In theory that money in a savings account or investment vehicle gets circulated back into the rest of the economy, but I think what we're seeing is that cash is tied up in some sort of buffer/holding effect in the financial sector

I would argue that the overall economy is more productive when the lowest wages meet some minimal living line (higher than we have now). This causes businesses to search to meet a higher efficiency of value creation in order to stay in bus

The US is out of demand because wages for Gen X and millennials have been minimized by decades of shift in the power balance between employers & labor, on top of that, many millennials have been saddled with much higher education costs

Qt5 is big in its entirety, but I've found when I've sat down to do a quick gui app in C++ that the development goes reasonably quickly. It's been nice for me in desktop and embedded environments. The QML side of things I&#x2

It seems to me that holding large amounts of cash is only viable when inflation stays low. So a higher level of inflation might cause the release of some of these huge cash reserves in the form of real investment (real in terms of hands doi

The quality of the experience can also depend on what routes and/or hubs people use regularly. Airlines also have different grades of presence at various airports.

hiding != taking away Or put longer: hiding functionality with out actually taking away the need to manually interact with the function is a superficial design utility improvement.

I think it's simplest to tax copyrighted intellectual property like other property such as real estate. If you want to maintain it beyond some standard copyright term. (and make that term shorter than it is today) So if one wants to co

So the categories where MA wins are ones that basically penalize CA for having other healthy non-tech industries.

There are likely more skills that you have beyond language which you have developed in Avionics SW. There are high verification/validation SW work environments which you probably have developed skills (e.g. medical or automotive). Ther

Sure thing, the best case is where the original code & data is available, and a cross check replication does an independent reimplementation. There's a little bit of risk that peeking at the original code might lead one down a wron

I have a nagging concern that security-wise, consolidated financial sites like Mint will always be an attractive nuisance because they're single collection point for a huge number of credentials for financial account access. So, right

I lean towards more open code and data, but could one argue that if the code uses some fundamentally new, non-trivial methodology, a replication of the research should write new code implementing that method from it's description. Othe

If anything science tends to point more to the fact that there isn't a single metric of intelligence that is somehow the most important. Maybe the most important factor isn't intelligence at all and is some combination of intellig

Well, if someone were to put together a spot compression or generation system, how many older storage sites / leaks sites exist such that it would be worth the apply the capital to design and assemble a number of units which could be l

Capture, compress, and truck it over to some other nat-gas burning facility. Really it seems like other options are being dismissed purely on cost - but the cost of extended legal complications after the fact will be huge.

There's an irregular community around the 'Rocket stove' concept who seem to love playing around with different stove designs. It's briefly mentioned in the article, but it's a good starter term to search if you&#x2

Price gouging may be perfectly legal in the drug price context, but it gives cause to re-examine a whole range of implicit assumptions re: how capitalism is allowed (encouraged?) to operate vs how well it delivers benefits to society.

So the mechanics are somewhat supported directly by bitcoin, but, how does the bitcoin customer get their money back even if the escrow company agrees that the terms of the sale weren't met? (added [1]) And then you still have a questi

Wouldn't bitcoin give rise to the opposite problem - consumers paying bitcoin now shoulder all the risk of buying from a bad vendor.

That makes me think that applying a machine learning algorithm to suggest conflict merge fixes would be a fun little project.

Hmm, I wonder what happens when you take a team which is heavily editing in a village, and then multiple team members each have their individual mini-OSM of the same village to sync back? Don't you end up needing to be able to express

When I listened to this RadioLab podcast[1], I was shocked at how recently that colonial atrocities in Africa occurred on the part of western governments. Though the 60s are 50+ years ago, I think they could still be considered part of the

I think the mistake is assuming that $20/mo/fan is the upper bound. That's just a baseline direct subscription number. What ESPN should do then is offer a menu of more specialized sports products on top of that baseline. I do

The interface that most of the visualizers work with is DFHack [1]. DFHack is a third party, open source utility that can access the memory of the game. It also has access to the interface system as well as the map contents. [1] http:&#x2F

I think more visibility is better, and in this case maybe would give tech companies some food for thought re: how they approach net neutrality issues in politics.

I wonder if the $100,000 machine cost vs $100 sensor cost is mixing apples and oranges. Maybe the $100 is just hardware, while the $100,000 represents hardware, a repeatable process to manufacture the hardware, the costs of certifying the d
