The key difference here, is that Japanese-Americans were imprisoned, and as such there were records about who, when, where and how long people were imprisoned. That makes reparations very easy - if you were imprisoned unfairly, you were ent

If continental drift were off by a factor of 10, it would be 500km from where it is now. And given that Greenland is about ~2500km long North-South, even if it drifted Northward the whole time, it’d still be mostly in the Arctic circle.

$80k is not a bad salary and I struggle to think of any Australian dev salary that is close to $400k. Additionally, with good leadership 10 x $80k would almost certainly outperform 2 x $400k developers.

Perhaps we as a society will learn that Twitter is not, and should not be, how we measure how society feels. Twitter is without doubt a net-negative on society and I'd be glad to see Musk drive it to the ground. The amount of "jou

Are you implying that a change in menstrual cycle isn’t “bad”? Because half the population would disagree. A 4 day late period could for some women suggest an unwanted pregnancy, and in a jurisdiction without access to reproductive services

How do you conculde that "criticism of #MeToo" is akin to "Nazis"? This just cheapens and dilutes the impact of the word and your argument. Nazis had/have a specific, violent ideology. Criticism of a hashtag-activis

Isn't a large part of electricity production around making things hot to drive turbines? Airplanes are very heavy so this may not be physically possible, but if you could run coolant pipes under runways, couldn't that captured hea

Realistically, because if you are blocking Javascript in 2022, you probably aren't in their core demographic. Slack, either the web version or the desktop version, will not work without Javascript. So its reasonable to expect that thei

This is not a bad idea - but speed limits have not changed to reflect changing cars. Speed limits are stuck at 100km in Australia and have been for decades - despite cars introducing anti-lock breaking, predictive breaking, anti-rollover te

That seems like a very pedantic distinction. Large scale investment and a leadership position within the first 9 month of company creation seems like a “founder” to me.

You aren't wrong, perhaps just not looking at the whole model. A cheap computer may not be a 'competitor' to Apple, but it could be seen as a substitute - another of Porters 5 forces. So, how does Apple position themselves ag

But that 12 litres of water doesn't "disappear". It sits in the ground, it persperates in to the air, it becomes a part of the water cycle. Its not like we are destroying 12 litres of water per almond (or I hope not).
