If you're cleaning it regularly then the rain won't wash off very many pollutants.

Yeah I meant vs. linux. True that it should continue to be a motivator for potential Mac switchers.

The problem with using government to break up companies is regulatory capture ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture ). Companies have the interest and resources to influence the very government agencies that

What I meant is that a lot of rich people support more re-distributive economic policies, like high marginal taxes and expansion of welfare.

The claim is that "the alternative to letting the price mechanism bring supply and demand into line is to rely on something worse, such as rationing or queues." The way the system works is we assume a profit-maximization motive

Isn't a large newspaper always going to be owned by the rich, almost by definition? And there are a lot of progressive/liberal rich too.

The companies were always seeking maximum profit; obviously something changed since before the inflation hit.

> inflation is being abused to raise prices Inflation is the rising of prices. If prices are rising around you, it makes sense to raise your own prices. Just like it makes sense for workers to look for raises (i.e. raise their prices).

Do you mean that WSJ is lying about the statistics of people quitting less?

I wonder if Microsoft does this because gaming has been one of the biggest differentiators for their OS. That's an advantage that is rapidly fading and they want to hold onto it as long as possible.

It was a transformative book for me when I first read it, but now when I leaf through it I feel a little underwhelmed; the ideas are just things I've thought about a million times now.

> That a computer can play chess better than any human doesn't lessen my personal enjoyment of playing chess. Agreed. I understand what DH is saying, but I fail to see how it translates into this all-consuming terror of his.

I don't know about that. I had two one-hour tutoring sessions that helped me immensely. Going through all of Khan Academy might have helped just as much, but would have taken much, much longer.

Do you think central banks should be given jurisdiction over fiscal policy? Historically, they have been limited to monetary policy, no?

I disagree, you can address it by keeping your car cleaned regularly at a car washing business that filters and recycles wash water.

That is a really good idea: make something for someone you really care about and who really cares about you.

I would think you would be making games with and without your engine as its being developed.

It seems rare for there to be famous personalities as 'in the background' as game developers are. The exceptions I can think of tend to have their name in huge letters on the covers of things (book authors, movie directors). But m

This is one argument for universal basic income: that it will lead to an explosive output in the arts. (I don't know enough about the debate than to comment on it further than that.)

I believe that desiring to be truly known by more than a couple of your closest relations is unfortunately a losing proposition. I'm just making up numbers, but I think about 90% of people's caring about other people goes to the

They said "Even if you use environmentally friendly soap, or no soap, the water coming of the car isn't exactly clean." If the rain is falling on your car it will have the same issue, no?
