With qualified immunity the only people allowed to enforce that are prosecutors, but they often can't afford to jeopardize their relationship with police. Federal prosecutors are f…

I didn't see any ads on their chocolate article, and according to wikipedia they don't accept any advertising.

I still don't understand the connection. I assume the term "company store" is being used to invoke the exploitative nature of living in a company town and being paid in scrip. How …

Ok, but not everyone can afford it. When there's a dearth of apartments and you can't afford your own detached house, you're forced to share a house with other people. People do no…

What would you prefer that they say instead? "I made no wrong decisions, I have no regrets leaving all of you unemployed."?

Wow, I had no idea that there's currently a nuclear powered cargo ship in service: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sevmorput I'd love to see it, but I'm a bit pessimistic about the…

I expect that they are getting lower output per acre, but in places where land is cheap and as solar panels continue to get cheaper, the money saved on building the support structu…

Right, a more reasonable argument would be just that the risks outweigh the benefits for some users, especially if they aren't currently using notifications on any legitimate sites…

Thanks to USB-C I just keep my Ethernet cable plugged into my monitor (via a USB dongle), and now when I plug in my external display I not only get power but also wired networking.…

I don't see how this is a relevant argument. Police can already use deadly force when someone poses an immediate threat to themselves or others. Using deadly force via a remote con…

I always understood speed to be the main problem, not acceleration. If you're going to lock something behind regulation, shouldn't it be speed?

That would explain a difference in price per square foot, but it doesn't explain why there are fewer small homes built further from busy roads. If anything you'd expect the opposit…

3 more family members are about to move into my house. No matter how much I tell myself that having a larger household and more social time will be "good for me", and of course hav…

I've talked to one of my senators, three of my congressman, and my mom's congresswoman. I'm not that rich and I certainly don't make political donations large enough for them to no…

But classwork is what you'll have to do in college anyway. It's not the admissions criteria that's the problem, it's the format of undergraduate higher education itself. A pull-up …

> I went back to the community college, got perfect grades Presumably they had a separate GPA, or at least term-specific GPAs, from their second round of community college.

A member of congress voting for $10B of useless defense spending because they're heavily invested in the relevant aerospace company isn't committing insider trading. Perhaps this i…

Yes, people should absolutely feel a social obligation to make at least some concessions to the greater good. While this isn't a complete substitute for regulations that systematic…

While those activists are being stupid, this argument is even worse. A heavier car is intrinsically more dangerous to those around it, as the article we're commenting on explains. …
