Thanks, I’ll read it.

Please consider that “ I took an ethics class on this” is not a great indicator. The “structure” of the economy doesn’t benefit at all from a precarious underclass. It would be better if people had savings! Welfare and unemployment insuran

But diversity isn’t better. That’s just a belief people adopted because of a court ruling that says it’s a valid excuse to discriminate. The point is to discriminate.

In fact it really is not likely flawed. The only way you ever get proportionate presence in anything is if there’s a finger on the scale.

How on earth would a leaky Soviet reactor create orbital debris?

You’d have to be grandmaster-level for this to be true.

The feedback loop here isn’t a problem. It’s what incites production.

Now ask yourself why black traffic deaths are up a lot more than other races’ the past couple of years. When you are hitting cars with a radar gun — that’s how most speeding tickets happen — you in fact cannot see the race of the driver.

There is a guy on the other side of that transaction who would capture that surplus value.

Are you a lawyer with experience handling these kinds of cases? "This is a RACIST establishment ..." sounds like a defamatory statement to my naive ears when it is made without any fact behind it.

All LGBT people are descended from straight people, so there is no reparation factor.

> Where does it specifically say in the US Constitution that you’re allowed to incite violence? :-) You mean lawless violence. :-) I would bet calls for killing some private citizen (e.g. agitating, “kill Rodney Dangerfield”) would not s

The constitution (and court interpretation) overrides statutory law.

Calls for violence are legal in the United States.

Ramesh Balwani was prosecuted. What are some examples of men who haven’t been prosecuted for fraud on this scale? Isn’t prosecuting for fraud good for non-fraudulent founders? That means investors can trust them more. So if men actually w

Is the state responsible for the municipal government? Or would that be Jackson, MS’s voters?

This would create an impossible moderation burden on any website with user-posted content.

“Governance” includes diversity, in most randomly googled pages about ESG, so that hurts the company as well.

In the U.S., it was the left that got rid of the civil service exam. My guess is, rules that make life harder for teachers, such as ongoing education requirements, also tend to come from some wing of the Democratic Party. I am just trying

That means yes, they are required by law to be larger. It was also because a fuel economy rule change.

“Acute” is used as in “acute toxicity” versus “chronic toxicity.” Poisoning via one-time exposure, as opposed to, say, a decade of eating lead paint.

Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods are an example of each. Many others, some entrepreneurs who post on HN, hopped out of California before taking a capital gain. I think that also might be why Amazon is in Washington, but possibly that was ju

It’s almost as if centralized control of resources doesn’t allocate them optimally.

Isn’t his wife’s family in commercial property? So he’d be naturally aligned in favor of building housing any place they have commercial property. Not “affordable housing” which is a tax that makes less construction happen, but cheaper ho

There are a lot more reasons than that.

I don’t understand why you think this would happen. Whatever Twitter would agree to, Musk would rather overpay by $10B with other investors and own Twitter, than to pay a $10B settlement and own nothing. And if it were a small enough settl

This doesn’t account for California’s regulatory impoverishment. Housing is cheaper in Texas.

What discourages owning housing as an investment is repealing legislation that inhibits construction. Nothing else (besides laws affecting population growth) changes the fundamental supply/demand meeting point, in the long run. Othe
