I'd be interested to see how household size has changed over this period. Household income by itself is weird, because an increase in personal income can lead to a decrease in household income as better employment allows members to

The court first needs a case before them. And appeals aren't just "do-overs", they often have a specific question to settle. Here, the question seems to be "is shooting this person under these circumstances a form of sei

As a general rule I never trust a news outlet to accurately summarize a supreme court opinion.

Are you sure they do in this case? Appeals happen as part of a complex process, and it's possible the question of whether it's OK to shoot a fleeing suspect may not have been before the Court directly. The Supreme Court has more p

Democracy is a tool, but doesn't reliably produce freedom or any other good outcome by itself. Individual rights and federalism go a long way to protecting freedom in the long term. Democracy works best when dealing with details, where

Individual vs. collective discussions often leave out the size of the collective, which is often the most important part. See: https://web.archive.org/web/20110822151104/http://irl.cs.ucl...

But people do exactly that all the time. And often they win, at least over time and with great enough numbers.

I agree that it's a "two-way street"; but that seems to contradict your initial language was that it was "[the newcomers'] job to integrate".

"They moved into a community and it’s their job to integrate with the community." Is that a broadly-accepted opinion? Does it apply consistently to all cultures -- e.g. does it apply when nonwhites move into a white area? And, doe

We can scale any problem into a worldwide issue if we use our imagination. But at some point, a local issue is just a local issue.

The US is more of a federal system which somewhat protects us. I doubt there will be a national law saying that local police should look for illegal chickens. So you just vote the local people out or move. Maybe I am too optimistic?

So a local sheriff is behaving badly. Sounds like those people should get a new sheriff. What is the larger significance here?

I don't know much about the early retirement crowd, but this turned me away from the idea. Financial independence, or at least some freedom, sounds great. But money is just a tool to some end. What end? Ultimately, having some output a

There would be a lot of value in independent organizations that can evaluate engineering practices. Non-technical businesses could just ask if you have cert XYZ before paying you. It wouldn't have to get into the weeds too much. I mean

I read once that Soviet propaganda was obvious whereas US propaganda was subtle. This was meant as a compliment to the US, because people couldn't get away with blatant propaganda. Now I fear we are moving more in the direction of blat

You touched on an important point: media manipulations have always been around. But it feels worse now because we are being manipulated against our fellow citizens. Traditional manipulations would just be to prop up politicians or corporati

Groups are unequal for all kinds of reasons. It's the norm. Some are "meritocratic" reasons, some are cultural, some historical, some due to prejudice and a lot (most?) are just happenstance. And these reasons also take part

That's a vague value statement. But it's meaningless without any concrete solution/proposal presented. It's easy to agree on platitudes. The disagreement comes when it comes to the implementation. That's my biggest

Politics is informed by data, but it's not a science. There is no "right" answer (though arguably a lot of wrong ones). Think of stuff that programmers do argue about. Type systems, databases, architecture, agile developmen

The left will never admit any agreement with Sowell, even about the weather. That's what the article is about -- he's completely ignored in liberal-thinking circles, and he shouldn't be.

Xkcd.com has a perpetual image link to that website (very prime ad space, given for free) with the text "how to help". It's not an obscure site and lots of people equate the site with the movement.
