Walgreens, drug stores, and grocery stores continue to exist in your city. People continue to open new businesses. People and their families remain in your downtown areas, etc etc.

90s era cars aren’t close to meeting current requirements. The new requirements may in fact explain all of the price increases. I imagine there would be a market for a “new 2005” civic at say 7k$, because one exists for the old ones at 2k.

40000 * 837000 = 33.48 billion dollars. This solution, as implemented, can not possibly solve the problem, ever. The upkeep on the housing alone would be a billion dollars a year!

I used to listen to NPR while doing chores like washing dishes, laundry, driving, etc. As of late, I’ve come to be increasingly dissatisfied with NPR functioning as the unofficial spokesperson for the Democratic Party (chiefly broadcastin

Pay is not determined by worth or value, exactly. It is chiefly driven by supply and demand. The supply of workers outside of the Bay willing to accept 25% less than a Bay area salary is more or less everyone while no one in the Bay would

For some reason, this code [1] is still accessible on the public internet! This dates back to CoreOS and the Tectonic (CoreOS's k8s distro) Console. The code needed to be rewritten, I had familiarity with React, and after the nth tim

My recollection is probably a bit off, but IIRC, the FBI knowingly and repeatedly lied to the FISA court ("material misstatements") in order to obtain secret search warrants to spy on the Tump campaign based on opposition research

Is this really an accurate description of big tech? That doesn’t match my impression of Amazon for instance. I suppose FB has been machine learningized, but there wasn’t a market there to begin with nor is particularly clear to me that FB

Does this really make sense in terms of actual dollars? There is just no way that google spends less than 1% of its income on employees, right? Even 10% is way way too low. It’s probably closer to to 35% with another 25% or so going to k

I lead a project that did an in place rewrite from angular to react while still shipping new features. We wrote an angular -> react shim so that we could render react leaf nodes. We worked down the angular stack replacing increasingly

A tax on capitalization is fundamentally different than one on profit or income. A chip fab is a 20 billion investment over 3 or more years. They'd pay out upwards of a billion dollars before they begin to sell anything. Any domesti

Post war America was a truly unique time and place. Literally the entire industrial world was destroyed apart from the US. I’m not so quick to blame bad policy. The world was going to catch up eventually and start competing, right?

In this scenario, I can only assume that corporations are not subject to the same tax, less you would destroy every medium to large business that competes internationally? This would be all domestic manufacturing for instance. If so, I don

You start a business, and against the odds it’s successful! You hire employees as it grows to scale operations, only now it’s now worth 11 million dollars. Now what? Do you have to pay 100k in taxes to cover a totally illiquid asset? Who

Just the opposite - consider the replication crisis. Our a priori belief should be that any published paper in the social sciences is junk without extremely compelling evidence to the contrary. This is an evidenced based position! Or, let

There is no or next to no empirical correlation between school funding and outcome in the US. I’d go so far as to suggest this proposal has cause and effect reversed. The push to send everyone to college at literally any cost has been a ge

Risk of death from Delta was ~200x higher for the elderly. Obesity added another ~4x. It doesn't matter if vaccines lower that by ~90% because the baseline risk is still there. Florida skewing much, much older has a massive impact i

Trump voters (Republicans) are older and less healthy. It could just as well be that demographic has more adverse reactions.

There is more than a slight difference between moving to California and Saskatchewan - just the same, adding another 10% to the state income tax will send quite a few people in the other direction. I’d agree that universal health care proba
