Race-blindness was never the left-wing position, unless your definition of left wing is maybe the feel-good commentary of prominent elected moderate Democrats, who had to appeal to the majority rural white populists. I don't think many

So you think it is possible to condition people to look at another person and have them never consciously or unconsciously understand them to be white, black, asian, or any other race?

So you deny that implicit bias exists? Implicit bias has shown to affect areas as dry as medicine to scientific research, yet racial bias is somehow made up?

There's a very easy answer to your question. It's the understanding that bias/implicit bias exists and needs to be overcome. The MLK quote is such a red herring. It's a nice statement, but what one guy said 50 years ago

The USA is a capitalistic society. We only pretend to look at diversity as something that should be egalitarian. Asian Americans don't have a large enough base to provide capital for any of these areas for people to see them as benefic

I would imagine disabled and old people would use this the most (people who use Acess-A-Ride in nyc for example), but obviously this means vehicles would have to be accessible to them, and how can you guarantee that with Uber using shady co

What impact exactly? It's not up to people to disprove that bitcoin won't take over the world, when proponents fail to come up with viable use cases.

Ok, trading is completely unregulated. When we are talking about exchanges we are generally talking about what they are designed to do (trade) not details about how a small amount get USD onto their platform. Even so, these so called regula

Being licensed as a money transmitter has nothing to do with with crypto trading regulation. In fact many of those licenses explicitly state such: >Coinbase, Inc. is licensed by the Virginia State Corporation Commission as a money transm

Serious question: How does Circle afford a $400 million price tag when they've only raised $135 million? Their main product seems to be a Venmo clone, complete with the lack of fees. Surely, they're not making that much money sell

Crypto exchanges are completely unregulated and are dominated by behavior that wouldn't be legal on actual security exchanges. Because of this, a legitimate exchange would never really gain traction. Just look at Gemini.

Overall air quality is pretty good in NYC, but street level pollution is nasty. There isn't a day that I don't get huge whiffs of diesel exhaust or a weekend that i don't have to clean off black grime from my windows. Happens

95% of people wouldn't be interested in crypto if it didn't make them money. You're asking people to give up the money to improve the system for what? So they can't make as money? Crypto isn't charity. If you want b

So you can't sell your crypto there? Where is all this bitcoin coming from then? Sounds like robinhood is hoping for a huge disparity, so they can dump what they have for better prices.

Most people sit around and do nothing all day and they have to make up for it by exercising. It's much easier to do this when you are invested in it and have a routine, which in turn is easier to maintain if it is some sort of obsessio
