Reactors on Navy vessels, since at least the 70s, are very safe. They are closed systems and are completely sealed in compartments surrounded by feet of shielding. While some negligible amount of radiation does get…
I have no skin in the game; didn't even read the article. "You're just being contrarian so you're wrong" is a weak and lazy retort. I did appreciate that op provided a counter-perspective though; that's rare.
Science, indeed any intellectual thought, won't progress without contrarian views challenging the/your status quo.
A conservative wanting to limit the power of government? Shocking! Seriously though, this position is consistent with conservative beliefs; why do you find it hard to believe? Even the infamous Rush Limbaugh opposed…

Given the context, I suspect the parent was referring to the overhead caused by managing incompetents. Given the choice between working with an asshat who knows what they're doing and a moron who doesn't understand the…
Thought experiment: how would you feel if YouTube banned all pro-trans content? ...or pro-choice, or anti-Isreal/Jewish material? It doesn't matter to me if you're against companies censoring any of these things. Be…

It's usually government types (DoD, FDA) pushing for this stuff, and lots of it. The thinking appears to be, "The more the paperwork, the better the product".
Google FI user. I can confirm it fantastic great for international travel.
I was expecting the same, so I was surprised when it wasn't. Why would you be disappointed?
I'm sure the comments were made in jest...

All the FAANGs are American companies, and they've all been pushing the boundaries. What do you feel America has lost in this respect?
FYI, CTOs at startups often directly interview and hire technical candidates...
It would be nice if articles like this appeared in non-conservative media. Unfortunately, theses days, the only way to find articulate conservative perspectives is to visit conservative outlets.
