It seems that a potential solution to this, as various economists have proposed, is "helicopter money". In other words, have the central bank print money and distribute it to the people. The main criticism for this is that it is i

This analysis is dead-wrong. Passive investors will sell GM, not buy in. Index funds are weighted by capitalization. So whether GM's capitalization goes up or not is actually irrelevant: what's relevant is the ratio of its capital

I'm one of these ML-derived ideologues this article disparages. I hate Go precisely because of the reasons outlined in this article. In my perspective, OCaml and occupies mainly the same niche that Go does (same balance between high-le

Capitalism provides an answer, but it's not to pay people more. Wages are determined by the labor market, and employers should pay market prices. Rather, capitalism's answer is for companies to return the cash to their shareholder

I should have said that "we are providing the maximum that we possibly can". It just seems like there's no marginal benefit to increased productivity right now. There's lots we could do to hurt the human condition: we co

The statement "the US is out of demand" is equivalent with the statement "we are producing more than we need". Don't argue with me, argue with the parent. What I'm arguing for is on how we should look at univer

ADHD is a cognitive disorder of executing functioning. Its original name was "minimal brain dysfunction". It has little to do with how you feel, and most to do with how you function. It is easy to demonstrate with cognitive tests.

We hear you. Let me see if I'm understanding the criticism: when creating a consumer, the sync point of a new consumer really should start from the very beginning of the topic, at a predictable explicit start point, rather than at the

The word "crusade" has the same meaning it always had. It has a positive connotation, just as it always had. And the same goes for the word "jihad" in the Islamic world.
