It is unlawful in some jurisdictions to have unpaid interns engage in activities that have a material commercial value to the business. I don't know if this is the case in your jurisdiction, but I doubt anyone considers this hiring eit

I have never seen a Twitter mob manage to avoid the use of libelous claims. This begs the question, what could be done to protect people from online mobs? What relief do you think unions could provide?

This is one of the areas where liberal and conservatives alike are often in strong agreement. I find it curious that we haven't seen a protest over this issue that carries enough weight to illicit some serious change. It doesn't s

This is perfectly normal. I don't want my home address out in public so I use a registered agent service to act as the address for filings like these. The same is true for both the US and UK (both places where I have founded companies.

Customer service, features/bundles, and deal terms are reasonable ways for a company to differentiate itself I believe. I'd rather everyone have great internet access at a fair price and let the companies battle it out for a small

The issue far predates 2016. The NSA and the mass-surveillance apparatus has been around far longer, with massive bipartisan support.

I'm being downvoted for simply pointing out that there was/is a public 'debate' (if we can even give it that much credit) about hydroxychloroquine, and that the current state of online communication makes me able to imag

No need to be sorry! I was asked if there's consensus regarding the effectiveness of HCQ. Currently, there is not. Not long ago, medical professionals were recommending it and there was, at least publicly, a consensus of sorts based on

by Proziam 6y ago
As of right now, I believe the general consensus is that it's not effective (or at least not more effective than standard treatment). However, if you went back just a few weeks you'd have seen quite a few credible people claiming

Based on the debate currently raging over hydroxychloroquine and its uses/effectiveness I can totally imagine the typical Twitter reaction being of rather poor quality.

Maybe, just maybe, you should take the criticism to mean that your intent didn't come across well and that you have an opportunity to improve how you communicate with others. Food for thought.

Rockets were designed to kill people, now they take us to space. A test is just a tool. How you use the tool is what matters most. In the context of medical research specifically, different groups experience different health issues at diffe

It seems you agree with me that UBI is a good idea, but that human beings and imperfect systems muck it all up. I have yet to see a government institution remain uncorrupted and focused on the original principles upon which it was founded.

by Proziam 6y ago
Yes, absolutely. The key difference is in the incentives/outcomes of the policy. UBI involves lessening incentive to participate in the labor market, lower taxes increases the incentive (because you keep more of your earnings). At some

I think this is one area where pretty much everyone who has had some exposure to government can agree. I've often tried to liken it to the ACA. Yeah, we can probably get it passed, and it may help for a while. However, you're one

My biggest UBI fear is this. UBI becomes the single biggest election issue. Politicians promising increases to get elected, and all the bad policy that stems from such motivations. This is then followed by an inevitable pullback at some poi

Unfortunately that system isn't working for everyone. If you track the economic power of a country like Germany, their people should be wealthy beyond reason. Instead, the people are becoming poorer each generation. https://
