I have to admit that as a technical person it's easy to ignore the tools which are being built for non technical people. A non-technical is currently building a wordpress site for me that is better than what I would have thrown togethe

To play devil's advocate, if the fed is now essentially providing a floor on the value of assets (through QE and purchase of rubbish bonds), wouldn't it also be fair for the government to provide a floor on the value of labor?

This will create thousands of administrative jobs, which supports one of the goals of the EU: full employment through pointless paperwork! This is not UBI, it's means tested and adjusted.

If you're scared of cheap knockoffs, it's exactly the perception that your product is somehow superior that you want. Part of that might be less risk exposure to lawsuits for incorporating stolen IP. But if you eliminate the legal

I'd say it's an unnecessary dilution of national brand power. I know people who refuse to buy things directly from China, yet are perfectly happy buying the same items through a western distributer. That price delta is directly me

I was once curious about if in a line of propellors, having the propellors rotating in the same direction (line wheels on a shared belt) or counter rotating (like interlocking gears) would produce any difference in thrust. I made a rig to t

Counter point: access to cheap finance pushes up people's purchasing power, driving up the prices of things which can be financed (homes and education being the big ones). I think even before the crash we hit limits on house prices bec

The question then becomes is SV the best place for technology to be built for India/Malaysia/Vietnam or others. My guess is that the answer is no, and after the success of China we'll see protectionist policies that ensure th

What will it take to get the ECB to print money? For better or worse, most of the medical costs are going to be spent on the older generation. More debt will become the burden of the current taxpayers and then the next generation.

You basically present the herd immunity argument with the caveat that it's okay for people older than the median life expectancy to die if they become infected. I agree this would be a solution, with the huge caveat, that it becomes so

This is likely an already known trick. However, if it isn't, it is a way that computer science can be applied to greatly increase testing throughput and proportionately reduce the cost of RT-PCR viral RNA testing. Can someone with bett

I disagree with this because it solves the exponential wealth distribution problem exactly by making exponential wealth acceptable. It's okay that I live in a mansion where 100 people could live because those 100 people have the option
