- Comment on Why do some people identify with a political party even if many of their views don't align with that party's platform? 4 days ago:
On social issues like LGBTQ there’s a generational effect, like a shifting baseline. I’m a millennial and I support gays and trans people as much as the next guy, but because I grew up with it, I’m not as sensitive to the use of gay as a casual epithet as someone younger.
If we didn’t have a political system that drives people into 2 parties, there would probably be a party for blue dog democrats that’s more moderate and socially conservative.
Look up Moral Foundations Theory to get a better understanding of the psychological underpinnings of political ideology.

- Comment on It's rigged 2 weeks ago:
Social Security is not designed to redistribute a ton of money from the rich to the poor. And it isn’t used to fund the government so it doesn’t make the rich pay their “fair share”. It’s intended to force people to save so we don’t have a ton of poor seniors around.
Rich people are taxed up to a certain amount. So the rich and super rich pay in the same maximum dollar amount. But on the other side the benefits that they get out are capped in the same way.
It’s not supposed to be like a retirement plan where you assume you’re going to live on 80% of your income in retirement. It’s just there to ensure you have “enough”. The most money an individual can get out of social security, the maximum benefit, is $5181/month.
To be a little more accurate, Social Security Disability Insurance is redistributive by design.

If we’re talking a major cost, the landlord will probably amortize it over a long period, so if you’re only renting a short period you won’t pay for it all.

If the packaging is a reusable mold then this makes sense.
- Comment on The end of civilization costs $5 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, you want it to freeze on one end first to push out the bubbles. And even then it just pushes the bubbles to one end so you’d have to chip/cut away at them if you want perfectly clear ice.
I have molds for that style ice cube and I can’t be arsed to use them, let alone care about the bubbles.

This happens to rollerblades too. Of course in that case the failure is a little more catastrophic.
- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 5 weeks ago:
Structured data vs. unstructured data. The form is structured data and it can be manipulated easily and reliably with code. With unstructured data it’s a lot of guesswork and chance.
Also sometimes HR can’t use the resume because the name could reveal gender or ethnicity and they need to blind that. And it’s not trivial to manipulate any part of the resume to do that masking.
- Comment on Why? 5 weeks ago:
I can see how they got there from the implementation side. There’s a library they used for their site, maybe a CMS, where all those choices are just a click away. But for email they have to get their hands on an SMTP server. And that takes non-zero effort.
