Nope. I wonder if they switched to one if the effect would be the same.

Couldn't they just say they use an auction mechanism, so there's one price, but it's a clearing price?

The bay area will lose more experienced older workers if the only way to exist here is to share an apartment with other young single people. Companies should care about this.

Uber pool gives it a very strong network effect. You need enough riders going in the same direction as you at the same time. When I do my morning commute, I can't take Lyft because there isn't a critical mass and there isn't

I tried to set up a Discourse discussion forum for our neighborhood this year, and got stuck on setting up an email server that wouldn’t get blocked automatically by all major providers. Email is not a healthy ecosystem. You have to pay to

My capital gains have no difference in treatment between CA and federal. It's just one line on the form. It's ridiculous I can't use CA electronic filing because of this.

Does fusion still have much of a role now that renewables are increasingly competetive? We can pretty much already harness infinite energy for all our needs from an already working fusion generator our planet happens to orbit around.

If someone pours gasoline over everything, but someone else lights the match, why do we put all the blame on the match lighter? Building flammable homes right next to super dry, brush filled forests is just an invitation for disaster.

Hooray for Mozilla for joining this cause. They’re definitely one of the better companies around protecting the original ideals of the internet.

Federal agencies are not absolute monarchs in their domains. They can issue regulations only that comply with their mandates from law and that were produced according to procedures as stated in law. In this case, they have to go through a f

If you don't own a home, you are effectively short the housing market. If you own one home you are neutral: you can't sell it to make a profit because you always need one roof over your head. If you own more than one house, you ar

Google shows a lot more than a link and increasingly is tailored to answer your question and prevent you from going to the site that provided the information in the first place.

2) Central government bails out bad loans by selling a portion of their $3T in foreign reserves, including $1T of US government debt. Chinese creditors, investors and citizens are made whole. Foreign bond prices fall and interest rates ris

There are far more engineering roles than product manager roles, it’s far less stressful to be an engineer, and it’s tricky to continue along that PM career path because your knowledge gets specialized by industry. These articles make young

Yeah, the hijinks with the general fund are a problem. I think we need an electoral system that will allow multiple parties, because single party rule makes it hard to hold anyone accountable. But Republicans aren’t viable here and we’d nee

The counterpoint is the status quo. Keep building more roads and expanding suburbs. To be fair, this has worked well for the second half of the 20th century. Land was plentiful and a whole generation got the American dream suburban home at

Nuclear power does not play well with renewables. It's a steady baseload source, but solar and wind are highly variable and need something that can switch on or off to fill in the gaps. You can't turn on and off a nuclear plant th

This was a great article. I like how she highlights how predatory pricing and cross business subsidization used to be considered wrong and it was a shift in the courts that changed that.

Newspapers are dying off. Readers land on an article linked from Google then leave. Maybe in the interest of free speech, we do actually need the link tax. Users need to start using the homepages of these news sites and discovering their fu

Unfortunately, only residents get to vote, not people who are just working there during the day. And these areas are so expensive, most of their workers commute from outside.

I NEED generics to do any quantitative code. I evaluated Go for a project, and completely ruled it out because of this. You're unable to write an algorithm for float 32s and 64s, scalars vs vectors vs matrices, etc. There might be a bi

Learn to be a well rounded informed citizen in high school when it’s free. If you’re going to go $100k into debt, it had better help you get a job.

I can’t recommend enough using Atom with the Hydrogen plugin. A Jupyter kernel runs in the back and you can execute a line or multiple lines of code at once just like the web notebooks. But you’re editing a plain code file, not an .ipynb, w

They are thugs, using their market power to extract more than their fair share. In a competitive market, you may gain an advantage because you came up with the first fancy cafe chain, but then other coffee shops are built and keep the pric

Maybe Apple and Google should be paying app makers instead considering how much more valuable their phones become BECAUSE of apps. If there was perfect competition between more than two OS makers, I'd predict the charge would be closer

They are not a red herring. California tried to do this, and its a Democratic state, not swayed by Grover Norquist, but Intuit blocked it. https://www.npr.org/2017/03/29/521954033/stanford-professor-...

Porting existing C, C++ library code hand tailored with 0 based indexing is incredibly painful and error prone. And unfortunately, that’s what most libraries used underneath python or R wrappers use.

It's a sign public equity markets aren't structured well that companies aren't encouraged to think long term. The most successful companies in today's markets don't even allow common shareholders to control the comp

re Xamarin: Only reloading your XAML or CSS is supported. With Dart, you can reload all your code, in the same way JS developers have had hot reload for ages now. I'm not sure if C# will be able to support this. This really leverages D
