The reason it doesn't make sense is that I think everyone (even his defenders) are misreading the offending sentence. "If I were a Jew" is meant to inform his "concern" not his "appetite". The insatiable a

You must walk before you can run. An Oregon carbon tax could serve as a model to others, and help inch us toward international consensus. It's a coordination problem; signalling serves an important role.

It astounds me that an article about government officials going on an unwarranted fishing expedition through a journalist's entire digital life would be flagged on HN. Particularly when previous stories of CBP demanding access to tech

The author is incorrect - his shoe is a Vapor Glove 2, not a 3 - as evidenced by the design and clearly visibly label. And the Vapor Glove is definitely not a follow-up to the Trail Glove, it's a different shoe. Merrell still makes Tr

The requisite starch for dondurma (Turkish ice cream) is banned from export, due to the rarity of the orchids that produce it (also slow growth and very low yields). I'd be surprised if anyone regularly makes dondurma in the US.

C-16 just adds gender identity to the list of identities you're already not permitted to discriminate or advocate violence against (race, color, ethnicity, religion, age, sex, disability). It does not prohibit debate over pronouns. Go
