Almost every person on earth could have swung in any direction if they had hung out with different people. If you or I hung out with Ancient Egyptians our whole lives we would have thought burying kings with living slaves was about as norma

Why do you think that the... Democratic Party... doesn’t want to “legislate morality.” That is the essence of what all politicians do. Bernie Sanders talking about the 1% and 99% is trying to legislate morality.

“Stamping out” anything moves it underground. The transaction volume almost always goes down and the risk for those remaining in the market almost always goes up.

Another "settlement" that's scaled more like a sales tax.

Purdue is definitely the creator of the American opioid epidemic by lying about OxyContin's addictiveness and heavily pushing it for situations which didn't need it (wisdom teeth) and got people addicted. Read any of the ~10 main

Your and my downvotes on this US-centric website show why American corporate malfeasance isn't taken seriously in the US... the main perpetrators have captured not only the criminal justice system but also "hearts and minds."

Wow. This is what a functioning criminal justice system looks like. Meanwhile the co-founders of the opioid epidemic, which has killed at least 150,000 people, paid a few million dollars in fines.

That woman is very brave, but the threat of death will make many witnesses think twice about coming forward.

“Silicon Valley” is a metonym for the technology and Internet industries and has been for some decades now.

Let’s wait for evidence on “better.” I wonder what kinds of demands will be placed on employees who know that their 20 positions have 200 former freelancers able and willing to do their job.

The US tends to have very few federal laws of this type. Some states have them.

Why is artificial neutering unethical? What’s wrong with it? Change the code yourself or pay the guy. 99% of software only gives you the second option.

You have to realize the limits of “if everyone thinks something is a good idea, it's probably a bad idea.” It doesn’t apply to things like brushing your teeth or learning to program computers.

I guess, what can we as ordinary citizens do about the world’s most powerful people, Presidents, princes, CEOs, billionaires, in a giant child rape ring going unpunished? Just shake our fists at the sky? What can we do?

Why? Why should we just move on from the world’s most powerful men indulging in child rape and killing off threats to their continued access to children to rape?

I thought they were insider trading the stock of Ring, the doorbell company, by sniffing their traffic if they were using Palo Alto Networks security systems. Now THAT would be a big fucking scandal.

One of the great downsides of Google having such a massive hit with Search is that they don’t have the kind of willpower that it takes to absorb defeat after defeat on the path to victory. Look at how many failed fucking pen devices Microso

This article finally captured the truth about Amazon - that it’s just eBay, and should be used for the same purchases: things you can’t get anywhere else and things that are impossible to screw up.

I just bought Christmas presents and I ordered only the books from Amazon. JetPens packages stationery for less damage, Uncommon Goods has a curated selection, and a wallet from Nordstrom has a better return policy.

Bill Gates' graphic isn't compelling except in the case of some cancer and traffic accidents. Most heart disease, almost all Alzheimer's, most cancer, etc. are just various ways that old people die. You're going to have

Also, not all gun suicides should be prevented. My friend's grandfather was dying of Parkinson's and had a very horrible and unpleasant 3-6 months ahead of him. He blew his head to pieces with a gun. It was a massive quality of li

The question is not clear. You don’t need to output the string “Rock or Spock”, you need to output either the string “Rock” or the string “Spock”.
