Re: Google Domains Review – What is it? How Does it Work and How Does it Compare?

David Sanger — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 14:40:17 -0000

Another minor point is that if you are California based then Google charges sales tax on the domain registration which adds another 7.25-10%

Even your headline does damage. Don't accept the oppositon's framing. Talk about her policy and stop repeating negative memes, even if you are making fun of them. And read Lakoff on framing.

Re: Is the Emoluments Clause the Key to Finally Seeing Trump’s Tax Returns?

David Sanger — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 15:56:44 -0000

If foreign payments re made to a Trump-owned business then Trump's personal tax return might only show income from the business. It seems you'd have to see all the returns of his multi-layered businesses to confirm the money trail.

Re: US Attorneys to Michael Cohen: You’re hardly a lawyer

David Sanger — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:24:29 -0000

Form what I hear of the difficulty of getting the search warrants and the level of convincing detail they would have needed to gather over time, I'd guess the investigation into Cohen began a long time before the Stormy Daniels issue became known.

There already was his purported meeting in the Czech Republic and numerous other items that could have caught their attention. Plus the NY office could have been looking into his real estate and taxi medallion businesses

His health is a big uncertainty. Overweight, lack of excercise, bad diet may force the issue.

Re: Proposed El Cerrito housing with 10 affordable units meets opposition from locals

yes indeed "The facts are just the opposite: housing people in the Bay Area requires less new infrastructure and generates less automobile use than housing them in the central valley"

the issue is that the feds don't want the states to be deciding immigration issues, such as which category of legal residents get which privileges.

Re: Theocracy Alert (Guess Which Party Edition)

David Sanger — Fri, 09 Mar 2018 21:24:31 -0000

This makes no sense at all. What about banning the federal government from taking any action against individuals who want to discriminate against interracial marriage, or against women, or against Catholics or Jews or Muslims, or against people who don't want to pay taxes, based on “a sincerely held religious belief"?

Sounds to me a lot like a law "respecting an establishment of religion", and thoroughly unconstitutional.

Re: These tools will help you find the right images for your stories

David Sanger — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 11:43:30 -0000

Why does it not occur to you that you can actually pay for stock photos? Photographers do actually need to make a living, as do digital journalists. There are dozens of excellent stock agencies out there you can use, from high end Getty Images to the extensive collection at Alamy to low end micro stock sites like Shutterstock. This way you an get a a far better selection of images without the dubious provenance of "free" sites.

I think this is inevitable with the introduction of any new technology. There are always going to be unexpected consequences both good and bad. It will take many of these recommendations to sort out the way forward. But that does not mean that Google or Facebook or the very large platforms are evil in any way. Just that we need to learn how to use them wisely as a society and avoid the negative side effects that we now realize can be so harmful
