I think your wife is right. I have a tesla and I always think about that indicating something. Also Tesla's are so ubiquitous it doesn't matter that much like it used to be, and you can get a used one for pretty cheap. But that ri

And also, the customer has the money and gets to make a choice. Sure, supply and demand is a real thing. But there is also a notion of friction blocking the sale. Everyone absolutely hates considering a new purchase that doesn't give y

Where is the place that mid level software engineers think there are not good career prospects and they'd get paid more? I can only guess it's a place where there aren't many dev jobs. My experience is in the Seattle area and

Did they terminate other people's tickets? The interesting article does mention booking the extra seat and not using it.

Your example illustrates to me why moral hazard isn't the best title for this. We should provide free housing to people in need so they don't do things like commit a crime to go to jail.

The US isn't in the same league. We have independent and trustworthy federal police (the fbi). They are under attack by the president but they are more trustworthy than I ever realized in general. I don't see political investigati

There is nonneglible cost in the pack. Tesla's have heating and cooling and individual battery wiring. Not sure of the cost difference, maybe 10%more wag

It wasn't like foreign autos weren't successful in the us until 5-10 years ago. BMW, Audi, VAG were not just suddenly crushing us companies.

Another potential bribe to get someone into a prestigious school. This one is interesting because the student seems well qualified and had a brother already at Harvard. The father bought his son's potential future fencing coach's

My whole adult life I wished I was living in a repeat of the 60s. Not because of the war or turmoil, sexism, racism, murder of people like MLK (sounds bad when you put it that way), but because of the freedom, the sense that america was mov

Rich people shouldn't just push legislation that benefits them. It's clearly a negative to our country. ALEC has already shown they are not helping things. One prominent example is their legislation that makes it illegal for commu

I think there's huge potential for patented ui patterns to follow the same problematic sequence as regular patents - patent trolls, and the "it's like xyz, but on a computer". yes, there were brilliant ideas in the origi
