You just assume every Muslim in that region is a terrorist? Based on what exactly?

I'm a similar age group / community and this sort of perspective is not at all uncommon, and it's legit. There is no "performative wokeness" going on in my experience.

I was just making a general philosophical point. Whether Prop C specifically is a good idea depends on a lot of empirical information that I haven't researched.

There is a pretty good Utilitarian case for taxing the rich to help the poor too. No sense of entitlement needed.

Honestly pretty pathetic that investors hadn't priced in the existence of bots into their valuation of the company. Perhaps I expect too much.

It is true that multiple parties (which first past the post prevents) would make forming coalitions around issues like this easier. Saying "this isn’t a conspiracy by one party or …

I think this is just way too simplistic of a view of it. People won't just follow two exact patterns of behavior regardless of their environment. We all have, to varying extents, a…

I agree with the authors points about blogging on facebook and having a decent logged out experience, but I want to push back against him lumping in anti-adblock pop overs. Every p…

Just as a response to the first section, you can't say that Uber is subsidizing both customers and drivers like they are separate costs. There is some margin, which is the differen…

One advantage of nuclear power relative to other renewable sources is that it that unlike wind/solar, it can provide consistent energy 24/7. Our energy storage solutions are simply…

There is so much irrationality in this thread and in public opinion in general... it makes we wish I could personally bet on Uber's future success. However, Uber is staying private…

While it gives me hope that legislation is at least acknowledging that the suffering of animals is something we might care about, it still is sad to see the same arbitrary pet/live…

How would you handle the market that emerges between the two currencies? If Gresham Money is deemed less valuable, and some market exists between the two currencies, it seems that …

I don't see how someone can credibly argue that raising income tax rates discourages innovation. As if Zuck or Gates wouldn't have started their companies if they only would have m…
