I've been thinking about this for a while as well A question if you have time to answer - How many birds per sq meter do you have? What's your total land area? And how do you deal with accumulation of chicken poop? Thanks

No it wouldn't be ironic because all of that is allowed. In fact, existing tiktok users are welcome to keep the existing app on their phone. What's being banned is the commerce.

We live in a democracy. If you get enough people to vote for this platform, then sure let's do it. You can't compare a popular bipartisan law to a hypothetical thing you just made up. Peoples' votes matter

In reality, pretty much every study of business ever shows that consumers are price sensitive. And you sound like someone who has never ran a cafe. But by all means, maybe you cracked the code. You should open your store and make a lot of m

What? Really? Please read my comment, you will see that I have not assumed a perfect market. If I sell bagels for $2 each, and then I go down the street and see another bagel shop selling for $1.90 each, I might try to offer mine for $1.80

One aspect I rarely see discussed on these messages boards, but one of critical importance, is the role that in-office has on developing new employees over time. Imagine you are a new grad who just got hired but all the senior employees all

Not to mention China already banned foreign owned social media from within its own borders. So if nothing else, it’s just a reciprocal trade policy.

Note that china blocks all foreign companies while this bill blocks only foreign adversaries of the US (china, Russia, Iran, NK) while maintaining free trade with all the other places in the world.

> It took forever for the US to do anything about Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb breaking the law. And yet look how fast tik tok was banned.

The court also held that forcing tik tok to sell or be banned is lawful.

If you know how to do all of this, you probably make more than $100 per hour at your day job (maybe a lot more!). In which case you can jump through all those hoops, or you can just go to work for 30 minutes and then buy it.

Some people think sarcasm makes for a smart and sophisticated joke. In reality, it takes very little intelligence to say the opposite of what you mean. Once I reflected on it, I really think it’s such an adolescent way of thinking. If you t

Under this framework, what if you simply bribed people to vote for your candidate of choice: e.g. Here's 20 euro, vote for this guy. You could still say "The people who voted for this guy have agency and decided for themselves.&qu

You think we didn't get it because we weren't smart enough. In actuality we "didn't get it" because we extended you faith and respect as an equal participant in the conversation.

The humor isn’t recognized because the humor isn’t there. To be funny there has to be a setup, a punchline, some kinda joke structure. Humor isn’t just saying false things… Imagine a comedian saying this on stage, how many laughs would tha
