I’m having a hard time squaring reasons 1 and 2. If legacy admits struggle, are they really being coddled? Personally, I didn’t apply to Hopkins because it sounded like boot camp. So your reason 2 seems a lot more plausible.

The funding for this research is minuscule fraction compared to the agriculture industry. Exploring this part of the potential solution space is worthwhile, even if it doesn’t end up being the best way forward. We need to look into all the

Running a company such as this is like living in a shark tank. Powerful, convincing people are going to lobby you to do what they think you ought to be doing. See the recent privatization of .org for how things can go wrong. You need the ri

Trading based on inside information? This is verging on “not even wrong”. Are you aware that Theranos was not a public company?

Currently there is a very high rate of HOV lane violations. I wonder if they’ll enforce it more when it becomes a toll lane too.

I think this argument fails because “firm-space” is sparse. There are many companies, but there are way more possible companies given all the degrees of freedom. Also, the number of “competition events” is small. Companies don’t have the op

I think the “outcompeted” argument proves too much. Nobody does anything wrong, otherwise they would be outcompeted.

Think about how when an announcement is made, a bunch of detailed news stories drop at the same moment. This is pre-arranged. Companies employ PR professionals (or contract with PR firms) who have relationships with news outlets and they pi

Our moral intuitions are almost entirely determined by the society we live in. 30 years ago, 30% of people in the US supported gay marriage, and now it’s over 60%. Do you believe the number of good people doubled during that time? I’m gay,

I don’t understand, can you elaborate? Hiding some of your income reduces your tax paid regardless of whether you take the standard deduction.

In my experience nobody can tell what you’re doing at your desk (even if they can see the screen over your shoulder). So you can get face-time while learning for your own benefit.

I wouldn’t count it as productive when the outcome is he has to spend time in court explaining himself later. I’d venture to guess the time spends directing his employees is whether all the productivity happens.

It is really weird to be called a bro when I’ve been bullied by bros for half of my life. I came here to get away from the bros, and based on the behavior of people I encounter on a daily basis, this was successful.

My problem with policies that require employers to give benefits to part time workers is that they massively increase the marginal cost of labor. There should be a smooth curve relating hours worked to compensation provided. Increasing the

People affected by this bill are all over Twitter talking about it. Where is your skepticism? You don’t believe that there are freelancers in California that don’t have full-time jobs?

Many of the freelancers impacted by this bill do not have a full time job, and this bill won’t give them that, it will just take what they have away.

Those people also aren’t helped by having their employment taken away by this legislation. I have a friend with health issues that mean that he’s only able to work some of the time, and can’t predict when. Gig economy jobs are the first tim
