If you have a reasonably middle-class income, the plans are prohibitively expensive and unbelievably shitty. I'm only anecdotal, but by comparison, prior the ACA, my insurance for a family of 3 was $300/month with a $2500/yea

I use both modes. For speaking to people directly, I use an internal monologue. For coding or abstract though, I can feel the model.

Isn't gTLD by convention? It is technically feasible to set up a shadow registry and route to that, operated as a NPO.

It's rent-seeking. This outcome was obvious.

Adjusting depreciation schedules are very typical tax strategies for businesses. Hell, I've done this for a one-man shop making less than $100k in a year. Depreciation strategies are an important part of cash-flow management for capita

Bummer. I was at HP when he was CEO (and subsequently forced out). He was an inspiring, long-term thinker.

I am a complete 3D modeling neophyte. I literally spent the last few days trying to learn FreeCAD. Following the tutorials is a lesson in futility. The UI is clunky and small mistakes can have catastrophic outcomes for new users. Undo works

No, no. Let's double down on the existing system. Also, we should eliminate fancy restaurants, because that's where rich people meet other rich people. And nice houses! Housing advantage is a clear indicator of classism. Now that

The comparison ignores the blistering daily poverty of a medieval peasant. This is not merely a lack of technology - that would be a historical argument. But even basic amenities that could be easily built in this time period were difficult

It's all just degrees of suffering. European socialism is "not so bad" compared to North Korea, until you learn that Europeans on the whole are also significantly poorer than those in the US.

This is like explaining global warming to a climate change denier. The arguments for capitalism are not sexy, but the ramifications of socialism are profoundly harmful.

Inflation, taxes, and regulatory burden. Savings have been systematically eroded for 50+ years. Total taxation is now 40+% of GDP. Private sector workforce participation is dropping. Regulatory burden dramatically increases health care, hou

That's nonsense. There's no objectively healthy inflationary rate. Low interest rates are the key factor in driving demand for borrowing. Low interest rates signal a healthy supply of savings from which to borrow. So, low interest

It all comes down the regulatory hurdles. Even land prices are the result of rent-seeking behavior among land-holders due to regulatory impediment. If California would pass legislation radically limiting regulatory burdens that municipaliti

When I see articles like this, I recognize a fellow expert. The same way JSON is better in practicum than XML, despite missing some key tooling, JSON RPC 2 is better than SOAP or REST in practicum because it was designed by someone with exp

What an enormous echo chamber. I moved from senior dev to sales. My contract is 100% commission, because it aligns performance with business requirements. Good sales is every bit as difficult as good dev, maybe harder. The only people who t

Nothing really. The agency is acting as intended, namely as a regulatory body serving the interests of the major industry players at the expense of minor operators and customers. The best solution is to simply eliminate the agency.

Regulatory Capture. The FCC is staffer by special interests in the same way as the SEC or the Fed, or the Texas Railroad Commission. The purpose of a regulatory committee is to be the creature of a specific industry. Kolko gives a history

No, that results in false classification. This is saying that overtraining prevents revision of existing skills, as if the learning process is interrupted.

Pai is a very strange character. He was general counsel for Verizon, which is typical for regulatory capture stooges as far as career choices go, but worked for Jenner & Block, who's primary public record is heavily left-leaning.
