Chesa Boudin thinks their imprisonment is an indictment of our racist system of mass incarceration. He ran campaign ads showing that he is qualified to be DA because his experience growing up with incarcerated parents exposed him to the inj

The entire basis of elite status comes from the notion that not just anyone can attend. Your proposal effectively removes college as a signal of elite status, and thus people will organically invent new symbols that most will lack and we wi

APIs have versions. Facebook guarantees that the API for version X will perform the documented behavior. If it fails to, then it is probably a bug that they will have to fix. If the API were immutable, then the bug would not be possible to

Left off Windows 11. The new one is the most logical one yet. Don't like that much about Windows 11, but the control panel is improved.

Actions speak louder than words. The man explicitly is against the most basic duties of his position, and has followed through on that by not prosecuting people for all sorts of crimes.

Fossil fuels help industrial civilization, but I don't think it is the only option. We can produce fuels from organic matter. We can draw on hydro, wind, and solar energy. Even without advanced processes. Maybe industrial development w

That's the real reason it "won't work." Enormous vested interests oppose it. Of course, an engaged and educated populace could overcome that. Or an enlightened elite class who realized they could boost overall wealth and

Stoicism is hard to call a fad. It has persisted as an important philosophy for over two millennia. Georgism is a distilled moral argument that is core to classical liberalism. Classical liberalism is centuries old, as is georgism.

True. But the argument that assessment is subjective, and prone to error, is true. But such errors in land value are at least fairly easy to peer review. It is all a matter of public record. But for income, if you hide it all in the Cayman

In a true zero sum situation it would be a sad reality, but not lunacy. How many slight deviations in the space of possibility would've caused global thermonuclear war during the Cold War? Could you guarantee ahead of time that it woul

Terrible business decision. Existing DEs have centuries of collective engineering hours poured into them. They work. They are free. There is no compelling reason to throw that all away. Likely a new system will be worse along every metric o
