An example of a guy who left nearly a decade ago to avoid paying taxes on wealth he did virtually nothing to earn is not data of an impending mass exodus of the ultra wealthy. Yes, there are handful number of people who have done such thing

No one thinks that. The fundamental problem is the recognition that the lack of a central database has led to citizens who have the right to vote being denied that right. Voting is a right, voting is a right, voting is a right. If the US go

The issue is that the first amendment isn't absolute, there are in fact limits, those limits however have been effectively rescinded when it comes to corporations but are still in place for individuals. The disparity of power this affo

It likely inverted because vehicles don't come with two sets of steering instruments and therefore co-pilot/driver means something else in the driving world.

Because the execs at Jeep know the limitations of their platform, Tesla on the other hand just loves to roll the dice.

It's may or may not be, and most likely not. Humans are more than just software, they are also hardware. And no, the consumer grade cameras included in Tesla vehicles are not replicas for eyeballs.

This is rich. I was watching a K8S/Puppet video from 2016 on YouTube today. In that video, the presenter pulls up HackerNews and the 6th item on HackerNews at that time was exactly this: All Tesla vehicles now have all the hardware nee

Reduced hours leads to either the ability to work more jobs, or achieve more education, or achieve more leisure, or some other alternative. In all cases, you are better off if you make the same amount of money and work fewer hours. Automati

Progress has been happening in our economy for over 200 years now. There is always the next boogeyman that is going to ruin the economy, yet it never materializes. And if automation does in fact cause harm the way you suggest it will, and i

That's just optimal game theory at play. Higher taxes on the wealthy have literally no effect in the long term on there ability to purchase goods because they are only bidding against other wealthy people who are subject to the same ta

Yet, some (most?) of the best games of this generation don't do that. I agree the loot boxes are terrible, and I think that the government should outlaw them, but I find it hard to be outraged at MTX and DLC when I've literally s

by dlp211 6y ago
MTXs and season passes aren't going away in games that deploy them. But they may stay away in AAA games that haven't been infected with them yet. I don't understand why you think games have been dumbed down though.

Getting 70% from digital is still superior to the 55% you'd get at retail.

And you don't have to buy any of that. Stop concerning yourself with what others spend their money on.

by dlp211 6y ago
Let's be clear, there are plenty of AAA games that do not nickle & dime you. There are also a bunch where they do sell additional material, mostly additional campaigns via DLC, that is no way necessary. Just off the top of my head,

The Legend of Zelda had a team of 6, a dev cycle of about a year, and sold 6 Million copies at $50(1986/7/8/9/90). BotW had a dev team in the 100's, took 5 years of development, and has sold ~18MM (Switch) copies to

The difficulty to become a teacher is in no way correlated with the ability to teach.

1. there is no reason to be pedantic about the language around QI. We are not in court, so you're not impressing anyone with your "actually" non-sense. Any reasonable person can infer that I was talking about cases in which Q

You can't take the stats of a charter school vs its district peers and extrapolate that to the state level. It's also notable that Massachusetts doesn't have a recent report. I also took a look at the 2019 Washington (my stat

The best k-12 schools in the US are in states that have teachers unions, so maybe go rethink your hypothesis.

If you think it is easy to become a teacher, boy do I have news for you.

by dlp211 6y ago
Yes, in theory, teachers are covered by QI, however, in practice 2 things are different: 1 is that there are extremely few cases of QI for teachers, QI is used primarily by police officers 2 is that the unions don't back teachers that

So letting them gamble it away on options and individual stocks is the answer? Like I get your point, but Robinhood isn't helping these people make good financial decisions.
