I think there is a simpler solution. 1. Land ownership should be an exclusively human right. Any ‘vampire’ entity (such as a corporation) that doesn’t naturally die shouldn’t be able to endlessly accumulate land. 2. The property tax rate sh

Is there really any such thing as free speech absolutism? Let’s say there are no rules about what you can say on Twitter. Carol tweets about not liking video games. In response 100s of trolls/bots start threatening to rape her. Alice

Have you mentioned that to your distant relatives? They might be more interested in x/2% (or even x/4%) of something, instead of x% of nothing. I guess worse case they would try to help with admin.

Since you are referring to affirmative action and hiring quotas as “real barriers” I would guess that you haven’t really been in a situation where you the first/only person of your gender or race (etc) to do something. In that case (si

I’m actually not all that surprised by this. Strangers are easy to talk to, most likely you’ll never see them again and they’ll forget you 5 minutes after you leave the room. You can be anyone with them. Why not be your truest self? Friend

I think that speaks more to environmental hostility due to social/governmental choices. The woman lost her mobility because the mayor didn’t clear the side walks. Not because of winter. If if we designed public transportation so it was

I know a handful of individuals who graduated from college at 20. All of them regret it. Starting their careers a few years early in no way made up for missed experiences or the social awkwardness of being significantly less mature than the

My understanding is happiness will revert to the baseline if you have a set loss such as going blind or losing a limb. But a degenerative illness implies continued increasing loss in which case you would not have a chance to get used to it

Personally I like subtitles because I can watch with friends/family and not miss any content, even when they are loudly wondering who a particular actor is, or what they missed when they went to get snacks.

One thing that helps me is knowing that as the person actually building it I have the power/final say. You can say no to features or build the features you believe are more important. It’s the pms job to convince you that their priori

I was one of the neighbors. I actually loved this event. The first time I walked by was right around the George Floyd protests and it was refreshing to see the police working with the local community (blocking off the street). So kids (and

Considering pregnancy can result in death (at a higher rate than kidney donation as noted elsewhere in the thread) as well as countless other long term conditions your 9 month limit doesn’t really make sense. But let’s say you could loan o

But it’s not. In no other case is one human forced to sacrifice their own body to keep another human alive. The fetus is welcome to continue living. It simply can’t live in this particular womb. If ‘pro-life’ people genuinely cared about th

Not only that but once half of the population has lost bodily autonomy why would anyone believe that their rights are safe? Today a woman can be compelled to use an organ in her body to keep another person alive. What’s to stop the court fr

I think you are correct about the current state of the field. However having seen some of the HCA decisions from the funders perspective I'd say that the tech development is the main goal. However tech development in this sense also in
