Why would using something that's not organic be akin to slavery? Is using steel under heavy stress in bridges a form slavery of an unconscious object?

Things would go over better with communities if they had assurances with regard to local impact and if those were violated they’d have recourse. Also would help if they provided some token compensation (like the Alaska fund). It wouldn’t

Lee Kwan Yew identified this shortcoming along with the issue of many factions in India. Due to its huge diversity there is little pan-national alignment -everyone wants their own thing and prioritizes accordingly. Here's me Lee: htt

According to Lee Kwan Yew[1], apparently he identified two big factors: India's diversity is not its strength -whereas China's relative homogeneity allows for easier governance(no contending non-pluralistic factions) India's

They could at least address that the man and woman on the street would easily identify as people who need to be put in a paddy wagon. Leave the unsure cases alone. Get the obvious ones.

The more eyes the better the chances. Obviously it’s not total information awareness the likes one of the previous DNIs dreampt about. We see its imperfection if the fact that a very public case in an Arizona abduction case is basically col

The previous admin also ruled via executive order. It said it would find ways to do things even if struck down by the SCOTUS such as the school loan forgiveness, firearms controls, speech suppression via “embeds” etc.

I think thats asking much from people some of whom easily get scammed by phone banks in Eastern Europe, India etc. many people will not put in that effort.

That’s unworkable: asking a recipient unfamiliar with producers to know whether producer is reputable or not in advance and if the producer is unscrupulous you expect every affected buyer to follow up or be in violation of importation laws?

The results were predictable and predicted but politicians, state and local went whole hog on equity. That along with NCLB results on this catastrophe. We’re finally seeing some needed pushback. You can’t just hand out As to everyone and

It’s true we should not judge people by today’s morals -one can’t be a visionary and predict tomorrows morals; but, that said it seems those people strayed well beyond what was acceptable even back then. So there is room for criticism.

There’s a difference between childless by choice and childlessness because of natural infertility, etc. presumably the parents didn’t choose their children to be burdens and so we’d chalk that up to statistical probability.

Fair. They need to calculate the numbers and come out with fair payouts. Naively it would seem individuals (children) pay more in taxes than it takes to cover two years.

Makes sense since they don’t produce future taxpayers. They should also adjust retirement age based on life expectancy -of course people won’t like this but you can’t overcome the math. Separately, I also think airfare should be in part ba

I agree on the aesthetics drastically breaking from legacy but I very much doubt charvers will afford this car.

I’m not arguing for religion or that it’s good or bad only that one facet of that religion allowed for exploration (they had lots of time to think) and that along with stewardship of critical texts (books) fomented the European renaissance

There was a time when monks were the few who had time to dedicate to learning and discovery eventually leading to the renaissance.

They also seem to keep revolving team-members so you're always explaining things all over to new people.

There should be disincentives for poor performance, options to improve performance (training, counseling, etc.) and incentives for good performance (better raises, perks, etc.) to incentivize good employees.

Another issue with unions is that they should be symbiotic but often transition to parasitic. What I mean is there are times despite it being obvious the demands will drive companies into either re-org or bankruptcy proceedings they’ll go

In Asia these things have been around for decades -both for regular advertising but also for political advertising. That said, I would not be against banning them stateside. We already have too many ads.

The way the headline reads the CEO is AI and it forecasts being at human level in a year and a half.

But then it’s stated oddly. It’s more like bears are encroaching on human territory rather than people expanding into bear territory.

Wonder if people who decide to represent themselves would be allowed to use this service “live” on the courtroom. Usually people who represent themselves fall flat because they don’t know when it’s appropriate to invoke what and at time ap

I like the map. It's usually on track but sometimes it's quite a bit off. I've seen it say drought when it's been wet --maybe just not as wet as usual. It also doesn't indicate when above average and I do not thi

Specialization is a modern phenomenon. I have doubts that in ancient societies there was clear division in labor. I would suspect that lots of people were jacks-of-all-trades. One moment the bread-winner, another the reeve, another the wi

I doubt it. Of do we’d see the supermajority wealthy people having lots of kids. As it is now the people most apt to reproduce are in the lower strata of the economy.

You know old reddit, Flickr, etc., had ways of presenting content based on different things besides impulsive engagement.
