Why be desperate? Cryptocurrencies are the dream of scammers and money launderers and criminals in general. Let them burn in hell

Vesting is an anti-competitive practice for retaining laborers and we should be shaming all companies that practice it.

When you look at individuals, you'll never be able to truly say any treatment "worked" with certainty for virtually anything. It's same with nearly all medical treatments. Humans, very often, get better on their own with

Just because something can be measured does not imply that metric accurately depicts reality. Moreover, all metrics should be criticized as to what part of reality they are depicting and what part of reality they are obscuring. I've ye

The point of sending them to jail for a long, long time is to protect society from them. Honest people don't deserve to live in a society filled with liars and cheats and conmen. Send them straight to hell

Sending fraudulent people to jail for a long, long time is fundamental to running a healthy society. One of the reasons the US is a decent place to live compared to other countries is because we actually prosecute frauds and criminals here.

Well, duh. There's plenty of stupid people of ANY classification. But at least most doctors and engineers have proven that they can understand systems analysis and think critically, or they wouldn't have their licenses. Software e

What do you think reduces consolidation? Genuinely curious. I think there are other strategies that will work, but taxation is extremely effective at reducing variance of wealth distribution.

Easy enough to solve: tax wealth and redistribute it with a UBI.

I'm a strict egalitarian and have been doing exactly this, and always encourage others to do exactly this. I refuse to state my gender, race, class, health status, sexuality, or any other qualifier that could categorize me into being d

Completely agree. We should be aiming to elect doctors and engineers (i.e. people who understand Systems Theory) for political positions, not people who have prescriptive solutions.

Seriously. If you're aware of a mental pattern that you have that is making you unhappy, therapy can very often help. The first two steps are awareness and a desire to change that mental pattern. I've personally learned to embrace

Correlation can be shown to be causation when all factors are both known and controlled for. Controlling for CPU prices is one step towards that goal.

I take an unprescribed focus drug every day, and it works wonders for me: Caffeine. I genuinely function so much better with it, I have no idea how I was productive at all before it.

I couldn't care less about the Indian caste system and instantly ignore anyone that talks about it. Just because its relevant to you doesn't make it relevant or important to me. I'll treat people as individuals regardless of

Censorship is certainly necessary on some level. Child sexual abuse material, for example. Animal brutality material, rape/snuff material, and so on. I do NOT want this stuff shown to me, ever, and I don't want anyone else in soci

Metrics-driven product development sounds like a good idea but in practice ends up being Cargo Culting. That's usually because people rarely reflect on the metrics they're deriving meaning from, rarely abandoning ambiguous metrics

I'm seeing a lot of anecdotal evidence you're using to justify your biases. This isn't an attack on you; I think you would have a tremendous amount to gain from a science education. Please consider it for the future of you an

Frankly, people who buy into anti-vaxx ideology are victims of mass propaganda campaigns. And all of us suffer because of those mass propaganda campaigns.

City planners have a wide variety of opinions about this, and all of them are pretty useful. Most of them will mean a decline in effective property values, which is almost ALWAYS strongly opposed by the public.

What will happen to Chinese games on Steam? I will be profoundly sad if they disappear. For example: Dyson Sphere Program is one of my favorite games of all time. If that's gone, I'm going to have a hard time not making the CCP my

This looks cool, but I don't use proprietary operating systems for my work environments. Is there any planned support for X11 or Wayland based desktop environments?
