The fundamental problem is that formal schooling is basically a waste of time for a reasonable fraction of the population. Do you need any more than basic literacy and numeracy to be a retail worker, cook, laborer, driver? These students wo

Audi will be their compliance electric cars. They will use it to build up the technology and industrial base, then shift the rest of the VW brand over to electric when there is sufficient Government pressure (regulation/taxes). There a

Heavy industry and chip manufacturing are not really comparable though. The cutting edge nodes are only relevant for a few years, maybe a decade for rudimentary components. The major problem the US, and the West, face right now is that its

The responsibility lies at the nation-state level, and the clear decision is for Governments to ban the formal exchange of cryptocurrencies. As soon as this occurs, ransomware events will collapse since the ransoms will become unpayable. Th

Its like the Uber of Ponzi Schemes. The main innovation is that there's no one to sue. The founders can just print themselves a bunch of coins and remain basically anonymous. They also bypass regulation, because its on the web? Regulat

People want to transfer around cryptocurrencies, because their price is high and they can speculate on them and mine them. If the price was lower, then the mining activity would be reduced as would the interest in speculation. The interest

Instead of all these social (justice) causes, I wish these billionaires would just build out our clean energy infrastructure and lobby to destroy our fossil fuel infrastructure. Putting that $2.7b into Tesla shares would probably achieve mo

If there were no UI changes then designers and product managers would be out of a job. This is why I enjoy owning my own small software business. I can just build something great at the start, and sell it forever, without needing to worry a

That doesn't really solve the end purpose, which is that Baby Boomers need to lessen their consumption of national resources (real estate) and global resources (food, energy), so that these limited resources can be utilized by the next

The fundamental problem is that we don't want to tell baby boomers that they will have to work until 70 in order to keep the system afloat, or that if they are rich (including the value of their house) that they should pay for their ow

How is it for Product Managers and Product Owners? I've seen a slight bump in the past few weeks, but (anecdotally from my monitoring) the number of listings was still higher under Trump in 2019: https://www.indeed.com/
