Okay sorry and I didn't realize you had that capability for moderation, pretty helpful that you can isolate child threads. One thing I want to question is how to criticize and steer discussion away from certain directions on this site?

Why are you still trying altruism? Aligning the economic incentives to promote an outcome is much more effective at getting that outcome WE ALREADY KNOW THIS

you have to also show up and defend yourself. many summary judgements on flaky arguments are made just because the defendant didn't respond. the judgements are collected from you bank in any jurisdiction that will reciprocate

The government's not getting involved, oh you mean the fact that a judge is going to be involved? Civil courts exist to provide monetary damages if damages can be proved to exist. Yes, they can also compel arbitrary behavior as a part

I didn't violate any comment guidelines, which one did I violate? I think I added to the conversation and this is a also a reality I live in. Kickback and relax, emphasis on kickback, is way more effective in creating favorable politic

Tricky to win, but this would be more like a global sanction than a tax, semantics at this point I think we could accomplish it but not at a local or state level

ah, I see, the real point is isolated to the flaws in American culture for cohabitation. I can agree with you there, as the differences can grow without being addressed.

I don't think the US constitution would allow for that tax, written that way anyway. To pass a court challenge, the laws as written and the discussions around them have to apply to everyone otherwise it would be too discriminatory (5th

Just like in Romania, the meritocracy exacerbated realities behind academic advantages and revealed cultural quirks that weren't even considered. There is a lot of literature behind what those exact quirks in New York City, if you&#x27

New York City experienced a similar reality. They aimed to help poor and disenfranchised groups get into their specialized public schools, by forcing a meritocracy, as disproportionately wealthy and white families were accepted because admi

Great! Ive seen several communities move off of their own custom built sites into facebook groups A crude solution driven by the people simply being there

Maybe a groups and events app would have a lot of utility. They could probably bake it into messenger.

Just vocal ones. Not being on Facebook is met with bewilderment usually, so online its easier to find other people that are relatable by speaking up. Many people that are tied to Facebook share the same woes and may be looking for more insp

Outside of Silicon Valley, people are marginally bewildered when you tell them you don't have Facebook. Inside Silicon Valley you'll quite often run into someone that works at Facebook and they'll switch to a psych analysis a

People have to come to that realization on their own. There's a new sucker born every minute, and the way you target those suckers has to adapt to regulations. The way I realized it was when I went through ten year old yahoo finance me

Significant overlap in the concepts such as avoiding companies into firearms, profiting from conflict zones, tobacco sometimes and other vices. Thats the demonstration. Shouldn't bother you that much.

You can buy ICOs with eth. Did you ever consider that the currency part of cryptocurrency was a misnomer and has nothing to do with the value of the asset?

Apple could issue more bonds and use that cash domestically for buyouts if they wanted. Their last bond sale was just 8 billion. They can do whatever they want.

There are a lot of dubious companies on HackerOne. Why did taking a stance on this one have a perceived more positive outcome than taking any stance at all? Pretty much zero of the companies on HackerOne are part of any social responsibilit
