That is quite a pessimistic assessment but I have to say I agree with it. I have been watching American politics closely for several years now and have little hope that any significant solutions the the widening income/wealth gap will

With the persistent difficulties the middle and lower class have faced since the financial meltdown I wonder how long this will be the dominant mindset. It seems strongest among the boomers and weakest among people under 35. That fact that

This might be too political but after seeing another article on basic income I'm curious what other people on HN think about the politics and economic ideas behind the politics.

In the poorest areas there are strong incentives for the residents to spend any extra money on necessities such as housing, housing maintenance, utilities, food and clothing. Much of that work would be done by other residents or local busin

I think the point is that if a $3000 a year basic income program was implemented successfully it could lead to other programs being replaced with a higher basic income.

> tax deduction for home buyers simply leads to higher home prices This is actually a desired effect of a basic income. The poorest people often live in areas that are essentially cash starved with low real estate prices. There is often

In other words, science is hard, predictions are unreliable, scientists are humans and humans make mistakes / are motivated by emotions. As usual with pieces critical of science they focus too much on a very small number of bad eggs an

What is the difference between a "market correction" and a "bubble"? Do you think there is a risk of the entire web industry imploding like it did in 2000?

by d4vlx 13y ago
For what it's worth some of my take aways for why it's different are: 1) I don't see it effecting the tech industry as a whole to the level it did then. 2) It's not leaking out of the tech industry into the media, other

I agree that basically all I am saying is "This time it’s different". That is my interpretation of the situation, take it for what you will. I am not trying to prove anything and do not believe in predicting the markets in general

In essence I was saying that I am not seeing as many or as sever warning signs. That is just my interpretation based on the very limited information that I have now and had then. I am not trying to make any predictions, I do believe in pred

That is a beautiful, amazing office, except for the part where people work. I will not work in an open plan office like that. That is my opinion but as far as I understand most scientific studies support it. As opposed to industry and agile

To bad you have to pay $399 to watch the videos. http://velocityconf.com/velocity2013/public/sv/q/479 I realize it costs money to run a conference but that seems excessive.

I would also like to see many more tech article and much fewer political ones. Especially ones about the NSA, this is one instance where it would be nice if there was some kind of partitioning to HM, possibly like reddit.

Do you know why BoA wants to foreclose on so many properties? In my naive understanding of American mortgages it seems to make more sense for them so keep mortgages active as long as people are paying.
