Not to be pedantic, but this would make you not so "pro capitalism as it comes". The ability to develop and sell houses, but not hold them (in service of rent-seeking) runs contradictory to the very core tenant of…
> No one says disabled people cannot attend elite universities The author spent the byline and first half of the article trying to explain that these universities wouldn't accept people with disabilities because they're…
The CDC reports that 1 in 4 Americans are disabled. Sure 38% is higher than 25%, but the 38% number is the worst case scenario, two of the other universities cited only had 20% of students who were disabled, below the…
Why is it so hard to believe that disabled people can be accepted into "elite" universities? I think the article author, and many of the commenters here, are conflating "normalised behaviours" with "intelligence". As a…
> if it's "learn and forget", then it might be testing the wrong incentives The thing I find interesting is that when most people talk about standardised tests, they are talking about assessments that benchmark how much…
Put yourself in the student's shoes: instead of being required to rote memorise every detail and hold that in your head until the end of the year, you are now only required to be assessed at the time that you are…
Some very important context that the researchers don't mention: during the same period that they are claiming test scores improved because of phone bans, Florida changed the way they administer standardised tests.…
Are we supposed to just accept that because something is status quo, it’s permissible? The consequence for “stealing” food should never be death, ever, in any scenario. It’s also interesting that people taking and…
“Fire at unarmed crowds” and “fire towards crowds” is the same thing, what sort of semantic ping pong is this? Also propaganda =/= bad. All media is propaganda, in some languages the word “propaganda” has the same…
In formal logic we would call this kind of argument a "post hoc justification". Any company who does anything payments-related is going to be primarily motivated to allow the most amount of transactions possible…
There are very good reasons for KYC, the problem here is not the government regulation, it's once again private companies being sloppy with their customer's data because sloppy is cheap and it's not their info on the…
I never understood the anti-capitalist argument to be that it’s a top down system (and thus is why it’s “bad”), I think the critique is more that capitalism will inevitably beget hierarchies and self-reinforces them.…
> you can expect that one or both sides will be using drones, at least for surveillance if not for offense How is this any different than the risk that is currently present? Surveillance technology, in this day and age…
You created your account today on a tech discussion board where you aired a personal grievance you have against a company that has a proven track record of operating above the board and accused them of "stealing" your…
So the “weapons of war” in question are… cameras? But because those cameras are also used by the Russian military that means that China Bad? Meanwhile gun laws in the US would like to have a chat…
It sounds like you're just frustrated at being in an (understandably frustrating) situation. Your post wasn't removed, it probably was just outvoted. Breathe.
Their quickest publicly listed SLA is 6 hours. I realise $50k is a lot of money, but give it some time. Though frustrating, and wrong on their part, no money was stolen. You'll get it eventually.
You most likely got caught in some sort of automated detection. Have you tried reaching out to their customer service?
This is an impossible question to answer, nobody can predict the future. It’s not always a given that we would simply regress to what came before it, that’s the point. You don’t have the ability to predict the future…
Yes they would require those things, but there would no longer be an incentive to use energy sources that have the marginal benefit of making a few people very rich with the incredible downside of killing our planet.
Nobody here brought up serfdom except you and your snarky comment doesn’t provide anything of value or broaden the analysis here. The absence of capitalism doesn’t beget serfdom, it doesn’t even beget socialism or…
Except the decades of materials science research demonstrates that even independently of those economic incentives, scientists understand that although plastics are incredibly valuable in a variety of applications,…
Not sure why this was downvoted, it’s a perfectly reasonable explanation. Even ideas as abstract as private property comes into play here, private owners are incentivised to make the most of their investments, and when…
> don't make a black-and-white there-is-no-alternative declaration that other people have no choice in the matter say the person who quite literally can't accept that there can be more than three letters in an acronym,…
Trans is an umbrella term that can be used to refer to anybody who does not identify with or express the gender they were assigned at birth (https://www.hrc.org/resources/sexual-orientation-and-gender-...). Having…
