No, that isn’t a “commons”. And a commons in terms of the “tragedy of commons” isn’t well defined either. And the “tragedy of the commons” isn’t well supported either. For example, sunlight. Sunlight delivers huge value to society but profi

This is so backwards it’s incredible. If H1Bs were so destructive to the software industry, why would the software industry, which has the highest prevalence of H1Bs, be the industry with the highest growth in salaries for basically the pas

Any H1B related postings are a tiny fraction of the postings by recruiters and recruitment agencies trying to build up their databases, and companies wanting to look like they’re continuing to grow.

This was unsurprising when American employees decided to use the significant power they gained over the pandemic to insist on WFH. Whether working collaboratively in an office was beneficial or not, employers certainly believed it to be so.

Also, this is a ridiculous argument. If someone raises their human kid “to be eaten”, that would be the purpose of the kid. Does that make it ok to eat the kid?

Here’s a compromise. Neither you nor I get to decide what the purpose of another sentient being is.

Being against child slavery doesn’t exclude you from benefitting from child slavery when you use your phone. I guess you should just be pro child slavery and enslaved some kids to do your housework then? Cars kill 50k Americans a year. I gu

Murder is also part of the “circle of life”, whatever that may mean, given that it’s pablum that means nothing. As is disease. We rightfully find these immoral and don’t engage in them. That’s not a defense of the immoral act. It’s just wo

Only about 15% of Apple’s iPhone production is in India with it expected to rise to about 25% over the next few years. But the administration is likely to impose even higher tariffs on India, so that doesn’t help either.

Even if they could rehire everyone instantly, these people are now ripe for being turned by a foreign adversary like Russia or China. And I bet the Russian and Chinese intelligence agencies have increased their espionage efforts exponential

There’s a lot of “people have been complaining about the youth for a long time” in these comments. I get where that’s coming from. However, I don’t think these complaints are the same. Let’s not approach this from the youth, but from the te

I’m not sure why anyone buys Kindles when there are so many better options available. I bought a Kobo Clara years ago, and it supports regular MOBI and ePub files. My book purchases are no longer liked with the reader and I’ve never had a p

Ah yes, “collateral damage”. What a wonderful phrase that came into prominence to euphemise the killing of hundreds of thousands to millions of innocent Afghans and Iraqis. I believe your use of it here is equally appropriate considering wh

Whatever you think about the de minimis trade exemption, (I support removing it since it’s clearly become a loophole that can be exploited in a way that wasn’t imaginable in the past when a random American couldn’t order a $2 item from a ra

Lots of CVD events happen before the age of 70. This study has done nothing to remove survivorship bias. That in itself makes the study results contradictory. If, for example, we assume egg consumption increases the risk of CVD, as other st

The U.S. has also become ridiculously expensive. Yeah the dollar is stronger which is great to buy imports. But you cannot import housing, most healthcare, most services like cooks, cleaners and bartenders.
