That's because ideas shouldn't be bundled together just because a person said them. The I Have A Dream speech is famous precisely because it is the most important/widely agreed upon of his ideas: evaluate individuals accordin

Apparently it's very important to not be a "green bubble bitch" in the dating sphere. I don't know why the assumption is that if you have an Android, you're broke, but I have heard women say unironically that a gree

Amazon doesn't know anything. Sometimes I go on Amazon literally LOOKING for something to buy. That's any seller's dream, just show me anything I might like. You have hundreds of my purchases to reference, thousands of hours

There needs to be further collaboration between computer scientists and these emerging biological platforms. Between the ability to synthesize code (RNA) and data (protein), I don't think it's been fully realized by most that they

With Apple potentially entering automotive space as well as VR, I find it unlikely that they've peaked. They've consistently demonstrated that they're not a company interested in sitting still. Move to Apple Silicon alone sho

I meant that we have government subsidized housing all over the country. California has its own problems related to supply constrained housing, but I don't understand why the expectation should be that anyone is entitled to live in one

Vaccines are also, themselves, not exactly GOOD for you. They're just eliciting an immune response in order to obtain immunological defense at a theoretically/hopefully lower cost than the alternative infection. Subjecting yoursel

California pays a lot of pensions. Pensions are stupid. Just pay people for the time that they work. We have social security, we have welfare, we have MediCal Medicaid, we have affordable housing. People can also invest in their own retirem

This is where coding becomes more art than science. There's an intuition that comes to knowing when it's time to abstract something and when the ad hoc implementation is better. And I do mean better, not faster, or lazier, but bet

Ok, so, diversity of gender and race is just good, period? Do you mean that people should be represented by race and gender in accordance with their population makeup? i.e. 13% of doctors should be black, and 50% of nurses should be male? A
