This is a totally naive way of looking at the situation. You're right there's no smoke in the room, there's only a massive multi-billion dollar corporation buying influence from someone powerful in government in the room. Tha

I find this easier to believe than that some of these events described actually happened.

Exactly my thoughts. I'm surprised that the majority of commenters here are taking this at face value. Especially, as you mentioned, the "implied hidden suicide/murder threat". If it was as the author described, 99% of p

It might also have to do with the fact that the author removed it from their own site and the link is now dead.

Translation: "Anyone who makes more money than me stole it". I suppose you don't think your enormous amount of wealth compared to the average human means it was earned off the back of others do you? How much money would be fa

No way, the bootcamps hire some of their students as teaching assistants which the students put on their resume?! What a scam! What kind of organization would ever do this. Oh wait, every college. Not a scam, duh. Want to hear the biggest s

I think his point is that it also may indicate that it's not (simply) a function of wealth, as the article suggests.

What a nice feel-good story which is totally not a marketing/PR concoction, albeit a brilliant one. The story is literally the Cheeto version of Good Will Hunting. Do you all honestly believe none of the hundreds of food scientists wor

Sounds nice on a bumper sticker but not really a point of view that stands up to scrutiny.

I find it very easy to imagine. So if women on-average would be more successful with "Learning Method X in Context Y" what's stopping someone from simply creating a school or company which facilitates people learning from tha

Ah the old "resource distribution" canard again.
21.
by gdix 8y ago
Is it a canard or a refrain. I'm confused. Also simply stating the thing someone says and saying it's a canard will convince no one. Person 1: makes argument Person 2: "Ugh this canard again ?!" Person 1: Uh yes. Nice

Yeah I agree, why ? Must not be that bad if they keep taking these miserable jobs. They can literally do anything else but they choose to stay.

Fair point, but applied to the original comment, is "not wanting to join a union" so selfish that one can't even understand how someone would have that position? I'd consider anyone who thinks so to be thoroughly ideolog

Which is why we allow for the free and voluntary severing of those relationships by either party.

Thank you for adding this context. Some people appear to be dead set on spreading misinformation on issues like this.

To me it's not clear if the court is leaving out some context here. "The State" may have mentioned that the counties were disproportionately democratic and disproportionately black in their justification but to say that WAS t

Ok yeah you're right then. That makes it a fair comparison. I'll remember that when I see someone passed out in the subway with a needle in their arm as I walk by with my kids.

Why is it a problem when a stranger breaks into your house and raids your fridge but not when you invite a close friend over for a meal? Both are seeking what they think is a going to be a meal. Both are ever so slightly changing the charac
