It's unfortunate that the article you linked leads with a headline citing vague "blue states" but then only talks about NY's (a single state) parochial, extremely outdated electoral system. If the author was trying to ar

I don't think we needed Stalin to fight Hitler, in many ways the fact that they decided to (euphemistically) 'share a border' helped contribute to the start of WWII. The street combat that led to the NSDAP's seizure of

Whatever employee union that would represent those workers would inevitably start demanding they be issued firearms (at least in the US) due to the legitimate fear of an armed populace, leading to more guns on the streets and more opportuni

Curious if you include right-wing personalities who try and get "progressives" or "liberals" fired from their jobs in the great group of Cancellers, you may be interested in the doctrine of the preferred first speaker.

I highly doubt this, it's far more likely they want to know the makeup of their demographic for marketing purposes (ie., approach company with detailed statistics about who will see their convention ads, or modify their own in-house ad

I wanted to know what the foreign policy implications were. I'm of the opinion that the population should be able to know about as much as the government when it comes to foreign policy.

It's shameful that the government has to conduct this kind of awareness campaign with one hand tied behind its back. Who are the think tanks? State it publicly.

This surprised me: "“We meet once or twice a day for five or six hours,” said Sawhney. “Even when we’re not meeting, we’re just constantly messaging each other.”" That's a lot of math time!

Just as the case with US disrespect/neglect of provincial specific good restrictions, other countries also don't fully enforce our [American] notions of intellectual property rights.

My trick for this is to disable the Youtube app on my phone and only use the browser to watch videos. Combined with DNS66, the few ads that do make it through on the site can be dismissed by just refreshing the page, which is easy to do in

Standout passage for me: "The villain, if there is one, might be the country’s penchant for the “quick fix.” Had Sputnik not flown, UICSM, SMSG, the Madison Project, and the other experimental programs might have evolved slowly and car

Of course I can't find it now no matter how hard I look, but there was an excellent blog post on here many months ago explaining how the pyramid of needs has become somewhat of a lazy shortcut people like to see on PowerPoint slides, w

Chaos leads to distracted government, which we've had 4 years of. Now we'll have at least 2 years of divided government. Government occupied elsewhere is always good for Koch's business. Chaos will do.

I don't think you have to "defend the exploitation of the poor..." to argue that the problem is these people are not being integrated into the social/government networks the rest of Europe benefits from. The criminal gan

I would reach a different conclusion than you based on the flaws you identified, namely that argumentation and language is a flexible instrument in the first place. If I was reading a (peer reviewed) history text and the author suggested so

Surprised to see Oliver Stone's documentary (Untold History) mentioned. It's very approachable, generally accurate stuff. Far better fare than most History Channel stuff. There is a companion text with comprehensive footnotes, wit
