MoCo is one of the most affluent and highly taxed counties in the entire country - a suburb of DC filled with lobbyists, lawyers, and doctors. Greenwich, CT has pretty good snow removal too, but that example doesn't help at all in Detr

Let's make my sample size 2, then. How privileged are you?

I can't say I agree fully with you, but there's definitely something about today's activists that seem odd. MLK protested in suits and ties to convince the american public blacks were respectable citizens who deserved equal p

In my experience, the people saying "the ability to not pay attention to politics is privilege" are typically privileged rich white women, not oppressed minorities - those people don't like talking about politics in knitting

250 days is mon-fri, with three days off. 250 * 2 * $20 is $10,000. That sounds like a lot, but - it depends on what you gain/lose. If you can avoid buying a car (plus insurance and gas), and live a little further away, in a place that

I'm motivated to make the world better, not to support any particular policy. If UBI is a good policy, I'm motivated to make it work. If UBI isn't a good policy (e.g. if the expenses or changing incentives would cripple socie

Come on. The world isn't divided into people who agree with you and psychopaths. That's such a juvenile and unhealthy way of looking at the world. People who oppose UBI generally worry about cost (which they feel they will pay) an

I think you might be missing my point. Maybe an analogy - the classic problem in distributed database is CAP - consistency, availability, partition tolerance - pick two. Historically, a lot of people picked AP to build their highly availabl

No, it doesn't add up. I can see dozens of groups filling up and queueing at my groups level as I wait for matches. Worse, many of my matches just aren't that evenly balanced. Even if you believe the game is dead now, things were

It's a little bit more complicated than that. The primary "extreme weather" predictions I remember from 20 years ago was more hurricanes. We do seem to observe and name more hurricanes (in part, at least, due to much better w

I think, if you looked a bit closer, you'd find that Wikipedia is more opinionated about certain topics than others. On Wikipedia, Ted Kaczynski is a domestic terrorist first, and a mathematician second, but Bill Ayers is an education

Sure. The article for Bill Ayers describes him as an "elementary education theorist." That's not what he's notable for.
