Having worked for a major dispute resolution provider, these conversations generally leave out a lot of context. Lots of Gell-Mann Amnesia. First, 90% of arbitration is between firms, not consumers. Consumer driven arbitration is rare enoug

This was a valuable insight, thank you. I've heard similar justification for farm subsidies; paying them not to grow food, to keep prices sufficiently high. It seems wasteful until you compare it to the regular cycle of famines humanit

This seems like sarcasm, but I believe this is ultimately the goal. Call it Star Trek post scarcity, or fully automated gay space communism, or the Culture. People only work if they choose. Not everyone who wants one gets major capital inve

Best way to capitalize on this? Infosec employees follow the same anemic HR compensation song and dance, often lumped in with all engineering as a category. Security startups are known as "cockroaches," they never die but are a ha
