I think the fundamental disconnect here is that there are, honestly, perfectly rational reasons to not do this. A dear friend of mine in high school has a sister with Downs Syndrome who is 13 years younger than she is. My friend's par

I can agree with most of this - the taxes of the disruptors destroying an industry should absolutely be used to help those displaced. At the same time, people affected need to be realistic. There is no protection for them, so complaining

A little more in depth, the article specifically mentions the depreciation of taxi medallions. "Medallions, which grant the right to operate a taxi in New York City, were now depreciating assets and drivers who had borrowed money to pa

There is the concept of ethos. We naturally identify certain groups as authoritative on a group because they are the ones who see it most. Ethos is essentially the idea of credibility, and we are more likely to accept the viewpoint of a v

So their plan for getting people who better understand their (likely best) practices for admin is to share their knowledge of how to administer a system like theirs? That's actually pretty interesting, and loads of respect to them for

I think it's also important to note that even people with useless degrees having higher earning potential simply by virtue of having a degree, and there is real social value in having someone who is educated in something for its own sa

Neither I nor my fiance drive, so Uber and Lyft are vital parts of our lives now. Even as a physically healthy person, it makes the life I want to live possible.

I think you're looking at it from the wrong end. Usually a dentist prescribes painkillers without finding out if you'll need them. Most people go "Oh, hey, vicodin", and take it because they have the prescription. This

You would be amazed in this instance. Mensa has a reputation for being very 'superior', very 'elitist', and that's the type of organization that is more likely to attract the more typically anxious or neurotic perso

Up until the WiiU, Nintendo had sold, if memory serves, every console at a profit. The issue here is that it's being bought without games. They lose money on the tech, and then don't make it up on the licensing.

It depends on your role and what you've worked on. For my former role, it was really easy to quantify what the projects I worked on did, because they were purely internal, I was a lead on them, and they were almost entirely geared tow

Depression makes sleep more or less impossible sometimes, and more or less unavoidable others. My SO has severe depression, and no symptoms of bipolar (which I would recognize due to my own diagnosis), but experiences times where he's
