People go back and forth on this. When they are trying to sound "very smart", they'll insist "well actually, the Russians invaded in 2014!" But something fundamentally different happened in 2022. Remember, Zelensky

Taiwan isn't much of a fortress. The Nordic states are probably better defended than Taiwan.

I'm sure fights happen all the time over inter-service autonomy. There was a book written recently about very nasty fighting between the CIA and DEA over whether to support a group of anti-communist guerillas who financed by running dr

CIA is fanatical about following the State Department's foreign policy. Aside from gathering intelligence, they just take the State Department's lead. A lot "CIA influence" isn't the CIA at all, but the US Governmen

The problem isn’t adults only websites. Those are easy to handle - just as you described. The problem is social media. Reddit isn’t adults only, nor is instagram. They’re just people putting stuff up for their friends. Some of the nastiest

Vanderbilt has an acceptance rate of 3-4%, which makes it almost as exclusive as Stanford. They aren’t having trouble getting applicants.

We have personal relationships with the authors whose work we read. Shakespeare, Alexander Pope, Dostoyevsky have changed my life. Just as much as family. You can loudly say “no” and I’m loudly saying “yes.”

Ok, but you're saying two different things. You can't know a minor account is a minor account unless you require age verification. Don't get me wrong - I support your proposal. But it requires massive state intervention.

At the airport they said I wouldn't be able to travel unless I had a real ID by 2019.

I read, from a semi-reliable source, Lousiana has pretty good system for verifying age and protecting ID. But's focused on in-person ID for gambling. The system was that they hired a company to make the cards, and assume civil liabilit

The President is roughly like a federal version of a state governor. State governors are modeled after Tudor monarchs. Over time the symbolism has evolved - the American people tend to want more pomp and ceremony than the presidents themse

Me too. Good style says to avoid creating words with dashes - it’s Un-American. But clarity matters more than rules.

Americans are often shocked when they reread the classics in their 40s. But that's one of the nice parts of the classics - you get something very different from them depending on where you are in life.

"Orgiastic future" - Fitzgerald simply assumed the word "orgiastic" existed, as a more clinical word for "orgasmic". His editors pointed out it did not, but he liked it more and insisted it be used.

And this doesn't include the messiness in the decisions themselves. Judges often edit the decisions for some time after they are published. For example, Souter was editing his published opinion in Lee v. Weisman nine years after the ca

That doesn't really solve the problem - what are the human's parameters? Protect the company from lawsuits? Spit out a link to a suicide hotline? What does the human know - do they know all the slang terms and euphamisms for suici

History is filled with countries that wanted their leader gone, but rejected foreign influence. I think most Venezuelans want freedom, prosperity, peace, and sovereignty. I’m not sure in what order.

Yeah I remember Occupy protesters. I got trapped in a gaggle of them shouting “Tahir Square!” again and again. I literally lost hearing in one of my ears. It never really recovered. Probably need a hearing aid, but I can just use the other

Yeah that’s the way I take it - “you’re probably not going to convince many people to sleep with you.” Kind of hurts my pride, but seeing as I'm older than 40, and my wife and I are pretty freaking boring, the vaccine is better spent o

I’m an early use of Manus. I’m very impressed with it. That’s all I can say. I hope the great product continues.
