"it is still much lower than what it would be in an unregulated environment." Counterfactual. The article you link to is laughable on the face of it. "A new study for the Mercatus Center at George Mason University"…
Any list of "free" countries that has [the UAE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_United_Ara...), Chile and Singapore in their top 10 is using "free" in the Orwellian sense. "Labor Freedom" is perhaps…
Point of clarification: Pai was appointed to the 5 person FCC commission by Obama. He was named chairman by Trump. FWIW, the previous chairman, Tom Wheeler (ostensibly a Democrat), probably would've dismantled net…
What's the point of content-free, incoherent, misspelled comments like this one? There's nothing even remotely like what you're describing in the actual article.
"The government hardly ever creates wealth. They can create the conditions for wealth creation by getting the heck out of the way." Yes, we're aware that's how it works in shitty novels about trains from the 1950's.…
All the truthering in this thread is a bit much. Some of the nastiest bullying I've observed (and experienced) in my life has been from smart people towards even smarter people that they resented. I'm getting more than…
"your poor lifestyle decisions." Why frame the issue in this way, except to make yourself feel better about being complicit in denying your fellow citizens access to basic healthcare? The alternative explanation is that…
For some perspective here, the maternal mortality rate in the USA is 28 per 100,000 births. So skydiving is about 50x safer than giving birth.
Inflation also took off like a rocket in Switzerland in the early 1970's: https://tradingeconomics.com/switzerland/inflation-cpi Switzerland was on the gold standard until 1999. Since abandoning the gold standard,…
"If you show probability work like Hillary having lower election odds, then this is new definition of hate speech." I get that the guy is angry. I would be too if I got locked out of my accounts, but this is a ludicrous…
Comcast is the most hated corporation in America. There's already a big competitive opportunity for non-terrible ISPs.
A lot of products start with half the population, though, and it's not considered weird. The old euphemism is "shrink it and pink it" - originally design for men, then put out a women's version. If Spectacles take off,…
Apparently, a company with a 644 Billion dollar market cap, co-founded by a man whose parents fled the USSR for political reasons, is secretly trying to promote Communism.
Isn't the control group the part of the graph from 1993-2000ish, where perception and reality are fairly closely correlated? I guess that raises more questions than it answers. What about the rise of cable news? That…
Century: Spice Road would be an obvious match for Splendor.
Having regulations doesn't turn this country into a "state-run economy". Is America currently a state-run economy because of the existence of the FDA, the USDA, etc? What are these countries you believe have no…
For anyone who didn't read the entire article, this is the part that these comments are complaining about: > Since all new creativity is held hostage in the hands of insensitive investors who promote the development of…
Yeah, the article would be much more effective and useful if the advice was "if you hear these phrases, don't assume the developers are lying/bad at their jobs/etc. but do take it as a cue to ask about the…
As a product manager, do you have developers formally reporting to you? That seems like a bad idea. If a PM doesn't have formal authority over developers but thinks of themselves that way, that's also bad.
Hearing "Alinksy playbook" in 2017 is like hearing "Who Let the Dogs Out" in 2017. https://www.villagevoice.com/2012/01/29/ally-ally-alinsky-ri... If you wish to be taken seriously by intelligent adults, maybe try to…
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."
Are you sure the jobs that rely on soft skills and experience are more routine than other jobs? What experience do you have to support that? I've found that once you throw humans into the mix, nothing is routine. I…
I've had similar experiences, but I also think your answer could be paraphrased as "conferences are good because extroverts like them." Some people who are otherwise really good developers aren't going to get much value…
I use a little shell script to send iTerm2 proprietary escape codes to change the color of the terminal window based on the value of $*. https://iterm2.com/documentation-escape-codes.html
My frustration is that the right wing has been doing this to people on the left for 70 years. It's not OK that the left has started doing it to the right, but the people I see going on about "liberal witch hunts" and…
