The problem with science today is that the results depend upon which political party the scientist belongs to, because we've turned science into an exercise in confirmation bias.

The light from LEDs 200km away will arrive later than light from LEDs 50km away. You can blink them all you want, but if you synchronize street lights for an observatory at one location, those lights will not be synchronized for an observatory at another location.
Also, LEDs are diodes. They also happen to be diodes with enormous junction capacitance, which means they cannot switch on and off very fast. Observatories need incredibly long exposures. If the shutter has to be closed 50% of the time to allow LEDs to turn off within a 200km radius, observation becomes impractical.
Solving the problem of Byzantine government starts, not ends, with getting rid of the people who made it that way, and the system that helps them do it.
Yes, it will hurt, but that doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.
The executor of her Estate has already sued to keep her in office.
This is typical of politicians - power hungry, self-serving assholes who will cling to power until their very last breath. She is a shining example of why we need term limits.
Remember that there are two factions to the "party of small government."
The one faction wants small government that leaves more decisions to state and local governments, lower taxes, etc etc etc. The other faction wants a small government because a dictatorship doesn't need to be large.
Yes, of course it was just blown off course. China would never, ever intentionally send a spy balloon over the United States, and it would definitely never have it linger for hours and hours over military installations, missile silo farms, or other places we wouldn't want people to spy on. No, hell no, China would never ever do that.
It's economical compared to the total cost of fossil fuel generation, when you consider the real cost of climate change.
Tuition started skyrocketing in the 90s when schools discovered that the Federal Government would guarantee loans way larger than the actual cost of attendance. The profitable thing to do was to increase the cost of attendance to that which the government would subsidize loans for.
The Federal Government responded to this by increasing, by a large margin, the amount it would approve loans for, to compensate for the "skyrocketing" cost of attendance.
Rinse. Repeat. The Democrats have a new Boogeyman, and the Republicans have a new "most-favored" cabal of wealthy donors. Everyone wins. Except students.
Dammit Beavis, yet another project leaves out support for Tandy CGA/EGA!
The sky is falling!!!
No wait, AirBnB hosts are simply going to have to follow the same laws as hotels, hostels, and other short-term rental providers in the city.
That means collecting the hotel tax, getting licenses and insurance, and meeting minimum health and safety standards.

The AG is too busy counting his money
SBF must have done something to upset the ruling class, as they apparently rejected his application for admission to the oligarchy. He did everything right. He stole money from the everyman, funneled it upwards into his own pockets, and lied to everyone about it. It's textbook oligarch.
I wonder why they did not accept him. Perhaps he was not making the "right" political contributions or something.
Jobs are meaningless because life has become meaningless. Instead of trying to live full, enriching lives, we have been herded like cattle into money-making schemes designed to enrich the privileged few.
When you exist solely to make someone else rich, your life becomes meaningless, and along with it, everything you do with it.
