Yeah, you need money to raise a kid in a city, that's for sure - no argument there. That said, I'd say millennial are having fewer kids (feel comfortable on that claim without researching stats but of course they are welcome) so t

To expand on this anecdotally, I know of millennials who moved to the suburbs anticipating that suburban shift and have found themselves sorely mistaken about most of their friends patterns. I'd love to see stats on urban->suburban

I don't see how an age group of 10-17 which is at a much more formative time in their lives with some not having fully developed brains points to p-hacking. Gender difference is interesting but doesn't mean p-hacking because the r

You don't have to offer alternatives but it does improve the piece. No one said it had to be one-size-fits-all, there's plenty of room for nuance.

Yes, because doing any research on anything is not what professionals do, they just do everything themselves... Blogs are meant to offer insight and arguments, and all the top level comment is saying is that this blog did a bad job in that

Well if you need to do X, then yes, you need an alternative. The alternative of not doing anything is worse in the case (or at least that premise seems to be accepted by the author). So if you say do X but don't use tool Y, then you ne

IMO Facebook has three useful features left: the personal rolodex, event planning, and groups. I truly think that a large number of users would migrate over if someone replicated those three. No large info collection on your profile, no wal

Besides comments I see none of these as negatives. JSON is plenty readable for most in my experience and there are plenty of great readers/prettifiers for it. Having flexible configuration files sounds like a terrible idea. I don'

Interesting in theory but in practice most Americans do not have the financial literacy to budget properly to meet taxes. What happens when you don't have the cash to pay? Do we then see a whole new sector of predatory loans? Imprisonm

I don't think this approach necessarily helps with that distinction of good breaks and bad procrastination. I think it would be interesting to distinguish those, but I would look for another method if that were my goal. That also isn&#

This is very important and much of the reason I debate online at all.

So how big is that compared to the life threatening issues facing trans people daily, and which do you focus your time on? To me, when people choose to spend time on this argument, it's indicative of priorities and how they value the l

No, I think those competing in sports and the resulting effects on the lives of others is not significant to merit a large debate on the issue. A vast majority of transgender people will not participate in high competition level sports.

by adjkant 8y ago
Instead of focusing on that, how about focusing on issues that affect the lives of most trans people, not a subset so small to be statistically insignificant by any measure, not to mention the near nonexistant impact that has on anyone else

First, nothing you responded to clears up anything about your negative assumption that transgender people change for sports titles. That will always be transphobic and doesn't look at all into what the life of a trans person today or i

To break this down a bit instead of only downvoting: > I'm 100% against trans participating in sports There's a nuanced argument to be made here. > It's disgusting when men pretend to be women just to have a record on t

What's far more egregious than people buying their way in is the legacy and sport admissions system. I would go after those long before those that make large donations to schools, which at least benefit other students attending in the

First, let us not forget it took an entire public health initiative and excessive public regulation for "everyone" to understand the risks. This is not always the case generally and was certainly not when Marbolo employees, some h
