I'm all for nuclear power but I'd rather them not be located in seismically active regions. We've already seen the issues there.

The "criticism" section is on that article and has many objections. It is not accepted fact. > It has also been argued that rates of major crimes also dropped in many other US cities during the 1990s, both those that had adopte

A lot of "undesirable" markets have become desirable. The remaining ones, the market has decided has too many external cost to make such low prices worth it.

Where is the statistical evidence of this phenomenon? Yes I've heard the talk points that Joe Rogan has said. But where is the evidence that these policies have led to these issues? Places like Texas have a high homeless population too

I don't see a problem in that statement. The opposite would mean that you are born with ability and can't grow or improve it, which is absolutely false. The idea behind the statement is basically: people do not have to be naturall

I'm not sure if I buy the woke-alarmism that is rife on HN. Reading the framework, I don't see any of this "wokism." It seems like any other guided/misguided attempt to improve the school system that has already tak

Exactly, why should they? Seems like a meaningless bar created for no practical reason, just like 90% of the other stuff everyone learns in school.

It's a strong argument for ISPs to be a utility because of the access ISPs provide. Not just for business, but for survival. YouTube doesn't come close to the scale or level of importance, plus it is easily replaceable. TikTok jus

Obviously broadband is not a utility yet, although there is massive support to making it one, and it probably should be. But let's ignore the semantic tricks and change the argument slightly. Why is YouTube equivalent to Electricity&#x

You tell me? YouTube is currently not a public utility. Argue why it should be? There are plenty of places to publish videos. Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Vimeo, Daily Motion, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, etc. So it is obviously not scarce or d

It's true we can't "really" know. But I would bet a lot of money that republicans would be severely disadvantaged without an electoral college. Not much would change. The nation would still be 2 party. We'd simply h

This is how it has always been, though. Not everyone got a free newspaper in the 1800s. The political leaders of the day had various newspapers that were favorable. The fact and point remains: it's easy to start a social network. Just

I disagree. There are plenty of outlets, multiple TV channels, multiple social networks, newspapers, websites, etc, for Trump to get his message across. > And it is not easy to start a new Twitter or YouTube in any meaningful sense. Appa

If the US electoral system didn't drastically disadvantage the popular vote this would certainly be different. Defending free speech is meaningless if one person's vote is worth more than another's.
