Without meaning to be tedious, Daniel do you mind explaining what a metric (a measurement?) is, what a structured observation is, and (if not immediately clear) add a sentence or two on what the difference between the two amounts and why th

The States are not a democracy. They are a democratic (all citizens) republic (government by proxy vote). See nitrogen''s reply. A democracy would indeed find it easy to change such things as the TSA. Unfortunately a democracy would also fi

It's a point on a subjective continuum of how responsive the car ui is. If cars are not your preferred tool, you likely don't care and won't notice differences that would stand out to a self identified 'driver'. I like fountain pens. I proc

An alternative reading: 'in this day and age' might refer to some future of extravagant wealth only surpassed by the generosity and grace with which the inhabitants thereof adorn themselves.

Human trafficking is the new drugs. Apparently it's enormously more profitable to import sex workers and keep them in a kind of narcotic/whatever assisted slavery, because of the reuse of the person vs. the consuming nature of the drug.

My understanding is World War I. Apparently passports and visas were an innovation inspired by the militarism and nationalism that swept Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. However governments rarely divest themselves of power

What a pity (well, not really) that race, whatever that is, is a false proxy for the diversity of outlook desired. What a shame it is far more likely to be shown by e.g.: personality type, communication style, preferred role in group dynami

For the same reason that pizza delivery drivers (ahem) do. The Internet is wide open, and even aspirational hackers and wantrapreneurs can benefit from lessons learned. I read pg's essays starting in 2006.

I've wondered about variants on democracy. The parliamentary and constitutional forms seem to me to incentivize (for those who want power) going along to get along. Sophists, flatterers, demagogues; there is no good incentive to vote, only

I'm nobody! Who are you?/ Are you nobody, too?/ Then there's a pair of us--don't tell!/ They'd banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody!/ How public, like a frog/ To tell your name the livelong day/ To an admiring bog!
