In a P=NP world, it still takes only one uninformed participant to make the market inefficient. I don't think the implication is bidirectionally true unless you assume every single player is rational, infinitely smart, and has access t

I did an internship in Switzerland in 2007 and mobile data was 14 USD/MB while I had unlimited data in the US. The place I was staying in Zurich had only 128 kbps ISDN while I had a symmetric gigabit line in my US dorm room. At that ti

Medicare is a different thing, the government should be providing medical care for everyone to begin with, regardless of what they make. My definition is if you need to borrow money to put a roof over your head, at the minimum renting, you&

If you have negative net worth and the bank's money, not yours, is buying your food and housing, you are in abject poverty, just that the system is propping up your survival for a while. A lot of the US looks like they're doing

I wish they made lights monochromatic in one R, one G, one B wavelength, that way they'd be easier to filter out in astrophotography. Sodium lights were acutally kind of nice because they're mildly filterable with dinodymium glass

Everyone on the internet loves to put doctors on a pedestal, but I think upwards of 30% of my doctor visits have been misdiagnosed. There's a reason I ask AI about absolutely everything medical and there's a reason I keep extra qu

That's the point. Instead of buying it, they can just have it. By $50 I meant that they're buying everything at-cost internally. Only $50 of taxpayer money is needed to procure that steel, instead of $100. > And the property, b

Not a bad thing at all. When the government buys a piece of steel, a chunk of that is property taxes of the owner of the factory building, a huge chunk of that is business taxes, a huge chunk of that is income taxes of the workers that work

Capitalism, by nature, will want to force everything to the limit. It's the same thing that happens to housing. People complain housing gets expensive because of "tech workers". No. The reality is greedy landlords can charg

It's way easier to just not give them a way they can charge you. That way you don't have to deal with a support representative fakely asking you how your weekend was, and who doesn't actually care about your weekend.
