Is it ridiculous to expect an economy, such as the US, to produce things of value? The author of the post you are responding to has a valid point. Consumption alone isn't sustainable.

A controversial statement to some, but IMO the US is a Corporatocracy more than a Federal Constitutional Republic. More "Modern Corporate Capitalism", less Free-market Capitalism. Point being, some businesses _are_ more equal than

In a more perfect world, I totally agree. But with American average savings so low and with the average level of financial literacy so low, expecting half of America to join the ranks of financial system watchmen is, IMHO, a tough hill to c

I'm sorry, I don't follow the logic here. Do you mind elaborating? I see some correlation between SV remote working and COVID, but don't understand how mortgage backed securities play into this. Are you suggesting higher infl

I might be missing something, but not sure why this was downvoted. Deposits <$250k are FDIC insured. One could say those accounts didn't evaluate the institution that held their funds and didn't really need to. But were they aw

> Apple has 50 billion in reserves, do you think they can find 200 thousand banks to spread that around? Good question and of course, that's not likely. But then 50B in reserves isn't something you keep in a bank account, it&#x

Also, holding all of your fiat in a single bank or financial instrument is usually not a great idea. Diversification is important to any relatively stable financial position. E.g: Fiat over $500k in a single institution is likely not earnin

I believe that would be the FDIC, which is funded by banks (its deposit insurance), right?

True, it doesn't seem likely to apply to the government itself. I'm not a lawyer, but my interpretation is that it may apply to credit bureaus and data brokers. As well, for better or worse, pretty directly affect FinTech. But I

I love that you took action to make your idea a reality. That's a trait that not everyone shares, from my experience. Writing is a wonderful way to express yourself creatively. I can relate. Essentially, it's a journal. I find jou

> Free market: an economic system in which prices are determined by unrestricted competition between privately owned businesses. Interesting concept, I wonder if it works.

Brilliant. People will often watch something they dislike with more intensity than something they like. The number of dislikes isn't the reason they want to watch it, it's the idea the title or cover image brings to mind. And thos

Promise resolution tracking for political choices could be a useful tool. With each promise tracked you could produce a percent which could be displayed with the candidates picture and a brief synopsis of their "score". The contac

Lol, absolutely. Austin may have been the right guy to start the company, but IMHO, he should've handed it off to someone with a background in education a long time ago.

I think the problem is that their part time outcomes were much smaller than full time. And it wasn't entirely an instructor or curriculum related problem. You are correct that schools like this (secondary/trade, not ISA, necessari

My ISA with lambda is for $30k USD that I started paying after I landed a job. There is no additional tuition. Program is less than a year. That's significantly cheaper than any of the universities I could have gone to. The trade off,

I think this is correct, re: the Pareto principle. I'm a Lambda grad (Full stack web, not DS) and at the end of the program, I was knowledgeable about a lot more than I understood; and that also includes being knowledgeable about a lot

For the brief amount of time I was your student at Lambda, you made a huge impression. Beyond this tutorial, you're a gifted teacher and inspirational person. Much respect and love! I'll read your future-brainwave-transmission tut

I agree. Tools exist, for analysts and engineers (MS Access comes to mind for the analyst, python for the engineer), that would rectify the problem. And I think it's a fair assumption to say that those tools would be readily available.

Really interesting point of view. I have some opinions about your logic and I in no way am trying to attack you. I disagree... the irony is not lost on me, either. Comparing: - Reading the source code of HashMap vs reading the API. to -
