But it's not completely a labor play. Some of it is to skirt environmental protections. I'm not going to assume, but if you consider yourself both a globalist and an environmentalist, how do you personally resolve those two beli

Building on this line of thought, I never completely understood the description of crypto as a safe to the public. To me, it's more about mandating how I decide to communicate: requiring I speak a language the FBI can understand, that

It's not just the financial interests. It's also the public as a whole - the pushing of a college education (seemingly regardless of quality) for everyone, and the general social devaluing of any sort of trade-like work. I don&#

I'm not a lawyer, that byline seems to be misleading. Property owners ARE innocent until proven guilty. In civil asset forfeiture the PROPERTY is charged with a crime, not the owner. Which is the ridiculous part. You shouldn't

There's a wide range here. Complaining on a message board where most people agree with you is basically zero effort. Devoting your life's work to it is a ton of effort. There is a middle ground here. My general thought is: you

We use something like Dapper at where I work. I think for some projects it's fine, but for some a full ORM can really pay dividends. Especially if you're still working out your problem domain, all the hand crafted SQL can be a p

Texas has tried pretty much every piece of trope certain political parties like to trot out to "fix" medical care, including tort reform. It hasn't done a damn thing.

I could also say choosing where to live based upon where you work is unacceptable, but many people do it. In reality there are many conflicting priorities in our lives, and each person chooses how much each matter to them. E.g. we chose wh

We need to laud people who change their positions for the better, not continue to becry them. It's harder for people to admit they are wrong than be right in the first place.
