The cynicism is uncalled for. The culture of places are not so well defined in America. It is a new nation of immigrants. Europeans may have lived in the same towns for hundreds or thousands of years. American is less than 250 years old. Am

Being treated equally may seem like a punishment when you've become accustomed to special privilege. Suppose property owners have been benefiting from the tax shelters for 10 years. That was the payoff. Don't dally around asking w

Florida lacks an income tax too. Property taxes are distorted due to a law called Save Our Homes. SOH limits increasing assessed value of home prices to inflation (Consumer Price Index) or 3%, whichever is lower. This mostly shift the tax b

Agile and stand up meetings get a bad rap when poorly performing companies adopt the practices. There's no such thing as having just half of your house on fire. If a fundamental business element like customers or leadership is missing,

Bluetooth physically requires some time to pass between communication. 2^56 seconds is 2 billion years. I doubt you can try more than 100 times a second.

I would not expect a slowdown in manufacturing to be detrimental to the US because Microsoft, Visa, and Facebook do not make physical things. Much of the US economy's value is in IP.

Offering strangers liquid drugs in hopes of "some action" was probably creepy back in the day too. Alcohol and hookup culture are not mutually exclusive to loneliness.

I believe the strong term "evil" is only used because Google's motto is "don't be evil". Not everyone has the freedom to instantly change jobs. The world might be a better place if employees had the right to wh

Science is not always available to repel superstition. Nutrition is the convenient thing to fixate on, but the body is far more complex and is essential to understand. Consider that the dangers of putting petrol in a diesel engine is not ex

I challenge the distinction between hard work and smart work. You cannot be smart without hard work. Amassing knowledge and mental ability requires years of effort and work. It is easier for gifted/clever people, but not inherent. gift

I did not know electrical engineers did mostly design work until my junior year. A professor was flabbergasted when I asked about learning more about soldering techniques, as if I would end up working on an assembly line. My major was a luc

We are ignoring something between whales and normal people. I believe the $2 trend is due to the expectation of subscription services. People see $2 as a reasonable exchange of what Netflix or Spotify would charge (for an individual show).

The bleeding example makes costs seems like random accidents, but most spending is on genetic illness and the elderly. A lifetime supply of insulin is much more expensive than setting a broken bone. We are not all equally likely to have can

Not all transport time is "wasted". Consider the difference of a normal vs congested road. Suppose a trip would normally take 15 minutes, and takes 25 minutes in congestion. The 10 minute difference is the waste. The 15 minutes is

Are being healthy and not unhealthy the same thing? For example not smoking is "not unhealthy" in the sense it does not hurt your lungs, but I would not consider standing around not smoking as being healthy. Similarly drinking wat

Colors are not purely spectral. Pink and brown are colors that must be mixtures. Black is no color. Normally I wouldn't care, but the point of article is the difference between mixtures and wavelength. The point of the post is semantic
