I agree the ads suck. Banning things rarely makes things better.

There's not enough tech workers, everyone learn tech!! There's too many tech workers, we're all screwed!! Yawn.

Probably not a dumb hypothesis, but this author turns this into a lament about the changes in publishing. Next.

I deleted my facebook a year or so ago. I still talk to all the people I wanted to talk to when I had a facebook. Obviously not for everyone, but I enjoy it.

*Interesting that this seems to be an opposition party thing. I'd love to see Republicans still singing this tune if they get the Presidency back, but we'll see.

I don't disagree, there are some very beneficial regulations, I should have made myself more clear. Very good point on commerce relative to raising the quality of life around the world. I don't know why so many people give the st

I understand your point, but I think you're being too abstract. End of the day, someone is being taxed (fined by the government) more than another, simply because they are wealthier. That doesn't sit right with me. As far as growt

It's discriminatory. It doesn't treat people fairly under the law. But it also really bothers me that it's just so arbitrary. I can't imagine the arrogance necessary to think that you know how much to tax a certain segme

You want to see a "fairer America" fueled by a discriminatory taxation policy. I hope this irony does not escape you. If your goal is truly to see fewer people living in harsh poverty conditions, an absolutely noble goal, let the

Not entirely related, but progressive taxation schemes make me extremely uncomfortable. It's a shame so many people want to continue even farther down the rabbit hole.

I've found the best is a combination of being social and spending a good amount of time reading. If you're looking for books, take a look at The Great Books of the Western World.

This seems like it's pursuing skin-deep diversity. Diversity of thought is much more interesting to me, and probably much more apt to drive profits than this.

I see this frequently as well. A difference of opinion is equivalent to a declaration of war to some people.

Existing service has problems, many of which can be attributed to heavy regulation. New service is introduced and is preferred by consumers. Existing service wants more regulation to kill new service. Sounds about right.

My only problem is that the planet is over 4 billion years old and as this shows, we've been collecting climate data for a little over 100 years. The natural skeptic in me isn't ok with establishing a trend based on 1/40,000,
