Yes, and the National Socialists had similar growth in response. I'm not sure that was a good bargain.

Too late? If Bernie's campaign managed to force Clinton to the left he's as responsible as anyone for Trump's presidency.

I'm pretty sure he understands that. I don't think that was the point of the video.

Is he calling for the government to step in and force Google to monetize his channel?

My dad was on that stuff and he decided his quality of life was so low he wouldn't take it under any circumstances.

I wouldn't say the US defends "the world", but certainly countries like Germany and Japan are getting a pretty good deal from the US taxpayer.

It sort of depends on where you work. I'm in the US and I get five weeks of vacation. My colleagues take off contiguous weeks all the time. Of course you're not going to get that in your first year at a startup, but that sort o

I'm more impressed they're able to do it with a rocket that can't hover.

You're underestimating the shock waves those engines produce. During launches you see camera footage from miles away shaking as the engines go to full power. Of course there are solutions, but they're all expensive, and SpaceX ha

Wood is ridiculously expensive. On a percentage basis I doubt a big increase in wages would change the price of the end product much at all. This article reminds me of the one we get from growers periodically. They're having trouble

From what I can see there seems to be a shift in thinking as people buy less stuff and spend more on experiences. The signaling is still there with the experiences, though. I like your "stop signaling" rule. That's really t

You can't build "dyson swarm big" without a whole lot of cheap energy, though. It's a chicken and egg problem.

by gozur88 9y ago
That's not really true. If you maintain the same level of spending but cut taxes, you're going to get money going into the economy. When those government issued securities are bought, for instance, there's someone on the ot

This is the real problem with fractional reserve systems. In theory they could be used to damp out the business cycle. In real democracies voters always want low taxes and high spending irrespective of the state of the economy.

We have ways to synthesize hydrocarbons - it's just that they require very cheap energy to be practical. Also some things (like asphalt) are only cheap because we're already refining oil to make fuels. It's essentially a byp

The difference is the right wing talk radio shows are on commercial radio. Any show on NPR has an enormous advantage, because they're not packed with advertisements that tempt people to flip to another station. So the host can't

The Leaf is a bit lean on range for me. That's not a bad price, though.

I didn't miss the point. That was a joke.

I can't see a law like that passing in the US for generations.

There's a real question as to whether we'll have enough copper, too.

by gozur88 9y ago
Apparently you won't get much for it, then. I'm kind of in the same boat, but I'd really like to get an electric model that's been produced for a few years, which means there won't be much on the used market.

People who consider words to be violence aren't worth paying attention to, particularly since these are the same people who think violence in the service of their own ideology is speech.

Twitter's Trust and Safety Council is a little bit SJW, but mostly it's there to keep celebrities from being bothered so much they stop tweeting. You can be as mean as you want to a nobody, but tweet something even a little bit d

by gozur88 9y ago
The amazing thing about Twitter is even though it really is publish/subscribe for celebrities, many people following celebrity feeds feel like it's two-way communication. Which is crazy.

That's just an anti-radiation missile, which have been around for decades. We already have the technology for autonomous drones, but they potentially create a huge political problem. You don't want to be the guy who authorized an

It's not at all gratuitous, assuming you're applying the actual definition of the word.

Ugh. I can't stand Terry Gross. They should call it "Terry Gross Talks About Her Feelings While Interesting Guests Listen And Wonder What They're Doing There."
