You don't lose cool kid points, you instead lose any expectation people might have regarding your ability to perform basic risk analysis. Things shouldn't be pursued based on whether they seem big and sciencey. They should be purs

This piece is very melodramatic, ignores huge pieces of US history, and the US's place in world history. No citations or references. Starts off relying on cherry picked headlines to set a biased tone that doesn't reflect reality f

Rents are always going to be high for any dense city, but lighter touch regulations can make it less sprawled and car-centric. The transit-oriented development policies mentioned do just that. Donald Shoup is a transit scholar who has shown

There is a new library called GeckoView being worked on, and Firefox Focus is being rebased on it. Perhaps Fennec itself will be replaced by a GeckoView-based browser. And in the longer run, by a ServoView browser.

Business Insider is interested primarily in clicks, but not the worst of the bunch. I don't generally see outright lies or anything. This article included. It stated the facts that they had access to. But in any event, it isn't fa

Pretty much every religious terrorist who murders others does so while believing they are representing a religion of peace. While it seems our resident psychonauts objected to my label of irrational for Kary Mullis, at least nobody thought

Prop 13, mentioned in the article, correlates with the sharp turn of California's public schools from the among the best to among the worst. I'm sure there's numerous factors that contribute, but this is core. And repealing t

I like the guy, but he does seem fairly irrational. He thinks astrology doesn't get a fair shake. And in any event, a scientist while under the influence of neuroactive substances could be said to be an example of a person who is bot

Irrational is accurate. The "syncretism" that is mentioned can only be achieved through ignoring contradictions. Science can be employed by irrational people, and scientists themselves can be irrational. There's been lots of

As an S9 user, I'm not happy with this phone and not looking forward to the new one. I made the mistake of buying it because it had the best chipset and latest bluetooth standard, but that can't make up for its flaws. I really dis

I don't share your absolutism, but you're absolutely right that at least lately, Musk has been sending a lot of signals that he's becoming unhinged. I wonder if, in trying to compete with people like Bezos, including by tryin
