Good luck finding a cable that supports what you want. It might only be a matter of time before we have to have chips in the cable to indicate what it can and cannot do!

True, but hardware compatibility isn't the only thing wrong with Linux desktop. There's a lot of broken stuff on the software side too (ex: X windows as the article points out). In fact, hardware compatibility hasn't been tha

PS4 is basically a modified Free BSD. So, "fixing" Linux desktop is probably doable, but extremely difficult to profitably do. Valve seemed interested when Windows introduced the App store and seemed to be going App store / P

If the central banks sold off all the bonds they bought with QE, that'd cause deflation, not inflation. In fact, the japanese central bank is printing money and buying up ETFs. It's too soon to say if this is a success, but thus f

The Next Big Thing is more rent seeking by the likes of Google and Facebook. Wouldn't be surprised if Apple chooses to get into search or social media in some way.

You ought to put some in t-bills and FDIC insured CDs. Putting all of it in index funds is too risky.

Nope! Most cryptocurrencies are even more deflationary and are designed to benefit the protocol designers and early investors. That doesn't mean we should stop trying! I haven't seen any good arguments for why a cryptocurrency can

It solves the problem of not having to rely on a central bank to maintain the value of currency. It may seem unnecessary in the US, but pretty damn useful in countries like Zimbabwe where the privilege to print money has been abused. The op

Linux support on laptops is much more mature than it was 5 years ago. I'd still avoid anything with an nVidia Optimus setup, but Intel graphics has had decent drivers on Linux for a long time now. I was a little worried about hardware

The US also has a good chunk of rare earths. It was a shortsighted move to allow the mining equipment to be sold off to China for a quick buck. But there's still time to fix this.

> Comments about gaming are valid but I think instead of buying Intel just go with a better GPU and you will win there as well. This hasn't been true for quite a while in many games. Modern engines often do utilize 6-8 cores (they h

Fair point. I'd argue that youtube has way higher network effects than an ecommerce shop and that Google paid a comparatively smaller 1B$ for a richer global market than the 16B$ that Walmart paid to grab a bite of the Indian market, e

Walmart could've started out on their own. They wouldn't have been far behind because e-commerce is still new in India. But no, they spent billions buying a glorified smartphone shop that people will desert the moment they stop of
