If you’re only looking at the cost to the consumer. If you include the cost of externalities to the environment… And I guess animal suffering isn’t a cost this is going to include… And the article addresses subsidies only once, in this one

How is Apple different than Amazon? Humans are bad at things we can’t touch. Imagine all physical goods shops had to be listed through a “Microsoft shop store” if you’re using the Edge browser. You can’t. Because that’d be dumb. But hey App

Few people to no person here would be comfortable purchasing a phone knowing people were exploited or harmed in its production. Our ethics did not always encompass labor and human rights when evaluating consumer products. We are just now be

Unpopular opinion: Python is bait and switch. Naive, aspiring programmers are told to learn Python because it’s the perfect beginner language, only to quickly hit a brick wall of complication they are unable to foresee (because they’re comp

This is borderline “a difference without a distinction”. NASA and the military have a very cozy relationship. NASA was partially a solution to a political problem. Sure astronauts are on “detached duty” but I doubt the astronauts would agre

Not gonna lie I spent over $400 trying to get on this flight. But, I am stoked for the person that won the sweepstakes. It is indeed an inspiration. I mean, I literally now see it as a possibility, as probable, that I’ll go to space in my l

Solution: Require persons owning 2nd or 3rd homes in high density areas to convert those homes to rentals. Solution: Require neighborhoods of single family homes to be replaced with high density high rises when a certain density is reached.

Your defense is a combination of “what about” other poorly written laws and “but it’s not enforced”. I don’t have enough time this morning to explain why these are dangerous and ignorant arguments...

Which generally requires collusion. There was no collusion. These are independent actors in a competitive space that arrived at the same conclusion independently. People want free speech. You get free speech so long as your speech doesn’t u

A monopoly is composed of “one” entity. It’s in the name. This is not a fair characterization of what happened.

Or they’ll be even more awesome as Disney’s technical abilities are integrated and leveraged in their theme parks. People pay good money to visit the parks for a reason. You can’t get that experience any other way.

We went through this at AIG during the financial crisis. No fun. I feel for them. We had to return our security badges and exchange them for new ones without AIG identifiable info on them so that we wouldn’t get harassed on the subway. And

Hypersonic weapons changes that. Hypersonic weapons are very difficult to confuse with nuclear weapons. Combine that with cyber warfare and drone/robotic warfare... And it is now possible to have an all out conventional warfare style w

I don't see this going down the path of "we wind up just like them". I see this going down the path of WW III. What we need is another cold war. Any hot war will be unimaginably costly and drawn out.

If you call that an "effective" defense, yeah idk what to say. We went in there with impunity, didn't even use the full capabilities of our forces, changed their government, killed over a hundred thousand of people, destroyed

I should have said "effectively". There is no law saying that explicitly, however, try stockpiling 1000 weapons of the same sort in a manner not meant to be difficult to be noticed and see how long it takes for you to be on someon

I actually agree that the 2nd amendment exists for this purpose (protect against a tyrannical government) and think that is a good thing. An armed private citizen stands zero chance of effecting any defense against our military. None. Zero.

Money is not property. Money is an entry on a ledger, which tracks credits and debits. So yes, fiat currency is not redeemable for a physical asset. But if it was redeemable, what ensures that say gold or a chicken will suffice to settle a
