It seems like this site is more EU based. Does anybody here know if there is an MLS equivalent in this jurisdiction and/or if similar copyright holders over there are as litigious?
There’s not an MLS equivalent in the UK, property data is quite fragmented.
We’re not looking to display anything an estate agent doesn’t want us to - agents tell us they’re very happy for us to serve as an advertising channel. And we’d immediately action any sort of take down request.
I was on the real state listing site side long time ago, we were trying to block scrapers from getting our data, at the en we loss, and now we pay them to send us users instead of paying Google ads because it’s cheaper. Fun times
You stay motivated by remaining as close to the value you are delivering to your customers as possible, so you can feed energy from their use of the product.
This is almost impossible in a marketplace business, which is one of the infinite number of reasons that building a marketplace inevitably fails.
Ok I'll bite. The de minimus rule allows any import valued under $800 to enter the USA duty free. Chinese drop shipping companies and others leverage this rule to ship millions of packages direct to consumer. Many Chinese companies split a large freight shipments into dozens of smaller shipments to avoid paying duty fees.
My understanding is, trade war stuff aside, the effect this has on customs is to overwhelm their intake facilities with small packages, thus allowing shipments of narcotics and illicit goods to make it through without much chance of getting caught. The idea is that removing this rule will force shippers to bulk ship freight and allow customs to better inspect smaller shipments.
Wouldn't the bulk freight still be largely un-inspected?
Seems like a lot of logistics companies will just offer a lot of LTL where packages will go inside shipping containers and then get reshipped via USPS after getting sorted at the private logistics warehouse near the port.
The containers will take longer to get here via ship, and everything will have to be marked with an invoice for some kind of tariff, but I don't know what else will really change.
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only money
Cynicism aside I don’t see it happening, let’s see how the tv series pans out but I really like their recent work - Space Marine I & II were excellent. I still play Dawn of War just for the vibes, and I hear the table top and RP games are also still good
Yeah, I think GW is well aware that their 40K and Fantasy universes have incredible draw. Even given the enormous barrier to entry for the premier tabletop game, the IP is ubiquitous.
Unlike WOTC, who seem so flippant about their MTG IP that they're happily slushing it with Marvel, Avatar, Spongebob etc. And even when they're not, they're releasing in-universe sets now that are literally "planeswalkers in cowboy hats," "planeswalkers doing pod-racing," "planeswalkers but its Stranger Things."
Also highly recommended are Mechanicus and Darktide.
Even the old battlefleet gothic were good.
They nailed several entries in several genres.
And for media? They have none other than Astartes, though some actually produced things are quite good as well, none tops this youtube miniseries IMHO.
FYI these wait times are now down to about 2 weeks. The ATF decided to do the bare minimum of process improvements and had a ~10X increase in efficiency.
It is hilarious how bad the media is about guns, but understandable when gun people for the most part are also bad about guns.
It looks to me like a subcompact with no booster in the can. He is already dropping the gun to rack after the first shot, he knew it would need it, but it isn’t the welrod’s twist and pull.
You seem to know what you’re talking about. I have no clue or idea whatsoever about firearms. Why is he racking it each time? I’ve never seen that before in my extremely limited knowledge of guns.
Here's my understanding. Semi-automatic pistols predominantly rely on recoil to cycle the action, in one way or another.
If you are firing subsonic ammunition, to avoid the loud supersonic crack, then you typically get less recoil[1] compared to a firing supersonic ammunition due to the reduced speed of the bullet.
In some firearms you can replace parts such a recoil springs to get the weapon to cycle reliably with subsonic ammunition, but if that is not done you will need to manually operate the action[2].
A few firearms even supports disabling the semi-automatic action, as the sound of the action cycling can actually be quite loud in comparison to a suppressed subsonic shot.
It’s possible he really downloaded some 158gr+ to get it as quiet as possible. To the point it wasn’t supposed to cycle.
Typically, though, you don’t necessarily get less recoil with subs. You get different recoil.
A 115gr 9mm at 1300fps as a sharp recoil. More than enough to run the gun.
A 147 / 158 / 160+ 9mm at 1000fps, has a lot of of the same energy, and typically a slower burning powder is used. It’s also enough to run the gun, the recoil is a lot longer and pushier instead of snappy.
I don’t know. If it was me, I would have my ammunition ready to cycle the gun. Yes, it’s a little bit louder, but the chance that I need to fire more than a couple of shots in order to achieve my goal and escape, outweighs the absolute sound reduction to me.
But, there is something to say that if I filled my silencer with wire, pulling gel, it was a big can, I have some ammo that I know won’t cycle, and I didn’t think I was gonna be in a place with cameras, yeah I don’t know. Maybe it was intentionally downloaded ammo.
Your rage is misattributed: the media stories were based on what the police were saying. The reason they were at that gun shop in Connecticut is because _they_ thought it might be an unusual type of gun which would be extremely useful for narrowing down a suspect pool measured in millions.
That doesn’t mean it was a serious theory - if you have the resources of the NYPD, you might have a couple officers working on any possible angle for a case this high-profile – and it certainly wouldn’t be the first time “sources” was someone spouting off to impress a reporter.
It's also worth noting that you can buy signs and stickers on ebay for way less than the actual system, and you arguably get most of the benefit from the visual indicators.
I keep re-reading this section of their blog post trying to figure out what I'm missing here. $2.6 million full load per employee on avg? Is this heavily weighted to a few executives? Can somebody explain this to me?
