Perhaps people over 30 just prefer quality over quantity in personal relationships.

The article says it will replace some other benefits that Finns currently have. If the project works then I assume other welfare programs will be folded into the basic income over …

Why would it be evil? It is merely self-defense. Why do we need to treat savages like little princesses just because they happen to be human? I mean if a dog acts too aggressive it…

Why do criminals need to be treated humanely though? Won't the deterrent effect of prison be reduced if we go too easy on them?

I think it's fascinating how hostile some people can get towards Soylent. It's like they think the mere existence of it is an attack to the core of their identity. I wonder if it's…

> A system that allows insider trading discourages participation by amateurs Not really, amateurs mostly make long term investments, they are not buying and selling based on quarte…

>Protectionism is how every nation on the planet developed You must be joking. Countries with open markets develop way faster than protectionist countries. If mercantilism is so go…

Common sense.

They can be professional all they like but if they only have money as a motivator to work at a place they hate then they'll just be poor performers. They won't have the energy to d…

Cultural fit can definitely impact performance. Imagine a luddite working for a biotechnology company, or an anarchist working for the government, or a muslim working for an atheis…

Unions don't donate directly, they make independent campaign expenditures through Super PACs. Look in the Independent Expenditures tab in the page you gave me.

> I'm just saying the result isn't representative and shouldn't be framed as the will of the people. Fine, but then you can't really frame anything as being or not the will of the …

Obama is a union-sponsored king actually, so it's all good I guess.

There are primaries and third parties, you know? That the final choice comes down to two mediocre individuals says more about the intelligence of the average voter than any sort of…

Sound like sour grapes and No True Scotsman to me. The president, who is leading negotiations, was elected democratically, and Congress, who decides whether this treaty becomes law…

> Who are these people who want to eat this because it's faster so they can work more? Or maybe they eat this so they can play more? I just find it totally disturbing that you've c…

You shouldn't take modafinil daily though as you can develop a tolerance. You should take it 3 consecutive days and then rest the other 4 days of the week. Also extreme focus kills…

So if someone offered you to kill al-Baghdadi for 10 bucks, you would just say no?

Your thought process is simplistic. It's not ok to murder good people, but it's ok to murder bad people. DPR was trying to kill an extortionist threatening to sell out Silk Road us…

Basic income is not a left vs right issue. Lots of libertarians (including Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek) support basic income as a more efficient safety net than government-…

Baby steps. Maybe an employee will ask to be paid partly in BTC which I'm sure they'll be happy to oblige to avoid the conversion fees.

If there is a program that sucks and the maintainer is unwilling to merge your changes that (according to you) make it better, then what choice do you have but to compete? Or are y…

You are being melodramatic. There is no anti-Tesla sentiment, at least here on HN. People were simply asking why didn't Tesla release the patents under an irrevocable, royalty-free…

"If you don't like it, write something yourself" is a perfectly legitimate answer, and people who have a problem with that answer are basically suggesting that we should just stop …

As an alternative you could combine Soylent with intermittent fasting to get keto benefits.
