"If we are going to massively simplify taxes, then it needs to be done on the richest" Why? This is a built-in assumption most people seem to be operating with and I've never understood the rationale that the rich…
The "discipline of economics" has no predictive power whatsoever. All it offers are "explanations" that can't be translated into actionable policies.
The correct solution is to eliminate income-based taxes altogether, be they corporate, individual, derived from regular wages or derived from capital gains, etc ... and stick to a flat consumption based tax. But we're…
Is that an opinion, or a peer-reviewed scientific conclusion? Just curious.
The only solution to put an end to the current patent system is to overload it. The equivalent of a DDos attack. Companies should file as many frivolous patent as they possibly can. Eventually, we'll have all the IP…
>World History is going to world history no matter where you take it I'm afraid you are very much mistaken here. Having had the chance to look at primary school history book in four different countries (FR, DE, JP, US),…
"They did, when they adopted OpenGL" Yes, and this was so much against their DNA that it required the chutzpah of a Carmack to get the Apple's CEO to implement the decision. Apple is and has always been a strict leech…
I believe that's quite the unfair comparison. Even if the components model aren't very sophisticated, everycircuit can do full analog simulations. If you use chrome, you can run everycircuit in-browser, then try this…
Very much in line with Apple's way of doing things. God forbid they'd adopt some sort of open standard - even though they've hugely benefited from them.
