Intellectual property purports to foster innovation and reward idea-havers. It does the opposite, stifling innovation and rewarding rent seekers over tinkerers. See case study of a notable IP monopoly, Watt's steam engine: https:&#x2F

There are a few other mfgs, Yuji is another great one, but the best price/performance IMO is SunLike from Seoul Semiconductor. They are in GE Sun Filled and Norb SMILE bulbs in the US. http://www.seoulsemicon.com/en&#x2

You say it's challenging, are you implying there are actually any successful instantiations running at scale?

Yeah, try commissioning art with a single paragraph prompt and getting exactly what you want without iteration.

Happened to me many times browsing restaurants / using a map during recent trip with 13 mini. Sucks to suffer a map reload when you're on roaming data with few bars.

GAAP compliance has no bearing on accuracy. Accounting intangibles are suggestions at best, the market discovers the true value of assets. Where's the market on bad EA ideas?

The ends do justify the means. It's just that the means are also ends.

Stanfield's logic is simply wrong. 1. Spermidine found to increase lifespan and fertility in mice. 2. Spermidine levels not found to increase in blood or certain tissues when fed to mice. 3. Therefore, 1 is wrong. Finding 2 in no way d

Yeah these are good points. Let schools act as creditors or not, depending on their business model. What's important is that government shouldn't be acting as a misaligned lending institution.

Even dumber. Because this time it's not the banks outsmarting regulators with opaque products, it's the regulators themselves saying "lend all you want, we'll back the loan!"

1. It would lower price of education, because you no longer have a source of infinite credit. 2. More people would "get to" go to college, because 1. 3. Those who do get loans, would get loans proportional to the value the educati

Sure. Or why have federal loans at all?

Yes, and? If the underwriting on the loan is bad (which it is), they won't recover enough. The root problem is those making the loans don't actually have skin in the game because of government guarantees.

Ok, call it delinquency. You can't legally default on student debt, but functionally , those who have not and will never make their repayments have defaulted, you're just not calling it that.

Schools don't need to be burdened with credit management, nor do they have the capability. When you take out a loan for a business, you don't take out loans directly from each of your suppliers and employees, you go to a bank who

When we get another 2008. When enough people default on their debt, the government (i.e. the taxpayers) is now on the hook to guarantee these loans (i.e. bail out the banks).

A market cannot exist if the central government is guaranteeing loans (i.e. ensuring there are no survival incentives for lenders). Remove the guarantees, and market will correct itself.

by sooheon 3y ago
Better answer: just stop central government guarantees on loans. State guarantees are what allow FM&FM to lend money without regard for actual risk management, because they know they will be bailed out. Remove the guarantees, and banks

Loose credit fuels bubbles, who'd have thought? State backed credit guarantees are a conditional obligation, meaning they don't affect the state balance sheet (until they do, all at once). It's like crack for central governme
