One by one: 1. Freer movement of capital. This is a false herring in my opinion. Virtually no countries outside the US/EU offer completely free movement of money. The thing that matters is whether this prevents foreign capital investme

This doesn't seem like a particularly compelling argument. Bad loan volumes have risen, but not above historical highs. As a percentage of total debt, the article says bad debt is at 1.67%. This is up 51% from 1.25% in the last year. C

If you borrowed $100 but kept it in a bank account, then you'd be losing to the negative interest rate on that sum too (and friction of having to make regular payments). The only way to benefit is to borrow and invest that money, which

One of the most important factors in eliminating mosquito vectors in the 40s & 50s was absolutely rampant use of DDT. It remains the most cost effective insect killer. Perhaps soon its use in certain areas will be reconsidered.

Well, consumers shouldn't be much worse off, otherwise it creates an arbitrage opportunity. Although Pepsi and Coke may be indexed, they aren't the same entity allowing investors to just own one. If there's some action that P

This is cool, but incomplete. An index fund would still want competition if by competing, Pepsi gains 100% and Coke loses 1%. i.e., in any case where competition grows the pie rather than cuts it up differently, the index fund would want co

This is false. There's no reason I should be able to embed the following onto someone else's page: https://hulbee.com/?query=%3Ca%20href%3D%22%23%22%20obfuscate%3D%22238942932djwdj928%22%20onClick%3D%22alert(&

It depends on the target. If this is a server, then you could potentially keep multiple copies of Guava in your lib (with different namespaces) and use the appropriate one (this will also require some jiggering with the compile flags for va

This is a good strategy if you want to trade parts of the Apple earnings report. For example, INVN is barely down at all while Apple is down >7%, implying that whatever component INVN supplies is still in demand by Apple (i.e., that part

From an earlier HN post, apparently when Gogo invented their tech, basically every airline signed long term contracts at ridiculous rates. Even if they want to compete, their locked into a cost structure using outdated technology. I bet in
