This line of thinking sounds consistent but actually isn’t: even if you’re against the government interfering in your life, you’re still entitled to the benefits that you paid for. Your line would only be consistent if the individuals could

The question was never "Is this censorship?" it was "is this justified?" which is also sometimes conflated with "is this legal?" Is it censorship? Yes. Is it justified? No, because YouTube doesn't operate

Restaurants didn't previously have to pay this 30% charge on everything they make , because they had dine-in to balance it. Margins were already razor thin, and then the virus hit and now the only way to do business is to fork over 30

If you care about your local restaurants and have the means to do so, consider calling in your order and picking it up yourself, with mask and gloves. Services like GrubHub take a huge portion (like 30%) of the ticket price just for deliver

My threat model doesn't consider state-level actors. I presume that they'll get me one way or another. It's the advertisers I'm worried about, and Apple doesn't use this data for ads.

I'm not sure if this is unique to Seattle but I noticed that they have parking maximums for some new buildings, and they reduced the minimums to 1 spot per 6 units for affordable housing. That's a major step in the right directi

With an oil collapse I would think this is a great time to move into Texas. I will be as proud to buy a Tesla from there as I am to buy one from Fremont. Perhaps he will relocate his employees, too, who can enjoy a lower COL.

Unlike secured loans like mortgages, the cost of default for unsecured loans is already priced in to the interest rate of the debt. Once it gets sold a third party, that's just a bet by that company that they can strong arm you into pa

I contend that the debt, after being sold, is not “real” any longer, and therefore the debtor has no moral obligation to repay it. Legal? Definitely. The original lender has written the debt off, probably gotten a tax break from the governm
