I think there should be more than one standard. "Reasonable expectation of privacy" is usually used to dismiss people's concerns about constant surveillance. Let's stop being complicit in public surveillance.
That's not true. We suspect this will eventually happen if climate emissions aren't eventually stopped or reversed. So the action is the stop or reverse climate emissions.
> By contrast, everyone who matters has agreed we should ignore whether monopolies contribute to prices, even though plenty of economic models treat tariffs and monopolies similarly.
Who? Obviously they are ignoring monopolies but I thought that was more of a quiet corruption thing.
No matter what it's a tax on your engineering team to keep it together. But the most brittle parts are always right at the seams. It's not as hard to sew together components when you can cut the cloth down to fit together. Who knows how it'll shake out.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your position, but no regulations is certainly not better than some regulations, assuming the people in government positions have the actual best interests of the country in mind. Deregulation specifically led to the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the current situation, not the existence of regulations itself.
>but no regulations is certainly not better than some regulations,
I never meant such a thing.
>assuming the people in government positions have the actual best interests of the country in mind
They don't. They care about themselves and the lobbyists paying them, and sometimes they throw you a bone to win an election.
>Deregulation specifically led to the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the current situation, not the existence of regulations itself.
Deregulation is also a form of regulation because the government is the one that removes the previous safeguards put in place via new regulations. And Clinton was the one responsible for the sub-prime mortgage deregulation.
The output is good enough for your consumption (or internal consumption) but not good or general purpose enough to sell to anyone. Like DIY projects done by a new homeowner with access to YouTube.
People have shared it here and on reddit a bunch of times because it's funny. I always found the pragmatic counter-answer about using regex and the comments about how brittle it is to parse XML properly assuming a specific structure to be much more useful.
How is it more useful? Even if you insist on using regex, you'd primarily use it to fix the HTML so that it can be parsed, not to use regex itself to parse HTML.
Energy property - Heat pumps and biomass stoves and boilers
Heat pumps that meet or exceed the CEE highest efficiency tier, not including any advanced tier, in effect at the beginning of the year when the property is installed, and biomass stoves and boilers with a thermal efficiency rating of at least 75% qualify for a credit up to $2,000 per year. Costs may include labor for installation.
Qualified property includes new:
Electric or natural gas heat pumps
Electric or natural gas heat pump water heaters
Biomass stoves and boilers
These are credits that only work if you have owe federal taxes and they cannot be carried forward. I've seen estimates that 40-45% of taxpayers owe 0 or close to 0.
You can also get considerable rebates if your state participates in the "Inflation Reduction Act Home Energy Rebate Program", especially if you are low income. My state is still working on rolling it out but hopefully many people who can't use tax credits will be able to take advantage.
I can't edit it anymore, but I've since learned that Republicans accelerated the expiration on these credits from 2030 to 2025 so they are no longer available. Passed it in the OBBB.
