He's referring to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was introduced in late 2017, signed in nearly at the end of the year. The argument would be that it hasn't happened yet, comparing them to the Bush tax cuts (2001, 2003) t

This has always felt very bizarre to me. From an anti-competitive standpoint it makes sense, but from an antitrust i.e. harming the consumer standpoint, it feels a bit nebulous. Who is actually the beneficiary of this action? It seems prett

No, I'm not going to retire my trite remark. You can't stage a protest in a shopping mall, no matter how much it looks like a public space. There's no expectation you would have freedom of speech there. The liberty of propert

What I've found interesting in all this, and I don't really intend it as pessimism, is that people think 'innocent until proven guilty' is a common thing, when the scope seems quite limited. It mostly only applies in cri

woah, that certainly took a turn. not that i think it's wrong , just a humorously abrupt shift.

Yeah, simple as that, Levine is a trained lawyer. Whenever he talks about his rules of insider trading, it's peppered with "now this is definitely not legal advice, but..."

It's incredible how organic it feels for something so compact. The interaction with the grass is just so right. You never cease to amaze at turning code into, just exquisite design. Thanks for all your work.

It's the correct results, but it's sort of the backwards interpretation. If you think that interest rates are going to go down a la 2008, there is going to be less demand for short term debt (price goes down, yield goes up), and d

lane spitting is mostly illegal in the us, but a legal thing in california. so here, in dead stop traffic, you in fact can do that, and it doesn't involve weaving in and out of traffic. calm down.

Thank you for actually showing feature size metrics, it has been a bit maddening to see people say 'you can compare them directly' but then I can't find a lot of comparisons about any kinds of features.

ianal, but this honestly seems odd to me. I'm assuming in this case all the issues are with transmission, which is afaik mostly regulated by FERC and CAISO in this case, but California's weird for these sort of things so who knows

Probably it reads like textbook gatekeeping and doesn't add much to the discussion. Granted this doesn't really either, but I'd rather people be interested in learning something rather than just be intimidated because they ca

I've been really confused about the reaction around this. It feels like so many people are just waiting to find out how this is a scam, like this is still the same Microsoft. "Oooh, just you wait, they're tricking you with th
