In the U.S. there's a hierarchy of freedoms. Fundamental rights, like speech and the right to a fair trial, are necessary to secure other "lower" freedoms if you want. You can drink outside in some places, like Las Vegas. The

That's just a way to twist the issue into a political dig against laissez-faire people. It's not a real defense because she's too powerful to need a defense.

Someone might also reasonably feel that more money for teachers does not, by itself improve outcomes. It's certainly possible for bad teachers to be paid a lot, which some people might call "being overpaid" even if there exis

So what's the "dangerous precedent" then?

If two people are making $150000 each, that's a household with $300000 in income. That's not bad for a stable government job. Also, I don't see why it's unfair to call a teacher or firefighter overpaid. If you work for a

Isn't that for long-range? I guess so, I just didn't know that was a major factor for typical hunters on a budget (who probably have cheap scopes anyway).

The article has some good numbers, but it's hard to tell how significant it really is in the grand scheme of a lifestyle. Everything has some risks and you need to prioritize somewhat. Not that I hunt anyway.

Why does hunting and practice ammo need to be the same? Is subsistence hunting that precise? And if you can use cheap ammo for practice, then I would guess the price of ammo for actual hunting wouldn't be very significant. A dollar ext

Then why weren't the charges dropped? Is it acceptable to put someone through a trial when the outcome is a predictable aquittal?

by chmod600 5y ago
The simple answer is that the trial is not partisan, and a lot of news engagement is due to partisanship. If Joe Manchin and Susan Collins teamed up to make a bipartisan death ray pointed at us from outer space, it would get less media cove

Interesting. A lot to explore there. How much is unskilled labor arbitrage versus specialization by region? What does "brittleness" really mean?

If oil was $10000 per barrel, they would power ships with nuclear or gasp wind power just like before. It wouldn't result in a silicon wafer fab near your house so you can have a locally-sourced smartphone. Even crops would come by s

So water transport just "appears" to be more efficient due to some kind of market manipulation or slieght of hand? What manipulation is the culprit? It can't be fossil fuels externalities, because water transport has been use

And if we did account for carbon properly, then would everyone get all their goods made in scratch from local producers? No, a lot of stuff would still come from 5000 miles away by boat. Because it is really that efficient, whether it &quot

"Shipping things 5000 miles should not be cheaper than making them closer to home." The word "should" is used to contrast with reality. Crafting policy around something other than reality is not a good start. Surely ther

The freeway is jammed by people who can't live close to their job and entertainment because of bad housing policy. Restricting the housing supply might very well be the cause of traffic, not the solution to it.

Interesting. What is a "silencer" then? Is it a different device or the same device used on guns that are less noisy to begin with? Or is the movie silencer a complete fiction?

Another way to look at this is, like so many things, a conflict of visions. Vision one is that college is an elite institution meant to bring together smart, rich, and connected people in a learning and growth environment. This is sort of a

That's not good or bad in the abstract. It's good for good ideas and bad for bad ideas. What is bad is that the tactics seem to still be battlefield-like tactics. Not literally of course, but major downsides for saying the wrong t

More than anything, this reflects how many business decisions a "programmer" makes. If a "programmer" was actually just a programmer, none of their beliefs would matter. Either it met the spec, or not. But in reality, a

Is the general wisdom that the executive function should be a separate co-equal branch of government (like the US), or controlled by the legislature (how I understand a parliamentary system)?
