The market would come to the same conclusion in time but only if they are right. The conclusion about the need for incentives is therefore wrong. It will just encourage rent seeking and destroy efficiency. It's important for the govern

Red flag. Sounds like I'll be slaving away in some mine to be honest. I suppose I'd need 50% more compensation to accept working like that.

Although there are better reasons to reject crypto, energy usage for crypto has few benefits aside of speculation/gambling for material gain. In Europe, energy bills for most people have tripled so reducing energy demand is a priority

Well former minister Teeven is certainly a bit of an oddity since he used to be the leader of the fortuynist offshoot party Leefbaar Nederland. It is not often people make it from the far right to a mainstream party. I'm not sure about

Vietnam is actually a very free economy that is all about free enterprise. It's very common there to make a living doing all kinds of street hustles. the government doesn't like to shut them down. Pretty typical for a developing c

The benefits scandal was caused by some overzealousness on the part of the tax authorities in response to the Bulgar fraud. Not really a case of lack of integrity just people trying to do their job and making a mistake. mistakes like that w

Although I do share the concerns it's impossible to know what this would do in practice. For the most part I think our Government (ie the Dutch one) is run by people with integrity. I doubt they'd want to cause scandal by overload

Happy user here. Congratulations to the company. Would be cool if they invested some into autofill functionality for their Android app because that doesn't seem to work as it should.

So called Bayesian analysis frequently goes awry because of its ultimate dependence on assumptions (priors). But you don't even bother to do a calculation.

The author mentions he doesn't want us to judge him on his past. But I don't think teenagers are that different from adults so I doubt there is any real basis for that. He'd probably still do it if that was the best way to ma

It takes time to get your stuff delivered. And quite a bit of money for heavier loads.

Ridiculous to continue peddling bikes as replacement for cars. Im Dutch and I grew up in a family with all of the environmentalist nonsense surrounding bikes. So I never wanted one. They stink after all and I had some trauma from biking thr

Landlording is something that is likely to make a person more racist. A couple of bad experiences and you start preferring people similar to those that did not give trouble in the past.

I've kinda noticed it too. It's one of the downsides of working from home. Personally my productivity has only gone up but I'm worried about my colleagues. Sometimes it's hard to get a hold of them for hours. It's i

So it works now and I am sort of disappointed. I can get to Paris and London, which, don't get me wrong, is nice. But Paris is I think three hours and apparently I can't get to anywhere South of there in five.

Paris Marx, what's in a name. Doesn't mean he is wrong. Uber should just respect the UK supreme court ruling. Minimum wage laws are there for a reason and if you don't comply well I think limited liability shouldn't even

At the end of the day a job where you only see your boss half an hour every two or three days and otherwise have no interaction is convenient but probably doesn't make you feel important. Better jobs are the ones where people listen to

Steam should simply disallow this. People invest thousands into a games collection. Having games become inaccessible is not acceptable. If they do not and this becomes the norm nobody will even bother with Steam anymore. People will just mo

I often use vim for editing files but not code. The need to adhere to corporate style pretty much kills it for that.

The bad part is Russian gas got the greenlight too (at least until 2035).

Meanwhile in Russia they are doing heating with water from nuclear powerplants. While price gouging Germany for gas.

It put me at 82% put my age at 20 (I am 34 and visibly graying). This was the project of a student of a local uni so I'm not going to put too much stock in it. But as student projects go it's pretty slick.

Personally I don't trust entrepreneurs whether solo or otherwise. They're solely motivated by greed. At least when it's an organisation you will not have to deal with them directly but with their underlings who might be less

It has already been very hot up north too. 38.7 for England. On top of that places like England have famously high humidity.
