I think both Citizen's United and the allowance of asymmetric trade with China (e.g. China's currency manipulation, IP theft, restrictions on companies operating in China, etc.) are both symptoms of a much larger problem. The U.S.

Do you feel that the "discretion" violates the equal credit opportunity act? Technically, credit discrimination is illegal, but I could see a bank taking liberties with people who don't have the means to protect themselves.

What do you mean by secured credit cards can be recommended is any discriminatory way? I definitely think the nation should prioritize financial literacy in the education system, but I'm not sure you should be trusting any information

Serverless is just the execution context. You still need to worry about data storage. As I said, I didnt understand the difference until I tried to build something. It just feels different than serverless. One thing is that you still need m

You should try writing a smart contract. I didn’t believe in the utility until I did that. You can think of a blockchain like Ethereum as a really shitty global computer. It’s so weak that all it can do is transactionally change a few bytes

Not sure I understand your point? They’re not talking to you. They’re yelling in a crowded subway car. Can you explain how yelling at you vs. touching you are fundamentally different? What if they smell really bad? Would you consider making

Yes because an entire car of people are sitting there, minding their own business, and someone approaches them and violates their personal space. If someone grabbed you with the intention of disturbing you, would that not ruin your ride? Ho

This data is interesting because it illustrates how few chronic homeless people there are, and yet people who live in cities with large homeless populations will tell you how disruptive they can be. In NYC, a homeless person getting in your

I kind of agree, but once you need any JavaScript, you basically need it to pull in the entire modern JS tool chain, so adding server side rendering doesn’t replace complexity, it adds to it. Having a system that would allow you to build se

Since you asked, China basically had an inside man in the Californian pension system and purchased a large amount of Chinese tech stocks. Beijing then pulled the carpet out from under them, causing 400B in US pension losses: https:/&#

China has been waging economic warfare via equity markets for a while now. The U.S. hasn’t done anything to protect investors from billions in losses. Totally embarrassing.

The responsive padding is a bit weird. Having different padding for top/bottom and left/right looks a bit weird. Also, for centering, I definitely prefer using position: absolute and transform: translate(-50%, -50%)
