   Sigh. Did you even read the parent to which you replied? Do you know who Ashkenazi are? Do you realize that Ashkenazi do not have a specific country? Ie Israel IQ average is 94 because half the country are not Ashkenazi (Arabs / Seph

   1. It's not ALL Jews but rather Ashkenazi Jews who are so over-represented 2. Ashkenazi Jews come from Europe (they are basically descendents of Jewish men & Italian women) - this was just was just proven a few days ago [1]. 3. Eur

   Great point. So the next question is - for how many years will they admit less qualified women before the policy can be rescinded? Or will it stay in place as long as its required to have a 50-50 incoming class - which basically means quota

   I would urge readers to refrain from the kneejerk reaction 'it's happening all over now'. What is happening in the Western world (rise of inequality due to skills being prized higher owing to technological change) is very dif

   There are approximately 422K people in prison for drug offences ( http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Prisons_and_Drugs#sthash.KZS... ). Which still leaves 1.9mio for non-drug offences - more than the second country with lar

   I actually do not understand why mugshots should be public in the first place. We already have a way to check someone's criminal record - why the need for public access to a record of someone being arrested - even though no charges m

    That's precisely the point - his site is so beyond ugly, that it detracts from his message. He's not talking about programming here - but discussing presentation of visual information. His utter disregard for his readers makes me

    Exactly my thought. I am sure the author is an intelligent guy who knows his stuff - but I just can't be bothered to read for more than a few paragraphs something that looks so G-d-damn awful. It really is a pain to look at.

    Yes, I have. What do you think is so unbelievable in the body of the article that's not summed up by what I said?

    This is a great comment, thank you I guess at the end of the day, poor people present poor revenue opportunities for banks. So the banks resort to underhanded methods (ie ones that customer would not agree to if they were given a choice). I

    I am willing to live with this case (some random person who is not used to presenting on a projector forgetting to mask his password) for MY personal utility.

    He's got an interesting niche - essentially being part of Apple PR machine but on the outside. He's writing for people who already decided they will stay with Apple to make them feel good about the decision.

    Slightly off topic, but why does the author feel the need to describe Louis CK as 'white man'? Does that add anything to the story?

    You are missing an important point - the reasons drones are up in the sky in the first place is to fight the muslim extremists. So the number of people they kill is an important variable to countenance the number of accidental drone kills.

    'If you want a friend - get a dog'. Likewise, if you want empathy, watch Oprah. I believe there needs to be room for honest realistic views to be voiced - even if you don't like the reality they describe. PG did not say that

    Bear in mind, Britain has been in steady decline for about 100 years now (in terms of its geopolitical standing). So there isn't much in store for being patriotic. In Russia patriotism was big during the Soviet years, then dived during

    Perhaps your background is telling - you don't have a real 'home', hence you don't feel strongly about protecting it. I mean if things really hit the fan in Australia, you could go to Germany, or vice-versa. (Incidentall

    You have to accept that not everything happening in the world you dislike qualifies for fascism, genocide or equivalence to Hitler. Overusing these labels dilutes their 'brand', and then you don't have appropriate adjectives
