The answer is clout. A 25 employee software company that is equally innovative on a per-head basis would get laughed out of the government offices if they requested a rate-equivalent tax break. Your point is taken, but the ability of Tesla

It's the presumption that traditional household structures are archaic. Plenty of modern households operate on the basis of traditional role separation, and it has nothing to do with oppression.

Many of us in the US still use exclusively cash for POS. For us, blasé attitude is to be expected.

The Boston Beer Company (maker of Samuel Adams) is still technically a craft/micro brewery, since they produce (intentionally) less than 6 million barrels annually. The entire craft brew industry produces less than 8% of all domestic b

Excessive protein ingestion causes kidney failure, hypertension and heart attacks. Too bad for you that there is absolutely nothing in the current medical literature that supports these ridiculous claims.

Meta Prediction: As has occurred everywhere else on the web, two-sided discussion of this topic will be buried and censored rapidly here, as well.

Is it that the Russian propaganda so strong The opposite, actually. Many of us see through the transparent and obviously ham-fisted attempts of the U.S. propaganda machine to drive us into another war.

6% returns in a ZIRP environment are actually quite fantastic. Even junk bonds yield less than that.

This is only accurate within the perpetually-expanding conception of "human rights" that many seem to assume is static.

Not to sound like a AGW denier, but is this really how science is supposed to be done? 1. Posit hypothesis A, with predictions X 2. Gather data to falsify A for twenty years 3. Data contradicts predictions X 4. ??? 5. Invent hyp

Where are you seeing 20-25% effi PV modules? The physics of silicon's bandgap prevents getting much above 18% without (expensive) multiple junction layers (of different material) or concentrators, which tend to reduce module lifecycle

"all the time" in the mind of Shanley Kane, et. al. Disclaimers like these are mainly CYA statements such that the rabid hordes of social justice warriors don't throw Y Combinator under the bus on Pando because of a disgruntl

Even the part about concluding an academic presentation by shooting a colleague in the face? Exactly what kind of ridiculous caricature of the US does your local media give you?

Ok, I've read the article twice and I am missing something here. I get how these can be used to help imaging, but I'm not clear on how exactly they target cancerous cells in particular. Are they attached to antibodies that seek ou

No basis? The basis is that these people choose, of their own agency, to shoot up with used needles. This isn't some poor guy getting the cancerous genetic bit flipped by a cosmic ray or an uninsured single mom getting disabled by a dr

An easy fix here is for the patient to be evaluated for fault. If you got Hep C via botched transfusion, you're covered; if, however, you are a degenerate who chose to scrounge up used heroin needles from alleyways, then you're no

It's scientific fact that intelligence as measured by any manner of g-factor psychometry has heritability correlates of between 0.4 and 0.5. Furthermore, studies such as the Minnesota transracial adoption study show clearly that these

Except that, as has been demonstrated, the position itself carries particular requirements for the candidate's personal political opinions.

In which upper-class HN tells someone who grew up poor how poor people think. And then downvotes the heretic, despite relevant, first-hand experience contribution to discussion. Nice.

Right. This is due to about 10% inspiration and 90% petroleum. We are 100W machines with 10kW energy footprints. You can do a lot of work with that.

Stereotypes are a primitive form of decision heuristics. We must use heuristics when dealing with the enormous volume of information that we are required to process on a day to day basis, or we would never get anything done as we evaluate

I can start. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi/10.1371/journal.po... To wit: men and women vary wildly in their personalities, and it is very likely this is due far more to different (genetic) sexual

Because "a disability" is extremely broad, and covers such things as back injuries, diabetic neuropathy, and mental illnesses. I would expect that percentage to come down considerably when factoring specific disabilities that actu
