"How can you have such an uninformed take?" Personal attacks are against HN guidelines. The federal Department of Education is a very recently created (1980) bureaucracy that controls 10% of school spending, meaning it has an enor

Top down, central authority never works. Look at the disaster we have in education. End the federal government control and allow school choice for family's everywhere.

Zwift is an excellent way to have fun getting vigorous exercise. If only it didn't cost so much.

I went to the dentist a couple of weeks ago and had the shortest dental visit I've had. They did the X-rays, then the dental assistant spent five minutes cleaning my teeth and pronounced them good. The dentist came in and looked for ab

I have now gone over 1,000 days without drinking alcohol. I was not an alcoholic as conventionally defined, I drank less than what my friends or colleagues or others around me did. But occasionally I would drink a few too many and not feel

I am glad to see they have banned the sale of sugary sodas in schools. This should extend to any food or drink with sugar added.

CEO here, I also almost got taken by a fake legal notice about a Facebook post. My password manager would not auto enter my password so I tried manually entering it like a dummy. Fortunately, it was the wrong one.

Honest question: If you want environmental and labor regulations in America, how can you oppose tariffs? American businesses following those laws can't compete with countries using slave labor and toxic lakes of poison.

Tesla continues to innovate and improve despite significant regulatory issues, pretty impressive.

Nuclear is far superior as you don't need batteries and can have 24/7 reliable power. Cut the artificial costs caused by insane regulation and nuclear is the safest and most cost effective solution.

Destroying gifted programs is an insidious form of socialism. Socialism seeks to take from those who work hard and give to those who do not. Socialism inevitably collapses into dictatorship. That is the end goal of those who push it (other

Most of what you see in the grocery store is bad for you. Just buy plain food items close to the source; fruits, veggies, meat, etc.

The article failed to mention that there are already laws in many states protecting people from being recorded without their knowledge. Look up two party consent states. The guy recording inappropriate dating questions could be sued and los

Such a stupid government policy. The panels would be far more efficient on the roof of the complex.

Having a wife and kids is the purpose and meaning of life. Same as it is for every other biological creature. Miss out on that, and life is worth losing.

Outsourcing is not a good solution, we should support our local manufacturers who have to follow our ethical rules on labor treatment, safety, and environmental damage. Outsourcing just allows the worst abuses to happen elsewhere. We should

Anyone long term unemployed should start their own service business. This usually can get you working quickly. Drop your pride and take low pay contracts to get started.

Read any biology textbook. The purpose of every life form is to reproduce and create more life. This is the purpose of all evolution and all life.

Having children is the literal purpose of all life forms. Birth control is the worst thing that humanity has invented.

If your executives are ignoring your line managers unethical behavior, it is probable they are directing it or at least tacitly approving it. You work for an unethical company. Change jobs.

I agree with you. Social media radicalization is terrifying.

The system you describe is majority rule, which often abuses minority rights. It is better to have a constitutional democracy with very limited government powers.

True! It applies to both the right and the left abusing government power. The best solution is to reduce government power and size so neither side can abuse it.

Excellent article. It shows functionally why meritocracies perform much better than socialistic systems.
