People learn from mistakes when there are consequences. You are witnessing consequences. There are far more, specific stories of misconduct on Twitter than those acknowledged in this article. If they are untrue, why not specifically say so?

I always considered that part of a much needed safety net for a professional where stagnation in the hierarchy is no option, but there are less positions at the top than at the bottom. So yes, a kernel of truth, but not necessarily a bad th

Easy example: Some entities are exempt from taxes, because they are not there to enrich individuals, but to profit a higher cause. Like Amnesty International. I think it is great that we exempt AI from paying taxes. Now it might be very dif

I cannot speak for Norway specifically, but there is, as far as I know, not a single openly gay player in the (male!) Bundesliga. Apparently, even high-status, well-earning men in progressiv societies can be vulnerable to disclosure of thei

So it is pretty identical to the n-word, in that it is a term for a minority that is rejected by the minority, and some members of the majority decide not to care, because they "do not mean it in a negative way". I am left to wond

To be fair, it has the benefit of having the choice between six pairs each morning (assuming they are not 100% identical). The disadvantage of course is that you might discard them earlier because fashion has moved on.

Nah, whole area of NYC would be in the right ballpark, but is still less.

I think the economic tradeoffs in buying a house are pretty country specific. For example, renters in Germany have very strong legal protection. It is very difficult for your landlord to kick you out, or raise the rent dramatically. I could

The amount of products I can buy for 1 USD was far more stable over the last year then the amount of products I get for one BTC. That's the kind of stability I am looking for in a currency as a consumer.

Isn't "putting money into Bitcoin" the same thing as "bidding it up"? Both actions have the same level of rationality, whatever that might be.

Not sure what GP is thinking of, but type checking for Excel would be really nice: ERR: A1 is USD/month, B1 is USD/user, so you cannot calculate A1+B1!

Gatekeeping "wearing a watch"? Are you sure to be an expert on class? Snobbery is not the best way to get people interested in your hobby. Isn't it great that people are getting excited about watches again? This article is ab

No? Susie has written 598 reviews. I think it is quite possible that 1) people within the "Amazon reviewing community" know her (by her online identity, and maybe also her offline identity) 2) friends/family recognize her pro

Not a very convincing post. I do not think the first review violates the highlighted policy, and I feel very uneasy with the disclosure of the songs played by the second, non-anonymized reviewer. Are you sure this person consented to you sh

That's such a strange way to argue. We use heuristics all the time. As I said elsewhere, the farmer is not a slave, that changes the equation. If all salads were made by slaves, beef might be the ethical superior choice. But it isn&#x2

Firefighters get something in return for being firefighters. Otherwise, it is slavery, and it is indeed feasible to argue against any slavery. The animals in the farm get nothing in return, don't have a choice. It is hard to argue thei

But then you will need the space freed from agriculture for the solar energy production, instead of forests? In the end, isn't a field of corn a massive solar energy plant?

The guys questioning the age of the Nebra sky disk (Krause and Gebhard) believe in the authenticity of a very questionable gold treasure [0]. From the outside, it appears that their gold treasure is clearly fake, and now they are trying the

Why not both? Surely this problem is big enough to try two (and more) strategies to solve the problem.

Why would that be? I would imagine "large scale industrial farming" to be quite efficient - animals don't get a lot of space there and are optimized to turn the food they are given into as many meat calories as possible. It&#

When I saw this list yesterday, I thought it is one of the best illustrations of the actual impact of Covid-19. Famous people are far more likely to be treated and tested adequately - and Covid-19 is fastly becoming a leading cause of death

Interesting observation from Germany: I have encountered some reports about 996 in main-stream media in the past weeks. However, the spin was that Chinese workers are proud to work 996, or demand not to work MORE than 996 - in essence: Brac

It's good for the LOCAL economy. Eating expensive lunch in a restaurant will increase local spending, but reduce your other consumption by the same amount. You create jobs by letting people work for you, and you get means to make them
