What's your point? Do you think I misrepresented his points? What he didn't include was the relative damage from these different motions which was my expansion on it. Feel free to add more to the discussion than "what he said

The basic idea behind your point is "What we (China) did is totally fine in terms of working against your (US) economy but you doing something different against us (China) is NOT okay, irrespective of the magnitude of impact." See

I'm more than willing to accept that until someone comes up with a better solution. I think it extremely unlikely that a centrally planned solution will ever be superior.

You want the government to decide what arts get funded? I'll take the world where I can direct my funds to the projects I like, thanks. The price mechanism strictly dominates central planning in terms of welfare generation. This has be

Crowdfunding exists today. We don't see this model much at all and certainly not at the levels of quality or scale seen in for-profit, copyright/IP based enterprise. Why? 1) To gain a crowdfunding base of sufficient size to replac

It's actually the opposite. You're misunderstanding "end-users" and projecting your inherent bias against Uber. Once I explain what it _actually_ means, you'll probably project it again but here you're just doi

So in your world, if you’re willing to be X amount self-destructive or accept X risk, you’re also willing to accept X + Y risk or self destruction regardless of how large Y is. Got it.

I like HN because you see such a diversity of views and realize there's no "best" solution out there. So many people here complain that everything is run through the browser or Electron and that nobody makes native apps anymo

It's exactly 0.0001% of the water no matter how much water there is. Context of what the substance is and its mechanism of action would determine whether or not that "is a rather substantial amount".

Wow. As a kid, I always went to Payless for my "dress" shoes up until _maybe_ high school. Going to private Catholic school I always needed new "dress" shoes each year and it was a bit ritualistic for me to go to Payless

I'm not sure you understand probabilities when you drive at discrediting the NYT. Their last prediction given in the linked series gave Trump a 15% chance at winning. That's about equal to the probability of rolling a 10 or more w
