If you are privileged with a good job and good coverage, it’s far better to be in the system we have now. Your chances of incurring huge costs are relatively low and you’re saving tens of thousands of dollars by not paying to benefit others

There isn’t just one cause but here are two I know of: Health insurance companies leave markets where there is competition. When an emergency happens, suddenly you don’t care which hospital you go to, you just want to live/make the pai

Still, there is no reason I can think of that the game described couldn’t be created right now besides it not being a very fun/Marketable game.

These are all great life lessons for anyone, not just for young people. I have used all of these on myself before and I probably need to be reminded about number 5 once a month.

I think what you are calling exploration through multiple sex partners is more of an urge to procreate, which would be different from what the study found in children, a systematic learning attempt to see if they missed anything. The sex ex

Let me just be the one to say your choice of topic for exploration is incredibly cringeworthy in 2020. Also inaccurate for some parts of the adult male population. Use a better example next time.

(Somewhat related) Although I’ve been out of the scene a while, it always felt like PC gaming was best when the GPU manufactures hadn’t just introduced a significantly improved architecture AND the consoles were at the end of their life cyc

They might slip on their deadlines during a global crisis, or they might just work more than they usually do (childcare and regular work). Childless people will likely naturally move ahead in their careers.

No. The reward is not having to do two jobs for the same compensation. If you’re childless, your reward is your freedom from this challenging time for working families. To get to the root of this...You are likely hinting that it is a choice

I agree. I should have said "how can the NYT not come across looking biased" on the issues of masks and climate change (or any issue with a scientific consensus that one side inexplicably challenges).

by cyberlurker 6y ago
I don't disagree, I see something that looks like a bias too. But on some of the issues (wearing a mask, climate change) the GOP is so off the mark how can the NYT not come across (appearing) biased? I've also noticed the past few

First thing that comes to mind: What was the financial or other motivation behind Mohammed bin Salman killing Khashoggi? It's a power move. Putin does it too.

The LSAT too. It's just a giant test-game. By the end of studying for it, I was reminded of how I used to approach StarCraft. Once you figure it out and spend enough time on practice, scoring in the top percentile isn't very remar

I'm obviously ignorant on this, but I would have expected anything short of munitions or fuel would not have caused this much damage on something as advanced as an aircraft carrier. The article mentioned that having fewer crew members

Who would say you're racist for showing that white engineer? Also...I'm not a minority, but I can imagine that if I looked around and there were none of my kind in a position of power, I'd start to think maybe I shouldn'

I would argue that the level of success and contribution despite racism, which is a significant hurdle, makes it so that nothing is being inflated. Also I get your point that at NASA and in the USA we have mostly white scientist until recen

As a white person who has experienced imposter syndrome at times in the tech world, I think I would have had a harder time overcoming it if I looked around and never saw another white person. Obviously that is not the case. I suspect giving

I've seen negative comments of people claiming this is fruitless and that it pretends to solve racism forever (here and elsewhere). No one involved in naming this thought that was the case. They are giving overdue recognition. I can&#x

I'm sorry this happened and thank you for sharing. We really do need to encourage a speak up culture. The most disgusting part of what you posted to me was keeping quiet for the good of the team. I'm sorry, but I don't care a

$50 a month for a family plan would be acceptable to me. Side topic: do parents who hand kids iPads to watch YouTube worry about the advertisements? That used to be a concern on regular cable television.

I think you overestimate how much people with disposable income value internet privacy. I'm sure Google has good numbers on this from YouTube premium.

I'd be willing to pay more as a subscriber (currently) if they took ads out of the website and podcasts. I've emailed them about it and got some response about how the ads allow them to provide world class journalism. Yes, but I&#
