I’m having a hard time squaring reasons 1 and 2. If legacy admits struggle, are they really being coddled? Personally, I didn’t apply to Hopkins because it sounded like boot camp. So your reason 2 seems a lot more…
The funding for this research is minuscule fraction compared to the agriculture industry. Exploring this part of the potential solution space is worthwhile, even if it doesn’t end up being the best way forward. We need…
Sure you could choose to define the terms that way, but I think it would cause confusion given the wide understanding that climate change refers specifically to the phenomenon formerly known as global warming.
Running a company such as this is like living in a shark tank. Powerful, convincing people are going to lobby you to do what they think you ought to be doing. See the recent privatization of .org for how things can go…
The Ivy no-loan policies are a relatively recent development.
Trading based on inside information? This is verging on “not even wrong”. Are you aware that Theranos was not a public company?
Two hours is a very long Caltrain, do you live in Gilroy or something?
Currently there is a very high rate of HOV lane violations. I wonder if they’ll enforce it more when it becomes a toll lane too.
I think this argument fails because “firm-space” is sparse. There are many companies, but there are way more possible companies given all the degrees of freedom. Also, the number of “competition events” is small.…
I think the “outcompeted” argument proves too much. Nobody does anything wrong, otherwise they would be outcompeted.
Think about how when an announcement is made, a bunch of detailed news stories drop at the same moment. This is pre-arranged. Companies employ PR professionals (or contract with PR firms) who have relationships with…
> Plus, the rules that interacted with establishment support to facilitate Clinton's win in 2016 were abolishes almost immediately due largely to the influence the Sanders factions gained in the DNC despite not winning…
Our moral intuitions are almost entirely determined by the society we live in. 30 years ago, 30% of people in the US supported gay marriage, and now it’s over 60%. Do you believe the number of good people doubled during…
I don’t understand, can you elaborate? Hiding some of your income reduces your tax paid regardless of whether you take the standard deduction.
I think it’s not a meaningful comparison because you aren’t growing your own hops.
In my experience nobody can tell what you’re doing at your desk (even if they can see the screen over your shoulder). So you can get face-time while learning for your own benefit.
I wouldn’t count it as productive when the outcome is he has to spend time in court explaining himself later. I’d venture to guess the time spends directing his employees is whether all the productivity happens.
This sounds like moving the goalposts for the definition of work.
>never run out of battery or require charging On this point, wireless headphones are massively superior. You only need to plug in wireless headphones when you’re not using them. You need to plug in wired headphones all…
LSD is sedating? Spoken like someone who never tried LSD.
It is really weird to be called a bro when I’ve been bullied by bros for half of my life. I came here to get away from the bros, and based on the behavior of people I encounter on a daily basis, this was successful.
If you’re going to go and blame Mexico, you ought to have at least a bit of evidence.
Good question! I think “pretentious” means “they are doing this to impress me, and it doesn’t seem authentic.”
I’d say this is a consequence of our outsourcing the manufacture of these products. Repairing electronics is a related skill to developing/manufacturing them. It makes sense that the economy we hire to build these…
I don’t buy this claim that Microsoft has good support for all their products. If my Windows machine is running slow will Microsoft support help me? Why do my family members keep asking me for help with their computers…
