Do you have evidence of this or just good feelings that 20M surely would be used correctly? Have you considered that wealthy people would lie if it suits their material interests?

It's funny how the time of the gold standard was the other time in US history where it was a banana republic but I'm sure that's a coincidence and not a collary.

Tynan is a great example, as well, of how your own biases will influence the emergent properties of the game. This aspect may have been changed, but when it was first implemented, male colonists were either exclusively heterosexual or excl

Yeah, that -might- be true, but what if people just lie to the computer? Also, love the idea that computers figured out the knack in reading head bumps the humans just couldn't crack.

If there were some truth to racism, wouldn't that system be the best way to defeat inequality?

Most highly educated knowledge workers I know are killing themselves with overwork,but it's better paid, so it's easier to justify it to yourself.

I kept waiting for the part where he asks you to come to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ but like, I've got stuff to do today and only have so many hours for tedious articles evangelizing a personal point through a series of convolute

Is it worse or are we just getting better data on it? It seems just as likely that these states simply went unreported due to having nobody who was interested in listening. Might be that the quiet desperation has always been there, but now

'Neither may apply today' is quite the phrase. I mean asbestos used to cause mesothelioma and be highly regulated, but neither may apply today.

What, you don't like multiple paragraphs with sub paragraph parenthetical phrases and taking the time to make sure the reader understands how these business processes are 'barnacles' but then tries to have it both ways by say

Anybody is free to have an opinion on Andy Ngo but calling him, with complete credulity, someone who "became noteworthy by documenting the excesses of the far left" without mentioning his vocal and widespread reporting in favor of

I'm just following the OPs line of reasoning.

Tell me more about how Dr. King wouldn't have used collective action as a catalyst for change.

I was done after he actively defended Andy Ngo. I was very much prepared to support this article, but it starts out with comparisons to Maoist China with the most self serving example of that regime's actions, and keep going further. J

This is a great summation of the article. The pandemic gave me the time to start executing some of my favorite ideas and it's really something to see features drop off the timeline as the execution complexities start to spin out geomet

These are all just spinning food products around or on a heat source, sounds like we could just abstract and reuse that module without coding up a behavior for each 'new' cooking technique.

I appreciate this advice, and generally agree, but game theory doesn't take externalities into account. If your employer is particularly toxic and hiding it, a noisy exit might bring extra scrutiny that could help other people who stay

I agree overall, just my lived experience in the American South. YMMV. Though, I would push back lightly on your last statement. Two people happily chimed in to challenge my subjective statement. Statements about how bad cities are and the

Oh this is easy. It's because the suburbs are perceived as having less diversity due to past decades of redlining. As somebody whose parents moved to a 'nice' suburb when I was 14, it wasn't so much nicer as it was almos

"I was testing how the bank processes having a ton of cash taken out by someone without an account, I wasn't testing the staff or police response, geez!"

Yeah we get to hold people who are claiming to act in good faith to a higher standard than active malicious attackers. Their actions do not comport with ethical research practices.

That sounds like something that the government should oversee, maybe they could also make some regulations so that , I dunno, corporations might need to be responsible for their actions.

I enjoyed the article until the inevitable comparison to current trends. It's like reading a retro article. "Holding people in power to account is EXACTLY WHAT THE COMMUNISTS WOULD Do. DON'T ASK HOW. Smoke Lucky Strike Brand

Living rural you're also more prone to being shut out without any recourse if you don't meet the community's unspoken standards.

You're arguing from a place where metaphors don't exist. Aside from people who have already questionable judgement, nobody treats "The customer is always right" as a literal dictum. I am not compelled to "Love that
