Republicans have completely given up on cities and without being able to even field a worthy candidate it’s the sign of a dying party longer term. You simply have to have some influence in cities. But they had none after a 20 year run where

Good to see California coming to its senses after years of fever dreams. Disparaging their tech blessings and holding their biggest revenue source in contempt out of jealousy was a losing strategy. Hopefully those people are marginalized mo

A ton of regulation happened after 2008/09. So to even become a public entity it’s a ton of effort and expense. And scrutiny. Not saying the laws are bad (but overdone) but the side effect is that small companies with upside don’t go t

Different humidities and it makes a big difference. Also less stress on each component and they have very long warranty’s so if they break it’s on them.

Samsung makes bad fridges. I bought a Sub-Zero. It has 2 compressors (1 for fridge and 1 for freezer), is made of high quality parts so will last 20+ years, has excellent service guarantees, and is made in America. Highly recommended.

I’d expect foreign investment to explode now that investors can feel more secure that the socialists won’t steal them. This landslide will bring some stability and buy-in and now is the time for them to as aggressively advance their objecti

There’s a few nut-jobs in the deaf community that cause a lot of trouble. The same people that are against “curing deafness” because to them deafness isn’t disability to be cured and any work towards that is an insult to them. Not worth lis

The UK doesn’t even have a single sourced constitution. Just random things from random times in random documents. Parliament is essentially king and can just make any law it wants at anytime with a basic majority. Nothing is codified. There

So then they’re not a monopoly if you can just stop buying their products and buy another. Another that also happens to have more market share.

Well it was a really hard job to get for decades. Had to know the right people. Was lucrative.

I think they’ve really let up on it recently. Have had a few rides where the driver was clueless and had to punch it into a GPS. Never happened to me previously.

I’ve been to London a lot over the years and I’ve noticed black cabs have changed the last couple years. It used to always be a native Londoner who passed the knowledge and got access to driving black cab. But recently I’ve had some black c

Who wants a big pocket of heavy coins? Can keep in a wallet and just about anywhere is happy to exchange for larger bills if you’ve acquired too many.

Indeed this has to be ridiculous. Anyone who actually does this deserves whatever fate they receive. I don’t believe this is a thing. Shared needles? Sure. Transfusions? No.

It’s not just pulling levers. These are manufacturing jobs that require some skill development. The starting pay is above median for the area. There’s plenty of college educated people that are unemployed that refuse to enter this kind of w

Do we even have people to work in the factories? I know a guy who started as a worker and is now a plant manager and he says their biggest problem is finding qualified people (high school or equivalent) that are willing to show up every day

Sounds messed up but clearly there’s an opportunity to sell insurance for this type of event. Sort of unbelievable existing insurance doesn’t cover it.

Being an expert, while nice and valuable, isn’t a claim to be a final arbiter. Authority is earned provisionally by surviving criticism. Citing experts is good practice, but invoking them to silence dissent is anti-scientific.

Sometimes they’re right. Lab leak people dismissed by experts for example. I guess there’s a spectrum of fringe ideas. Some are ridiculous, true. Trolls. But they have no power of policy - flat earthers for example are harmless. The more da

I guess it depends on the topic. Flat Earthers - yeah I’d agree. Until someone comes up with compelling evidence. But those people have no real power - no ability to set policy based on their belief. Just cranks and harmless. But it’s not f

Agreed. Fringe beliefs die when they are challenged, not when censored. Driving them underground makes them stronger if anything. Policing fringe beliefs is dangerous. A free society must tolerate & even welcome such beliefs into the pu

It’s not surprising that aspiring economists prefer the theory which loads them with power.

by nemo44x 1y ago
This is exactaly right. To silence even offensive ideas is to appoint someone as the final arbiter of truth — something history shows to be dangerous. Truth doesn’t need protection — it needs criticism. Censoring ‘offensive’ or ‘sacred’ ide

And I’ll say if it is overreach, which it well could be, it too will be punished in due time. Previous regimes largess is currently being punished. Endless cycle.

I don’t know if the means matter much - the outcomes are the same. One side could rely on their activist group networks to pressure decision makers and the other side is using their corporate connections to do the same. The government isn’t
