You are assuming that regulations exist that have a noticeable impact on infrastructure cost, and that, if these regulations exist, removing them would actually be a good thing. Hypothetically speaking, there is a "regulation" tha

I believe Nintendo would be better off making little to no money on the Joycons. What's funny if you abstract this concept out a bit in becomes "I believe the company would be better off making little to no money on their produc

That article reads a bit strangely to me. It basically says the anecdote is true, but because it's true for "trivial and unremarkable reasons" they are labeling it as false. Which doesn't seem to make sense to me persona

If you buy an iPhone, do you get a FoxConn logo on the back? Because my Nexus 5X has an LG logo on the back, not a Google one. So yes, it's pretty different from an Apple phone. Unless you refer to yours as the FoxConn iPhone 6 or some

I'd argue more, according to your definitions, the "fundamental value" of the dollar (which you conveniently didn't specify) relies on violence (as in, pay up of guys with guns will put you in prison). Whereas the funda

And if the worst damage comes from positions like lineman and linebackers repeatedly hitting their heads on every down during the course of normal play, how do any of those changes fix that problem?

Why does the government need to place restrictions on where people build? If I build a house without flood insurance and it gets washed away, it's my loss - why does the government care? Because the cost ends up showing up in other w

True or not, Google clearly needed yet another messaging service, which they in about a year's time would have messed up and deprecated. Exactly. It's almost been a year since Allo was released, which means we are due for an ann

I think you are being fairly dishonest with these examples of what people talk about when they talk about "hateful" people on sites like Reddit. People are mainly talking about places like /r/coontown or /r/fat

Yeah, if you want to use cash, you basically have to be able to just pay for the house in it's entirety. With downpayments, the underwriters really want to make sure you didn't just take out a loan somewhere to finance that downpa

No, it should be hard to make arbitrary changes. If you change the word "arbitrary" to "necessary" (implying a different bias than the one you went with) then all of a sudden this attitude sounds less helpful. Similarl

A few years ago you could get lobsters from Market Basket for $3.99 a pound. And they would steam them for you at no charge. My wife and I would go to the beach in the morning and pick up a couple decent size lobsters on the way home for ar
