I have XPS 9560 with i7-7700HQ CPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SDD, and 1080p 15' screen. I switched from MacBook Pro 2014 Retina, the highest specs back then. I had an azerty keyboard layout that was driving me crazy. (Gosh, how I hate the stupi

Adobe could easily crank up the price up to 10000$ per month and still, with total certainty, it should not be illegal. Sponsor GIMP or any other competition if you don't like Adobe product. If you think the competition is inferior in

How was the efficient market hypothesis buried? Believing that markets are optimal in a very strong sense is wrong, indeed. We know that people are not perfect rational actors, but we are quite rational anyway. Markets work damn well if wha

What you write makes sense, or is at least reasonable to a point where I can believe that people genuinely think so. But my question is then, why the company did not argue that they need to fire these 22 000 workers without resorting to sha

So what happens if a company goes bankrupt? It's a big catastrophe to have to fire 20 000 people, but if that means keeping 110 000 people employed, the decision would seem straightforward to me. How do companies avoid bankruptcy in th

"But they couldn’t fire most of them. The workers were state employees — employees for life — and therefore protected." I hear the first time about a practice like this on that scale... (besides communism, but that's not Fran

What recent history are you referring to? I'm thinking for example about China. China raised almost a billion people out of extreme poverty in the last 30-40 years mainly due to switch to the market economy. This is arguably the bigges

No person is actually owning billions in the way a normal person is owning 100$. There is just no way to spend a billion dollars by consuming. There is no diner that you can eat that will cost a million dollars. So, what does it mean for a

As a Pole, I see the Soviet Union as badly as Germany. Sometimes when reading discussions, I think that some westerners forget that the Soviet Union assaulted Poland 17 days after Germans attacked us. So to remind everyone, Soviets started

Isn't this exactly the type of situation that USA antitrust law is supposed to penalize? Controlling .org is a monopoly. Rising prices is exploiting that monopoly and is detrimental to customers. Seems like it should be easy to show in
