This is such a well known fact that calling it unsourced is like calling a claim that the sun rises in the east unsourced. https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/107-children-in...

Would you take a smiling photo at the Lincoln Memorial. It is also a monument to a murder victim.

It’s a matter of scale. The number of people like your Swedish couple was much lower than the number of people like them today. Film wasn’t free like Instagram is.

Yes but you can’t change the pricing of something by 25% to make it auspicious.

You can see this phenomenon in American football where the pretty good quarterbacks often become great coaches but the very best quarterbacks rarely do. The pretty good ones got good by being very detailed students of the game, memorizing t

Interesting to see Den Spiegel sympathize with the people who “no longer feel comfortable in their neighborhood because they have become a minority in the cafés and restaurants they traditionally frequented.” That’s one of the main complain

Not sure why it would. Companies would still market the drugs they had.

I can say with confidence that >90% of new small-molecule pharmaceuticals would not be created in a patent-free world. Now, not every new small molecule drug is important, in fact probably the majority aren’t. But those that are, save a

Sorry, I don't try to reason based on anecdata about who I know. Slicing by marital status, age, AND race is hard to get but you can get each pair of two from this report and triangulate: http://assets.pewresearch.org/w

21 year old black mothers are likely to be unmarried without college degrees. 21 year old white mothers are likely to be married and are likely to hold or someday hold a college degree. They’re two entirely different populations and scenari

What would be really classic is if this was funded by Microsoft to sicken Amazon’s white collar workforce and make them more easily poachable.

Things change, whatever. Burning Man is now it's a luxury art and music maker festival where the rugged conditions are part of the appeal in the same way that they are for Mount Everest. If you want the old Burning Man you'll have

They needed black LPs with lots of money... engineer or doctor money doesn’t make you an LP at A16z. Where are they going to get them? There aren’t too many black startup founders or hedge fund managers. So they went where the money is. (I’

Well these are “cultural” leaders so they are going to be in pop culture and similar professions. The Ben Carsons and Lonnie Johnsons and Robert Smiths aren’t cultural leaders.

Good points and probably why the bulk of momentum in open source has gone from community projects to corporation-backed projects.

To me, the worst consequence of the App Store tax is that it aligns the interests of Apple with app developers rather than users (who ultimately provide Apple with much more revenue). Apple promotes things like “Top Grossing” because it mak

They do, because I don’t murder or rape. Funny how that works.

Murders should get the needle, child rapists a life sentence.

I’d rather get the low level druggies out of jail and then treat prisoners like shit. Murderers, rapists, and thugs deserve to be brutalized.

Child rapists shouldn’t ever be let out of jail, so it’s irrelevant what happens to them there.

This is like the age-old "hack" of creating a landing page for a B2B startup that doesn't exist, to gauge demand and build a marketing list.

I am saying that the more that life in prison encourages behaviors that will be constructive outside of prison, the more likely that ex-prisoners will succeed outside the walls. For example, it seems like right now the best things you can d

Everything should be much worse on the inside than the outside. You can use your job to get yourself a single cell rather than a shared cell, etc. and since prisoners are largely able bodied men they should be able to make enough money to d
