> Plenty of high prestige world cities like Tokyo or London or Paris aren't known for their pro sports teams. They seem to suffer little for it. For a while, the Olympics were able to basically threaten their way into huge subsidies

I believe college used to be much more about being close to the cutting edge of knowledge and research (thus why instructors have historically been research professors), whereas now it is more like an extension of high school.

I believe the concern here is whether a group of people who live in a state and are governed by its laws have equal rights and democratic representation, or whether they're treated as a lower class of citizen. I don't think citing

I think it's even better if the burden of proof is placed on the prosecution (as it should be): 1. The prosecution must prove I returned the kettle in a damaged state (they can't). 2. They must prove I received the kettle in an un

Not the person you asked but I’d guess it has to do with managing the emotions or anxiety that lead to the bad behavior. The way I think of it is I don’t want to teach the dog to overcome negative emotions, I want to help them not have nega

By all accounts (including a friend of mine) he was a wonderful person, mentor, coach, etc. back in the day. It sounds like maybe he developed some mental issues that eventually led to both the cheating and suicide.

Irrelevant. Markets work well for society when there is a lot of competition and when winning is aligned with social good. If we can change the rules to help the second while keeping the first, it’s a win win.

Even at the startup you’re a cog in the machine. Your boss decides how you spend your time. If some of that time is on preventing bugs, and there are things you can do to get better at preventing bugs? Do those things. The rest is not in yo

There will never be fewer electric cars either. I think this is a significant concern as whether demand will outstrip suply. Hopefully charging stations will be lucrative enough, or hopefully good supply/demand competition kicks in --

But there are several places where the majority of the text is about covid-19 precautions. Example: > Go to the basement or middle of the building. Stay away from the outer walls and roof. Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet

I always found this aspect of 'copyright' very confusing. I still don't understand the legal basis here.

#3 -- agree, the word list is also really nice. A bunch of plurals or conjugated verbs would really bring down the experience. But that would have been easy to overlook.

I don't think this is a solution, since modern fingerprinting methods go far, far beyond IP address.

To expand on this, there are problems solved well by competitive markets and problems that are not. If the above were in the first category people would have solved them and we wouldn’t be talking about them.

I think to a large extent this is a mythical man-month thing. Beyond a small scale, you probably can't improve or speed up operating system design by throwing money and person count at it.

Others have pointed out some problems resulting from gentrification, but another is that of your home price rises a lot, so do your property taxes and you can still end up priced out of your own neighborhood that way.

Another question is exactly how far ahead the NSA is. Remember their budget was estimated at $10 billion back in 2013, more than facebook’s revenue at that time, twice what Twitter’s is today. So picture two companies the size of Twitter wo
