. And if a self-driving car can't handle those conditions, no one in a state that gets cold and snow will want to buy one. Being stranded on the side of the road in a blizzard can be a death sentence.
That wasn't a lie so much as a promise that wasn't within Obama's means to fulfill. Obama shouldn't have made that promise any more than I should promise that your corner store will always carry your favorite snack, but the ACA didn't require those changes. Really the only way that such a promise can be kept is if we go with a single payer system where all doctors become "in-network".
I actually find that the charge in my Sony BT headphones lasts about a week before needing to be plugged in again, and I am a heavy user. I still think the 3.5mm jack should remain standard equipment, though.
I've got both very good bluetooth headphones (Sony MDR-1000X) and very good wired headphones (AKG K240). The Sony pair cost twice as much as the AKGs. They do have noise cancelling, which is a significant addition to the cost, but they are just about top-of-the-line as far as bluetooth sound quality goes. And they do sound good. BUT... the AKGs sound much, much better, and there are much better wired headphones than those ones.
I record music, so my needs are beyond the casual user, I freely admit. But sound quality is essential for me. And another thing that's essential is instantaneous response. You simply cannot record audio using bluetooth - what you hear is half a second delayed from the actual sound, which is a deal breaker for that purpose.
What the fuck is the point of living in a balloon over another planet?
Accessing its resources, adding redundancy to the human species, making use of its orbital dynamics, etc, etc. Numerous subcategories on each.
It would be easier to access resources on Mars, and it would be much easier to establish a human-suitable habitat on Mars. "Making use of orbital dynamics" for what purpose? That's a means, not an end.
What exactly do Clinton's numbers have to do with anything at this point? Trump's numbers stand on their own at this point, and they're really bad. Especially for a sitting president in his first year in office.
That's not bias that you're describing. It's an accurate reflection of popular opinion. Bias would be something introduced by Facebook apart from that popular opinion. For example, if the opinion pieces promoted were to be even-handed, that would be a bias in Trump's favor.

Another interesting tidbit, related to your last tidbit: if you look at gun ownership by state, the highest rates by far are also rural states.
"A republic, if you can keep it." I worry we cannot.
Which was well before Obama's presidency, so the regulations he put in place had nothing to do with it. The market killed coal, not regulation.
After you tell them that cheap natural gas killed their industry.

After the first self-driving car hits black ice, it can alert the other self-driving cars and they can proceed more carefully.
And if your city has 500 places where black ice has formed?

Mars has canyons in which caves could easily be dug, which would shield pretty much all of the radiation.

The money doesn't leave the economy in any of those cases, either. It just changes hands.

No, he said "household income", not "per capita income".
