Some of it is that H1-Bs can’t be founders and startups usually can’t secure visas, and Seattle is a smaller population overall with fewer developers coming from the metro area. The Bay Area and NY have some of the best STEM schools in the

South Lake Union, West Seattle, and Bellevue must be the totality of your experience. Go up the hill and you’ll find a lively scene till about 3am year round, head downtown and you’ll see a dozen cultural events a week. I’m blown away by ho

A text being objectively measurable as aggressive is a very different supposition than a text being subjectively, contextually aggressive. It's fair to say that usually if the board isn't obfuscating or outright lying in their ann

Anyone who wants to change the legal system to deliver a specific outcome instead of follow a specific process is always going to be my enemy. I would be happy to die for habeas corpus, the right to face your accuser, the right to a trial b

I would disagree in very strong terms. The entire economic, legal, and taxation system of the US are organized in a certain way that's only a couple of hundred years old. Returning some money to some tenants as a one-off and restrictin

On Jezebel's comment section you would have been banned for asking this impertinent question. Obviously they're unprepared to respond with anything resembling evidence for their claims and will repeat it elsewhere rather than enga

You've missed the context that the "shoe" in the metaphor is the act of justifying politically motivated censorship by referencing public safety. Obviously bomb threats aren't protected speech and I've yet to see an

I appreciate you clarifying your points where they were proscriptive rather than descriptive, it is certainly a common civc intention of government and a persistent ideal of governance. In a previous era from 1890-1910, the purpose of &quot

The only idea that could be worse is having a multitude of private lending entities that collect almost all the profits backed by only one public entity that's stuck with almost all of the risk. A marxist might call it "dictatorsh

I think it's really demoralizing to people who cherish free speech and the sharing of knowledge to see these inflammatory insinuations. Suggesting a moderator act to censor discussion in an attempt to limit the spread of the work of Ir
