The US currently taxes the rich extremely low when compared to other countries or the US in the good old times. All this was rationalized with trickle down economics which have turned out to be utter nonsense. The wealth of those unfathomab

You also have to take into consideration feedback effects though. COVID-19 would be much worse if people didn’t react to it. There’s also an automatic reaction to it by people which is too slow though as could be seen in Wuhan, Milano and N

The problem is that those words are really bad for describing things. “Communism” can mean among other things authoritarian regime, UdSSR-Style socialism, China-style state capitalism, or the idea of an utopia with no social classes, no mo

Market free from government control is an oxymoron. Trade starts at the local group based on gift and debts. States create markets by making people pay taxes that they have to get the money for. Without a rules a market ceases to be free as

The first kind of job might be treating you much better than the second kind though. People with high motivation can often perform better while being treated worse. The game industry is a good example for that. I heard that musk complained

The solution isn’t a tax but a deposit you get back for bringing back the bottles. It worked greatly for Germany and other European countries, but Coca Cola is heavily lobbying against similar laws.

May I ask for how long you took that loan? I’m from Germany and a lot of people live here from around $15 000 per year. 150 thousand seems like such a big amount, but I guess life is also more expensive in the US. I just want to understand,

You’re right to be skeptical, as some bad actors try to push the idea that electric cars are worse polluters than ICE cars. Still this seems to be a problem both for electrical and ICE cars, that needs to be taken seriously and maybe can be

“Fiat” money has its value by there being a lot of obligations in it. If I sell stuff for Bitcoin, I still have to pay taxes in Euro to the German State for that. There are a lot of credits in fiat currency that have to be paid off. Currenc

Central banks seem to accept low deflation now. At least here in Germany we have low deflation. The money the central banks print is not for preventing inflation. They would need to put money in the hands of common people, but it just stays

I think Android chips have less die area though (because they have less cache) and many android devices are rather cheap and have SoCs produced on older processes.

GCC would not have taken it anyway, they tried to prevent parts of GCC getting used independently or as a library to keep the lock-in to GNU, while the architecture of LLVM is of embeddable reusable libraries.

I think it’s more about prescription drugs versus otc drugs. Prescription drugs need a prescription because they have potentially dangerous side effects. Often you don’t get a wanted effect without potential side effects. OTC drugs are usua

I think one big problem in society is that it is becoming more apparent that news are often of very low quality. A lot of it is either sensationalism that is detached from reality, selective reporting or just copied from PR. And it’s not ev

Automation is a good thing. It leads to higher productivity and people can do other things instead. If a job cannot pay a living wage and doesn’t offer a decent work environment it shouldn’t.
