The reason we must be careful is beacuase women can suffer from mental illness just as easy as men. People with mental illness make things up. Remember “mattress girl” or the Duke lacrosse team? These cases ruined innocent lives, not someth

To explain “need to go to the doctor”... To be clear, I’m talking about the cost/benefit. If the cost is $0, then that equation is out of balance. There are literally people going to the ER for a stomach ache. I’m only going off of pe

You’ve confused the problem with solution. The problem is government (as I will attempt to explain), so the solution can not be more government. Healthcare started to go very wrong in this country when the government stepped in [1]. Because

Sure. Besides the technical differences in ownership structure which you can easily google, the reality of nonprofits is that in most cases the founder stands to make as much money (yearly) as the founder of a for-profit company. For exam

I mean no disrespect, but perhaps my honest opinion might help a you a bit, though I could be totally wrong. Your hook, “Super Global is a nonprofit tech advisory service for social impact organizations .”, makes me feel like you think I

His entire premise is built off the following lie: “Not all the victims of police misconduct are minorities — witness a blonde Australian woman shot to death by a Minneapolis police officer after she called 911, or an unarmed white man shot

So basically everybody gets a virtual personal money printer to put in their basement. Awesome. How many Ian bucks for your car? I hope that sounds as ridiculous to you as it does to me.

I’ve been expecting this type of discussion for a long time. It’s part of the march toward socialism. We are now starting the price fixing phase of the march. Now that enough of the nation’s healthcare bills are being paid by tax payers, it

On one hand you blame capitalism when corporations are just following government mandates. On the other hand you’d rather a different economic system, I presume, where the government has even more say, such as socialism. Please try to recon

I don’t know why you got down voted. That’s what Tesla should have done if they haven’t documented any performance problems. What they did is basically slander with real economic consequences to those fired and they should sue. Being fired

Beware of wealthy people telling you taxes should be higher and “they” should pay more. It’s already entirely possible for them to pay more without a change in tax rates, just don’t take any deductions. The reality is that they want to pret

When you can't tell the difference between a joke and reality it can't be good. In this case, I guess this is a real thing, but reading the website it seems like it could just as easily be a joke. Kinda like the Antifa spoof pages

The default is your website gets padded so the unique design "features" don't interfere with your current design. That's fine by me.

A Glock safety doesn't prevent you from pulling the trigger, but it requires you to pull it correctly which can reduce (but not eliminates) accidents. I believe earlier versions had an initial heavy trigger that lightened once it was p

New product idea: a physical key guard. A small plastic cage that slips over a key and doesn't allow it to be pushed by accident, but still allows it to be pushed with extra force. Kinda like the safety on a glock.

You would need a small nation state to run the experiment with its own currency and limited natural resources (as in, it can't just sell oil and distribute profits like Alaska). It would also have to be very librial about borders and i

An American friend of mine worked at a private school there. She said that boys are being raised to be pampered with the expectation in life that they will not need to provide for their family through work and that women are basically slave

Devils advocate here. Isn't just visiting the site giving consent to allow the sandbox (browser) to be utilized as the site directs? This is an extreme case, granted, but it's still within the bounds of the sandbox. Perhaps we&#x2

By the usual way, I was referring to large advertising campaigns that I'm sure yield more votes per dollar than a quadratic voting system. One of the things you're missing is that people who can afford to buy that many votes for a

It's quadratic, do some quick math on how expensive it is to buy a victory. It's actually more cost effective to buy people's votes the usual way.

The truth is probably that they're both right. Musk is right in that we probably need to be careful about autonomous weapons, which are very possible. But the expert in the article is right that we don't have to worry about sentie

I get what you're saying, but profit creates the same motivation for vertical integration. If there are two layers in my coffee bean acquisition I'm losing the profit made at every layer, so of course I would want to own those lay

I completely agree, but for totally different reasons. If a major function of government is to protect our property (land, savings, boats, cars, etc...), then it could be said the more property we have the more we benefit from government pr
