There are significant policy failings here that need to be addressed, but assuming that will take a long time or is disincentivized from occurring at all, are there technology solutions that can be built to help these people? At the very be

Right, that's definitely a huge component, and one that is focused on in the original article. I bring up these other factors because they're not mentioned, including the fact that the rate of entrepreneurship has actually increas

Is the charging for turn by turn directions also hyperbole? Because I don’t see how that could happen. For one, taking something free and then charging for it generally doesn’t really work. More importantly, though, the free competitors are

A text-based interface is easiest for reporters to use, so while texting is slow, it’s superior to a web service in the low-bandwidth environment of the Capitol. This is disturbing to hear. How can our congress make the best decisions pos

Why isn't Spec-ID/FIFO completely automatic by default? The fact such an immaterial determination can have such a financial impact is absurd, but isn't the obvious solution for brokers to automatically do FIFO or Spec-ID base

If someone with $30,000 in savings makes 30 stock transactions per year at $10 a trade, they’ve lost 1% of their total to fees, $300. If they’re expecting 7% annual returns that ends up reducing earnings by 14% per year. The math for the ma

This looks awesome. Though, I'm disappointed the face tracking has pretty limited landmarks and no positional tracking, I'm sure they'll improve the models in the future. https://firebase.google.com/docs/

Bacteria grow at an exponential rate :) What at an incredible equilibrium. In optimal conditions E. coli can double every twenty minutes! These organisms live on a completely different time scale.

Seems like six of one, half dozen of the other. The merchants are the ones directly paying the transaction fee, but merchants only provide services to consumers in the for-profit sector so long as they can make a profit. As a bit of an extr

In the case being tried, why is it not straightforward to demonstrate that higher costs for the merchants due to anti-competitive practices by credit card companies leads to higher costs for consumers, and therefore meets the two-sided mark

It seems unfair to compare 18F attrition to GSA, as people in tech generally have a lot more options than people in other government sectors. For comparison, the ~2 year average retention at 18F is among the best of the big tech companies [

That's really smart. I hadn't even considered that and was naively operating on a default assumption of increasing GDP. Especially during a recession, adjusting the basic-income downwards with GDP could create a devastating runawa
