It also doesn't say, "Get a job under a chef as a prep cook." Whereas, above in paragraph 5 he explicitly says to do anything except cook. For me to assume the concluding "Get a job" is a continuation of the theme set forth in "do something

Am I missing a pop culture reference? Last sentence reads, "Get a job. You numpty." I take that as get a job doing something else. I don't think it unreasonable to train for the job you want.

For those who want to become a celebrity chef, the writer says to "do something else: marketing, renting restaurants, anything except the job you're not qualified to do." That's one bit of advice. The other advice, if given to someone who c

"Believing far too credulously in an invisible hand, the Federal Reserve failed to see the subprime crisis coming." I assume he is stating the Fed believes in a stable state.But the Federal Open Market Committee meets 8 times a year to eval

Paul Ormerod makes a similar argument in Why Most Things Things Fail: that the economy is a dynamic system, therefore any theory that rests on an assumption of a static equilibrium will not reasonably approximate reality. It seems though th

skylan_q: taking a step back, I'm being a bit liberal with the traditional use of inflation. Inflation is generally reserved for the 'general' price level. I don't believe we are capable of determining the 'general' price level, and the con

Talk of overvaluation when based on anecdotal isolated evidence is unbecoming of HN. Please, if this is serious conversation, someone compile a valid statistical sample of indicators.

Is a home overvalued just because the bank determines it is not safe to offer a mortgage on it? Only to the bank. If I have cash and am willing to pay that amount, the home is reasonably valued/priced.

What is inflation?

A bubble is the overvaluation of an asset class, or merely...inflation. "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon." And another way: The value of any asset as evinced by its price is merely the willingness and ability of som

Is there any experience with merely hiding abusive commenters. That is, I'd like the option to be able mark an individual as hidden so that I don't have to read his comments again; the individual is still public to anyone who hasn't marked

I work in land development and as much as I despise much politically based zoning, zoning is decidedly NOT the source of a developer's profit. Zoning issues may increase the final price of a home, but that difference is not going to the dev

And here we have the economist who won't pick a twenty-dollar bill off the sidewalk, because if it were really there someone would have picked it up already.

I just went to a free Chomsky lecture last week and of the dozens of people I've talked to who also went, all went for the political works, even the linguists.

Corporatism is not corporate. Corporatism just means special interest groups leveraging power. Corporate means relating to a company.

That was my first reaction, that it was reactionary for reaction's sake. But at the end, he makes a more humanist plea.

I don't believe his concern is with how interesting the talks are. The corporatism of TED as seen by the writer is that TED's epistemology, the very style of the lectures, serves the interests of the Silicon Valley establishment, in part by
