The solution to this is stricter anti-trust laws. The FTC is honestly outgunned when it comes to mergers and acquisitions. Part of it is manpower and salaries, and part of it is by design (regulatory capture). However, Intel is not that muc

Pretty wrong. Dupont was the military-industrial complex, way before New Deal. The military industrial complex is not some new thing. Alfred Nobel did not become rich selling candies to children.

That single player is the only player. And semiconductors are a classic case of structural monopolies, because semiconductor manufacturing is closer to an utility rather than competing food joints - the barriers to entry are insanely capita

Critics say that - true. But first of all, those critics originate more from Milton Friedman school of economics. Or the Austrian school. And honestly, as the work of economists like Card/Krueger show - many of the so-called common sen

Read what you like. There are great, moving works of literature in so many languages that anyway we will not finish them all. Read more, and read often. This petty squabbles over Western Canon and Classics is just culture war nonsense.

Also something like the presence of lead in your drinking water has strong, demonstrated effects on IQ for example. Some of the poorest communities in the US by the way have some of the highest lead contents in their water supplies BTW.

Not true absolutely. The rubber hardness is highly temperature dependent, and is modified by tinkering with your glass transition temperature. Winter tires have a lower glass transition temperature (are softer at lower temperatures), and as

True. But teachers are often in the category where they are vulnerable. I personally know of 7 teachers who have died, (2 from my own school, out of 50 teachers there). So while I 100% agree that this is not good for students, we need to th

Honestly NIMBYism and lawsuits slow down things more than any government agency. And also in all these we may be forgetting one thing. Maybe handcuffing the government is not a good thing? Grover Norquist style drown the government in a bat

Batteries are a massive materials science success story. We are less than a decade away from 1000 mile range electric cars that do 0-60 in sub 3 seconds. These were Bugatti Veyron numbers a decade back, and that thing had a fuel efficiency
