Here are some factors that might have a role -- 1) Those who found companies, or who otherwise become rich through their work (e.g. pro athletes), as opposed to more passive ways to make money, in a way have a viewpoint similar to a feudal

Sadly the article did not go into more detail about the political constraints affecting immigration policy. "Our immigration policy — any immigration policy — is ultimately not just a statement about how much we care about immigrants,

QZ probably overstates the case, but makes a point worth considering -- cop, fire, and doc dramas rarely hold their professions to something other than reverence. Though I guess we have to at least acknowledge the existence of Brooklyn Nine

So now the question becomes -- which day should become the third day? I vote for Friday. It's the Muslim worship day - and snuggles nicely against the Jewish and Christian worship days. It would give "Thank God It's Friday&qu

King County will probably slap a tax on foreign home-buyers much like Vancouver did. Then the buyers will target Portland.

It was among the least-expected articles I had ever read on LI, especially in light of LI's mission to promote "professional" networking.

Never heard of extradition for civil judgements. The thought sent a chill up my spine. I do know -- from a friend -- that the US and some other countries have signed a treaty for reciprocal enforcement of child support.

Whatever your opinion on Snowden, his actions pre- and post-exposure, let's at least agree on the following: 1) Snowden would probably not have gotten a trial, he would probably have gone to Gitmo, forever. That's how post-9/

>Mylan was actively involved in pushing a 2013 federal law encouraging schools nationwide to stock EpiPens. And the company takes credit for legislation in at least 10 states that require the product in hotels, restaurants and other plac

Few people outside of Manhattan picture a home as an office building with a doorman. A few (closer to 20 now that I looked) years ago, Atlanta had a mini-boom of hi-rise condo building. A couple of the properties did very well; they were mo

It's worth asking what drove the states to cut aid. Some states have certainly had lower tax revenues than expected. But some states (probably) felt safe moving the funding problem onto loans and/or sources such as lottery proceed

I don't think we should rule out the US, as they conduct defense drills all of the time. In this case, they don't overtly control the assets under attack, but would still want to know how resilient our networks are "in the re

So if they try this in the US, I hope they call the new currency the clam. Or maybe the sur-real. <rim shot>

Most of what athletes and actors make comes from the scale that mass media provides. Not much different than the source of internet titans' wealth. If teachers and other public workers could achieve the same scale, they could probably

85 percent [of prosecutors] ran unopposed in general elections. I would speculate the remaining 15 percent were assistant running against their boss -- which even in America, is a huge career gamble.

About the only modification I would add to TaaS is making ride-sharing optional -- a personal preference of mine, that might prove worthy of a premium. If I liked sharing space with others, I would take a bus to work.

Actually, it sounds worse than network news, which has no problem monetizing controversial content, such as crime, war, civil unrest, etc.

Driving times might decrease more than the simulation suggests -- if the cars are able to co-ordinate their stops and starts, avoiding the "accordion effect" so common with human-piloted cars in traffic. And, if the public accepts
