Is the outsourcing somewhat recent? I've been reading through the actual text in the Piketty book and he discusses the relative advantages of large university endowments vs smaller ones. He has a data table in it for 1980-2010 where th

The S&P 500 is also a much safer hands-off investment which is likely to beat most active investors - especially for the amounts of investment we're talking about for $1/day (or even $10-100/day...) http://www.

The other interesting thing about that data is that the average number of employees per business has more than doubled from 1995 to 2005. This hints that there is a scaling limit to the conventional business wisdom that larger businesses ar

Silicon Valley can provide tools, or perhaps supplant some industries, but the bulk of productivity improvement is internal to companies. I think the productivity slowdown is a result of many companies not investing in internal improvement&

If it is malice - the order for Apple to help should be reversed. If it is incompetence then that bolsters the argument that any backdoor will lead to leaks and unauthorized access to the backdoor, causing more harm to everyone.

I think it might be easier to get to a syntax-aware diff if one approached it reusing the language specific syntax highlighting specs used in various editors. I've almost sat down to start that myself a few times.

Assume some model, and do calculations within that model to tell you what the probability of some event is under that model. What is just about impossible to calculate is what the probability is that the model captures only way for X event

It's only a wealth transfer because the industries receiving revenue from oil consider that income 'theirs'. Besides being misguided, I think it's interesting insight into the mindset of businesses.

Maybe the average temp/rainfall moves north in some places, but doesn't the variability also increase delivering more frequent swings into extreme conditions, in turn causing more frequent crop failures?

There's a false equivalence between basic income and communism in your reasoning. Under failing communistic systems, that fixed income was generally the only allowed income, whereas basic income is guaranteed at a minimum level with ot
