Good for you, because it's all affiliate links (tag=hnbooks04-20).

It's really tacky (and actionable) to co-opt the name of Hacker News in this way.

Not my site, just a list of books generated from HN comments.

also, this use has just 1 submission (this very one)

>“plastic bags” (which includes trash bags, grocery bags, retail bags and dry cleaning bags) make up a very small portion of litter, usually less than 1%

By mass (weight), not volume, area, visibility, or impact on wildlife.

No, by number of pieces.

> Stein analyzed 20 years of scientifically-designed, statistically based litter surveys in the U.S. and Canada and concluded that total plastic bag litter was less than 1% (by number of pieces). Combining these data with the estimated annual production of PRBs of 100 billion bags (U. S. International Trade Commission, 2009), and assuming that all of the plastic bag litter resulted from only one year’s production and use of PRBs, leads to the conclusion that less than 0.5% of PRBs end their life as litter

That "legally defined limit" is defined by zoning. So one can't say that they support maintaining existing limits and yet want existing zoning unilaterally ended.

The problem is that SF is arbitrarily denying projects that comply with existing zoning and violating state law in doing so.

>Atherton is a billionaire enclave in Palo Alto

Atherton is a distinct town that is neither in nor even adjacent to Palo Alto. It's not even in the same county.

>lack of free and competent medical treatment

In CA, people with low/no income can get fully subsidized Obamacare plans for $1/month... even if here illegally.

That's not correct. Obamacare doesn't cover undocumented immigrants. You're thinking of Medi-Cal which covers the undocumented and others.

Which makes sense since the goal is to reduce the number of uninsured and the undocumented are mostly taxpayers as well.

>Obamacare doesn't cover undocumented immigrants.

In California, yes it (Covered CA) does.

"Immigrants who are not lawfully present do not qualify for a health plan through Covered California; however, they may qualify for coverage through Medi-Cal if they are younger than 26 or are 50 or older, if they are a DACA recipient, if they are currently pregnant or were recently pregnant."

>He very nearly signed a Basic Income law.

What such law ever passed Congress during his tenure?

(1995)

A slight decrease... in just 10% of the largest metro areas!

Actual title: "SFO international terminal reopens after bomb threat prompts evacuations"

This is such a crock.

Here's the bill: https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewBillDocument/2021/54057/0/...

All they have to do is charge per unit time and electricity used, not give away electricity for free. They don't even have to charge their full marginal costs.

This merely prevents people from using these as unlimited free parking.
