I don't mean "socializing the costs" in the sense that the public sector is paying for it, but the employees are. It's a common strategy to spread your externalities and costs amon…

No, but if many people are working from home (and socializing the costs of office space), then the company has less incentive to keep an office around at all, leaving people who pr…

Not GP, but I would imagine it's mainly a privacy concern. Some people feel that the government knowing you have guns defeats the purpose of having them in the first place, as they…

por que no los dos?

Nice to see this video here, I know CGP Grey is (or, atleast was) an avid HN lurker. If you're seeing this Grey, I'm a big fan, thanks for the videos and podcasts over the years :)…

This is the best way I've ever heard it described

For me, it doesn't seem to alter the frequency of the underlying tinnitus "signal", but it does add some lower frequency rumbling, which I believe is my tensor tympani response.

Isn't significantly disturbing the peace kinda the entire point of protest? I would wager many of the protests and demonstrations done during the Civil Rights Movement in the US "s…

I would imagine this is a situation where cost won over convenience. Particularly in the appliance space, products are often made actively worse in the name of driving down cost. A…

I recently questioned this when setting up my mother and grandfather with TV and internet for their new house. The internet TV provider either don't have, or charge so much extra f…

Video of a tragedy, while deplorable, is not on the same planet as plans for a nuclear weapon. Are you also of the opinion that thing like live leak should not exist/be accessible?…

What happens when you eventually do catch an upper respiratory disease, and your immune system is no longer used to the challenges it presents?

Here's the thing: What about the vaccine is saving the lives of others? It doesn't prevent spread. It simply provides you with protection from the virus for a limited period (~270 …

Who says the picture would have the same affect? What if it turns out there's less racial bias when a picture is added?

The problem isn't exclusive to PCs. The PS5 and Xbox Series X use the same process as AMD CPUs and Nvidia GPUs, and tons of people have had trouble getting their hands on them.

It is strange how no one ever talks about the deadliest mass shooting in US history. Especially since the perpetrator supposedly had no motive. Oh well, it's probably all these pes…

Is there reasonable suspicion to believe that the political split around it was/is intentional? To me, it seems as if the mainstream media outlets are needlessly ripping this drug …

The upper class actively pushes for laws and policies that protect them from class warfare. It's a part of the strategy.

ever thought about, idk, breaking those protest laws? This defeatist attitude is exactly how totalitarian states are established. God forbid people put down the hamburgers and actu…

Worrying about getting other people sick when you do not reasonable suspicion that you are sick is a moral trap. If something is "everyone's" responsibility, then it really is _no …

Are you really going to label Head Coaches of major sports programs as PE teachers? The reason they are paid highly is because they carry the majority of responsibility in the succ…

I'm down to work on this idea.

Geez the anti-crypto circlejerk is real. I understand that it's incredibly wasteful and inefficient, but on a global scale I'd be willing to wager it's not even a drop in the prove…

Because it isn't just happening in the construction industry. There are restaurants in my town offering a $3000 bonus if servers and cooks commit to 4 months of work. They literall…
