Isn't cost and concentration also a factor? How do you avoid creating a slum with dense low-income housing? Seems like highly distributed low-cost, low-unit housing might work decently.
>If there is one rule, then it had to be the ‘safety net’ rule. It just means that everyone is safe to speak their minds during the retreat. There will be many sessions on feedback about product, company, people etc. If…
Consider genuinely strengthening the argument of the person you are talking with before providing an alternate viewpoint.
What identity confirmation exists currently for phone companies? You can use a pay phone, pay cash for a prepaid wireless phone, phone in a motel room booked under a fake name, etc.
When moving, cars can compare hundreds of different viewpoints. Multiple cameras provide for depth perception when stationary.
How do you decide which one needs to change its name? There's no objective measure for which is 'larger'. The vast majority of consumers are not going to lookup an FDIC number, and even if they did, it is still not…
This is similar to what I'd like to see. Sharing cookies is somewhat dangerous since they could have login/user data, but it would totally work to avoid browser fingerprinting. With all the fingerprinting methods…
The problem with EV is how do you handle companies with the same name? Many banks have similar and in some cases the same name. The domain name system already handles this by enforcing uniqueness and leveraging the…
If you are concerned about timing it right, or macro-economic swings, simply purchase a corresponding long position in an index fund / S&P 500. Options do cost premiums, but shorts typically do not. You can however even…
That may maximize the immediate value to shareholders, but the real goal is to maximize all discounted future cash flows.
The entire purpose of a company is to return value to shareholders. Due to our current tax law, buybacks are a much better way to do that than dividends. Are you saying that a company should invest 100% back into…
If you are confident in this scenario, then rollover your 401k into an IRA, enable options trading, and buy puts or short the companies that you believe took on too much debt. No need to be an accredited investor.
Amazon's delivery drivers are more similar to Uber/Lyft drivers. They get minimal to no training and simply follow instructions via the app. Some of them have documented the experience on youtube and it's worth a watch.…
Seems like they are trying too hard, and actually made the message more cryptic than it needs to be. Why not say "nuclear" or "radiation"? It seems very unlikely that the entire species will completely forget about the…
Thanks for the explanation, your argument makes sense. I'd just look at it in a slightly different, perhaps more optimistic way. The fact that this investment has the highest ROI means that society as a whole would…
I've seen this as well, in my experience much of it comes from other orgs that see the engineering team come in late, or walk around the office tossing a ball into the air. They start putting pressure on engineering…
This is not really true. The market overall works as a surprisingly efficient resource allocation engine. Onions aren't a great example as they are a commodity rather than a stock. Regardless, if someone does bid up the…
There is pretty much always someone willing to buy or sell a stock at some price. The best way to think of the exchanges are as a perpetual auction. There is a line of buyers willing to buy shares at all different…
I would love to see an open review system like that. Comments out in the open, along with the experiments and experimental data which supports or does not support the work. Science is all about experimentation, yet we…
Online is just too easy for people to follow up. Most class-actions require mailing in a form so probably have much lower participation rates.
Sustaining the expansion is questionable but the Fed's more specific goal has been to maintain inflation at around 2%, which it has done surprisingly well over the last 20 years. Of course, we have no way of knowing if…
Leave it up to the hospital. They are best equipped to assess the cost and likelihood of being able to save the person. They also are most responsible for the repercussions in terms of positive/negative publicity and…
Experiments have shown that pilot waves would have to travel faster than the speed of light. My understanding of the experiment is as follows: Take two entangled photons, beam them up to satellites far away from each…
It is being addressed. Not at the level of governmental cooperation, but some of the things that really matter are being done in spite of that. Solar cell prices have decreased by 300x over the last 40 years and…
No, because rent-control disincentives new development.
