You are very much missing the point. If you read the one thousand page postmortem on the invasion of Iraq - lots of blame to be placed on civilian leadership and intelligence. A fe…

Evaluating a business is tough. VC is like that because many of them missed many boats of very profitable startups in 2001 thru 2010, where "stupid business trick, now with softwar…

Again, the Black congressional representatives (which, due to districting were mostly representing Black people) were rather openly upset with him...for not going even harder . Tha…

Ehh, sort of. The congressional black caucus were ardent supporters of the war on drugs https://www.wnyc.org/story/312823-black-leaders-once-champio... So I'm pretty sure that what…

The state does not like those drugs because society does not like those drugs, and in the case of certain drugs, like heroin and other harder drugs we have decided that it is ratio…

No it will not. Larger incomes are only larger because of industrial machinery, the same process that makes it more expensive to buy "organic' is what drives income up. Software en…

Breakneck capitalism, so to speak is why I can get almost any material , consumer or professional, delivered to my door in a few days - including things that would be considered ex…

I unironically disagree with this, structured data is incredible and powerful. But an important part of the early internet was "its Just Text". And in fact, the reason why JSON is …

Alternatively, you have gotten used to Google providing you free services out of the goodness of their heart. This model was sustainable when the internet was adding millions of us…

Livelihood of employees is also a false start, unionization and the accompanying high wages are also a significant factor in the disparity between Western industry and China.

So the ideal blub language will be whatever language is too new to really be the legacy thing with tons of black magic you just have to know, but also too old to include tons of ne…

Top talent does not exist. This problem exists at big tech and startup, in companies that spend fractional multipliers of the average salary on engineers as well as those who pay p…

Price discovery was brought up, but think about it this way - if Good A is plentiful in Market A and scarce in Market B - prices will be very high in B but cheap in A. Robber Baron…

This is a half of a good idea, but frankly every road mile traveled, airline flight, walk to the grocery store creates some number of dead people - I find this reaction from SF to …

People willing to take risk on Wish because they are spending frivolously and would like to spend less frivolously. Scams are high, but not so high that you won't usually get what …

The list of things the commenter you're replying to brought up, in addition to "be attractive", is table stakes for receiving an iota of romantic attention from women. We talk a to…

What would a college that aimed to teach Web Development as a specialty actually look like? People look down on bootcampers, but it always feels to me that 99% of what is taught in…

"Two junior devs and a keurig" - that will totally wreck the system by refactoring it to "modern patterns" without bothering to understand what it actually did. But it's OK, they'r…

Similarly, however - urban cores want suburban business without having to deal with the low tax revenue of actual bedrooms. The city of Chicago is instructive, the city is (very sl…

Yeah see this is the problem - urbanist aesthetics demanding everyone live a very particular lifestyle, which includes a lot more than just urban living hamstringing projects.
