The FDIC has never been bailed out, and as I pointed out, there are plenty of public benefits to that government guarantee. We would be less wealthy as a society without it.

The FDIC is funded by banks. The FDIC did not have to use taxpayer dollars during the financial crisis. In practice, the FDIC has not been involved in these socialized risks you speak of, though if it ran out of money, the government would

Musk said in October that Tesla would be cash flow positive in a month's time. If he was correct, it's no longer accurate to say that Tesla is losing money. http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/update-elon-musk

Texas used to not have a business income tax, but in 2006, a business "margin" tax was enacted that is pretty much the same thing. http://heartland.org/sites/default/files/03-02-12_drenner-le... (PDF)

I'm sure there are plenty of regional PBR equivalents. In Austin, it's Lone Star. I rarely see PBR, but I see plenty of hipsters.

There's no privacy statement involved. It's an email. Emails get forwarded. It's polite to ask first.

I use Cue/Greplin for full-text social search. I use it primarily for finding things I know I've seen in my news feed or on Twitter before. It works well. https://www.cueup.com/

Electricity is being worked on, as that press release indicates. On the hottest day or two of the year, the power might go out for a little bit. It's not a big deal. Water is going to be the biggest issue this legislative session. Californi

Congress decides the range of punishments for breaking laws, not the Department of Justice. Congress is elected by the people. Instead of trying to identify individuals to indict, consider the role of 300 million Americans who implicitly ba

"This further increases the ability of Stanford to keep its student body composed of financial elites--while touting its "generous" financial aid policy." This just isn't true. The student body has a diverse range of incomes, and the fina

Dollar Shave Club got ~$10M of their ~$11M funding two months ago [1]. This makes the argument that they've done nothing with their funding a bit silly. It also indicates that there might be plans they have that we haven't seen yet, but ar

Good school districts already exist on the peninsula. The author suggests merely densifying them, which is anathema to the people who currently live in them.

Canada's system would be as constitutional as Medicare is. The Affordable Care Act introduced a novel (to U.S. case law) mechanism for getting everyone insured.

Buying them outright would be easier, but you wouldn't get the 1% transaction fee that BitPay enjoys. Thanks for the link. It sounds like they buy more bitcoins than they can sell off without crashing the market, so they're probably holding

BitPay is essentially bitcoin arbitrage. A buyer wants to purchase something with bitcoins. A seller wants to receive payment in USD (or EUR, etc). BitPay buys the bitcoins and gives the seller conventional currency. They're left hanging on

When I actively read them, I valued the communities of Slashdot, Fark and Metafilter just as much as I value the Reddit community. Reddit is less unique in that regard than you might think. It is absolutely more replaceable than the New Yor

Can you give a value for the half-life of caffeine? I think you might be confusing its biological half-life with its half-life as it decomposes in water. From what I can gather, the latter isn't particularly short.

Gender and race are orthogonal to one's merit as a speaker. Content is very relevant to one's merit as a speaker. There's a huge difference. Choosing speakers based on gender and/or racial diversity is a bad idea. It's disrespectful to the
