Who decides if a pregnancy is viable? If we go back to coat hanger abortions and render fetuses “unviable” that way, is everything peachy keen? If not, then are miscarriages now occasion for criminal investigations? Pro-life logic is garbag

Highly recommend reading The Dreamt Land by Mark Arax if you'd like to learn more about this. The plants should never have been planted. Decades of unregulated groundwater pumping and effectively stolen federal water is feeding what us

It's also kind of a sham, "reducing demand" basically means reducing the amount of cash people have to spend, since it currently exceeds the amount of goods we can supply. The nominal prices of things might go down but the av

Other commenters have done a fine job expressing why this napkin math is silly and perhaps in isolated cases this is a good thing, OP probably learned something here But in aggregate these sorts of comments are annoying as hell on every med

I personally have always had a hard time inhaling chapters of a textbook sequentially. It’s often easier to skim it first, attempt the problem set, and then go back when you get stuck. Forces you into a more active mode of looking for parti

I think this is why the fiat system is inflationary (low level inflation is seen as healthy). Assuming that productive projects exist, you never want lack of capital to be the reason that they're not done. The free market is never goin

The article is just clickbait. The title is obviously clickbait (based on your edit you've realized that "active account" !== "accounts that tweet"). Then they try to define active account: > “Spam or Fake Twitte

I've gotten a pretty reliable 400-500mbps over a "2gbps" powerline adapter. Granted this was in small 1-2br apartments, but you're probably dealing with only one coax jack in the whole place and it's not feasible&#x

I don't see what's wrong with doing this as long as it's what you're into. Not everyone needs or wants to get married and have kids in their 30s. Coding can be more fun than talking to people. That said, it's simply

It almost feels like the silly charging port was placed there on purpose. It tells users that you're not meant to use it plugged in, stop worrying about the battery, it'll be fine. And conversely it forces the engineers to build s

Yeah I heard we tried to end the slavery part somewhere along the way and have been somewhat successful, but we definitely kept the first one.

Don't you think the government deciding you're not fit for going to college would fall into this problem?

1. This is kind of a founding principle of the country, so... 2. This follows from #1, if we rule out nature then it must be nurture. Also, you must not be a parent if you'll accept "some kids are just dumb" as an excuse 3,4.

I think the cause/effect is reversed. Society is damaged because parents cannot raise kids properly for a variety of reasons. You have kids who don't come to school, entire classrooms where 80% of the time is spent managing behavi

Sure, if you save every cent and commit to being single without children for 8 years. But if you go to the dentist, drop your phone on accident, find an S/O, go to the gym, eat out every once in a while, buy some new clothes, pay off s

You could avoid shipping down the JSX templates but only by promising to never render a comment on the client. That's basically the approach taken by this React Server Components proposal: https://github.com/josephsavon

The lack of housing is not a issue of attracting investment. Canada (and basically every other country with a housing price crisis) is perfectly capable of funding construction with domestic investment. It is, as you mentioned, an issue wit

The problem is surge pricing isn't solving the underlying problem (i.e, undersupply of drivers). Uber recently moved to a model where the driver bonuses are disconnected from the actual surge amount: https://www.washingtonpo

How are they deceptive? I don't know where the idea that these keywords somehow mimic synchronous code comes from.
