"Most of the channels I may have been interested in watching have slowly descended into drivel: Discovery, History, TLC, Science" I completely agree. It's amazing how these once interesting channels have decided to go the re

You're thinking of this as if it were two local amateur sports teams, which makes it seem like it's absurd for the FBI to be involved. Instead, I would look at this as two multi-million dollar businesses engaging in corporate espi

I've called this concept in teaching "remembering the struggle". If a person is so far removed or such an expert in a field, they may not even remember what a person trips up on when they first get started. They may even ha

But sugar/starches are present in LOTS of foods. The question is: what makes indian different? Do you think it has even more sugar/starches than other foods? It doesn't seem like it to me but maybe I'm wrong.

"positions somewhere between a nurse and a doctor" I think this is what a physicians assistant and nurse practitioners are. At least that's my understanding. They don't have an MD but are able to do a number of diagnos

It's by no means a perfect analogy, but it's the closest thing I could come up with to compare to the anti-competitive practices of google/facebook/microsoft, which is what the OP was trying to do.

Imagine if google and facebook were calling up random numbers at each others' headquarters in order to recruit. If the recruiter ended up guessing a number of an engineer that they've already reached, they would hang up. If they

If your point is going to be valid (that sometimes regulations are legitimate protections) you must come with facts. Specifically: 1. What are the protections that the regulations give? 2. Are the actually successful? At uber and lyft&#

See my sibling comment to you, markdown. I think the helmet and padding came because of the rules, not the other way around. Also, just an FYI that high tackles (at the head) are also illegal in football. The "head tackle" was m

I think there is something even more fundamentally different between football and rugby that lead to bigger, head on collisions (and what makes the padding in football a necessity). Specifically, in rugby, the way you maintain possession of

I think the price of a self driving car will be very high, and the price of a taxi/rental service (which will no longer have a driver) will go down, making a taxi/rental much more attractive monetarily than it is at present. To y

The solution here is the same as the solution when Zuckerberg complained about employees leaving their jobs too quickly[1]: Pay your employees more. Figure out what kind of value they bring, and the amount of cost if they were to leave, an

Yikes this is a bad article. The author makes no connection to how the attributes he describes are more commonly found in athletes. What makes them generalists? Why are they adaptive? Why are they 'makers'? And even worse I think he miss
