I can certainly understand that there are unqualified people who apply, what I'm disputing is your assertion that there is a correlation between doing the contrived problems under unrealistic conditions and future job performance. It s

But.. why? Does that reflect anything close to the job they would be doing? Is handicapping someone in every way (You will google it for them), putting them on the spot in an already tense situation and expecting them to code while you watc

When people are so generously out there "helping people grow" in tactful ways, much of the time the benevolent helper doesn't actually know how to do that. People generally make what they think are rational decisions, it alwa

Wow, his family as well huh? Why stop there, do the soldiers on the ground share no responsibility? What about his supporters in Russia? Strange how that type of "justice" seems to never lead to a more just world isn't it? Wh

How would this work exactly? I buy stock in Oregon and live there for 5 years holding the stock. I then move to Idaho and sell the stock for a profit. How would you calculate what percent of the taxes should go where? Was Oregon doing somet

Why would people slow spending due to a fixed money supply? The money they have now could potentially buy more in the future, but at some point you have to actually buy the thing you need or want. Conversely in in an inflating currency scen

"Slightly Left" but the only journalist you trust is Rachel Maddow? That is a very interesting take, I have never heard Maddow described as anything remotely resembling slightly left, only as a caricature of the extreme left.

You are certainly in the minority though, given that millions of people drove much faster than 30mph daily for many many years with neither. Seatbelts weren't even required in cars in the US until 1968, airbags in the 90's. Anecdo

Forgetting the politics of this for a minute, given 2 choices 1. Do Nothing 2. Take a drug that might not help but almost certainly won't hurt, why is option 1 the obvious and logical choice? If I had some disease and hundreds or peopl

Is this about socialists, democrats, or the American left? I don't believe that restricting home construction is a tenant of socialism, the democrats nor the left. This entire article is just a rambling, semi-coherent attack against a

I feel like my doctor is in a better position to decide, if I don't like the results I can find a new doctor. If things continue on their current course that will no longer be an option as every doctor will be afraid to use their actua

Who decides what the best available science is? It certainly seems to me right now that "best available science" means "whatever the people in charge say". Here's a question for you while we are passing the popcorn,

If doctors are only allowed to parrot whatever the current narrative is, why even have them? This is such a dangerous road to go down, the US will tear itself in two if things don't change course.

Take a moment and look up Borderline Personality Disorder. "Walking on Eggshells" is a gigantic red flag. I suspect it might change your whole perspective.

The cheaper something is to produce, the more of it one can produce and hence the greater the supply. This only affects the price if there are competitors. If I want a widget, the total supply of widgets is irrelevant. For example Insulin

Wouldn't movie critics tend to be people to like movies in general? What about critics that stick to their preferred genre? They might start out pre-disposed to liking movies which could wipe out the effect of your assertion completely

I am definitely not a scientist, but speculating on race because of names you find to be too hispanic to be white feels like spectacularly bad science to me. This is not my field though so perhaps that is normal an accepted.

So, women are abused sometimes therefore doctor's must mask their numbers due to the Hippocratic Oath and HIPAA? Do the doctor's have to disguise their voices as well? Maybe they should talk in code. I won't pretend to be an

The price people are willing to pay is who determines the actual worth of the ticket. Doesn't matter if its from the ticket booth or the scalper.Do people sell tickets for less than the concert costs to produce where you live? Thats a

No, grandparent is absolutely correct. It's not magic, if they charged what tickets are actually worth, there would be no scalpers. That is not a libertarian fantasy or anything close to it, in fact it's not even controversial.

Couldn't you apply this logic to excuse doing any random thing? It might help so why not do it since we will potentially regret it in the future if we don't? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you but by that logic we shoul
