Did you just finish your psych 101 course? Harvard prisoner experiment and whatnot? Because that's what you sound like. You have no depth to your idea you're just stating it and that it's right and taking what you think is th

Sure, I'm down with that. Idk where you'd have to start but administration is probably a good place.

It's going to decrease value for the average student. It'll be ever more where you go than what you know. If anything it will increase value? Don't buy it. What's your reasoning? Look at the value of college today on avg

No offense but when you compared and said which is better - I had to read the rest of the slides to figure out which one was supposed to be better. Too many lines is gaudy but also can provide high level information. Too little lines might

Well if you're posting it publicly and claiming "this is better" then you're either wrong or open to criticism.

I just asked this question elsewhere in the thread. It seems that a lot of people just blindly believe it because it sounds good. But as you say between Asia and Africa we have over half the world's population. They're pretty far

I see these two points made often yet I've never seen a comprehensive meta analysis that shows how true any of it is. Yes as you linked ppl will often give an article that supports that these things happen, but relative quantity is imp

Sometimes HN... Racket meant just as an operational endeavor. Not the kind where you nefariously earn money. Racket: a person's line of business or way of life. Edit: oh yeah kids are out of school. I thought things felt dumber around

Hm kind of reminds me of Ikea's food racket. Actually I'm sitting here trying to think of why that wouldn't work but I honestly can't. Cool idea!

But the problem is when we make college more affordable it's value decreases meanwhile the product doesn't get any better. You're absolutely right about administration, but there are a myriad of other money suckers that have

You aren't even making a counter argument, you're just being emotional. Yeah sorry to tell you - not everyone's going to be nice. If that were the case we wouldn't have to make laws to protect citizens from one another.

God no. We subsidized the shit out of college last century. On average it's not any better (the tech it uses is, but the university systems themselves are stagnant), yet it's much much more costly. Making it free would only contin

"concerns over misidentification are valid" What else needs said then? This could literally erroneously grant a cop to shoot/tase/arrest you. What more do you need?

It's sad af, but it's human nature. Same shit why we can't trust our grandparents to handle their own money when they get older. Some slimey fuck out there is willing to put them in a poor grave to make a buck. At this point

Allegations should not be news. Misandry at its finest, considering she herself claims to be the victim of false allegations.

I empathize but how's that better than an old cow being slowly eaten alive by coyotes when it gets into the wrong pasture? Or a horse breaking a leg and... I mean it's nasty. Or a chicken dying of infection because it's getti

I'm under the impression that with the heat death, such a large vacuum would create the massive quantum states which would lend to a new big bang. Would that not also be infinite time?

I think that's the most interesting part of science - the place where brilliant minds hypothesize and ponder about what may be. Sure it's fluff but we'd no doubt say similar of Einstein prior to his publications in the early

ITT people who are blowing off privacy as though it's not valuable while simultaneously talking about Apple lock in like they're the only company to do that. Idk what yall are on but privacy is valuable to most of us. That comes w

by thatoneuser 7y ago
Why do you say "privacy" as though it's not really that? It is privacy and privacy is immensely valuable these days. And what do you think Google and Microsoft and Facebook don't also try to control their customers? They

Your argument is "well maybe they won't be secure tomorrow and you're invested". Ok, but they are secure now and that's more than pretty much other major tech company. Yeah there's lock in with Apple, you d

No there's plenty of universally good attributes. Not being prone to cancer, death and aging for one. You're trying to shoe horn a complex topic because you're uncomfortable with it. Theres more to it than waffling around idi

Don't live in a place that you can't afford. If enough people moved away from SF to the Midwest then they'd live comfortably and local companies would have no choice but to increase wages to keep the rest around.

Whenever someone tells you "the only solution is..." You can just write them off. There's never only one solution to any problem, let alone one where the problem is purely speculative.

Unpopular opinion but eugenics definitely has the potential to create a "better" population. The problem is its highly highly unethical in any deliberate implementation and is typically orchestrated by tyrannical dictators who&#x2

Well it's mostly a fluff/bs term that people bestow on themselves to influence people into paying them anyway.

No intention to flame, I genuinely find this case fascinating. So Devils advocate - the dnc was polarized before assange leaked anything. It was straight up controlled by Hillarys camp. If Hillary were some grassroots candidate or hell, if

I'd think exceptions can be made for exceptional cases. Like it or not, this is a subject that has implications for very fundamental freedoms that most free citizens consider necessary for a positive future. While it may be tiring to h

Qualifications are fine. That's merit based hiring. Saying you don't have the right genitals or your skin isn't the right color and thus you don't deserve the job is wrong. Assuming that's what op meant by adversity

Because it's promoting hiring practices that rely on using gender/race/whatever to decide who deserves a position. Diversity (of intrinsic characteristic) has no intrinsic value, it's an ideology and an unethical one at
