I mean, whether the goal is to keep other people down or just to retain the feeling of having worked hard to climb in the social hierarchy, the end result is the same, no? I think it's kind of sad that this is such a common response, w

I mean, I do think that is the genuine goal for most proponents of raising the minimum wage. As far as I know, as a general trend, politicians pushing to raise the minimum wage tend to also push for raising taxes on the wealthy and greater

The whole point of raising the minimum wage is to erode the gap between the poor and the rest of society. Raising minimum wage while leaving other wages untouched accomplishes that. I don’t think that when considering the lives of the poor

Please run this article through a spellcheck. There are just about 1-2 typos per paragraph through the piece, and it's extremely distracting. Example of two typos in two consecutive sentences: >Blinded by the shine of the *enrmous*

I think it was an article posted on HN a little while back that got me thinking about the time travel paradoxes that wormholes could enable. There was one thought experiment about a wormhole with one end on your front lawn, and the other in

Your argument seems to boil down to: “bad things have happened before, so bad things aren’t bad”. 1. In a close election, contesting it or demanding a recount is fine and sane. Step aside once the results of that process are in. Trying to d

Anyone got a better source for or against the claim the article makes that nearly half of all human deaths over the last 50,000 years were caused by malaria? It seems suspiciously high, and at a quick glance the Nature paper linked doesn’t

Totally naive question here - can all this not be done automatically? It seems to me as if this is a largely manual process, and that's why it's going to take 3 months, no?
