Also, numbers on a clock are arbitrarily assigned. Arbitrarily changing them doesn't change anything fundamental. It's not like life is radically different on the east and west sides of a time zone either.

"evidence a very poorly performing employee was reading articles on the web most of the day" Sounds like probable cause for a warrant. Not that employers needs a warrant to use their own property, but to assure employees that the

The market doesn't pretend that it is science. But it doesn't keep alive things that clearly don't work when there are alternatives that do. The market values many dimensions, not just a few considerations or what someone de

One could also say "Subsidies for electric vehicles are clearly beating subsidies for hydrogen vehicles." All the more reason to tax what you don't want and not subsidize specific solutions. The government should focus on th

Yeah, but does that stop someone from starting their own company and hiring talented people in the same boat, as countless groups have done before?

His videos are very long. A lot there but I haven't been able to get through one yet. 2.5 hours is long. Could be 3 or 4 videos.

My policy is if you hear 18 other recruiters murmuring in the background, decline, then block that number and that email. Sometimes you get multiple contacts from different recruiters with the same company on the same day. If they won'

Yes, the process of retyping a page was automated to the backspace key! heck, it wasn't just retyping the page you wanted to change. It was all the pages after that too! When I first used a word processor, it was so liberating.

Is it rare? Whenever a tool becomes easier to use, more people can use it unassisted. Electric starters and automatic transmission probably eliminated the need or desire for some to have a driver. That's happened with lots of things.

Those that have individual rights, including freedom of speech/thought/religion and property rights. Independent courts. Freedom of movement. The right to your own body.

I wish low interest rates were the only thing incentivizing people to invest in real estate. It's tax treatment, it's bailouts, it's government buying underwater real estate and selling it at a loss to the same bank they bou

Fingers crossed. I suspect Christopher Reeve had a hand in this somehow. Creating awareness and motivation to work on this.

My guess is making it easy to unsubscribe to everything will make it more likely that people will experimentally subscribe to things in general. This is actually better for users and legitimate, useful services.

Prosperity is generated by production not consumption. And who's most likely to invest in improving productivity? I don't worry about stimulating demand when bubbles collapse. The viable parts of the economy get to pay lower pri

Acting over time, I doubt there's any misinformation that human intelligence can't see through. And if it did exist, it would be invisible. But, yes, in the short run, we can all be duped into believing SOMETHING, given the right

Eventually is a long time :-) Which is why this is true. But I doubt there aren't any currencies around from 1000 AD that haven't suffered that fate.

This is only a concern with electoral systems that deny the losing group representation. Like winner-take-all. It wouldn't make any difference at all with proportional representation. And PR can even be implemented in the executive b

Better to learn to explore and build knowledge from the ground up than to repeat it back. It is still good to know what's already known. But the teacher isn't the source for that. Google is. And there are skills for getting the
