Then by the standards set by government, I guess the united states isnt a first world country.

Depending on the make and model of a car, you might save money because insurance companies have determined those cars to be safer. If you have a lowjack, your location, your history, there are a lot of factors that go into insurance costs.

Yes, im not saying you shouldnt be able to sue. Im saying the government shouldnt set a magic bar that if companies hurdle they are without fault.

Sure, in the context of broad safety you have a point. Of course, you are more likely to die in places where police are responsible for your protection. The safest places people inhabit are their home, their work, places with private securi

Lets see, oooo tiktok, heres the kia challenge. Or maybe google "are kias secure". Whatever format you can understand, you will be presented several sources that explain the situation quite clearly.

What world do you live in? The statistics are pretty clear and accessible. Are you so obsessed with something you cant attend to your own basic needs?

I never understand this arguement. I hear it in the form "we should just regulate cars to be safer", why dont you just buy a safer car? "What do you take me for? I got a mustang GT, the last thing that car is worried about is

Why is there such a pervasive crowd of people who chock this kind of thing up to a lost cause? From my prespective, if it can be done, we should, we must, do it. Is there something special about hiding something from a government thats qual

Thats kind of what I said, the rules are hard, supply and demand, time preference, marginal utility, those are forces that cant be argued with, but it doesnt mean they have precise predictive power.

Oh, I agree completely with everything in the top paragraph, and I certainly have seen a natural trend towards central nodes/relays in all the federated networks I can think of. I think the appeal is that for the average user its about

Even encrypted data is not irrelevant. The frequency of messages is relevant, as is how many messages are sent how quickly, the total package size can be revealing if they arent hella padding the data, there is a lot you can learn just from

Well, I would say social sciences arent exact, economics might be a hard science of rules, but the outcomes are subject to too many factors to predict precisely, but it is still a science. Though, well, I am not really qualified to speak on

You should read the creature from Jekyll island. Bailouts just make the problem bigger and more centralized. It cant fix anything, its not possible, that debt still exists on someones balance sheet, it still accrues interest.

My appologies. I think informed consent is a wonderful idea, I just am skeptical that it exists in real life. I would say if you use an electronic device today, you are being spied on (with very narrow exceptions). Informed consent to me (t

The government doesnt spy on its cotizens, because the citizens know they are being spied on?

Yes and no. The government still has to pay interest on its debt, which is paid with tax receipts. The government shouldnt be in the business of making money, yes, but it also has to spend less than it makes. In this case, these loans would

"Right" is a value judgement, meaning its all about whos asking. From an economics standpoint, regulation causes higher prices, less competition/innovation, and are unethical. From the prespective of the people who pushed thi

Once upon a time in new york, people built bleechers on their roofs to watch baseball games. Neighbors would potluck or sell home cooked food. There was enough housing for everyone, because they had very loose regulations. If you really wan

It is the general consensus that competition in the market place is good for consumers and propels business to find creative solutions that create value in the econony. I would say that isnt always the case, Rockefeller had something like 9

Its a political topic, and you have taken an ideological stance towards it. If you want to say this topic shouldnt be on hacker news, I agree with you. Conversely, if you cant take the heat then get out of the kitchen.

I am equally clueless as to how you came up with this line of questions. Of course incentives matter, when did I imply they didnt? Of course the government is involved, which is why I said the reasons for not converting a building (the buye

No, as in the pernicious myth is that american democracy is a thing, that it ever existed, that it ever will exist, and/or that such a thing would be desirable.

>Under what criteria? If maintaining the property value is a better move in your risk analysis, over making income from renters. Maintaining the value of your $100M+ tower makes a lot of sense if you are expecting commercial real estate
