    Which Palestinians has Israel been a racist project to? The Israeli Palestinians that make up 20% of the population? Or the ones living on the other side of the border? I'm not sur…

    Ah yes, the west bank, where they have a leader who's graduate thesis is in holocaust denial[0] and where they incentivize murdering innocent civilians[1]. [0] https://en.wikipedia…

    I'm unconvinced -- Certainly this will happen gradually, and there will be widespread public support for a solution. It's not to hard to imagine making online reviews or "high qual…

    What if the number of people upset with the schedules was actually much larger (and more diverse), but only privileged families felt comfortable or justified protesting the schedul…

    Ah, too bad this mission to the moon isn't political, otherwise you might have found a connection!

    And that's why Google's recruiting has the extra step of a hiring committee which didn't meet the candidate. Interviewers fill out interview feedback based on how their interview w…

    Most of the energy of getting a rocket to orbit is in achieving orbital velocity, not orbital altitude :/. Unless you accelerate your satellite really really fast, it'll just fall …

    Well, it's like the restaurant example. If I search for "restaurants", it shouldn't give me restaurants in Shanghai because that's the city with the largest population. It should g…

    I know with plastics, "flame treatment" is a common way to prepare surfaces for bonding (with epoxy). I could imagine that maybe flame-treating concrete has some benefits for tunne…

    This isn't about diagnosis, it's about monitoring already at-risk patients. He clearly stated nurses take this sort of measurement manually for at-risk patients, it's a simple solu…

    I kinda hate advertisements. News generates value and requires resources to write. The advertisement model was alright, but clearly WSJ decided that they're better off just forcing…
