You start off fine by saying that in the context of addictions and other mental aberrations, people are not likely to act in their long term best interests. But then you say this: > In fact, most of consumerism seems to be built on getti

Sure, but what are you saying the implications of this be? Is handicapping the best options for search really whats best for consumers?

This is outlandish. (1) The Federal Reserve has 12 member banks, none of which are private--they're really just branches of the central bank. Those member banks have shareholders consisting of local private banks. These 12 banks don&#x

There is a third possibility: central banks come up with their own alternative to bitcoin.

What CPMs are you getting in the US? If 17% of your traffic is US, even with one ad per page, you should be getting ~4,760,000 pageviews per month. have you ever tried to outsource your ad operations? that kind of inventory could be worth w

I've never thought about the surface's gaming ability outside of the touch games. Being able to plug in an xbox controller and play any compatible game that came out before like 3-4 years ago is amazing.

I think its not an issue of anyone thinking that rails can't do those things. Its just that there are other things out there that are not as thick, which can also do restful routing. Unless you're already entrenched in Rails, ther

In this case, would you refactor by removing only the components in the interface, or would you ask them to just delete everything extra wholesale?

An even better one would be to say that economists are like the consultants to a massive and public government IT project thats 300 years into the making. Complexity built into the system from the start leads to recurring issues that can&#x

Huh. I worked at a place that had access to data similar to this, but statewide and in a different state. I wanted to put something like this together, but i was told the data was very sensitive and that I couldn't get access to it, si

This article reads as "This is not company culture, this other thing is". But goes into very little detail about why. The only description of what culture generally is, is this: > It’s about values and mindset. What if your mis

Everyone in the comments here seems pretty pessimistic about what this is implying. I got the opposite impression--I think this report is actually very progressive, and that we should commend the economists at BBVA bank for identifying a tr
