Your argument presumes that an extended-stay hotel needs to be licensed. I don't buy it.

I am sure it is a cultural difference - but not wrt abortion but marriage. "In 2011 , 72 percent of all births to black women, 66 percent to American Indian or Alaskan native women, and 53 percent to Hispanic women occurred outside of

You're right. Russia is such an upstanding world citizen, the idea that they would spy on others just beggars belief.

White women abortion rate is equivalent to Europe (11 per 1k), Black women abortion rate is 50 (Hispanics as usual are in the middle - 28). Given that sex education & birth control are not distributed by ethnicity, there must be more to

You've added nothing to this discussion and look like a dick to boot. Moreover - I usually find that people who know something well should be able to summarize/explain it to laymen. Those who resort to 'Oh, you are so wrong,

Wouldn't it be appropriate to generalize to Anglo-Saxon countries rather than only the US?

I'm curious if the author bothered to check what percent of most expensive NYC apartments are bought by Americans (unlike Russian or Middle East kleptocrats).

Sure - both engagements were part of the Cold War which US has won.

I'd say US has a petty good record in the 20th century: WWI WWII Cold War All won. And for the latter two (I personally think Germany losing WWI was the worst thing that happened to Europe), I am 100% on the side of the US (particular

I think we need a bit of context here. US is the hegemon. Therefore it's not reasonable to apply same expectations of how it acts as we do pleasant little countries like Norway or Netherlands (who are probably only independent because

There is also a concept of 'fast enough'. My 2013 MBA is fast enough for anything I want to do on it. Actually, my 2011 MBA was fast enough as well - I only upgraded because of awesome battery life in the 2013 model. Further to th

Exactly how I feel. My wife has MBP 15' Retina and I simply don't find its screen better than my MBA. I only use applications in maximized screen mode (but have 7 desktops that I switch between). So the whole 'Retina is bette

I don't care how many women are in tech. Likewise I don't care how many straight men are in fashion or Mexicans in the NBA. There - I said it.

I'd summarize this as 'Some guy prefers to find answers on twitter'. I, on the other hand, personally never use twitter. So I guess that evens things out for Google. Larry can sleep easy now.

You know, in billiards (pool) you have to actually point to the hole in which you plan to sink the bal. So that if the ball ends up in some hole (but not the one you anticipated), you don't get credit for it. Same here - if you read

Umm..ok. But the point of Black Swan is that certain are unpredictable. Yet plenty of people saw the crisis coming [2,3]. Taleb was not one of them - please see [0] If you are a Taleb fan (or just curious), check out this critique of his wo

Thank you - so that's his thesis. I guess it sounds a lot like gangs.

Is it just me or is there a gaping logical hole in this story. The guy who supposedly refused to work for her because of her gender must have realized that she is a woman long before signing the contract. Ie - if he really had problem rep

I really wished they'd always referred to it as 'The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel' to differentiate it from real Nobels.

It's not a race thing but rather class. People want their children to go to school with отчер kids who are smart / motivated to succeed - hence will focus on school. Best determinant of that are the parents themselves. So private

by omonra 13y ago
And yet everybody who can afford it, sends their kids to private schools in London. Heck - I know people who sold their house so that they could pay for private schools.

Because he doesn't bother to make a coherent argument and I have plenty of better use of my time than try and parse what he is trying to say. If you understand his argument - can you make an outline for us?

Could be. Don't forget - Nobel prizes are given our for work done 20-40 years ago. So Asians doing stuff now will only get recognized in the future. With time, I think they will catch up to Jews.
