Guess you just ignored the “do what’s right” part of my comment, that’s convenient. So please explain to me what part of a law that prohibits people from doing business with a Russian state owned enterprise doesn’t make sense?

Maybe, or one could argue that the second amendment applies to the most modern and capable arms of the day e.g. the musket of the time = an assault rifle today Don’t want to talk guns, but want to illustrate the challenges of making such cl

I don’t think an originalist would take this view. To use hyperbole, I don’t think anyone intended the bill to empower the epa to shut down the energy industry.

Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck because they are out spending their money (bars, restaurants, gas commuting, going to the movies etc. = discretionary spending), but because of lockdowns they weren’t able to do that (yes some of tha

While I’m not bullish I think markets are now closer to fairly valued than extreme over valuation, on a Schiller PE basis we are somewhere between the 5 and 10 year trailing averages, the 20 year average puts you at 25.9x which is a 12% dro

This is easier said than done, but here goes: 1) exercise. 6 days a week (2 good cardio days, two stretchy (Pilates/yoga), and two sports/outside/weights) 2) eat healthily a) 90% plant no carb plant based (salads etc) 10% wh

I mean that public sector employees are underpaid. Comparing consultants and in-house cost is always going to to result in 2-3x disparity (you’re paying a premium for swing capacity). I’m willing to bet the state employee is overpaid Vs his

On top of all that, You also have to solve for the structural inefficiency of public sector pay and benefits. Public sector employees make tons more than than private sector counterparts when you account for pensions and benefits, but those

Citation please? Everything I’ve seen implies public sector employees in California make massively more than their private sector counterparts.

The private markets are very liquid for quality assets, you don’t need to go public for that, and the sec would not prevent these actions, their requirements would be comprehensive disclosure of the conflicts, not prohibition

Except I think in the case where I’m an LP in both funds I potentially pay an incentive fee in Old fund even if the value defines dramatically in new fund, so still could be bad for me

I don’t see this going anywhere unless a) it becomes costly/risky to hold customer data, b) it’s mandated by law, or c) there is massive customer demand Unfortunately I don’t see any of those on the horizon…

I would have thought you would have been able to recover associated expenses in small claims court like the cost of your other hotel?

Wow kind of a making my case here - you’ve assumed that I have some anti-science position (and why are we talking about gay gay people?) and have said nothing of the sort. when in fact it’s really just that seemingly numerate and intellige

Honestly if it weren’t so depressing I’d enjoy the schadenfreude of watching Californians sacrifice one sacred cow - science (economics), for another - their social mores. I’m constantly amazed by my friends who can get into the minutiae of

Got it, so the widow living on a fixed income, in her modest home that was once in a lower middle class neighborhood that has now gentrified, is forced out so that someone really contributing to society (like FANG employee) can live closer

Ask any competitive person how much fun they have competing when nothing is on the line (e.g. playing simulated poker or cash poker) and I think you have your answer.

I agree that prison truly is an epidemic, and think putting people in prison for the purchase or possession of personal quantities of drugs is unreasonably cruel

I think the this actually the best argument for some form of legalization, but given the amount of crime committed by drug users/abusers (not including drug trade related crime) the number in the US is comparable. If people who use&#x2

Unless you think drug use and substance abuse would go down as result of legalization, I don’t know how you can make that assertion

There are three types of violent crime associated with drugs, 1) crime to obtain money for a drug habit, 2) crime as result of the drug trade, 3) crime while under the influence (dwi/traffic fatalities, assaults, etc) You are referring

I agree, but I’ve personally never been able to disentangle the legalization Vs addiction and prison argument: Legalization = less users being incarcerated (probably a good thing) There is a high correlation between violent crime and substa

Gross generalization, but my suspicion is that it’s not the all day staring at computer (that’s most adults these days) but also many CS types spend their free time in front of a screen as well…

Seems a simple way would be that people who have assets seized should get the greater of a) $20k OR b) 3x the value of items seized AND c) attorneys fees At least this allows 1) people to litigate smaller seizures 2) creates disincentives f

I think there is another element involved - there is the desire not to ripped off. Many luxury goods are aesthetically pleasing, but total rip offs. Take the ridiculous fad of designer shower sandals/slides, an adidas one costs $25-$35
