These are not usually the types who would be interested in the care and maintenance of fruit trees. Why bother with all that work when you can steal from your neighbors?
This reads like a Tesla ad and a warning to anyone thinking of becoming self-sufficient. Wouldn't want too many people being able to generate their own electricity otherwise how would you control them?
What about the environmental waste of running World of Warcraft servers? Playing video games? Watching Netflix? Imagine how much electricity we'd save if everyone shut off their gaming PC/console, we could put it toward…
It's funny because this is the EXACT line the left has been parading around after every single islmaic terrorist attack. They say "not all muslims! don't blame islam, it will only radicalize them further!". Whether this…
So when do we get to write articles saying East Asian people are better at science than Australian Aboriginal people? That White people are less impulsively violent than Black people? Why is this allowed?
Isn't this OK though for most use-cases? Startpage will effectively act as a proxy for your searches, preventing Google from associating your searches with your identity. It still feeds them though, which I suppose is a…
Bitcoin won't free people who won't lift a finger to learn it just like the US constitution won't protect people unwilling to defend it. I've yet to meet someone who is unable to understand the basic use of bitcoin…
How is this elitist? Do most people understand the current financial system in any meaningful way? Do most people understand how their computers work? How their air conditioner works? How about the pressure dynamics…
I'm curious as to why you don't think diversity programs are not exactly that: discrimination programs. Enforcing quotas assumes (usually incorrectly) that there is an equal supply of talent within the underrepresented…
Is that not what a diversity program amounts to? If the candidate was superior on merit alone then market forces would reward those companies that ignored race and gender in their hiring decisions and punish the…
>There is no research (to the best of my knowledge) claiming that there are biological differences between the same sex of different races. Actually there are numerous observed differences in physical ability that are…
How about female coal miners? Female construction workers? This isn't about fairness it is all about browbeating people from a perceived moral high ground so that wages can be lowered for all (more supply of programmers…
Actually, diversity measures make things worse by promoting below-average candidates unfairly based on their superficial attributes (skin color, sex etc). This actually achieves the opposite of what is intended as it…
>The reality is that tech companies led by women do better Wow, what a sexist thing to say. Ignoring Marissa Mayer for the moment, are you claiming that women are inherently better at something than men? Isn't that a…
As a woman I appreciate your use of "miss moneybags" instead of the classic "mr". Little changes like this are really what we need to reverse the patriarchal dominance women have been subjected to since forever. Just…
Do you think these people don't have extensive private security? The elite could easily take on a whole city of rioters with the resources at their disposal. When the gloves come off and it starts being about survival…
Germany has "volksverhetzung" which amounts to hatespeech laws. To me it seems like an intentionally broad law banning "incitement of hatred", a noble goal for sure, but still not free speech. They also have laws…
So then based on the admittance data Asians have it easiest? Must be due to discrimination in their favor, not because they are pressured to get good grades and do well. Surely you see the hypocrisy of such a position?
If the shoe was on the other foot would we be so quick to write it off? If Google was run by right-wingers and fired LGBT activists would we say "they can do whatever they want since it is their company"? Why do we not…
Freedom of speech (which Germany does not have) is a core tenet of democracy. If the government can police what we say then it follows that they can prevent those from being elected that they do not agree with. For…
So what happens when you run out of places to run to? Do you just wave goodbye to your Jewish neighbors? Put a headscarf on your wife and tell her not to go outside without a male relative? Head down to the gulags for…
Outside of the mess that is Bitcoin they are much cheaper than what credit/debit cards charge. More advanced coins like Ethereum take under a minute for an appropriate number of confirmations.
India doesn't seem like an ideal location based on the number of tech emigrants going to other countries. What do you think of this phenomenon? Is there a reasonable explanation that doesn't try to skew it as "They are…
Biodiversity is already dead my friend. Corn and Soy absolutely eclipse other crops in USA because they are the most profitable to produce. I'm also pretty sure we are talking about different things here, you seem to be…
I don't think the Chinese citizens have a choice about whether they say they like their government or not. The Hundred Flowers Campaign was pretty brutal.
