The problem is that margin requirements are extremely high. So people are unlikely to tie up that much capital. But more appropriately the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Very nice. I notice I keep accidentally swapping pieces when I mean to switch to highlight a different piece. I wonder if a dragging motion would be more natural.

Fun to play and somewhat challenging. The rules are simple, but I kind of wish there was a single pop-up with the rules. It would have saved me some trial and error.

As I mentioned, there needs to be both components, royalties and valuation. I'm not sure what the proper mix would be, but it seems like an area where a market based solution could work. You'd probably need some form of arbitrat

I would be interested to see a patent/intellectual property system that was incorporated into a market for licensing. Taxes would be levied on the market value. You would pay taxes based on the royalties collected in the open market,

I was surprised not to see anything about RAII techniques ( http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/raii ). Tightly-managing resources via object lifecycle is probably one of the killer features that C++ bri

Also, without paid overtime, workers are often expected to make up productivity outside of the meetings.

Pensions are great when they work, but it's impossible to predict solvency at retirement age. It's one of the most under-reported financial travesties, but your pension can be taken away when you need it. Even the public pension

The upper bound of salary is determined by the value that employee provides (or is expected to provide over their time at the company). But more realistically, pay is determined by the amount of money required to prevent an employee from q

Seeing whether someone can code has to be part of the recipe. It's surprising how many candidates can't demonstrate basic coding ability. The coding component is better if it requires the candidate to ask questions about what is

It seems like a mistake to extend preventative health care inferences for senior citizens to the general public. They are the largest cohort receiving medical testing and treatment. Also, fee for service encourages over-testing and treatme

Is there anything sadder or creepier than an hourglass with a swastika on it? What a horrible time for humanity.

Is that mortage cost in real terms? If interest rates are close to appreciation rate, you might break even in real terms (apart from tax/maintenance costs).

You are describing social upheaval on a massive scale. If this happens quickly, it will be messy.

One aspect of the original Civ I always enjoyed was when a country could sometimes split into two. It wasn't in later versions, although I haven't played some of the more recent versions. I know myself too well (Civ games are gr

I worry about the ability to fabricate false evidence. To prove authenticity of facts, we may need to build a trail of evidence for non-repudiation. This dovetails somewhat with reputation. Being able to prove authenticity of a document,

My experience with C++ has been watching a trend towards standardization across platforms, and incorporation of functional programming concepts.

Warren Buffet is 87 years old. It's likely that much of the impact of global warming won't be felt until after his lifetime.

Inflation seems to only kick in when it enters the money cycle (non-banking sectors). The US Fed built up massive amounts of securities holdings over the last 10 years which injected a lot of money into the economy. However, inflation mos

Some exchanges post sales data available for free. If you are relying on the full market data stream, you are talking about a considerable amount of data. In some cases, terabytes per week. It may be less costly to buy the data than conn

You are probably better off learning more about what Martin Thompson calls 'mechanical sympathy'. Check out the LMAX/Disruptor talks. There are some blog around high performance/low latency computing.

I would be shocked to hear that they fabricated a chip. The cost and loss of flexibility vs an FPGA makes it unlikely. Very little is so static that the power and latency savings pays for itself. I wouldn't be surprised if these fir

This is a huge problem. The limiting factor appears to be the number of residency spots, not the number of accepted medical school students. We should take some of the billions our Federal government spends and increase the number of resid

I worry about being on the cusp of not being able to discern real from non-real. Pictures, stories, audio, video can be convincingly fabricated. Our society and the rule of law may not be able to function. Maybe (hopefully?) we can devel
