I'm a great believer in the power of cash to solve problems. Rutger Bregman's Utopia For Realists opened my eyes on this matter. The minority of "rotten apples" only spoil the concept if we let them - we can view their p

The guns stored in homes as part of military service, are stored without ammunition. While CH does have a relatively high amount of guns per capita (~27), it pales in comparison to the United States (~120). Is the US 4X safer than Switzerla

Ok, fair enough. By surrounding myself with men holding guns - do you mean law enforcement and military? In that case I don't see a disconnect between supporting issuing firearms in a highly regulated way to law enforcement, and not su

Do you have a source for gun ownership being _encouraged_ in CH? Also, it's going to be a tall order to control for other factors when comparing these specific countries. They seem quite far from each-other culturally, geographically,

Can you explain how you came to that conclusion? It seems tenuous at best to assume reducing illegal firearms among a population, has the same effect as reducing firearms among law enforcement.

Isn't that the case for most reputable VCs? Marketing your product, identifying synergies in portfolio companies, recruiting opportunities and so forth? Or are a16z & YC in a class of their own in that regard?

While I do not believe there are many incentives for Boeing to be frank about its motivations or the specifics of the layoffs, I am glad you added this article, as it does provide a response to the allegations, and more details to further p

This is a wild stab in the dark, but it could be some sort of legal distancing or compartmentalization of liability. If this is a pure cost-cutting measure, it hardly seems worth the optics of this action.

Yes, and I know several of my friends and family who shop in different supermarkets for that reason. How many do you know that have both an iPhone and an Android phone?

I don't think your analogy is making any strong points, because there aren't just two supermarkets in the whole world. I can choose from 4 different supermarkets within walking distance, and an additional 3 if you count online sup
