I'm not sure why you need to get hypothetical here. Clearly, they currently have sufficient incentive since they're currently investing in research. They are trying to get a likely small amount of additional money (the people in I

I had the same question. Looks like they just compared electricity generation pollution to combustion engine pollution. Very apples and oranges.

Because bloat is like government. Multiple people might agree that there's too much of it, but they don't necessarily agree on which parts should be gotten rid of.

A number of people working on commercial MMO design these days got their starts writing code for private servers of UO and other games from that era. The barrier to creating innovative mechanics was pretty low. There were bad parts, but als

They probably could be decoupled to some degree, but it's the grindy/pvp games that are popular. The result of this is that the interactive world aspect of online games have advanced remarkably little. Instead we get some minimal

There would probably be a little inflation from introducing a basic income, but we shouldn't expect it to put us back to square one, exactly. The re-distributive nature of a basic income will prevent some inflation, as will economies o

How is the presence of asphalt underneath an issue? The deciding factor will be whether the marginal cost of a solar path over an asphalt path will be greater or less than building an equivalent solar facility. That seems like it could go e

Hate is too strong a word, but I've seen some poorly written Scala that over used overridden operators and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

My experience at a State School in the US sounds more like your European experiences than your US experience.

I have read a lot of books but only a few more than once. I probably only remember bits I thought were important from any particular book, but when I read several on the same subject they tend to overlap in certain parts and I find I rememb

People working to understand and improve the structure of logic? The whole point is that no one would attempt to learn that way, despite the fact that mechanical application of logic says that it provides information.

Seems more likely that it's the increased geographical wealth/income segregation.

The problem with this is that many costs are inherently competitive. The pizza metaphor starts to break down here but I'll try to maintain it. The problem is that share is a flow, not a fixed quantity to be divided up. Because of compe

>Giving money to everybody would only increase the price of things. Not necessarily, inflation and the price level are more complicated than that. Creating new money in an economy with no idle capital might create 1-to-1 price level incr

Co-op modes are exceedingly common in multi-player video games? Battlestar Galactica, Pandemic, and Shadows over Camelot are popular co-op board games. Pandemic particularly has obtained a good amount of main stream appeal.

The bit about Econometrics seems a bit out of place and wrongheaded. I know this is a popular criticism of Economics in general, but I've always thought it rather non-nonsensical.

The government puts out a range of statistical measures and the media promptly ignores 95% of the data. In what way is that propaganda?

Manipulation is, ironically, a loaded word. The primary differences between 'manipulation' and the subtle behavioral clues we give to others we communicate with is that the latter is generally done unconsciously and thus not based

Well, I'm not entirely sure that subtly influencing people to be nicer to each other is a bad thing and I don't see how anything they are doing is devious or underhanded.

My main gripe with significant white space is that it forces a specific level of formatting that is generally less attractive and readable then what I would otherwise use.

I've always considered disabling javascript or using something like adblock to be bad form. Ads are annoying, but they're paying for the content I'm consuming.

I've seen a few papers directed at this exact question, but they've all come to the opposite conclusion. To be fair, these are Economics papers so some level of bias may be in effect, but I believe that at least one of the linked

I like Dart quite a bit. The tools are pretty nice and it has some good features. It's biggest problem from my perspective was the largely unfinished documentation. Many of the methods in the API reference list only signatures. I'
