I don't know - the problem with complaints like 'Wal-mart are destroying small, local businesses' is that although many people agree that Wal-mart is bad, often no one is sure exactly what is bad about Wal-mart.…
I am prepared to accept that 'almost all cases' does not include the insanity particular to the frothiest 60% of the Australian housing market ;)
There isn't a technical limitation here. If in 2001 you had said that web content would be paid for by multiple auctions for advertising space between data brokers who know innumerable different facts about the reader,…
I mean, you've just outlined the way that newspapers' business model is delusional and broken. Lots of people are prepared to pay them for something they make, but they have decided that they're only prepared to accept…
Like the music industry a decade or so ago, the news industry is now in a position where, rather than try and compete, they are going to blame their customers and their competitors for their own failings, and try and…
Newspapers made a huge strategic error in how they approached advertising, which ultimately resulted in much of their value being essentially given away to Google. It used to be the case that much of (for example) the…
Your grandfather is surely much better off than if he had been renting that house all those years. He would also have paid a huge total amount (to a landlord) and wouldn't have any share in the appreciation of his house…
Imputed rent tax and mortgage tax deduction make sense together but not separately in my opinion. Mortgage tax deduction without tax on imputed rent (as in Norway, Sweden and the US) is a subsidy to those who are rich…
I think you have misunderstood how taxation works. If you rent out a house, the rent is income, which you are taxed on. The deduction means that you don't have to pay taxes on the gross amount, but only on the net…
As a probability theorist (who knows very little about physics) I understand this machine as relying on the well-studied and widely debunked martingale fallacy - that you can play until you are slightly ahead, and then…
Yes, this invention appears to resolve a fallacy simply by replacing with another fallacy, perhaps less well known to physicists.
Interesting, thank you.
If you asked me to write a JSON parser in 6502 assembly, I would put the fairly short and unambiguous JSON grammar into lex and yacc to get a parser in C, then compile that to 6502 assembly. Then maybe glance through…
My city is unusual, fair. But 5x ratio would be far from unusual. One could easily find an apartment in Staten Island (not even a suburb, not very far from the city center) for less than 1/5 Manhattan office rent per sq…
Rent per square foot in the city center where my company's office is located is at least ten times rent per square foot on a house like mine in the suburb I live in. The rent per square foot for a desk in a serviced…
