> So if you ask a very small area “do you want more housing or less?” a lot of people will say that they think the local harms exceed the local benefits, and the division will basically come down to aesthetic preference for more or less

Im not smart enough to know if this is the same thing as what you're saying, but it just doesnt seem like there are millions of writing styles. There might just be too many literary doppelgangers.

But police (well, anyone, really) can still take a photo of protestors and examine it manually, right? The technology is just a tool that makes it easier, but in principle changes nothing. I guess my point is that there isn't any funda

Well since we are getting political, how about the left-wing tactic of always needing more money. Just a little bit more and everything would be better. I am being a bit pithy, but I think these sort of opinions are based in ideology, and n

Admittedly I did not watch the debate (perhaps tomorrow), but I think the crux of this disagreement seems to be the essence of what diversity statements are, and whether we believe the institution's stated goal. Proponents are arguing

Yea so I think we might just end up getting into more discussion on the definition of dark pattern than discussing the issue at hand. I think I agree with you that this isn't strictly a dark pattern. And dark patterns are generally not

I am struggling to understand how they are earning so much. They mention getting between $1 to $40 per thousand ad views. Let's say on average $10. A video that gets 165000 views is only earning $1,650--not bad for a days work, but not

It's official: anyone not claiming minority status on your application is a fool. I don't like it either, but if they are going to be racist, just do what you need to do.

That is their stated reason, because the only legally acceptable discrimination is for bona fide educational purposes. That is, they cannot discriminate to right historical wrongs, but only because having a diverse student body is part of t

What happened was racism became acceptable in society, so long as you were using the rural hick stereotype, aka 'deplorables'. We should be asking what the hell is up with society.

Yall are missing the root argument. Drinking is correlated with others drinking. It's a sort of community effect. Cowen's argument is to stop because it's contributing to problematic drinking.

In general, the system supports perseverance over any sort of ostensible values like veracity or brevity. I think this is what OP finds frustrating. There may be a way to get truth in the end, but it's often more work than many people

But the purchaser exchanged money for property. The transaction did not alter their wealth. I understand that we typically think of owning property as a means of increasing wealth, more so than renting. But this is only true because we let

So without getting into whether we actually want that, how is that achievable? In a sense, every house is unique, and land is certainly unique by it's location and also finite. There really are some number of acres within a particular

Admittedly this is tough for me to read, as there is nothing I can do to change my height. Of course they are trying to answer the entropy question. I find page 264 particularly interesting [1]. So basically, breast cancer isn't caused

I like that it's extensive, but a bit too extensive to answer the original question: what is the replacement for an electric drill? The standard crank drill is clearly the alternative [1]. Most home users should not purchase an elect

It makes me think there isn't any reason old languages cannot adopt these. Or even, come up with a new, batteries included version. Eg. keep the Java syntax, but add one standard package manager (instead of ant, mvn, gradle), one stand

I have ranted about this before: but it all feels pointless. The information is out there. You can make it illegal to look, but it doesn't matter. Consider that a shopkeeper can recognize frequent customers by their face. Our brains ar

It's not God given, but it is the law. The problem with having unwritten rules is that we don't know what they are. Do we have a right to free association? A right to body integrity? A right to death? I would be very careful about

Yea so I thibk that's a readonable argument. And I recognize this is a news article, and not like... constitutional law discussion. But I think the real origin of this article is: the author is upset about FOSTA, a view I happen to sha

Nonsense. There was no stage-setting. I think it's unfortunate that one can write for Wired, yet not even mention that the word 'privacy' does not appear in the constitution. Again, the media does a poor job of educating the

Someday someone is going to invent a way to sample your DNA for under 1 USD, and all of this will be moot. Further, they will probably be able to do it by touch or by air. Our problems stem because we take certain privacies for granted by t

Meanwhile publications love calling White culture ugly. Shows you who the real racists are.

I am not convinced by any answers. They are predictions--that's great for talking and might make a good road trip argument. But I think this really has to be tested. Someone call the MythBusters back.

Did anyone actually care about the ethics exam? I think we all know what it's for: so the institution can either check some requirement that an accreditor has placed upon them, or simply so that they can claim 'every accountant go

It's a boring movie. It's not a very good plot (and even has some weird coincidental plot holes). But I think it's well regarded because of the world building, set design, costumes, and music.

Videogames are oddly the most secure of all. I don't know why (maybe criminals are more likely to go for your WoW account assuming the legal consequences are less) but I would advise all companies to examine how Blizzard, Valve, and ot

The more I read about phones and texting, the more I realize that they were never intended to be used as security verification. It just was not one of the design goals. My understanding of caller id is that anyone can put anything there--it

Unfortunately I don't think that will work because the attacker is in the middle. They can request the verification number, then forward it to the victim. It sounds like we want identity verification, which while solved for computers,
