Will a chinese company really comply with the US court system in terms of discovery? I would question if they are going to comply with discovery in a way that a US company might. What exactly is forcing them to hand over actual documentatio

Of all the "eras" possible this is a disappointing article, I thought it would be about the risk to apple from deteriorating US China relations. I'm pretty sure that will have a bigger effect that services vs phone prices.

Maybe just because a population has a particular makeup in terms of percent of minorities and genders doesn't mean that exact make up will be represented at every grouping in society. Just like the NBA doesn't represent the USAs a

On your first point - it is a completely idealistic worldview to believe that somehow, without effort everyone should be treated equally by everyone else, without any conflicts about boundaries, what you are worth etc. If you are not willin

Spoken like a true economist talking from the ivory tower. Just because average inflation is the same, doesn't mean every product's inflation is the same. You will see much larger inflation in goods everyone needs, especially low

Even if average inflation doesn't go up, when you look at specifics it doesn't look very good for the poor, the very people it's supposed to help. Take your example. - Low income housing costs will probably inflate because al

So... why isn't it $1m? Or $1bn for that matter? As long as its something like $1000, my argument still applies. Are you saying you'd like to see a UBI of $1m?

You can tax jeff bezos as much as you want, low end property prices will still go up, (and food etc), because poorer people will have more money, and will spend it on the same things. You might decrease the demand for luxury yachts, but dem

Something no one ever talks about with UBI is how the effects will be eliminated in a few years. The very things poorer people would buy from it would get more expensive by the UBI proportion, it will just be inflated away. When everyone ha

Right, so you’ve just admitted your argument is flawed, it won’t work in the long run, and “it’s complicated”. But yeah, sounds absolutely perfect, carbon tax plus ubi. Problem is that’s it, it sounds great.

Why don’t they just give the money to spacex? This is such typical French/eu behaviour. Let’s build something that already exists, for 10x the price, 10 years late, so that we can create jobs and have our own... Except the market viabi

We have some real scientific insight here. I’m also sure you are a super successful entrepreneur and so definitely know it’s 90% luck.

What exactly gives you more faith in the old continent? The thousands of unicorns Europe has? No, there are hardly any. The UX nightmares cookie laws create? No. Lower bandwidth fees than in the US? That is actually because of regulatory c

It’s interesting to see that it’s not necessarily that Keynesianism works, it’s just that is helps governments avoid making decisions. And this has made it incredibly popular. I don’t think it can be used forever. It’s a bit like carrying o

Another great insight from him is that companies go downhill once a sales person runs it, not a product person. While I'm sure he thought Tim Cook was the best choice to take over, he's just not a product person, and it shows. I w

Europeans are also good at feeling ashamed of it, and talking publicly about it, and shaming themselves about it. Somehow the fact that the soviets and maoist killed more people each than "europeans" (this is quite the american ge

And you think humans will do a good job at correctly assessing pieces of content on the sliding scale of “hate”? When one moment it’s fine debating gender issues and a moment later it’s hate speech? For 35,000 people? This is an impossible

Interesting how Italy almost went bust for the reason you mention, if the ECB wouldn't have stepped in (potentially illegally, which we might find out in the future), we would have had a eurozone crises. But of course the guardian neve

Wow, a 300 word article referencing "business confidence" falling and that the UK "would have" grown 3% more had Brexit not happened. Sounds like real rock solid science. I mean it's super simple subtracting a world

Unfortunately the same reasoning could be applied to Hertz selling stock in a bankrupt company, which would have been impossible 5-10 years ago, but maybe even a few months ago. I think the markets have been completely messed up by stimulus

I love this new narrative that allowing the president of the USA to communicate on the largest platform in the world is siding with him or being in alliance with him. At least be honest and say that you want Zuckerberg to censor and police

Why 12%? Seems like a completely arbitrary number, with 0 market input. Why shouldn't it be 40% for that matter, if a bureaucrat is going to set it? This is the major issue in cases like this, who sets the number? How do they calculate
