Interesting post, thanks. Was the investment in infrastructure considered a Keynesian policy at the time?

There are other possible contributing factors, such as the decrease in testosterone, or the increase in obesity.

If someone were working in Silicon Valley as a permanent resident (not US citizen), and wanted to try working in Japan (say, for a year), could they do that without jeopardizing their ability to go back to the US?

No, you're thinking of a different thing. In SF some restaurant will have an "SF employee mandate" line, a 2% surcharge or so, to account for a local law. That's a protest against the law: it's the same principle be

It's not a tax exemption, it's tax evasion. Same for all those "cash only" places - they're simply not declaring most of their income.

Look, if you want to pay them more, pay them more. I'm all for it. I just don't want each retail transaction to be turned into a labor negotiation! Tipping at restaurants is bad enough: why do I have to decide how much the waiter

California wasn't always pure blue. But the effort the parent described is from 2004, so what matters are the politics of modern CA.

If a policy would bring a small benefit to a large number of people, but a large loss to a small number, the small group is much more motivated to fight against the policy, and will often win. This is why it is generally not possible to abo

What are the numbers in the career trajectories? Means? Medians? Maxima? It's hard to make sense of this. Can anybody vouch for the accuracy of the data? A friend of mine works for one of these companies, gets (or claims to get) excell

If Tesla announces this (causing the stock to rise, since the suggested price is much higher than the current price), and then doesn't go through with it, is it considered stock manipulation? I don't mean to accuse them, I'm

Yes, but are you going to do anything about it? If you work at one of the big tech companies in the bay area, chances are you either cannot vote or you're only ever going to vote for the incumbent party, so what does it matter to them

The parent post should not be downvoted. It's perfectly possible that the effect of the New Deal is controversial (or even dubious) amongst historians and that most schools teach it as a resounding success. In that case, it's in

If you fix the keyboard, I'll buy a new MBP. If you don't fix it, I won't. I have zero interest in any other changes.

Do you mean in the middle of the sidewalk, or to the side, against a wall? The former seems overtly malicious, the latter is a completely normal place to park a bike in cities where people ride bikes.

It's funny, even though I've known about Scoot for a while, and I see their vehicles sometimes (relatively rarely, and in random residential neighborhoods), I've never had the slightest interest in trying it. The electric pus

If you want to watch helplessly as a word is ruined in real time, I recommend "iconic". I'm not even sure what it's supposed to mean any more: in informal speech it seems to be a synonym of "awesome", which by

Article is paywalled. How about this for a hot take, based on the title alone: there is an overlap of an IQ boosting effect from environment (better nutrition, health care etc.) and an IQ depressing effect from genetics (e.g. increasing yea
