Specifically, this is more of a disincentivization of good behavior. People who scrounged to pay their rent, people who cut costs, people who moved to cheaper areas to live within their means. All of these were punished. It's analogous

This really does feel like nobody seems to understand second order effects. Either that or somebody up there in power is really invested in the current dysfunctions.

How about incentives. Incentivizing bad behaviour for a feel good doesn't tend to end well.

That's fascinating, I wasn't aware that they actually did that to allow for semi private tracing. That's going to be hell to explain though, as you've already mentioned.

The alternative has always been to not blindly trust, but to validate when the circumstances seem suspicious. "trust but verify" , after all. This goes 10x when there's a distinct partisan political slant /objective in t

We're simply more capable. That's really all there is to it. Animals are not limited by some magical conservationist instinct, they're limited by capability and environmental limitations.

That is 100 percent unadulterated bullshit, that's what it is. Animals will happily grow their population till they ram their heads into whatever limit they reach. They're not constrained by thought or conservation, they're c

As others have said though, the issue with housing isn't the building, it's the red tape. Want to build high, nope, can't get the permit. Dense? No. Mixed use? Def not.

Pretty much. The next controversial thing with really suspicious surroundings will still be rebuffed in exactly the same way. "trust the experts".

Morality has little to do with science, and this case is not different. For an extreme example we determined that murderous psychopathy was related to a developmental hiccup, would you be surprised that people would call it immoral or dange

This is a common misunderstanding in another group I converse with. Left in his context refers to the American one, which refers to an overarching field that is represented by the American progressives and includes the moderate dems (center

Agreed. If we're using education and related achievements as a barometer for "not idiots", the American ruling class are hardly uneducated dimwits. Those at the highest rungs of power in politics, academia and the mass media

So China, which is currently bullying all its neighbours in southeast Asia, most of which have good ties with the US? The same China that constantly pokes at the boundaries of every single nation it borders? And Russia, which literally anne

This sounds worse to me? Rather than violation of a relatively small privacy (phone number), you instead get timestamp social graph interactions in the physical world. This seems like fat more extreme an invasion than the former.

And here I am, sitting in 98f, 80+ humidity, along Millions of others in my area. Somehow, I think that either human genetic variation is so large as to allow such drastic survival rate differences, or that the relationship between sids and

I'll say this though, I'm one of those who would gladly take an in office position. I've found that I'm significantly less productive during wfh.

The funny thing here is that I went with zfs lately because it saved me money. As a poor student trying to maximise gb/$, raid6/lk was the move balance point between capacity and redundancy.

One of the biggest issues here is that they flagrantly aimed to mislead the consumers. They switched drives for an established line with dramatically different performance characteristics. They then proceeded to avoid declaring this, nor di

I'll go one step further against this idea that "oriental" is some offensive term. Where I am, smack dab in Asia, oriental is used without an issue, being included in the names of buildings and companies. I'm betting tha

And their ml competencies. They were the first to market with high quality inside out tracking. That was the game changer for low friction vr. Even now they're a distant first place there.

Therin lies the rub. With options, you're making a double bet :first that it is overvalued, and second that you got the timing right. If you're wrong on either, you lose money. You don't get the really huge blowout risk due t

Because the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Just look at the state of Meme stocks now.

I strongly agree with reducing red tape for biomedical testing, but this is a drastic oversimplification of the current scenario, and of vaccine efficacy.

Isn't the college cost problem a prime example of a market intervention? Special case undischargable debt that only applies to student loans.

The US left aligned view on this is also beyond that of most of the eu. They've basically come to differing consensi on what limits to engage, whether they be waiting periods or time periods.the US left would despise German abortion la

They're, from my perspective, further in to the right than the average repub. Huffpo is sorta where I would put them, if you want a left analogue.

The best measure of truth I've found is when someone reports something that goes against their own interests. I use that as a rough barometer of reliability, amongst others.

It's a weird left wing wedge issue too. The point of a wedge is that it cleanly divides. They're thus bipartisan, almost by definition.
