Sure, there are a lot of question marks about the methods, but the long time effects are astonishing Because Widow Ramos no longer had a husband to share her hovel with, GDP per capita in the hamlet doubled! How prosperous she must have

You would not render the middle east irrelevant by erasing the dependence on crude oil. I personally think you could in fact be doing the middle east the biggest favour if you could make the global oil price drop to zero . At least to th

No but look: The result of the 2 votes is that the British people are just fine and dandy with David Cameron and his policies. Said policies are to cut healthcare and education for the British people, while spending to send more helicopte

No, the point flew over your head. The point is that America's global hegemony shouldn't be maintained. Quite apart from the jackass immorality of it, maintaining hegemony implies indebting America to the point of economic collapse whil

I believe Battle of Britain veteran John Catt was arrested under "anti-terror" laws for protesting the Iraq war. He's now a designated "Extremist" http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/feb/11/john-cat... I can imagine the day when

Next you'll be telling me that the hundreds of years in which islam used violence to dominate Spain was a Golden Age of tolerance and multi-culturalism. I'll take moslem Spain over Torquemada any day. It is complete stupidity to assert Is

The right thing to do is to look at the root cause of all this. The root cause would be the West arming and training militant Islam. Back in the day, there was the Caliphate, which was the government of Turkey and Egypt, and the Salafis,

I don't find these two examples comparable because I find it hard to believe that the American population is currently voting or acting to reinstate slavery. When you pay your taxes to the Pentagon and vote to reelect George W Bush, AlQ

Liberty produces far more equality than the pursuit of equality could ever achieve Nonsense! I know this code: "pursuit of equality" = giving medicine, schooling to the poor "liberty" = medieval scale deregulation + tax cuts for billionai

I think any economic system should reward getting wealthy Huh? Wealth IS the reward. I don't understand why you would reward someone for getting rewarded. Normally, one is rewarded for doing things that lead to desired outcomes. A rationa

First, find actual data to back the assertion that low capital gains taxes back innovation . I think you'll find that it is in fact seed capital and small business loans that back innovation, and that these facilities are generally pro

First, what you describe is the appearance of low cost (next to a horrible alternative), as opposed to actual low cost. Second, the reason for this "cheapness" is not multi-tenancy but the complicated rules and structures . The lar

On EC2 you don't even have cost savings from multi-tenant, because EC2 costs more than dedicated hosting. So let's consider the logic of the proposition instead of particular companies. The benefits of multi-tenant come from not having to p

I was referring to the Hudson book mentioned at the link, not Roberts's "punditry" as you call it. Oh, and where did I say Volcker and Bernanke should use the same policy tools ? The big difference between Volcker and Greenspan is that Vol

I second this. By the way, the law works through deterrence. Say this is a douchebag workplace mistreating a douchebag employee, and they get punished. Now they serve as example to the next douchebag workplace, who hesitate before mistrea

When I was in high school, if a guy called me "raghead", I'd call him "white trash" back. I didn't see it as me being racist, just as retaliation. But then again, I didn't see the other guy as racist, just as an asshole. I was eccentric and
