You're mixing two definitions of inflation. Bitcoin undergoes monetary inflation as the supply increases until the late 21st century. Since the supply increases more slowly than the demand for the currency increases, the bitcoin economy see

The market for train travel from New York to Austin is pretty much non-existent because it just doesn't make any sense unless you can't fly for some reason. Even with high speed trains, it'd be a ridiculous choice. With demand so inelastic,

My rephrasing of that is, "If the working world is systematically biased against women, was it biased against Sandberg? Why did her male bosses and mentors choose her to be the exception? Would female bosses and mentors have made Sandberg's

Aside from this being really uncool, FounderDating doesn't really work anyway. I've done it. Gathering a whole bunch of people who have an idea they want to work on in one place doesn't lead to very many of them pairing up and ditching one

I think clean energy enthusiasm is rational. The scientific consensus is that emissions are warming the planet, which will have large, undesirable effects. A rational response to that is to limit emissions. We haven't done so, which seems l

Property owners and landlords will charge the highest rent they can convince someone to pay, so treating them as active agents in this scenario doesn't seem useful to me. Supply and demand determine what people are willing to pay for housin

While I highly recommend improv and consider it one of the best choices I've made with my life, I don't think the benefits translate as easily to public speaking as one might think. A huge chunk of improv is learning to turn your brain off

As far as public schools go, the article only excludes the UCs because they can't consider race. In fact, it uses Berkeley as a peer for the elite private schools. There's no other public school that has a reputation across all disciplines

The comparison between Caltech and the Ivies is a bit unfair. Caltech is in California, which has more Asians, and people tend to attend schools near home. Adding in Stanford would be illustrative.

I've used it in Austin. I think the idea is flawed, but I've wasted $50 in worse ways before. Basically, everyone shows up with ideas they're already committed to, so no one finds co-founders.

Whether property sales are public depends on the state you're in. Texas, for instance, doesn't make sale prices public.

The events you've outlined don't require intellectual dishonesty at all. It's possible to have thought war was a prudent course of action in 2003, then to have changed one's mind by 2013.

My office for the past few summers has had a shower, so I biked most of the time. Riding the bus isn't bad either as long as you can wait in the shade.

If you choose where you live and work carefully, living without a car in Austin isn't so bad. In particular, car2go is a godsend. That plus my bike and the bus get me around.

I enjoyed this article, but it's worth pointing out that this safety net exists in any tech-heavy city. In fact, that safety net is one of the biggest advantages of cities to begin with ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_agglomera

RSS is trivial to implement, and there's considerable value in having a machine-readable version of a publication. New media consumption tools often rely on RSS to get started at the very least, and letting your competitors get a leg up whe
