Why do you need to work 50-60 hours a week? I know my teachers in HS in Ontario were only scheduled for 4 hours of instruction a day. Are American teachers scheduled for more instruction? How much do grading, lesson planning, and extracurri

It's way more likely that a hacker can convince a customer support rep that he's me than that hacker can steal my 2FA codes. This isn't a hypothetical, this happens all the time including to people I know personally: https:&

Monopolies and cartels are also busted, and for the same reason. They distort markets and lead to worse outcomes for consumers and the country at large.

This isn't education. An analogy would be a sex "education" campaign that teaches everyone they will get pregnant or AIDS the first time they have sex and that the only way to avoid such things is abstinence. Making up lies w

Well, I wouldn't invite a woman I barely knew to meet with me one-on-one unless I was trying to signal sexual interest to her. So I guess my brain is somehow trying to be consistent?

I didn't want to be the first to say it, but it does feel very inappropriate and gay to ask another straight man that I barely know to hang out one-on-one. Which means that you need to meet potential friends through and with a group wh

The US is high variance. Almost my entire CS graduating class moved from Canada to the US because the dream is still alive there and hardly exists here (despite Canada certainly being a better place to live for the average citizen).

Tax rates should be based on $/h somehow but I don’t know how it would be possible to implement that without it being gamed. It’s not fair that I should pay 30% tax on my minimum wage part-time Algebra tutoring job just because my soft

People painfully remove perfectly good wisdom teeth all the time just because it's convenient to do them all at once and on the off chance that they're preventing some pain in the future.

It is entirely uncontroversial and well-supported to say that there are many more extremely stupid, or criminal, or violent, or genetically ill men than women at the bottom of the bell curve. Why is it so unbelievable that there are more me

There are many, many small banks in the US; you can just buy one that already has a license. Certainly not insurmountable.

High coverage is necessary but not sufficient, sure. I don't think you can have a good test suite with low coverage (< 80%).

A no-interest loan to a non-family member is taxed as income to the borrower. They impute an interest rate and say that amount is income since a free loan has a value. I'm not sure what exactly the rate they impute is or how large the

My parents subscribed to this philosophy and by freshman year of university I was 5'10" and 126lbs. Didn't turn it around until I had programming money to pay for the gym and eat whatever I wanted. Still resent them for it.
