>A bit of a click-bait title as the article does not show how much or little the super-rich of Scandinavia pay. Just a study on how much tax they are avoiding. Not even that. It's just a guess at who has money in offshore accounts.

No, it really is their money. Property ownership is a core tenet of any civilized society, and you'd be "grunting and chortling" without it.

This is true, but on the other hand it hardly makes sense for the government to save and borrow at the same time.

Money is just a way of keeping score for people like Gates and Bezos. Anyway, if you have the personality that creates a company like Amazon, you can't just sit back and enjoy it. It's just not in your nature. I had an uncle lik

The way it's normally done for those kinds of people is they take out a big loan secured by the stock, which is sold over time. So while it's technically true he can't liquidate all his shares, he can cash out if that'

Employers are still leery of too much work-from-home. My company allows it, but only one day a week. Even people who are ostensibly working from home full time typically have to show up to the office occasionally for meetings and such, so

The fix is to stop printing so much money it's basically free to borrow. These people aren't buying houses with their own money - it's all OPM.

I don't know if it's true in this case, but there are a lot of things for which an official declaration of emergency allows you to tap funds that wouldn't otherwise be available.

It's hard to look at the current media landscape and think the big problem is takeover by conservative news agencies.

The US is using very little of its resources to wage wars. Military spending as a percentage of GDP is down to pre-WW II levels. And you're underestimating the extent to which China is making enemies in the South China Sea region. Th

It seems like you'd lose your highest performers that way. People who put in a lot of extra hours expect to be compensated for it. Also, do you really want to set up your incentives such that the smart thing to do is work just hard en

That wouldn't make much sense, though. The last thing you'd want to do if you were trying to keep out a union is behave in a way your employees would see as tyrannical.

Companies don't fire for cause very much. It's just asking for a wrongful termination lawsuit.

Do we know there aren't any managers leaving? Where I work when they do this sort of thing only the very top layers of management are secure.

The problem is games are so expensive and there are so many of them you can't try them all, so it's not enough to know a game exists - you need some indication it's worth buying. That's the purpose of a review, and if y

I don't think we're going to see a crash, but a correction is definitely in order. Companies producing AAA games have been doing design by committee for a few years now, trying to distill its essence into a factory line product t

BFR will have enough performance margin to RTL for missions with F9 sized payloads. But eventually customers will want heavier payloads, and that will mean no RTL.

The FBI still has a pretty extensive toolset when they need it. No amount of encryption is going to save you from a listening device planted in the area of your super secret phone calls.

>People do not want hearing aids (typically they do not even want to accept they have a hearing loss). You need to spend an awful lot in communication and marketing and humans you can talk to in a store to convince them to try one. Ugh.

"Ungentrified"? Is that a euphemism for a place you'd want to live turning into the kind of place where you're afraid to go out of town for the weekend because all your stuff will be gone when you get back?

You are correct. I meant the ellipses to indicate a continuation of the sentence, and if you put it together you get this: "Given the power and trust we place in police, I don't feel it's unreasonable to expect they treat pe

They don't give us too much choice. They give us the illusion of more choice. If everybody has more people to choose from, it increases the probability the people you find interesting won't be interested in you.
