A few thoughts: (1.) In high profile federal cases executions occur relatively swiftly. The reason it's slow in many cases is due to all of the procedural safeguards that we have in place to protect defendants. (2.) People often dismis

If I had to be incarcerated, I would choose a Norwegian prison over almost any other country's.

It's a bit rich for you to hold up Norway as a model for sensible attitudes towards punishment. This is the same country that sentenced a man who killed 77 people to 21 years in a resort-like prison. Regardless of your own philosophy,

Someone asked how she hadn't been indicted a few weeks ago, and I said that the investigation was ongoing but she would surely been indicted. Everyone following this case closely saw this coming.

Such a shame to see someone so talented working for a company that is lightyears behind Waymo and GM in autonomous driving and that is going to go bankrupt. I believe the last three directors of autopilot have quit in the last 3 years or so

The criminal investigation is still underway. I will be shocked if she does not end up in prison.

Garner's Modern English Usage is the final word on grammar, as far as I'm concerned. Other dictionaries are pathetic postmodern excuses for language guides.

"Already today, a portion of our European delivery fleet is comprised of low-pollution electric and natural gas vans and cars, and we have over 40 electric scooters and e-cargo bikes that complete local urban deliveries." Sad to s

The article doesn't mention how great this could be for reducing transmission of the common cold! I hate signatures, especially ones at a drugstore where every single person has to use the same digital pen. Since Square is still requir

The analogy is misleading in the following way: Hiring illegal immigrants harms low-skilled domestic workers and taxpayers. Prostitution is essentially a victimless crime.

I don't think this is a good summary of the article at all. It's mostly about why fiat currency is so entrenched, and why a lot of the things that cryptocurrencies advocates cite as weaknesses are actually strengths.

My offer letter says that I'm legally forbidden from disclosing the terms of my compensation. You should just fill in the salary boxes that you are under a legal obligation not to do so.

The majority of people who read things like this and take them seriously are weird socially and don't read social cues well.

I flew the coup on OneDrive when they reneged on their promise to provide unlimited storage. They still charged me $50 for the months that I signed up on the basis of that false promise.

This is kind of splitting hairs. Obviously it's not smart to build something with shit quality that won't last. To me, the biggest difference between a mansion and a McMansion isn't build quality, it's size. I probably w

When I saw the headline, I immediately thought "it's because of C-Sections." A few pretty graphs and thousands of filler words later, I discovered that — SURPRISE – it's due to C-Sections! Data visualization of the ble

I'm never in favor of any speech being censored (especially fair use speech), including in this case. But as someone who wants to one day buy a huge McMansion in Vegas just for personal gratification, fuck all of these self-righteous s
