EA “philosophy” is shockingly similar to shitty high school debater logic. High school debaters are often obsessed with stuff like nuclear war, for essentially the same reason as EA cultists.

As someone who periodically volunteers at a food bank, I think it depends on scale. Smaller food banks can more easily deal with nonstandard items and make great use of them. Large operations find it tougher.

Ironically, these commentators likely would not object to a BigLaw partner who chooses to represent corporations sued for terrible misconduct (as opposed to helping vindicate the constitutional right to criminal defense counsel)

Absolutely nuts that Yale’s administration thinks journalists should not be allowed on Cross Campus. Anyone who’s been on Yale’s campus knows that it’s functionally a public space.

The solution may be to create laptops that simply don’t have the processing power to run an offline AI model. It doesn’t take that much computing power to run a word processor.

As an Asian-American man, I understand there’s pressure to whitewash one’s name, but it’s always struck me as a fool’s errand. Those who’ll judge you for having a nonwhite name will never fully accept you, no matter how much you pander to them.

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

What a tremendous piece from David Pressman and Arne Duncan. Yale trustees will own any capitulation to President Trump. It will be their historical legacy, it will be their shame. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

They charged him with only manslaughter, which is absurd given the reported facts, which seem to support second-degree murder.

The dean of Yale Law School and some members of its faculty are trying to stop a settlement between the university and the Trump administration, warning that an agreement could jeopardize Yale’s independence, according to two people familiar with the deliberations.

Zero (0) of Epstein's victims had the ability to self-fund litigation against Epstein or anyone like him. The only way they had any chance is through contingency fee representation. Everyone in Big Law knows that, they sneer at it anyway because they know it's morally superior to their work.

Normatively, I’m okay with my tax dollars supporting aging, economically displaced rural populations. But I dislike when red-state politicians denigrate blue cities and workers that are this country’s dominant economic engine.

Plus, it’s structurally easier for red states because they receive massive transfers through federal taxation and spending. In short, blue cities are propping up rural red states’ budgets — contrary to the self-sufficiency lie that Republicans like to push.

From that perspective, her crime was far worse than any garden-variety armed robbery or aggravated assault, and she should be punished as such.

Hard disagree. Most crimes are punished too heavily in this country. But we should come down hard on crimes like corruption, abuse of official authority, election fraud, and others that constitute breaches of the public trust.

Perhaps that’s true of a merely good commencement speech. At my law school commencement, the great Guido Calabresi gave a magnificent address about the risks of elite leaders who do not bear or appreciate the costs of their own decisions. It haunts me to this day.
