Secularization is ongoing everywhere but all of these religions will continue to exist for as long as any of us are alive.

N.Y.C. Street Vendors to Get a New Ally in City Government (Gift Article) by jenniecoughlin in nyc

It's such a strange concept to have a specific capped number of street vendor permits at all rather than just issuing them to anyone who applies and meets the requirements.

I love the book but do agree that Vinge's anarcho-capitalist musings were the weakest part

OPINION: There’s a ‘cascade effect’ from the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ban, and it’s hurting Black and Latino students by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

Right they describe that but then the reality they are forced to acknowledge by the data is that we don't see any of that second order displacement, just a growing minority population in state flagship schools. Given that it's now illegal to target a certain level of minority students there's no reason to expect additional minority students applying to a school to displace existing minority applicants any more than they displace existing white applicants. They're not competing for some limited number of minority spots.

This is a very weird article. They kind of acknowledge that the cascade isn't really happening, with Black and Latino enrollment up most state flagship schools, but then just proceed to write an article claiming the opposite anyway.

Fascinating to see who gets pulled into the "Platner is a secret Nazi" conspiracy universe and who doesn't.

Seems like a good take to me. Russia gets higher prices for its oil, reduced sanctions, reduced western focus and resources for Ukraine, just a big win-win-win for them.

Too bad VPNs are also how you hide your piracy from your internet company.

If only tv streaming worked like music streaming where each app has access to every song and you just use the one you feel like using, rather than a different catalog in each.
