Unfortunately I think there are a lot of people who know the technology to some limited degree to do some tasks, but indeed cannot really program. They do testing or something, running scripts and needing a lot of supervision.

Perhaps they should do a better job of taking ties into account somehow. But when there's a line a million people long, the rules need to be very clear and fair, else it's just up to the mood of the agent you end up dealing with t

In terms of physics, the energy you expend when doing that work is the scarce quantity. Time is just the bookkeeping system. Good ideas are uncommon but I wouldn't call them scarce, since they can still break the rules of scarcity and

I'd call it a unit of exchange for things which really are scarce. And even if we do do think of it as something which we have artificially imposed scarcity on, this is an exchange process people opt into willingly. You're still f

Who exactly is that company? One of the first steps in arbitration is for both parties to agree on a choice of arbiter. Looking at Amazon's webpage it names the American Arbitration Association which appears to be a pretty big non-prof

If you're going to reduce the argument solely to twitter, then can't you say the same for any other alleged "cause" on twitter being censored? And therefore take your argument up with the parent poster instead of me?

I don't see why there would be tax fraud if you file state tax returns accurately. Presumably you'd file two returns, one to the state you work in asking for your refund as you've been living outside the state all year, and o

The estate can be sued for debts. There is a time limit on filing claims though and there might be some limits on what they can come after in the sense they might be considered jointly-owned like a house if you're still living there.
