I dont agree that tech is unrelated to mental health, but I like how you ended this comment. It shocks me how few parents actually listen to their kids. Even the otherwise good parents who invest enormous time and energy into their kids wil

How do these companies survive? I can't imagine re-writing your code base on a whim translates to increased revenue.

I think he's exaggerating. The workplaces I've seen aren't nearly that bad (and definitely don't have 27 year old managers).

It should be noted that FB stopped using DP problems in interviews for this very reason (they measure how much you've practiced rather than innate intelligence).

It seems like a completely different argument to me. He's not arguing that committing crimes (or being involved in events that may be legally deemed crimes after the fact) means that someone _deserves_ to have force used on them. He&#x

Except a hundred years of experience has shown us that "regulating drugs until they're no longer in existence" is not possible. What actually happens is drugs become more expensive and more dangerous. You bring up legally pre

I'm guessing that's because you don't do cocaine.

The problem with this is it's biased against poor people. Rich addicts can afford to only be users, but poor addicts are the ones that need to deal to support their habit. So if you jail dealers, you're disproportionately jailing

Most US offices I've been too will tell you beforehand that you're seeing an APRN/DNP instead of an MD and ask if that's okay. Besides, I haven't seen much evidence that APRNs provide worse quality care. More hours

It's funny that people are criticizing YouTube here for stifling free debate on a scientific issue when it seems DeSantis explicitly selected only scientists from the Great Barrington Declaration to join the Round table. There was no f

It doesn't just look like white supremacy, it has the same effects and acts as a convenient cover for actual white supremacy. The difference is really splitting hairs in my opinion.

On top of that a lot of them are really unfamiliar with the withdrawal affects of ssri's. When I was tapering off of Paxil my psychiatrist seemed to think that withdrawals were just going to be a couple weeks of mild anxiety. In realit

Well according to Wikipedia he's a white supremacist. So maybe there's a good reason why people don't want to associate with him in good company.

At my first job I assumed that the seniors at the company didn't know what they were doing since we weren't following certain "best practices". It took me a year or two to realize that there were good reasons why we were

Yeah, property _ownership_ not property renting. They work differently for a reason. When housing prices rise, owners are incentivized to sell. When rents rise on rent controlled buildings, renters are incentived to stay put, even if they d

How are you going to keep people out of the city without raising prices? Also how is that fair to people who didn't have the privilege of being born in a nice city?

Maybe socialization shouldn't be the point of work, but it serves that purpose for a lot of people. Social capital has been declining since the 60's (see Robert Putnam's work) and work is one of the few places left where peop

Don't worry. If they're able to invert a binary tree in under 15 minutes, I'm sure they can figure this one out too.

Please provide a source for the claim that the US poverty rate is twice that of Brazil's. You may be comparing the rates of people below the poverty line for that country. Being below the poverty line in the US is still going to be a h

Title is misleading. The tweet wasn't just voicing an anti-union opinion, Musk was actively threatening employees who tried to join unions.

How could their possibly be a connection? It's newborn babies that are affected by this, not adults. And I imagine, like most environmental issues, it will disproportionately affect poor people. As if bring born into a poor family wasn

Chomsky has demonstrated little understanding of "postmodernism" (whatever that vague term entails). I would take any criticism he has of French poststructuralist thinkers with a grain of salt. For example I don't think any o

Yeah, I used to think the JK Rowling thing was just another example of Twitter activists blowing a celebrity's words out of proportion, then I watched the Contrapoints video on JK Rowling. Now I'm convinced she's not only a t

I've been doing mindfulness meditation for around 7 years now (I also have ADD). It helps my focus a bit, but comes with diminished returns over time. I meditate for other reasons but I wouldn't recommend it just for focus. The am

How did you get "people are polite" from an article titled, "people literally don't know when to shut up"?
