Yep, indeed this kind of wealth tax would seem much more popular. I wonder how well it would do in a federal vote in Switzerland. I am very much in favor of increasing taxes for the very wealthy ($100 million in net worth seems like a good

I completely get your point. What would you suggest, then?

Please call me out if I'm just being delusional but I think VAT is a great way to tax rich people. They already have a lot of ways to avoid taxes, but at least with VAT they pay the same as everybody else. They are going to buy expen

Why Nations Fail was such a great book. I actually recommended it in another thread a few days ago. I didn't know Acemoglu got the Nobel Economics Prize.

The opposite is not a fine attitude to have especially if you have too few customers. Once they know that they can ignore payments by using that kind of excuse, something very bad will happen to your subscription revenue.

Once they figure it out, they can come back as a paying customer. :) It's not the provider's responsibility to help their customer get their sh#t together.

I'm glad you took it nicely. You should definitely post here when you write a new article. There's always something to learn! Just remember to do things the easiest way possible; <a> allows you to "redirect" users

So you allow yourself to use AI in order to save time, but we have to put up with the shit[1] companies make up? That's good, it's for the best if I don't work for a company that thinks so lowly of its potential candidates. [

I disagree. If the product fails due to timing but succeeds years later without having changed dramatically, I would argue that this was a good product from the start (despite having no users).

by Pooge 2y ago
Timing is one of the most important part of the market. You could make a truly great product far too early and nobody would use it and you would get bankrupt. Then someone else would come with something, perhaps even worse, at the right tim

I think it's about time unpaid labor becomes on politicians' radar if they don't want to have 25% unemployment rate in their hands. As advocated by Glen Weyl and Eric Posner.
