The killer app here would be to license or safely mimic some classic office layouts: Mad Men, The Office, Silicon Valley, Parks and Rec. Or even the USS Enterprise. Or, an “App Store” for interior designers and artists to sell office space

There should be a name for this kind of article, this sort of know-it-all hectoring that occurs in so much media now. It goes well beyond the technical fields - think of how many parenting, cooking, and athletics blogs and articles hasten t

That would be much more than a shot across the bow, given how much the Russian economy and federal budget depends on gas revenues.

Mexican drug cartels have diversified into other industries, such as avocados. They employ the same tactics as they do with drugs in order to monopolize production. Legalizing drugs would eliminate the risk premium, but both fentanyl and av

Agreed with this, because it gives you a relatively direct upgrade path in case you want to start using GitLab Enterprise.

Not me, which narrative do you mean? Perhaps one that is anti-work and pro-UBI?

You're not going to believe me, but if not, it's your loss: Richmond, Virginia. It absolutely ticks all of those boxes, and does so with an offbeat gusto.

To paraphrase Feynman, the odds of winning the lottery are essentially the same whether or not you buy a ticket.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ling+ling+boppin&t=fpas&ia=web … returns plenty of results. And hip-hop is a subculture of pop culture that is dominated by and mostly caters to young black people. Let’s assume the best of

You make a very good point. Regarding the Korean example, I’d conclude that Koreans are more likely to get involved in organized crime in Japan because of structural factors of Japanese society and economy.

One proximal but surely insufficient explanation is that assaulting Asian people has become a trope in hip-hop over the past couple of years (e.g. “ling-ling boppin’”).

Just to explore this: what exactly is your objection to the often-cited observation that black people, who are 13% of the population, commit 52% of the violent crimes? I don’t even know if that’s accurate - if not, then surely that’s the b

I can’t speak to the other three points you made - though they sound reasonable and plausible. But divide-and-conquer is certainly being practiced in America today, both within ethnic communities and between them. It’s a nasty game orchestr

One way to fight these biases is to remind ourselves that it’s a very small percentage of any demographic that commits violent crimes. It might be more useful, then, to say “99% of X people are never violent versus 99.2% of Y people.”

The crowd is also attacking the white female passengers, but black-on-white crime is generally ignored by the media, including in this story.

There was a screenshot of the video, and sadly your hunch is correct.

True, it’s very difficult to see what iOS apps and iOS itself are doing. And we can assume that third-party apps are collecting whatever info they can - even after 14.5, when they presumably disclose what they’re collecting. But, can’t we

You can’t enter without an Amazon account and the app on your phone, I believe.

His adoptive parents were part of a circle of people who, in the 1970s, suggested that up to 70 million Americans might have to be interned and executed in order to bring about Communism. And to be specific, they felt that this would be an

Once upon a time, when friends or acquaintances would complain about judgementalism, I’d tell them that to judge is normal and natural, that we as human beings are equipped with judgement for a very good reason, and that they truly would no

Please don’t chalk me up as some kind of Marxist activist, but: that padlock probably says a lot about the addictive nature, pricing, and perhaps engineered scarcity of Red Bull.

Why would a genetic cause be implausible? Genetics guide human behavior. It seems very unlikely that behavior doesn’t vary among ethnic groups, but many other phenotypic factors do.

Not to be snarky, but isn’t every part of a successful organism an evolutionary marvel? If not, then perhaps a more interesting tale would be to look at the bodily systems that are substandard garbage. I’d probably start with the lower bac

Genghis Khan was Temujin. They weren’t separate people, as you suggest. You make a lot of incorrect assumptions, too many to list, really. Honestly you seem a bit deranged.

I don’t think the Uigyurs would agree with that statement. Particularly the ones that are being raped and re-educated in camps.
