I think you need to update your knowledge of the polls, as much as you may dislike Trump, he isn't down by 10+ points any more. Regardless, the media has convinced people that only the Republicans and Trump want to see something done a

But what evidence is there that these kinds of projects actually help the people they are trying to help? I mean, not every black person in America today is descended from slaves. It's kind of racist to assume that if you see a black p

It's pretty clear that the artwork and the initial description of this movie was really disgusting. Regardless of the actual content of the movie, it seems like someone at Netflix might need to be visited by Chris Hanson if they though

It's likely if this passes, we'll see companies use the pandemic as a reason to move out of SF. If these companies see that the city is becoming increasingly hostile to them, why would they stay? This is also the perfect time sinc

What are you talking about, there are, literally, hundreds of stories about why Trump is bad, evil, or an embarrassment in the media. Why would a few more stories make him choose a policy against TikTok? He is constantly saying the media li

Did you know that the Democrats are also not too happy with TikTok and the CCP? Biden even had his staffers remove the app. This is not as Trump/Republicans partisan as people think. There is a lot of bi-partisan support for TikTok as

The problem is you've now screwed all of the people who own the stock. So you diversify the ownership of this particular company, but all of the mutual funds, and other people who own the stock just get to suffer a huge loss? And what

This bill on the face of it is pretty dumb. Most billionaires do not have liquid assets that are easily converted into money. In fact, most of the people's wealth increased due to their company stock price increasing. In order to pay t

But if you put out a concept album, do you expect it to pay your bills for three or four years? I don't think that's a reasonable expectation. If you want to make a living off music, then you might need to put out more music, or d

Yes but it's probably really hard to prove these kinds of cases. However, Google appears to have had a large volume of evidence that would be really hard to overcome, so the prosecution has a really easy time. With a lot of smaller com

That story was complete garbage. After reading it, I don't know much about what the executive orders actually are. Not a single quote from the orders or a link so we can read the orders ourselves. We have summaries of the orders, but g

I think the one thing that gets lost in the work from home push is that it really takes good managers to make it work. You need a manager skilled at making sure that people are working at a good pace. Doing one-on-ones in person for a good

The problem is that many conservative/Republican areas are more rural. So you could see these opinions being related to the fact that these rural areas had fewer people getting infected, and these areas have never had as big a problem

It would be easy to argue that a furlough is worse. It gives this false sense of hope that airbnb might be able to hire them back. However, travel is likely not going to recover until next year at the earliest since a lot of countries have

Have you seen pictures from Portland? It looks like the site of a third-world battle field. I'm sure it sounds like minor property damage, but when you see what's happening, it's not as minor as you think. Remember, these are

You also need to figure out how many of those crashes are intentional suicides or a result of something else (such as someone having a heart attack and losing control of their car). Basically, you would need to figure out how many of those

This sounds like a good idea on paper, but allow me to frame this differently. The first vaccine will likely be slightly experimental because it was done rather quickly. This means you are effectively asking the government to set up shop in

There is another cost, if you try and fix a bug and break something else. If your codebase becomes so brittle that you feel like you can't do anything without breaking something else, that makes it unbearable to keep going with that pr

I think the problem is that even with breaks, you can still be mentally exhausted by the last interview or two. For a normal work day, I wouldn't expect people to switch between writing completely different algorithms and problems so o
