Yea that's the point I'm making that it's a natural monopoly. And yea the examples you provide are another way to handle a monopoly, though it's not really clear to me what the comprehensive benefits actually would be. O

The difference here is that everyone needs air traffic control and there's zero choices so a market structure doesn't make sense. With bread, maybe I only like certain types of bread. Maybe I don't want bread. It makes sense

They run from the left in order to get elected, that is the sham. They tell people things that people want to believe that they know they can't deliver in order to get elected. Then they govern from the centre right status quo which al

Run from the Left, govern from the Right. A pretty classic political electoral strategy of centrist liberals.

It offloads some risk, less directly onto meta, and more shared by outside investors.

This is what happens in a FPTP two party system. If you don't like one party what other option do you have but to vote for the other party? So as a result it's enormously easy for radicals to take over a big tent party and still a

There's no comparison to the W Bush years. He was a buffoon that was mocked, but few if any seriously did things like boycott travel to the USA. Now boycotting travel to the USA is commonplace and travel to the USA has plunged. People

The complete destruction of this industry, along so much other print media has been a tragedy to watch unfold. We live in a post apocalyptic media wasteland.

Incredible stuff that the regulators are so absent or neutered that such a feature could get shipped.

Oh no absolutely real mining. But ultimately the transferable skills are pitch making, selling to investors, pumping and dumping. That applies not just to some plot of land in some obscure place that has some "enormously promising&quo

Startlingly bad journalism from a paper as good as the WSJ. Is the paper trying to appease the administration in so obviously deviating from the reality of events? > Over the winter, different alarm bells sounded. At the start of the yea

Even though the exchange has become the TSX Venture exchange, Vancouver remains the centre for junior mining companies, of the sort where scams are common. I used to work in Downtown Vancouver and would on occasion get my haircut at a downt

Ultimately the government is the people. The problem is that the established wealthy single family owning class want to retain the status quo they bought into, and reject any and all political change. Cynical politicians leverage this to ge

nah this is nonsense. News flash: churches exist even in the left coast. One of the biggest non profit organizations that helps people in Vancouver's DTES is Union Gospel Mission and the Salvation Army. Nonetheless severe poverty has p

Interesting article though it curiously deemphasizes what is likely the most significant reason for the differences in outcomes, which is that housing is more cheap and abundant in Houston/Dallas stemming from being easier and cheaper

I've never seen any unit tests in my career in games. I'm not terribly convinced it would be helpful. Code reviews are a constant at everywhere I've worked.

I do not have first hand experience, but my impression from being in the industry is that modern EA is not at all like the "EA spouse" era.

Trade has to go both ways. Maybe China can trade with Cuba but doesn't need sugar. Maybe countries that badly would want Cuban sugar aren't allowed to trade with Cuba. etc.

yes sure but that's off topic. The parent wasn't talking about that, they were talking about the quality of the food being poor, electricity infrastructure bad etc. That stuff is impacted by being severely restricted from trade.

Seriously as someone with no interest in moving to the USA this is fantastic news. Open up studios in British Columbia and hire the relatively cheaper labour. It's on the same time zone as Silicon Valley. It's a no brainer.

The push back against immigration is against the way it was exploited by scammers to exploit people and make money from them. The sort of high educated immigrants of the sort that would work in software engineering will not face remarkable
