What’s not misleading about offering a “Buy” option and a lower-priced “Rent” option?

How is this different than reverse-i-search?

Roughly $350/mo at this point, and I’d love to 10x it this coming year. I have an Etsy business that I set up last year that doesn’t require much input from me and uses third party…

Most of these are agreeable enough. "Unconscious bias training" seems like a bit of a stretch, but I haven't taken it to know whether it's helpful. 2, 3, 4, 6 are fair, I'd say. > …

What reasoning does Damore have to lie?

Right, and I get that your counterpoint is against the person above you. However, that doesn't change the context of Damore's argument, which is saying that interests may differ du…

Exactly. Affirmative action causes everyone, including the person, to question whether they got there on merit or based on filling some quota. Multiple biases are created.

Yes, but this raises the issue of affirmative action causing bias about innate abilities, and that's absolutely true. If you knew there were a lower bar for people who had red hair…

I've been using git-standup for a while: https://github.com/kamranahmedse/git-standup Seems similar.

Good points. I guess if a service like Uber is barely profitable, it won't make sense. On the other hand, if there's a good profit margin to be made, I'd want to see how well it do…

tl;dw: Basic Income has been so thoroughly theorized and determined to be a stupid idea that we shouldn't try it or we'll end up a welfare state forever.
