I'm starting to believe that cities should only have enumerated rights. Federal government -- enumerated rights. State government -- unenumerated rights. Local governments -- enumerated rights. City governments seem too prone to abusing whatever powers they are given.
I was homeschooled K-12 and loved it. I never had to spend more than 2-3hrs a day doing school work (but would often spend time on my own projects).
The biggest benefit I think is the customization you can give your children. Do they like math? If so, you can let them run free doing algebra to their hearts content. You can get them more advanced curriculum. On the other hand, I struggled putting my thoughts on paper. While this would have likely held me back in school, my parents just let it go. For whatever reason, once I hit my teen years, it just was not a problem any more.
Another really great benefit was being able to travel during the school year. We could go to all of the local museums and attractions while other kids were in school. And we were also plugged into local homeschooling groups so we still got to do things like field trips and sports. Overall, if you have a parent who is excited and willing to do it, I think you'll find it is a positive experience.
You'll find that DVD's are nearly twice as expensive as DVD's in the US. Streaming services are extremely limited and even more expensive than DVD.
Definitely agree DVDs are way more expensive there. Although, for rental it seems like both streaming and DVD rental are about $5-6AUD.
Again, I'm wondering what Australia you're talking about here. 2nd hand sales are perfectly legal, I can sell my entire DVD collection, I can even sell my Steam account, hell unlike the US grey importers operate openly and legally in Australia. I can buy a pallet of DVD's in China and sell them to Australian customers with no problems (well I have to pay tax on my sales, like all businesses). Only certain products are prohibited from resale such as even tickets (to crack down on scalpers), sensitive technologies (I.E. military tech) and perishable goods. I can put a half bottle of Vodka up on Gumtree if I wanted to, the only restriction I have is that I cant sell it to minors (the drinking age is 18 over here).
You cannot, however, rent your DVD collection in Australia. That's what I am referring to.
If you go to other countries where the first sale doctrine doesn't apply (like Australia) you'll find the DVD and Streaming rental prices are about the same. I think the reason you see such a discrepancy here in the USA, is that once a company buys a DVD the copyright owner can no longer control its use. With a streaming rental, it is considered distribution and they do require licensing.
The eclipse "export" to gradle function barely works. Importing an eclipse project into Android Studio doesn't really work either. If you create a build.gradle file, that gets you further along, but things in Android Studio still behave funny especially with identifying the "modules." In the end, if you're looking at migrating I strongly recommend just creating a new project and copying your source and resource files into the latest android file structure and gradle build system.
If you think the code needs to be refactored, come up with a plan and a proposal to do that.
It could be this individual is well respect for their ability to come up with ideas and realize through prototypes and not necessarily create long-term maintainable code.
"no bank or bitcoin-emitter can be as public-minded as a government"?? Hahaha.. is that a joke? The government is hardly "public-minded." The government is just self-interested as any other entity plus they have a monopoly on violent force..
They will just stop working or never become CEOs.. or start their own companies instead and get paid in equity.. it would be devastatingly stupid to cap CEO pay.
If you haven't, you should read Isaiah Berlin's "Two Concepts of Liberty." He lays the case out for liberty from government interference extremely well.
"Here I encounter the most popular fallacy of our times. It is not considered sufficient that the law should be just; it must be philanthropic. Nor is it sufficient that the law should guarantee to every citizen the free and inoffensive use of his faculties for physical, intellectual, and moral self-improvement. Instead, it is demanded that the law should directly extend welfare, education, and morality throughout the nation." Frederic Bastiat
Here is my recommendation. If you want a party of Justice focus on making the law just and avoid making it philanthropic. You'll never have both.
I hate it when countries make stuff for us for free or below cost. Maybe we should punish them buy sending them some free/discounted stuff. I'm sure that will teach them a lesson they won't soon forget.
Note the GAO says it will save the GOVERNMENT billions of dollars. Ask yourself.. how is that possible?
Here is how it is possible. The GAO is projecting that the dollar coins will be stored in jars -- exactly because they are undesirable.
So here is how it makes the government money. Treasury creates coin. The treasury deposits coin with federal reserve effectively buying coin for $1 (treasury makes 98 cent profit or so), Coin is distributed to a bank, a bank gives a business, business gives it to a customer.. customer throws it in a jar for several years. Tada. The US government just made a dollar, hey, hey.
The cost of things goes down all the time. Look no further than the computer you are typing on.
If you adjust for inflation, you have to work to find examples of things that have increased in price.
If the cost goes down, supply at the previous price goes up (increase profits!). The increase in supply will cause the supply and demand curves to shift, and then you have a lower price.
Of course, this never works for insurance because humans are programmed for risk. So if you make the car safer, you make the human more risky -- risk homeostasis.
So here is the argument I've heard against HFTs: in most circumstances the buyer and seller would have found each and exchanged peer-to-peer less than a second later if the HFT didn't see the order and intercept it first.
This seems to be backed up by the fact they seem to purchase special data feeds from the market that gives them an earlier peek at the data than everyone else. When an HFT works between different exchanges to execute a trade, I can't see why anyone would see a downside.
If you ever want a phone call, strip telephone wire with your teeth. Someone will call, %100 guaranteed, and it will hurt. And whoever is in charge of making sure phone calls arrive when you strip wire with your teeth, does laugh. I swear the phone company has a "tooth" detection circuit and a list of friends to have call you when tooth contact is detected.
Before TSA: *Passenger seeing man attempt to ignite shoes* Hello kind sir.. I see you're trying to ignite an IED.. can I be of any assistance? I am so happy after not being groped by the TSA.

I'm not seeing any correlation in the data

If you want to mix projects you have to use IntellJ with the "Android-plugin" instead of Android Studio.
You could get Crashplan or Backblaze and back it all up for between $4 and $5 a month.

OK.. in the real world name examples where "predatory" pricing has been effective.. go ahead.. start now..
And then.. someone new enters the market.. and consumers got great deals on the cars at the expense of the "Evil Car Corporation"
That worked really well with Rare Earth Metals..

Is there some value-add step I am missing there?
You must extract an IAP file for no reason at all, locate two windows binaries, and execute them... hmm.. sounds like a non-story to me.
