The point is the second order effects. You a may pay taxes, but the shops you spend your taxed income might be lieing on their taxes. Any electronic spending you made will not give the shops room to under report. In turn that shops electron

Buybacks are not about creating value, they are about transferring value which already exists back to the legal owners. Banning buybacks would leave money in the hands of the managers/administrators. Only suggest this if you feel CEOs

Let's all wait for BSD license apologists to insist true freedom is the freedom to blackmail your users. Props to the OS Xfuse maintainer, he does deserve a fat payout so begrudging him. Still, it paints the clear picture of how BSD is

I was hoping for a cool story of os bugs currupting threads. Instead, as others pointed out, this is just a more verbose explanation of priority inversion. I would like to read the zombie injection story still.

The US Fed has a dual mandate of both full employment and inflation control. Other central banks around the world only have mandates for inflation control, but the US is special in this regard.

A commission would mean giving ground. It would mean China is no longer 100% protecting the thugs dressed in "police" uniforms. Thuggery is not a new thing, common to all crime families is a "protection" for the foot sol

I happily accept your apology. Thank you for trying to open a discussion with me, I live talking about economics and finance. Let's start fresh and get to that discussion we both want. No problem of course if you disagree with me. To o

You are right I am sorry. My replies have been in annoyance. Several times these past few months my posts have been replied with low-effort "gotchas" and I am a bit low on low on patience for the nerd-sniping.

Simple, 3.5% yearly for 20 years is near double. Also note how "growing" in English is a present tense verb. In English this implies a continuous motion. Were you trying the classic "pretend to mis-read then express outrage a

You appear to be misreading the chart, it is 4.5T to 9.95T. "T for trillion dollars" not "t for percentage". Considering 20 years of inflation yes, a doubling in twenty years of a nominal cash record is trivial. GDP in r

Chart from the article shows debt growing by 3.5% since turn of the century. Considering rates going to near zero if anything that is a low growth rate. Sorry, but coming off the summers doomsday hype this reads like a mole hill.

Sadly for such a scheme the Vision Fund is structured with the Saudi money backed by the SoftBank stake. Thus loses and mis-spending will fall on the shoulders of SoftBank Group shareholders before they eat into Saudi's portion.

Sounds like what happens with drugs. The big name pharma companies avoid getting their names dirty by selling drugs to corps willing to bump prices past the absurd. I sure hope the author got a kickback since his decision was not for the be

Might be off topic but I live to think about how well Japan has leveraged tourism. Eight years ago Japanese tourism was near 100% domestic. Japanese would visit mountains, onsen, and rural family. The idea that foreigners might be intereste

Now many deck chairs do are you willing to pay for, on a yearly basis? I would bet few people are willing to purchase 100 or so new deck chairs per year. Burning seems a sensible alternative.
