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…
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…
> Due to some [reason], an overpopulation calamity hasn’t yet happened and we might coincidentally stabilize at a level that’s somewhat close to what maximizes average utility... Given the birthrate trends in developed…
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…
"Hey Whitey! Check your privilege!" You're right, there's no insult intended when people say that. Apparently whiteys have thin skin too!
What's your position on vaccines? There's all kinds of stupid decisions being made on both ends of the debate right now, most influenced by fear...
The data suggests western countries _are_ leading the way on plastic waste disposal. It's high time we started helping others, don't you think?
I'm sure the comments were made in jest...
Poppycock! A. Private companies cannot force you to do a single thing! Governments have entire agencies and departments dedicated to keeping people they deem dangerous in line, using a list of powers up to and including…
Not many neanderthals around these days. Just an observation.
...but perforce getso many other things wrong....
What 'greater good' can possibly be achieved by having to literally write the same app 5 different times?

All the FAANGs are American companies, and they've all been pushing the boundaries. What do you feel America has lost in this respect?
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.

That's makes no sense... Why do you do it? Are you trying to speed up the revolution?
So you're saying if there were multiple causes and one of them was corrected, his numbers wouldn't catch it, right?
You are making very general statements and treating them as if they apply to the entire homeless population. If you have an interest in fixing problems you should appreciate that people's circumstances vary and so will…
Well, yes. Who the hell would spend a few hours a day on a website that constantly redirected them away from content and towards ads they didn't want to see?
Who the heck has time to read all these comments???
Is there an equivalent to Godwin's Law for Ayn Rand?
Parent post is probably referring to the relatively new phenomena of issuing "participation prizes" instead of prizes for winning, this insulating the participants who "lost" from the stigma associated with being a…
If a dataset removes all information except for, say, a user's fingerprints, meaning the only information stored in the anonymous dataset is an image of a fingerprint. The nature of fingerprints prevents them from…
