This is not what happens. Poor people in NYC tend not to own cars and instead use public transport, walk or cycle. Even if your case is true this is good because: 1. fewer people drive (which is good because less pollution, reduced congesti

Maybe I'm cantankerous by nature and suffering from decline bias, but I do feel that modern fonts are not "as good" as some older ones, e.g. Helvetica, Avenir, Futura, Akzidenz-Grotesk, Century typeface, etc. I get that they

Theft is unfair? I mean fairness in "no market participants have access to information that is not public". Using a satellite to work out the usage rates of a real estate company's car parking centres? Fine. Bribing an execut

There's always the devil's advocate case that insider trading is good because it makes for more accurate price discovery (as in executives have access to non public information, so e.g. if the company has had a great quarter and t

The thing which really irks me about "bullshit culture" is that it inhibits running companies properly. For example a lot of startups don't focus on quality of execution and efficiency (although this is changing) because they

I think it's pretty hard to make the claim that people in startup-land aren't prejudiced against women. Just looking at empirical data on fundraising women attract a lot less funding (even weighted for the fact that there are fewe

I think Google Slides is really intended for people who don't care very much about graphic design and the user base either doesn't care or isn't aware that it could be a lot better. Even PowerPoint is miles better which is sa

If you look at the slides in the article they are quite cluttered – a lot of the time text has been made smaller or larger or put in a weird place (relative to a normal justification/alignment) to fit a visual motif which is unrelated

The problem is that Photoshop is actually pretty good (although Affinity definitely gives it a run for its money and is as good for simple things).

Which has widely been condemned by people who criticise Israel? And tends not to be talked about too much by the (right wing) pro-Israeli government (settlement program, bombing of Palestinians) crowd.

by sealeck 3y ago
Criticising current Israeli government policy doesn't hold Israel to a higher standard than that of other countries. Also Israel critics also tend to be _much more likely_ to condemn the actions of other states (e.g. Saudi Arabia in Ye

You're kind of leaving out the whole "literally poisons the user or gives them cancer" part. I certainly wouldn't trade slightly better thermostats for a higher risk of heavy metals poisoning. Also LED bulbs are great –

In Switzerland the sentencing isn't very tough for possession in small quantities, but you certainly cannot _sell_ MDMA and hope for lenient treatment.

No the issue is when prosecutors mix up Pr[evidence | innocence] with Pr[innocence | evidence]. It isn't correct to conclude from the former that someone is guilty.
