Maybe our perception of the 1960s generation is a good example of the spotlight fallacy.

I don't think so. I think access to the best minds in the field is much more important than good teaching. Bad teaching is an opportunity to learn how to learn independently--an extremely valuable skill.

I think the risk assessment should take into account more than just casualties. The risk of terrorism that scares governments is not necessarily the casualties (though that undoubtedly is a factor), but longer-term consequences. For exampl

I believe the $80mil estimate is from the criminal complaint, which derived that estimate from the data they collected from the seized server. The complaint specified that from Feb 6, 2011 to July 23, 2013, Ulbricht collected 614,305 Bitc

I can only interpret this as a power grab. This is not a sensible solution, it's an opportunistic solution. I think many people in modern society don't understand the power of data. The NSA scandal has shown how much people unde

I agree, there can be a lot of negative externalities from drug use. At the same time, there can be positive externalities. Everyone knows what these are. I would like to see more nuanced drug policy. Let's try to discourage the kind

| We spend at least 40 hours per week working for other people to become richer than ourselves. Sure, there are people like this. But a great number of people do this as a sacrifice to make their family's lives better. I find this pos

I wonder...how many people are not apathetic but scared to sign a petition like that? Also I think many people aren't apathetic about the issue, they're apathetic about the White House's laughable petitioning system.

Sorry, I strongly disagree. The people are not responsible for the actions of their representatives. That's the same logic that terrorists use to rationalize their attacking innocent civilians. It's also the same sort of &quo

I'm tempted to agree with you. "They're just trying to support their family" can only be an acceptable excuse up to a point. I don't know if Zynga reached that point or not. I just think it's important to keep in mind that you can only d

"When we read about great changes coming, we should be thinking about the great opportunities we're going to have and how to adapt to meet the future, not about "what to do when your job is gone" That's self-fulfilling horse hockey." I thin

I grew up in and around Bartow. I think there is very good reason to suspect that this may be race related.

I live right next to Bartow, and I have family who does live in Bartow. There is a very good chance that this is race-related.

We all know Sony fucked up in the past but that is no reason to automatically assume they did so again without any proof. Why not? When somebody or something repeatedly behaves in a certain way, I think it's perfectly valid to assume tha

I agree that it's a problem. But I'm not convinced that merely attracting more women to web development is the solution. As you said, the problem is that women are discriminated against in the industry. I don't think attracting more women
