No, it hasn't. Tax foundation is a conservative think tank, they're not a trustworthy source for this info. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/W270RE1A156NBEA Every time I engage with a libertarian (always a

Do you have any examples of these jobs that are now more vs less productive? I'd say the average Starbucks / fast food worker are significantly more productive while making less comparatively. Labor's share of income vs capit

That's very clearly untrue. There are plenty of studies showing this is not the case. Almost all workers are significantly more productive but wages have remained flat for a long time.

Wow! Gotcha! Turns out modern economies are complex. Who knew? But our economic system is literally grinding to a halt, which means it's not exactly perfect. I for one welcome suggestions, even if they're only slightly less imperf

The DirectX graphics debugger in Visual Studio is a godsend. It lets you analyze ever call and check every buffer for any "snapshot" of a frame you take. Very easy to identify things like misaligned data, etc, that would be imposs

I started a DirectX (so, HLSL, basically identical from my understanding) and C++ project about a year ago. I hadn't worked with either, but managed to get a little window up and running within a weekend. That was mostly thanks to some

This is meandering, meaningless point. I have no idea what you actually mean here. How exactly do support groups for women in STEM tear at the fabric of society? How does it do so in such a way that actively excluding them doesn't (via

How do other issues bother you on a "fundamental fairness level"? Such as the incidents of workplace harassment in STEM fields that have been coming out in the last year? Or income inequality / options available to people by

I've been in enough of these conversations to know replies like this are just trolling and/or white-noise. Why NOT separate yourselves into an "us" vs "them"? Why should oppressed people try to "work toget

Did you even try looking before asking this? I can think of a bunch in just the couple months, mainly in regards to Uber and other SV companies taking concrete steps to fix their culture.

Haha, a friend took issue with my wording on freedom as well. I was talking about relative freedom within a modern society, whether it be free market or otherwise. As for the point on constitutional rights, etc, I was being a bit dramatic.

You're right about the Japanese constitution being written by the Allies. Without Allies defeating Japan, though, they'd have taken over large parts of Asia and could very well be more prosperous / free than they are now. I d

No: - Britain's own level of freedom doesn't reflect how they've treated colonies in the past. See: all of history. - The UK isn't as free as many other Western nations. See: their track record on surveillance (although

I usually throw a base of pebbles / marbles into the bottom of any pot before I put the dirt in, which also aids in draining.

Sounds like you're really stretching here. Share the road works fine as a solution without dramatically overhauling current infrastructure. Just don't be a mean driver.

Someone who unironically uses "virtue signalling" very conveniently signals that they're not worth listening to. It's kinda nice, actually.

A lot of students are pretty busy. And what are these horrors of college dorm life you're speaking of? Aside from campus rape, of course, but that doesn't seem to be a result of idleness.

I'm sort of confused about the annual management / support fee. Sounds like this would be a cool accessory that would require G Apps and therefore bring startups into the ecosystem. Why charge support for something so expensive th
