It reminds me of the issue of whether game cheats are legal or not. Activision is losing a lot of money because cheats are ruining the game for everyone. Here, the only "victim" is Facebook itself. And it's not cheating as mu

Haven't we seen a decline in violence and crime during that same period... I wonder if there is correlation, or even causation.

If the immune response is comparable to that of a fully vaccinated person, we should be issuing "immunization cards" to people who have recovered. The goal is to control the disease, not the people.

One could argue that the BLM slogan, being intentionally divisive and exclusive, is designed to provoke from day one rather than bring up constructive change. It's a heavily politicized movement. Since Biden was elected for example, th

You certainly know the program better than I do. But my understanding is that white students are underpresented in G&T, the same as black and latino students. It's the asian students that are overrepresented. Reflecting their commu

China used to be the first world power and economy a few hundred years ago. And they are slowly but surely reclaiming that title.

We are witnessing, in this country, the death of meritocracy by a thousand cuts. Ideally, every student should get a personalized education. In practice, it’s not feasible due to limited resources. So it makes sense to segment kids in 2-3 g

What if a bunch of white male employees ask the company to make s statement that their lives matter too? After all they are overrepresented in suicide statistics, drug addiction and homelessness. You now this shit will make a lot of leftist

To boost profits you have to provide more value (in a competitive field). And "more value = social benefit" has been a decent approximation so far. It's not guaranteed to hold true in the future though.

It wouldn't make more economical sense if we taxed the externalities. Right now, the coal plants are "using" (read destroying) resources (air, water, ...) for free. A tax should price in the cost of that harm in a way that ma

I agree with this sentiment. We don't talk enough about the nuclear family and importance of structured parenting. In fact, there has been a leftist movement toward marginalizing the family in favor of centralized uniform progressive t

It's a high trust process in a high trust society. Assuming that most people are honest, it works out well. Verification bogs down the process and may discourage people from applying. Clever fraudsters can probably pass that anyway.

They missed crypto and NFTs. For some reason HN doesn't appreciate the potential of these tech. Even when some prominent Silicon Valley investors do. I wouldn't have expected this from a technical and freedom minded audience.

Attractive women get a lot more attention than attractive men. I think that's common knowledge and is the manifestation of our biology: Men's drive to "chase" women is higher. Testosterone is a hell of a drug. Also, from
