I haven't seen anyone from Tesla or Uber going to jail when people died because they're beta testing autonomous cars on public roads. As cold and cynical it is, what the self-driving car "pioneers" are doing -- it&#x27

Freezing rents to fight increasing costs makes as much sense as limiting the maximum reading on thermometers to fight increasing temperatures. You realize that, logically speaking -- there's no analogy to be made here. Right?

That's generally what we wanted companies to do, Maybe so -- but as a response it completely dodges the question of whether or it has been a contributing factor or not.

No one is obligated to rent a property from someone else. That's a pretty weird statement to make. Do you really believe that everyone (or even a majority) of people who currently rent are in a position to buy a place to live if th

The solution is to build houses, It's one option among many. And by itself -- most likely not a sufficient solution (or any kind of a game changer). I just don't understand this stance at all. Basically the main reason this

The problem with housing there has one simple cause: NIMBYism It's definitely simple-sounding , as a single cause -- but unfortunately that doesn't make it so. Any sober analysis of the current housing crisis points to a conver

TL;DR: it is all about removing distraction. Which is just silly of course. It doesn't "remove" distraction - but rather ameliorates some of your distractions while creating others. And as with any other interface / a

Right-wing seem to like playing this card -- "If you haven't lived in [whatever country we feel to be fundamentally opposed to 'Western' values at the moment] then you have nothing to say on the matter" -- yet I hav

Sure I have - and like I said - it's easy to read this behavior from simply having a normal (but let's just say slightly inquisitive) conversation with someone. In fact even in recent memory I can think of multiple occasions wher

When interviewing people I usually push until I get the candidate to answer "I don't know" on SOMETHING, "just because I can". To me this technique comes off as condescending and manipulative, and smells like a p

What does this have to do at all with the job at hand? Nothing whatsoever. It really feels like there’s no connection to the reality of the role whatsoever anymore. You got that right. Basically what's going on here is that the pe

Your question was perfectly reasonable and should not have been downvoted. That said I'd recommend a quick keyword search on "assange" + "collateral damage" (which was the name of a polished version of the video he
