Q: Was the police technique of “stop-and-frisk” found unconstitutional? A: The practice is not unconstitutional, but a judge ruled in 2013 that New York City’s stop-and-frisk program was carried out in a manner that violated the U.S. Consti

I don't think it's fair to paint supporters of 'stop and frisk' as racists. A friend of mine is a cop in Chicago and told me recently, to my surprise, that the biggest supporters of these policies are actually the ordin

Marine Le Pen is polling above 30% in France (in the same type of polls that understated Brexit). It's a stretch to claim that "nobody cares" because clearly there is significant discontent being expressed politically.

Money is simply a means to an end. If you don't know what that end is, it's easy to feel restless, directionless and miserable. ''He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.''

It's a shame that this election seems to have polarized (on both sides) not only a great number of ordinary people but many professional journalists as well. The public's faith in the rule of law is America's greatest strate

Give us a break. There's a world of difference between Cosby (rape accusations) and a tech worker who was fired at 51 weeks (1 week ahead of a vesting date), which almost everybody can read between the lines on (was likely a marginal

I believe pjlegato's point was that while idealism may attract many students into medicine, it's ultimately the profit motive that keeps them working 60+ hour weeks and taking call for decades. I have a few physicians in my extend

Email is the crown jewel - by far their most lucrative property. Verizon may be waiting to see if there's any measurable user churn due to the recent news, although that takes some time to shake out.

I think he's referring broadly to the fact that startups are net job creators whereas established companies are net job destroyers. In other words, without a continual stream of new startups and entrepreneurs, there would be no job gr

How would YC know if someone is poor when they apply? Just by what school they attended? I don't know the stats but I'd be shocked if the majority of YC's most recent accepted class were from ''Ivies'' (

That's a little like saying software developers spend all day googling for syntax. The "factoids" aren't very useful unless you know how to put them together and what to do with them.

Again just one person's perspective but it felt like the mal-investment from previous asset bubbles had been allowed to more fully resolve itself. Certainly that was the case with the dot com crash there was real pain felt throughout

This point is often lost in the debate over income and wealth. A public school teacher who starts working at 25 y/o and retires 30 years later at 55 y/o with a relatively modest $60k/year pension benefit has effectively reti

Here are some numbers to consider. $500k pre-tax is about $325k after taxes (SF or NYC). Spend 50% ($162.5k), save 50% ($162.5k). After 10 years of a consistent $500k pre-tax income (no burnout, no voluntary breaks, no unemployment), wit
