That would seem to incentivize employees to live farther away from work. If you spend 2 hours every day sitting in traffic, that's an extra 2 hours pay you receive. I know a lot of…

If hypothetically this analogy was even close to accurate, it would be entirely different because the remote is usually an order of magnitude less expensive than the TV.

I'd be curious to know if there's any organization that tracks layoff rate over time. It seems like the US Bureau of Labor Statistics used to do it, but Obama cut their funding [1]…

They told you this was going to happen in 2016 and will continue to maintain it for another two years. If you still haven't found an alternative by then, that's on you.

How could you possibly know whether this is a rare occurrence or not?

I find the whole survey incredibly suspicious. There's no way there were actually multiple people who thought Iran was an ocean.

+1. In order for this to be punishable in the US, they would have had to have known this press release was fake before publishing it which would be a much different story. The head…

By this logic, Google should get rid of ad targeting altogether. I wonder why they don't. They're clearly not as smart as you.

Not true. Please read the blog post. They're only allowing political ads to be targeted based on age, gender, or location. All other forms of targeting are now disallowed.

Check their social media. The people piling onto these protests are people who either don't know they shouldn't be talking politics in public or can't help themselves. Their twitte…

Have you tried purchasing health care before? It's not inexpensive. There's no way we could guarantee food, health care, and housing for everybody with no work requirement. Only a …

Wrong. Companies that buy advertising at games pay a pretty penny for it. Fans who buy tickets to games have paid to watch the game, not to advertise their cause. If fans want to a…

+1. I gave up reading halfway through after he complained about sexism for the tenth time without giving a single example. It seems like the author just wants to complain and doesn…

This would imply the only thing he uses his phone for is to type in his passcode.

This guy is pretty far left (to the point that he banned meat in his offices). I doubt conservatives and libertarians are going to be bending over backwards to defend him.

The comment you're replying to is suggesting a way to prevent a PR crisis like this, not a way to escape an ongoing crisis. It's hard to deny that there would be a much smaller PR …

Almost all studies about vegetarianism are born of an agenda to promote vegetarianism. To a meat eater, studying the effects of eating an all vegetable diet is the same as studying…

A whole bunch of irrelevant retorts + a personal attack. I've never seen a comment more deserving of getting flagged than this one.

One example is that news organizations will often choose not to report on crimes when they're committed by racial group A even when they report on the same crimes when committed by…

It's a bad idea for the same reason all other variants of socialism are a bad idea: it disincentivizes productivity. If it's possible to afford housing and food without working, so…

And the children are objective? I don't understand your point here. Objectivity has nothing to do with this.

Voting is only a Constitutional right for citizens. Hence the need to prove you're a citizen before voting.

1.81% is not a massive spike. Also, "breaking democracy" is quite dramatic. Democracy isn't broken just because your candidate lost.
