    Unfortunately that's kind of the reality for NYC. Since Bloomberg left it's been a one party city and ranked choice voting is implemented in the primary but not the general electio…

    This argument reads like whataboutism. If you believe it's immoral to force Americans to pay for foreign aid then I don't see how the argument "well that money could be spent worse…

    This seems silly. I hate backwards compatibility but this change will just cause people to use `except BaseException` everywhere which seems even less idiomatic than bare excepts. …

    I 100% agree but unfortunately most people outright reject the moral argument

    Your premise is wrong. The point of a free market is to allow supply and demand to accurately determine pricing. It is not a desired effect of the free market for production costs …

    I'm getting one in May so I gave this a watch. The discussion on safety starts at around 6:30 with the concerns being over harvesting of donor areas, scarring, poor growth, and pot…

    Subreddit posts per day is really not a great metric to track engagement. You probably want comments or votes per day.

    I'll admit I was a bit snarky but my thanks was genuine - I enjoy learning why people believe the things they do. Anyways, my final argument is if an individual asset of a company …

    That's an interesting misconception of what capitalism is. I had not seen that one before. Thank you for sharing.

    Private ownership and the protection of those property rights are exactly what capitalism is. As long as there is no coercive entity dictating what YC can and cannot do with it's c…

    I enjoy how you jump to the defense of ravers and entrepreneurs and in the same sentence call a roadhouse located in Idaho "low class". There's something very poetic about this cog…

    This argument seems tautological. - If he's charging for the service now then he'll clearly do anything to maximize profits. - If the service remains free then he clearly needs to …

    That reason might be a nice scapegoat that they invented after criticism because it's mentioned nowhere in their official announcement. >There are three big reasons why we’re remov…

    I don't know where you got terrorism from. The definition under question is "domestic extremism" which is not well defined. Depending on who you ask an extremist can vary between a…
