The three fifths compromise was reached to reduce the effect that you are bringing up. The northern and southern states saw the writing in the wall for slavery when the constitution was signed. Virginia’s part was already merged, Maryland s

This is a good use of twitter to apply engineering and figure out issues. The problem is that PG&E’s incentives are significantly misaligned to not be successful: 1. Crazy renewable edicts that do not have base power assumptions (see b

Short sellers have a place in the market. They put in place a mechanism, in real markets, to hold a stock to honesty. Imagine if WeWork could be shorted, people would have been able to hold the stock price down. Instead of the last minute m

A great way to stifle innovation. Apple has been trying out cables and transfer types over the years (thunderbolt, CD-ROM, USB, wireless) and they do it on the backs of the luxury users, not too far off from what the luxury car makers in te

The funny moment of all this is how Google is becoming the type of search browser that existed in 2000. Altavista, webcrawler, yahoo, and others were the default search engines, but then they started to let advertisers override the search r

Nuclear is far safer than any other power generation method. Nuclear reactors, when not made like Cherynobl’s reactor are safe. There is no intrinsic danger at a nuclear power plant because it is engineered away through fail safes. If we ar

If politicians could focus their efforts on actually solving problems instead of giving hand outs to their tort lawyer buddies, we might get a better system. The lawsuits would include: - autoplay of gifs vs web videos - does Pinterest coun

Absolutely not. China is doubling down on becoming the unipolarity. No where do they go that they do not perform the same sausage tactics as the Soviets. The question becomes, like in all non capitalistic environments, can they succeed befo
