The recursion in how one would effect change like this amuses me. But this is by design since policy affects all.

Banks shouldn't be put in the position of public policy making. If society thinks certain activities are desired/undesired, this can be accomplished via taxes and regulations. Financial cancel culture is a road to hell laid with g

Okay, please cite the employee abuse you are claiming. I've yet to see claims that aren't hotly contested or that have ended up being traced back to various short seller campaigns. It's a free country, employees can work whe

Tesla isn't mining it. Bitcoin costs nothing to hold. It's a hedge against inflation given TSLA's massive cash reserves.

Yet now we have reusable rockets, electric cars, and a more credible path towards carbon neutral transit. Maybe those are hard enough problems that you just can't tolerate employees not pulling their weight.

Debatable. R&D funding, job creation (including at overseas bases and embassies), massive economic benefits from being the world reserve currency, etc.

It's not zero-sum. Having a strong military allows you to pursue your (peaceful) interests without interference from others who disagree with your agenda.

The problem with public toilets is they become massive hazards if you can't police them. Things like prostitution, drug use, homelessness, and crime all become concerns. Neither the Left nor Right have root cause credible solutions fo

Elon isn't hired management. He built the company, and risked all of his personal assets in doing so.

Straight out disagree. One of the most fundamental purposes of a country is to prioritize the interests (and most fundamentally life) of its own citizens. If countries agreed on things like resource distribution, human rights, economic str

Technically, it's based around the fact the virus spreads slower in summer (warm, humid) than winter (cold, dry). Though I suppose California and Texas are more (warm, dry) so maybe the union factor is dry. Or something else like pop

COVID does worse in warmer climates; it would be useful to see data adjusted for factors such as ventilation, climate, baseline prevalence, viral variants, etc. No one AFAIK has attempted to do any of this work. All I've seen are unsu

If it was significant and of consequence, my suspicion is it wouldn't stay subconscious for long. Original Sin is just as real to the worldview of millions over centuries as Subconscious Bias is to others.

I'd wager micro-agression verbiage was not front of mind when the dialogue was written. Not "woke" in the least.

Subconscious bias is the modern day original sin. It's creepily similar to the indoctrination technique of teaching people they are evil and can only be redeemed by following <belief system of choice>.

When Darth Vader tells Luke that one day Luke will call him master, is he also committing a microagression? Maybe the writers were, but I doubt it. To most English speakers master just means person in control or source of truth. Or we shoul

How would the card validate you're using a signed driver? The card only sees what the driver sends it, so presumably the input could be spoofed. Also the card is not the root on the system's TPM. Usually it's the reverse -

IMO spending $10 a month on CDs is a different market, since you own an asset in perpetuity. Spotify would have to guarantee a perpetual license that expands your library access the more you pay in. Instead, Spotify rents access to a sing

Diffusion of responsibility; the takedown firm takes a lot of the bad PR and legal liability when wrong. Adobe also shields their brand by not insourcing.

It wouldn't be Bitcoin then; a change in rules creates a new coin. There would have to be incredibly strong incentives for people to accept a fork that would debase their assets. Nit: it would also require a hard, not a soft fork.
