I think there are two cases that are brought up in this article. The first is that some agencies file suit to stop or delay giving out the records that will make them look bad. The second is that the agency has a legitimate concern that if

A important part of coercion is that it must cause action, it does not count as coercive if it prevents action. If I have a gun and say, "don't take my water or I shoot you" I have prevented you from acting thus not coercion.

Say we have two lines. One line for disaster charity contains water for free but you have to wait two hours and you only get two bottles per person per day. The other line with Joe Capitalist where you can get as much water as you want

Ahh, your phrasing of "if you don't act white your kids will be doomed" puts it in a way I can understand it, thank you. Part of me feels like the idea "white culture is harmful" is harmful. I think it would be muc

I think we agree, poverty traps need to be fixed. I think there are a lot of reasons fathers aren't sticking around. I think a lot of those can be helped if there was less drug use and gang violence and more enfranchise on education, f

An aside, I grew up in a small Midwest town. There was one black family in town. One of the sons was in the grade above me in school and people would joke that he wasn't really "black". This was because he had been raise in a

I have not read Amy Wax's original letter but my understand is that she made the claim that people in the lower social-economic classes have been rejecting the "Bourgeois" culture. She then went on to say that this rejection

Lets imagine a culture that says anyone that has brown eyes is a non-person and can be owned. Once owned that person can be beaten, raped, or killed at the whine of the owner. Further more, any crime comes with a price tag, if you pay the p

Not op and not exactly what you ask for. Welfare is structured so that single moms get more money if they stay single. It is bad for the kids to grow up without a father and it is bad for society to encourage it. Source: Wife worked in a ho

What are you spending money on that you need to earn $350k to break even? Assuming you find a modest home in SF for $1mil your 30 year mortgage would be ~$57k a year. Property tax is ~$7k. Insurance will be <$5k. So to have a home you on

I think $250k is a little high. You can have "high end" talent fresh out of grad school and make less then that. Maybe $100k or $150k would be better.

It is a little bit of an exaggeration, there are going to be a lot of people that will get caught and a lot that will get away. The point of the statement is to reduce confidence in dark net markets so they are more likely to fail.

It seems like Ethereum is getting a lot more industry support than Bitcoin ever did. If Ethereum continues it looks like it could kill off Bitcon, the looming possibility of a hard fork might be contributing make that happen really soon.
