This is why the internet exists.

Incredible catharsis. Love it.

Always hard to put these number in perspective.

Here's the one that worries me: Interest payments on the debt are projected to grow to 6.7 percent of GDP in thirty years (right now they're 1.9 percent and Social Security outlays are 4.9 percent).

Deficits are projected to be 10 percent of GDP then, meaning 2/3rds of our borrowing will be done to pay off existing borrowing. That's not good.

I saw some interest out there for this math practice app I created for my kids (probably because of the lock down situation). I'm not sure if the world needs another math app, but if you find value in it I will continue with the development.

Some notes about the tech:

I wanted the shortest path to launch a prototype with my basic programming skills from the past. All the new development options (with command line package installations etc.) scares me.

Basic html/css/javascript to the rescue. I installed Visual Studio Code, linked materialcss, and got to work. It is all client side with no server code. Uploaded it with basic inmotion hosting and here we are.

Feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks.

1) The text box for answers should already be clicked and ready to type in. So when you submit your answer, you don't need to click again to get the next question.

2) To move things along, the correct / incorrect response should pop up on the next page with the next question, text box ready to start typing.

3) Choosing difficulty would be helpful. Multiplication thrown in with addition would be discouraging for a kid who only knows addition.

4) If you'd like to stop, clicking Home at the top should pause the timer. I completed a few questions then wanted to go to home and click around. But the timer kept going, which if I didn't notice would run out and then subtract a kid's progress.

5) In the about section, it'd probably be helpful to explain to non-tech savvy parents that this browser keeps track of your progress with cookies. As long as you're signed in on the same web browser on the same account/computer, your progress will be saved.

Definitely keep going!

It doesn't appear to be a statement of political alignment but of risk-aversive behavior.

"For such a liberal city?"

"The Housing: San Francisco has deeply conservative tendencies for such a liberal city. Its housing supply isn't growing fast enough to keep up with rising demand."

Restrictive housing is more of a liberal phenomenon than a conservative one, wouldn't you say?

tvchurch commented on 64% of all federal arrests last year were of non-U.S. citizens   justice.gov/usao-sdwv/pr/... · Posted by u/RickJWagner

Here's Alex Nowrasteh on this topic: https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/1164862732102963200

1.4% of all arrests in 2014 were federal.

Most law enforcement is by local or state governments.

This headline makes it seem like 64% of all arrests were for non-citizens. Not at all the case.
