I'll bite, I down voted because you seem excited about the inevitable clash between laws that are almost certainly unconstitutional/ill conceived/partisan, and social media companies. It seems like a gigantic waste of time, a

Depending on how it is set up, I could see them being considered independent. If Facebook set aside the money and legally sheltered it from their own influence via a trust or something, then that could be considered fairly independent.

So... Oppress women is the solution you are proposing here? Why have you gendered it at all? Why do women have to face social stigma and not men? What about gay relationships, presumably you'd apply the same thinking (en route to a mar

It's not working because they believe the wrong things about why they are struggling to find companionship. It's not just find some stat to max and done, positioning the problem this way is itself part of the problem. > Reducin

I'd understand if I was out here being like, "SV SHOULD BE MARXIST" but I'm literally just answering a question that's a common misconception.

No, it's not. Marx was critical of the capitalist mode of production. Marxism is a lens of looking at economics and sociology. Communism and socialism, which are considered different in modern writing but were the same in Marx's t

On the flip side, however, no one owes you companionship or a relationship (platonic or not). If you are struggling to fulfill that need, it's on you to improve yourself through building skills, seeking therapy, finding appropriate med

Is there some way to look at $700,000 and not think, "Holy shit that's a life changing amount of money for nearly any American."?

Kids of even really young ages are more capable than we give them credit for. A four year old is perfectly capable of helping prep dinner, provided you line up the right tasks. ("Tear up this lettuce, get 5 forks out, ...."). By s

Take all of what you described and add, "Are the decisions and interactions I had with my child today going to eternally fuck up their future ability to be an adult?" and you begin to see the scope of being a parent.

You means the developer. If a developer has decided to put a big building there, it's because there is demand. Obviously there's no central planning authority, just developers building where they can. I should have been more speci

$700k+ is objectively a large amount of money to spend on housing, more than double the median US home price. Even if it's a middle class home in its local market.

It's different, but similar. We do actually care about other property ownership -- we tax various parts of its production to encourage the outcomes we want. That might be taxing based on country of origin, of materials used, of cost to

I wonder if a place like Houston would experience pretty dramatic shifts in culture as a result, particularly around the usages of cars and transit. IIRC, there are parking lots everywhere in Houston. A LVT would presumably make putting in

If you are placing 16+ story housing buildings down, it's because you need the density. No one puts an apartment building down that size in a ghost town. Odds are good that density is still desired across the street. Or maybe one step

Surely you can see that reducing tax rates is itself playing favorites? The poor pay no taxes and many require the assistance those taxes provide. By reducing the tax rate you have negatively impacted the services those folk may require a

Everything from self driving, to shipping cars, to moon and Mars missions. It's one thing to be an optimist. It's another to promise something you have no path to deliver.

For any new technology it is important to ask, who will have access and how will we treat those without access. Sometimes new tech enriches all our lives, nearly everyone benefits from renewable energy for instance. In other cases you risk

Capitalism truly is the most efficient way to allocate resources. ;) Less snarky response, perhaps if we saw more worker coops we'd care less about being a founder and more about delivering a result.

Dry mass is typically used because it's consistent. Trees fluctuate over the year, being drier in some seasons than other. But they'll have the same dry mass. Trees are mostly C6 H10 O5, coming from CO2 and H20. Based on atomic we
