According to OP, there is substantial evidence indicating about 50% of the daycares are scams. I've seen Nick Shirley's video, I don't think he demonstrated any concrete about any of the sites he visited (he's not a very

Right, that was the number I had in my head... and that's for the whole war. This guy apparently believes 300k were killed in the first month, but I have no idea where that's coming from.

> You're arguing that if a country is attacked, it's ok to kill civilians that are unrelated to the attack? How on earth did you get that from my comment? Can you think of a more charitable way to interpret what I said?

300,000? Can you cite something for that? Edit to add: Also, Israel was actually attacked, and civilians were raped, kidnapped, and murdered. Did any of the protestors in Iran kill, rape, or murder any of members of the regime who subsequen

I find it much easier to take a strong stand on Russia/Ukraine than on Israel/Palestine. The history of Israel/Palestine is much more of a gray area. Palestine has used plenty of aggressive actions and rhetoric that make Isra

I think "no wars of conquest" is a bright line that was crossed by Russia, that hasn't been crossed by other nations in a long time. And I think it's important for the whole world to take a stand on that, not just the na

Plainview: You gonna change your shipping costs? Tilford: We don't dictate shipping costs. That's railroad business. Plainview: O-oh! You don't own the railroads? Course you do. Of course you do.

You’re misunderstanding the question - he’s asking how Shopify could avoid jurisdiction , not avoid this suit. Jurisdiction is a threshold question before you get to the merits… maybe Shopify did the bad thing, maybe they didn’t, but befor

Other than the one about using only one platform, which you referenced, it seems like he's really just asking for clarity from maintainers about what contributions they would like, and how they would like them to be provided. What item

Yes, I have one big beancount file tracking everything back to 2014. I use fava for visualization and git for history/backup. I've occasionally gone back and split or moved accounts, based on what metrics I want to track at that m

Gun control - fair point, this is one where I think an ambitious legislator could really make a name for themselves by pushing for it. I suspect that there would be more pushback from the electorate than is indicated in the polling, but who

What policy proposal related to the Israel-Palestine conflict do you think would actually be agreed to by more than 50% of the US electorate?

OK, the only modern example on your list is TARP. I think the strength of your examples does not justify the strength of your statement. Actually, I just read your update, you've changed from making a bold (and, in my view, wrong) stat

Yes, the article mistakes punchlines for comedy. Watch some of Norm MacDonald's stuff on Conan (troubled moth, Jacques de Gatineaux, drunk dart thrower, Andy the Swedish-German)... sure, the punchlines fit the model in the article, but

It takes a lot of resources to provide modern amenities like clean water, sanitary sewers, electricity, gas, telecom lines, roads, etc. Economies of scale make it cheaper to provide these things if people live closer together.
