I am having a hard time believing it is just simple entitlement - most people who are anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, verbally abuse waiters, cashiers etc tend to be bullies. They tend to just pick people who usually can't fight back and r

Are you only thinking of the equation a + b = c? Maybe in this case it is limited, but if we try anything like a + b + c = d, then it might be quite a large list to check, no? According to the website below, there are 5,454 four letter word

I wonder if C is an unsolvable problem. There is some progress being made (revenge porn laws for example), but for the most part, law lags behind. Even if we had robust laws, I doubt law enforcement has the interest and resources to go afte

It would be a long time before we run out of oil. Given that solar is becoming super cheap, our reliance on oil will keep reducing. What is likely to happen is change in political will to keep the ban - you know, the usual bribery and the t

Jeez! 59 year old guy with the same salary for the last 10 years. People working in 100 degree temperatures with no air conditioning. This is depressing to read :(

You have a multi billion monster on one side and a teeny tiny app on the other side. I don’t think Apple is afraid of Amazon or anyone else. It just makes sense to side with a fellow Goliath than with some unknown app. There is no upside in

Good on him. That said, they will find some other young but starving martial artist and record all his moves. He may not be as famous as Li, but he will be cheaper and easier to manipulate. I wonder how far are we from making movies complet

I've met people who agree, and people who disagree, but I've never seen anyone change their minds. I've had the same experience. There are people who will not give up (or even reduce) meat no matter what - they are fully aw

We can't quit oil & gas overnight, the world will come to a standstill. But if Twitter were to disappear overnight, it would have zero effect on humanity, isn't it? In other words, he could have joined any number of good compa

Does it take one full year for a FOIA request to complete? Why does it take so long? On the other hand, the document does seem thorough (I only skimmed it) from a first glance

I am not the one who posted the comment above. Whoever downvoted the comment (at the time of me writing this) above - can you add a comment why? This seems like a reasonable comment. I see more and more reasonable comments simply being dow

Not your parent comment, but the U.S didn't enter WW2 until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, immediately after which Germany declared war on U.S. Right?

It is pointless to compare the misdeeds of one superpower with another. Nobody becomes a superpower without doing shitty things, both at home and abroad. If we debate which superpower is least shitty, we’d be here all day. Also, we are well

Didn’t U.S pharma companies used to sell drugs overseas that is banned on U.S soil? I don’t know if that is still the case. While collecting data like fingerprints etc is bad, collecting DNA is on whole another level. Imagine using it for i

I feel the same. I think with movies, we don’t have put in any effort at all. We just sit there and watch. With books, it is a lot more effort - not just reading, but imagining while reading. Maybe that extra effort makes it more enjoyable

The sum was intentionally impossible (equivalent to about 18 billion dollars), Assuming this figure in today's money - we have a country of more than 10 million people who can't afford to pay 18 Billion, and we have at least two

For climate change, is it a problem of intelligence though? We all know plastic is bad, but most of us don't care. Most of us know reducing meat consumption is a good thing (for environment and otherwise), but most of us won't ent

Not saying you’re wrong (I have never met a drug dealer in real life) but I have a question - shouldn’t it be much easier for drug dealers to sell their product vs say, a furniture salesman? After all, there are no furniture addicts but th

This site is neat! There is thoughtful commentary on each book in each list, on why it was picked. Very cool. This can be a starting point for anyone to learn about pretty much any subject.

If you yield to a patent troll and agree to give them some percentage of your earnings, and later that patent gets invalidated - you still have to keep paying. This broke my brain. How does this make any sense whatsoever??!!
