No they are not. Birth rates have declined in India and China as well. However, all those people have to live ssomewhere. So, per capita emissions are more than fair and accurate. If that is not the right way to look at it then how about th

Perhaps inflation was a concern in an economic system where 1) A physical commodity (Gold) was the store of value, and 2) Debt was not easily accessible. Neither of these are true anymore and inflation now will be a reflection of true scarc

Ah - so, we should not change our behavior based on new knowledge? Perhaps we should also allow chemical companies to dump toxic pollutants because we called that living before the clean air and water act...

Is there a basis for the positive bias towards Asians and women here? If I have to follow the logic of a lot of statements in this thread perhaps VCs show a positive bias due to experience (better returns)? See https://www.google

What is your basis for "white guys outperform other groups" in this specific scenario (entrepreneurship)? Perhaps VCs know that women and Asians outperform white guys and hence this bias.

Funnily enough, there is more gender diversity in Indian tech companies (or local operations of US tech companies). See https://go.451research.com/women-in-tech-india-employment-tr...

Let's not blame overzealous regulation. I am sure unregulated business would have found the cheapest way to manage fires (if the fires were detrimental) with no regard to environmental consequences

People hiring you have a choice (usual not life threatening). People who need medical attention do not.

So, a cop was fired in Oklahoma for citing a 3-year old with a $2500 fine for public urination. Sounds kinda harsh given that you can't get cops fired even for killing unarmed law-abiding civilians. Wonder what happened there (did he p

I wonder how much of AI growth in China is driven by this use case - the need to censor at scale.

Also, the performance gap between flagship Samsung and iPhone (even 8) is now just too large to ignore.

Yeah. AUS, NZ, SK, Taiwan, Japan did not weld their doors shut. SK, Japan, Taiwan had more doors open than most of the US.

Yeah. Lets attribute this to geography. Not good policy executed well. Taiwan and SK are some of the most dense countries on the planet and they were able to keep this in control.

Yes. And then the incentive will be to buy up all available capacity and create artifical scarcity. If you believe that we are dealing with profit maximizing actors then this is the likely outcome in the absence of any price control. Lets s

OK. How does Fed policy influence whether or not we get universal Healthcare? Whether or not we have reliable grids? All these are still very much (one could argues even easier) possible in low interest environments...

Well, this is how you get anti-vaxxers as well...don't listen to the experts blindly and do your own "research". Most of the population lacks the skills (as evidenced by general math scores) to make even a partially informed

Yes, Australia has cases popping up but it now has 25 or deaths per million vs. 1300 for the US. I think the outcomes are pretty different here.
