That's a pretty basic tenant of democracy. The government is by the people and for the people.

My own hot take on this: If the fundamental unit of value is provided by people, then the potential to get work done scales with the number of people engaged and ready to do it. In a city like New York, there are a lot of talented people th

When you said “yes” to flying on that airline, with checked baggage, you said yes to a chain of other sub-yeses that could result in a given situation. Learning the consequences of your “yes” for various things and what you’re willing to ac

Postmodernism teaches (among many things) that truth is not objective. Rather, the epistemological center in postmodernism IS the self. Each self has its own version of truth, rather than truth being perspective-independent. In literature

There will be a natural decoupling between our two nations. We did the same with Soviet Union when we realized their ideology left no room for long term peaceful coexistence (see the Long Telegram). A lot of political leaders are realizing

Sometimes known as pixel lighting, matrix systems are based around a high-beam unit consisting of a cluster of LEDs (the Audi matrix system consists of up to 25 LEDs per high-beam unit), rather than a single high-beam bulb that you might fi

(author here) I've used SimpleWebRTC[0] in the past with success. It was helpful once I needed to start dealing with the annoyances of cross browser compatibility, multiparty calls, etc. You can also fork their code on github[1], whi

Let's not forget the very real possibility of death when cycling on a US road. You are completely at the mercy of the auto. In most cities dedicated bike lanes with any barriers or protection are very rare.
