I think the takeaway is that IQ is not comparable between individuals, but is comparable between points in time of one individual.

Sure, and now everyone knows to shred documents more thoroughly than Enron did.

Although I agree. A company should be managed such that moral transgressions that happen in lower levels should not be possible. That's exactly the reasoning they applied to Joe Paterno and it should apply to every company as well.

Thanks, fixed. Learned a new thing today.

To what end? Xi Jinping can just wait until the next president to negotiate away the tariffs. The public certainly hates them. Right or left, I don't see how anyone can see these surviving through another administration.

Arbitration keeps the court system less full. It has a purpose that everyone ignores. How about solving the underlying problem that brought about arbitration: courts being saddled by too many frivolous lawsuits?

I'm saying this more in regard to the current crop of candidates because it's more obvious and egregious that there are some running for President right now that are doing it for attention and money.

Although you're right. This is by no means exclusive to one side of the aisle.

The only problem with elections right now is Citizens United. Does anyone honestly believe that the Democratic nominees on the left are all running because they think they can win? Or can we agree that the ability to raise endless money and garner publicity under the guise of an election could be what they're after?

Books are low-margin. They're not profitable enough to sell on their own most of the time.

4chan doesn't exist to make a profit though. It only needs to get enough money to keep the lights on.

EDIT: Man I definitely replied to the wrong comment. Feel free to downvote me to hell.

That turned out surprisingly wholesome.

Because if you can't FizzBuzz, you definitely aren't going to be able to pick up the codebase in a satisfactorily short amount of time.

If you come in in gross clothes and swear, you're not going to fit the company culture.

If you're rude to your interviewer, you're not likely to be less rude to your other coworkers.

etc.

Please edit your answer to clarify why the money has to come from social security and healthcare.

It's a well-written article that's reasonably fun to read, if anyone has five minutes to spare.

No one would care if this were just a story about suicide. This is a story that sympathetically portrays a girl who kills herself to make others feel sorry for her.

There's no way that parent drinking behavior isn't a strong indicator too.

Drats! We were so close!

"Social justice" doesn't mean anything. It's, at best, a metaphor. Those words don't mean anything apart from the movement because otherwise, there would be a social government and a canonical social code.

It's like "ethnic cleansing". It doesn't mean anything unless you interpret it as a metaphor.

If no one fights off the Somali pirates, then no one can sail their shipping boats through those passages, and the US turns a net profit by fending off the Somali pirates because no one else can/will do it. That said, it still sucks that we're the ones that have to do it.

I'm not saying America doesn't do any racketeering. I am saying that they get the job done though, and the job sucks.

The implicit argument is that it takes 10 years to do this. Is that how it works in reality? If it was a month, no one would care.

Let's be clear. Being the world's military titan is not a desirable job. Someone has to fend off the Somali pirates, but it's not glamorous and everyone benefits equally from it (as in not just the US).

I struggle to see how this can be seen as a bellwether of the economy. 3M sells things that should be reasonably recession-proof: people don't stop buying scotch tape in hard times.

I meant the HN headline. Looks like it got changed.

Worth a read to see how this is one of the most misleading headlines of all time.

He's not a student if he's never set foot in the school. In fact, he wasn't even an American citizen. He just got accepted to the school.

What do first-class closures have to do with anything?

This isn't a complicated problem. State election agencies are underfunded and have to cut corners in order to survive. A simple federal cash infusion would solve 70% of this problem. The other 30% is coming up with sufficient election machine standards.

I fail to see how this solves the root cause of the problem such that we won't see another student debt bubble arise again in 20 years.

Students loans must be dischargeable via bankruptcy. Until that happens, student loans will continue to be an issue. I feel like Warren is just attempting to score political points here because her poll numbers are dwindling.

We don't live in a rich modern secular society. Perhaps 10% of the US population does, but much of it lives at a low-middle class level where having kids is more of a luxury than a choice.

Can we not turn this against the record industry's own videos? Genuine question.
