This would be great if health choices were being made by rational consumers. But when I break my leg, I want services quickly and I don’t have time or energy to price compare ambulances. Healthcare is not a marketplace that will have comp

Healthcare needs to be decoupled from employment and guaranteed to everyone. It’s time for Medicare for All.

Well, pessimistically it might not matter much either way. The employees with stock currently will likely be subject to a six month lock-up period after the IPO date. And it’s quite likely that the house of cards that is WeWork won’t surv

Veganism is not a health choice for most vegans, it’s an ethical one. Plant-based foods use fewer resources per calorie and do not require cruel treatment of animals.

Please, please, please use Signal instead. And tell your friends! Telegram has made very dubious privacy claims, but even if you trust the company, Signal has a far superior user experience. Telegram’s private messages are not enabled by

I guess I’m not a smart person and my friend group must be full of idiots because concensus among all of us — many of which who have lived in there — is that the Bay Area is terrible. I would never move back. The lifestyle is very hard, e

I’d bet money on the two being Crystal City, VA and Denver. The DC suburb makes sense for an East Coast hub, and it’s smart to be near the capital for DoD contracts. And Denver is a nice, growing tech city with an attractive lifestyle.

Time magazine is absolutely a right-of-center publication. Here’s a nice piece they published last week calling for more nationalism in the US: http://amp.timeinc.net/time/5431089/trump-white-nationalism-...

I think you are wrong. There are minor setbacks and reactions to liberalization of society, but ultimately the trend over the past many hundreds of years has been generally toward a more equitable and accepting society almost everywhere in

Inches? A yard stick? Millions of degrees Fahrenheit? I’m American and I’m embarrassed by this. This is science, make it easy for people to understand. Use SI units, please.

I agree that the broader point is true: each giant is using software (and hardware in some cases) to build massive infrastructure businesses (logistics, cloud, communications, advertising/search, etc.). But I think this analysis overlo

In both cases, the party establishment tried to prevent a candidate on the left from gaining power through deceitful means. They tried to rig things against Bernie and Sanders. That’s the comparison being drawn here. Does that make sense?

You’re right, the difference was that Labour was unable to prevent Corbyn from becoming the party leader, while the DNC was already decided on anointing Hillary regardless of her actual popularity or electability and was able to prevent all

No, the DNC absolutely rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders. They fought and won a lawsuit about the legality of this practice: http://observer.com/2017/08/court-admits-dnc-and-debbie-wass...

Yeah, AR is going to find it’s first killer application in the next year or two. But I doubt it will come from an established company like Snapchat unless there’s some network effect that an AR-application needs to be successful.

I’m very confused about the legal status of ketamine in the United States. It’s seemingly illegal (schedule 1?) but also there have been stories about ketamine therapy for depression symptoms and now this? I don’t understand US drug laws.
