If a journalist dying influences someone's behavior but thousands dying in Yemen didn't do it I'd be curious to know why.

To those who have a problem with Harvard's alleged discrimination. Do you think female-only schools should exist? In addition, would you agree with an admission policy that only uses SAT and AP scores? Grades inherently are subjective and can unfairly be given on the basis of race on the K-12 level, so that's helpful.

Harvard should just model China and make the SAT the only criterion. If there are too many people with a perfect school, use randomization accordingly. Of course, the typical Harvard admit won't like this since it'll mean their private school boost won't mean anything, nor will the fact that they come from a feeder school.

Please stop. Whataboutism is not helpful.

Your premise is wrong - there's no contradiction between God and science.

Nothing will come out of this. If people think it's OK to track adults it'll be OK to track kids.

There are many other companies that offer free email without relying on a "massive" ad business. Without knowing what you mean by a lot, but Dropbox, twosigma, most "unicorns" have an order of magnitude or more less headcount and offer similar pay.

If said companies are broken up how would that change what you've stated? There are plenty of small companies that pay a lot and offer free products that are not monopolies (if you believe they are, anyway).

Oh please. It wasn't an attack. It's literally in the person's profile. For those just tuning in, I pasted a snippet of the person's public profile in my comment and said "Employees at big corps defending big corps. What a shocker.".

Is there a word for the strange behavior many have around defending large corporations? I know there's Stockholm syndrome but this appears to be more nuanced.

Yes, exactly. They already do, unless they can afford it or have purchased a home.

Sure, but people who have stake, e.g. ownership, will be more active politically and they're the majority of Californians. Renters will not win. Again, make more money, leave or endure.

> The economic and psychological impact of long commutes and high rents are serious.

Apparently not serious enough to have people suffering from said "impact" from leaving.

If people leave when they're dissatisfied the problem will resolve itself.

Some people don't want to live with more density as that's not what they encountered when they first arrived.

Anywhere they can afford to.
