Some of them do ask for it. And it does little or nothing. I'm a writer and a blogger. Newspapers are dying. If you put ads on your site, people use ad blockers. People find ways around pay walls. Etc. Sometimes you can't somehow

I'm far from the only person who feels people should get paid for their work if they add value to the lives of others or this article wouldn't exist. Some people know how to add value and don't know how to turn that into an i

Yeah, I think it would take something like bankruptcy of a Fortune 500 company because a critical open source piece shut down. And I'm not holding my breath that even that would sink in. People are amazingly talented at hearing only wh

I don't know how we resolve this. Some things are excellent because open source allows an individual to make what they want without answering to a boss or whatever and then if it gets popular, it comes with responsibilities but probabl

Ah, it's Romanized Greek. Yes, I've forgotten most of the Classical Greek I took in college but I'm not as stupid as I sometimes feel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars_longa,_vita_brevis

Excellent article. Star Trek proposed a magical technical Tricorder as an ultra compact futuristic little black bag. You could whip it out and aim it at someone and have scads of useful data instantly. Reality delivered us new tech like MRI

This is true. And also false. In households with a nuclear family or heterosexual couple, women still tend to do the lion's share of "the women's work." But people are generally marrying later, having fewer kids, more co

I'm a former full-time wife and mom. I got divorced and got a corporate job at a Fortune 500 company where most of the women were shocked and jealous that my sons took over most of the cooking, grocery shopping and cleaning. I've

Off the top of my head, in no particular order and probably not comprehensive: Improved health for people not living that way. More freedom to live as you choose. Heteronormative culture has long pressured young people to get married and ha

Having been a homemaker, among other life experiences, I'm well aware that if you are someone's bitch, no amount of "fixing" things within that prison actually fixes fuck all. It looks to me like Gaza wants water self su

I can think of at least two infections that are probably widespread and underreported in the US. Plus, in recent years, there's a quiet little Hepatitis A epidemic in the US that the CDC is actively downplaying. I'm aware of the h

I wasn't being rude to you either. There are ways to get good data and best practices for social phenomena. It's just not easy. It's not easy with science either. Plane crashes killed people like some Cthulhu horror tearing

"Liberal" as a political term is wholly unrelated to the original meaning of liberal arts though it's unsurprising that the two things are being conflated, even by people teaching at the college level. "Ninety percent

Potable water is a scarce resource on planet Earth. Most water is salt water. And that's not even talking about all the water we've horrifically polluted.

I'm not personally aware of the idea of Marxism working being some essential belief for a liberal arts education.

Israel "supplies" Gaza with water because the source of Wadi Gaza (the Gaza River) happens to be on Israeli land. That's like saying "The US supplies Mexico with water" because the Colorado River originates in the U

(Assuming your take is correct) Well perhaps if Israel would try to help Palestine care for its people, Palestine would be less willing to be used as a tool for Jewish oppression by other Muslim nations. At the moment, they are in horrendou

I didn't assume it was some kind of rebuttal of my comment. I'm generally looking for genuine, meaty discussion. The pandemic impacted the entire globe and a lot of internet comments were driven by fear, not genuine curiosity or i

Thank you for the context. My reasons for thinking it was credible have nothing to do with "math I didn't understand." I actually think the larger problem is how it spread via travelers and that some of the actions taken nomi

I'm not the one who brought up Lebanon as a proxy for Hezbollah. I'm just attempting to reply as best I can in a good faith fashion knowing that's not how most people are trying to reply. Most people on the Internet are looki

That's not my impression. Some time ago, I tried to sort out why there was conflict in Gaza and there's a complex history going back at least a thousand years. Saying conflict between Israel and Lebanon is wholly unrelated to conf

I am opposed to the practice of raping people as a war tactic. And I wish Israel would get its boot off of Gaza's water supply.

Israel controls the water supply in Gaza. They aren't even allowed to collect rain water. It rains something like 2 inches a year there. People collecting rain water someplace with so little rain are likely quite desperate. https:&#x2

The best examples I can give: 1. College educated people smoke less on average. This is true regardless of income even though typically less income correlates to more smoking. 2. In poor neighborhoods, when the number of residents without c

Viewing college through this lens is part of the problem. It's college as job training , not education. Real education covers more than "skills and credentials I need to get a well-paid job."
