I'll remind everyone that it was Democrats who passed the Jim Crow laws. Those laws were passed because racist, leftist people didn't want to compete (i.e. they were against the free market). That's what you get when leftis

Millennials (aka the crybabies you refer to) have not bought into the Protestant Work Ethic as you have. So while you think it's OK to slave away, work for free and abuse the State sponsored drug, they don't.

There are very good counter arguments you can easily find online. I'll give you my favorites. For intellectual property, it is not real property. Property is the category of things that are material and can exchange hands. Data, like s

Ellen Pao is on a power trip. Let's not forget she just filed a frivolous lawsuit against her employer. That's something that liars and other people without morals do, they try to take advantage of others by feigning victimhood wh

A Science makes testable hypotheses that are falsifiable. Economics and Psychology don't make falsifiable predictions. When something goes wrong in either of those fields, they always have an explanation - they're never wrong. Eco

Hi Mr. Economist. Lots of fancy terms there. Would you care to provide proof that mainstream economics is a Science? What predictions does it make that are falsifiable? How can we test and reproduce what it says about the world? For instanc

We know right where a bunch of aliens are: the bottom of the ocean. Incredibly, it's so hard to go there that it's considered a joke to suggest it, whereas with space it seems if it weren't for the problem of the sheer distan

Thanks for that. That's Psychology in a nutshell for you folks, this amazing "science". Now let's wait for a similar study for economics, the other amazing "science".

Tell that to the person that conflated the two when they said: > There is wisdom to be had in learning first hand why a bad thing is bad, rather than just being told it is forbidden. "a bad thing" is a variable. It's gener

> There is wisdom to be had in learning first hand why a bad thing is bad, rather than just being told it is forbidden. If people believed that, drug law would have a three-strike policy. So you see why I'm skeptical when people say

Facts don't matter for people that haven't been reasoned into an opinion. Check out Peter Boghossian's approach to helping people out of dogmas.

Thank you! I'd have trouble explaining to someone what the precise difference is but now I can wear my consequentialist hat and explain that they are different because they are used differently.

I very much agree with you. A zip code is a string even though it looks like a number. Likewise C/Java/Go "types" are tags even though they look like types. Real types are numbers that obey type algebra, which C/Jav

Thanks! I'll have to find that. Right now I have difficulty seeing how someone like me could become an entrepreneur.

Paul Hudak died after making a huge contribution to the world. The research field he set in motion will keep on benefiting people for decades to come.

Same from me. Brilliant, funny, I love the echo, this is really just way too funny. Too bad it hogs the cpu so incredibly.

So you doubt there are parents that regret having kids? You can prove yourself wrong in 10 seconds of googling. I won't help those who don't want to see the truth for themselves.

You got me curious. Can you explain? Etymologically there's no good word for map (mappa meant napkin, charta meant a sheet of paper) but 'tabula' was used in Classical times.

That's totally right which is why I never said anything to the contrary. You're crazy if you do FP without HKT though.

The internet is full of forums for parents to discuss regretting having kids. Do your own research. Also I didn't say (live-in tutor) == (being a parent). I said it's a way one can know what the path is like. Just like you can tel

> It is worth it, and anybody without kids who says otherwise knows not of which they speak. That's some gross generalization. Any childless bachelor could know what the "path" is like by staying over with a friend that ha
