Can you name a recent IPO that didn't put funds in the corporate coffers? If the complaint is that people are investing in companies that are a Bad Bet, the solution is simple. Don't buy stocks that are you think are losers. That&

I don't think they are that squeamish about hiding it. VC's talk all the time about investing in people and understanding that their ideas May shift over time. Tyler Cowen is a big proponent of pre-selecting talented people and no

Both can be bad, and I think people take issue with intentionally projecting false or irresponsible confidence (lying). Zitron twists and misreports a lot of facts where they should know better. CEO hypemen knowingly conflate Ambitions for

Why would anyone want that model of consumption? It seems terrible. I don't want to invest in a director to make a movie I may or may not be interested in

I get that there is a partisan fiasco. I also think these geographic renamings are tacky and childish. I get that dems are disproportionately bothered by them, I just dont see how they are specifically attacks on the dems. Its not like Trum

In what sense are these renamings attacks on Democrats specifically?

The California Public Utility Commission manages them on the basis of profit margin. The state Utility Commission basically operates on a fancy Cost Plus basis, limiting them all to 10% profits. I personally think this is crazy and drives u

You might prefer to have the vacancy filled faster rather than waiting for the highest possible price. These algorithmic pricing cases kind of revolve around this concept. It is the value that the service provided the companies. Landlord in

I think that is the wrong way to think about it. The end state is you can trust others because nobody even wants to or considers it. Punishing violators is being proposed as how to build the norm that no one wants to steal.

Interesting dichotomy. I think a lot of people would have no problem. I think I would consider myself in that group. I think some lives are worth negative, and everyone is better off with them dead.

And I think history provides some prophylactic counterbalance to the cynical narrative. To hear some people talk, people are inherently evil, and the US has been a downhill project to oppress since the days of the founding. History shows th

Too bad, I was genuinely curious about how you viewed cynicism, and thought I was being clear and polite in my questions. Self-deprecating even. I think your reaction is rather ironic given the context. An example of how people can't e

Maybe I'm being slow, but I still dont get the difference. Isn't the 2nd the same as the first? Isn't the first a product of generator of cognative dissonance? Doubling down on beliefs that pay rent, even when it doesn't

I think this growth in cynicism really depends on where people start from. A lot of people were taught and reinforced a inaccurate model of the world. When confronted with reality, it can't stand up and the individuals become angry and

Its not subversion or a trick. It is reasonable and functioning as intended. There was no deception or trick. It was 100% up front and what those involved expected. There is no moral failing aside from those stealing and spreading outrage.
