It's like everyone forgot that "lines of code" as a productivity metric was a running joke for a decade-plus. The real bottleneck in our work isn't producing boilerplate code, it's producing more or less the right kind…
It's almost like an emergent feature of a tool that's literally built on best guesses is...guesswork. Not what you want out of a tool that's supposed to be replacing professionals!
That's the thing - we already know that each given interest group has common interests. That's how you build coalitions, by finding those common interests and tamping down on the differences. The problem with the youth…
The lesson is that making your sole priority driving youth turnout is a losing strategy, for reasons that are not that confusing. The Bernie lamenters would do well to learn lessons from his failures, rather than…
Gonna have to force-feed them enough pizza, maybe tricking them that it's causing the other three great pains to give it to them. Fortunately, it's been shown that these people are very easily tricked.
I mean, they tried that in the primaries and young people still stayed home. If they actually came out in force for Bernie like you said they would, he would have won every primary. Young people simply don't vote…
I feel like you shouldn't get to criticize protests for not being violent enough if you're not already performing sufficiently-violent protests. "Firebombing a Walmart" meme really is evergreen.
Well, some people can win. Other people will simply die of massive blood loss. As long as it's not you, right?
Don't you know, this is a vibes-based economy now? Numbers are meaningless when compared to feelings.
There is zero guarantee that these tools will continue to be there. Those of us who are skeptical of the value of the tools may find them somewhat useful, but are quite wary of ripping up the workflows we've built for…
As opposed to the implication that Robinson is somehow a leftwing activist, confidently claimed by every GOP politician from coast to coast? Also, even if it were, as you say, "misinformation", that is now somehow taboo…
You literally only had to read one more sentence: "With Monday’s announcement universal child care will be extended to every family in the state, regardless of income. This amounts to an average annual family savings of…
Maybe a comet?
Or, you know, we can do both at the same time? Also, once police are no longer occupied ticketing motorists, I hope cyclists are prepared for actually being held accountable to laws. The police budget isn't going to…
Of course, this is not really a useful (or provable) criticism as long as the actual obstructionists are obstructing! Much more useful to oust the obstructionists, then you can work on holding the alleged lip-servicers…
Yeah, the horrible pay in private school is proof enough that the "free" market is the absolute wrong way to go if you want better teachers.
Well, if you get to teach a lot of well-off kids who have a lot of extra support at home and you can siphon off the undesirables onto others, you get good marks when most of them inevitably "succeed". If you have to…
Here's a good way to think about it - there is no world where education improves if teachers are not a well-paid profession. It's a race to the bottom, as we're seeing today. So if you want to get better, you have to…
We price in externalities all the time. A lot of the time it's priced in as the cost of complying with government regulation, like food safety and labeling. Other times it's priced in the other direction, like subsidies…
The only thing that burned up in the atmosphere for the Space Shuttle program was the fuel tank. All the other components, including the booster rockets, were recovered and refurbished for reuse. The innovation here…
Actually, mere mortals pay tax eventually when they cash out their investments to pay for the things they want. The wealthy get to take low-interest loans against their investments to pay for the things that they want,…

Doing literally nothing would have already led to a better outcome than whatever waves hands this is.
I know this is a troll, but I'll respond anyway. If someone can prove he's discriminating against institutions on the basis of religion, he can be sued. Whether he takes money from the government or not doesn't matter…
>>> “let’s avoid abortion, if we can” >>> I see little argument to allow abortion in a logical sense This is akin to saying "let's avoid major surgery, if we can", and then arguing that this leads to the logical…
