The most bizarre aspect of it is that the very same people that lament that fact, are also the ones who support all its causes and throw the most violent tantrums to scuttle improving the situation. We have tried it their way for decade aft

Child labor laws seem to be relevant here.

I think that mentality may change as people start coming to the realization that it will soon no longer be necessary or even possible to "scale up quick and capture market share" based on a theory of disruption. The gold rush of t

Quite interesting that Harvard Magazine would publish something like that. Doesn't that pretty much imply that Harvard is unnatural and abnormal

What a travesty of both justice, democracy, and government. Too big to jail, I guess. Ignorance is an excuse when you have a president running interference for you to undermine democracy, even if you knowingly and intentionally weakened and

That's a rather imbalanced perspective. China has grown not through organic development and innovation, but through global, state sponsored, commercial espionage; and in a country where the state is inextricably linked to even the &quo

Do you feel better after trying to be passive aggressively insulting? Let me guess, you have no comprehension for the fact that your comment is precisely the kind of infantile tantrum I was referring to; in the absence of argument or fact,

Considering that the definition of "hate speech" has already morphed into anyone addressing race, sex, gender, national origin, religion, etc. it seems we have already arrived at such a vile place you described. It absolutely bogg

Something that looking at this post reminded me of is how all our digitalization is very much abdicating control of information and even down right ownership. Does anyone remember the incident where Amazon just decided that they needed to d

I'm not quite sure what to make of a person like that offering a "post trump America starter pack". I for one want to MAGA because I have the dignity not to think that kind of book store is cool, or hip, or awesome or whateve

That was my thought to recently. If you have robots replacing low wage workers, which most people don't really realize was nothing more than the evolution of slavery, then you have zero incentive to produce in said low wage countries.

The newcomer Austinites that have flooded into the city over the last years are immensely butt-hurt about the whole Lyft/Uber ordeal. I suspect the first time someone is robbed or raped we'll get a cry-bully rant pushing blame ont

See Reddit and Facebook for a domestic examples. I know there are differing views on Reddit in particular, but reality simply is that the "moderation" has become well beyond moderation and is well into censorship and authoritarian

And the fear mongering commences. It's really rather abusive and manipulative how the establishment is just berating people with a sense of self-determination and dignity not to submit to central domination. If you think about it, it&#

I just found out that Firefox removed the 3D Inspector with v.47. It's a shame because that was an excellent tool for auditing and inspecting. If you haven't had the chance, give it a whirl.

Well, I can assure you that if train ridership increases, the risk will increase as a function of the attack vector and the threat by muslims. As that risk profile increases, so will the "security nonsense" and difficulty getting

I wonder if it will ever hit the mainstream that Nestle put plastic filler in jar baby food in order to drive sales as babies would need to eat more baby food because they would simply pass the plastics. If anyone's interested in pursu

It really kind of fascinates me why people are so obsessed with rail and high speed rail. What are the emotional reasons for it, because there are no rational and reasonable arguments for it that can't be refuted. It makes absolutely n

Bullshit! I will believe it when 2/3 or Americans put $1,000 or so deposit towards a high speed rail system.

It's kind of the de facto escape hatch for some and a baseline analogy many can comprehend because of decade long conditioning. It does not surprise me one bit. What's always rather surprised me though is that no one seems to have

The thing that kind of annoys me about the XPS is the location of the camera. It's in the bottom bezel of the monitor. They should have simply not put a camera in the machine because all you will ever get are upshots of your nostrils,

Don't worry, soon humans will have destroyed all habitats. We're working really hard, but we can't get to it all at once.

I don't see why you couldn't modify the concept to always include numbers and spacial characters. For example; your "password" could be a combination of words, numbers, and characters while the "thing you know"

Freeloaders are driving up costs, due to the oversupply of people and unmet demand for housing and finite goods and services. The pretentiousness it simply a cultural function of the types of people that are being attracted to Austin; a mix

Let me explain what you don't understand and can't follow. The massive influx of people into Austin has degraded what Austin was because it has exceeded any capacity to fully absorb them without a degradation. When you arrive at s

Let me guess; you are one of those new people and are resentful that people you are freeloading and mooching off of are resentful that you are destroying the community and society they built over time. Its the same thing in Austin, even tho

I am constantly reminded of that 90's movie Weekend at Bernie's where, in order to keep the party going, two guys drag a rich dead guy around and make it appear as though he's still alive in order to keep the party going and

Is that a fair assumption? I guess at that point you are simply biding time because if it ever comes out or there is even just a suspicion that you are lying your business is dead as word spreads across the internet
