An iphone is as disposable as a kleenex. It is not an asset, at least not a better one than a 250 phone.

Yeah just like owners of real estate are "hodlers" right? Keep pooring it on

It is usually a case of "the lady doth protest too much". They project their own emotionality onto others while professing to follow logic and restraint. I'm not a trained psychologist by any means but is the modern cultural

Nah, too busy inefficiently and ineffectually spending on the homeless to care about actual tax payers.

Well, if no one listens to you why even make the effort to keep in touch. That's a different problem and solved by Twitter and similar

If the FPGA is a closed-design are we really that better off?

Depends on how you measure it. The government keeps shifting the goalposts and the current measurement is little related to what a consumer faces. Inflation is measured differently today from the 90s and both different from 80s IIRC. For fu

Not maybe, it is supply and demand. IF the supply of remote labor does increase then the share of economic profit going to capital also increases. (i.e. Employers keep more of the profits as opposed to sharing)

Suppose the studies showing alcohol is bad were not suppressed? (Not even caring whether it is actually true or not.) Then what is the next step?

Meanwhile, what's the slogan being pushed by the World Economic Forum: "2030: you'll own nothing and you'll be happy." Raite...

The nazi regime was the most sentimental thing ever. It was vicious AF but they were all so romantic and corny as it came to the german nation and its heroes. All those calls for patriotism, and nationalism, where if anything emotional. Why

Imagine it being capable of enforcing something like which executables you are able to load... Quite in the vein of Apple sending the executables hash to some random server

Now you're just repeating definitions. I'll ask you this, why would any one give a damn about "anthropogenic climate change" if they did not have some theory in their heads about "the final destiny of humankind&quot

That is such a cliched, average atheist argument. Btw, even taking a very atheistic perspective, only focused on how humanity evolved (which is a selfish process in spite of your future protestations of how you have trascended it) we can s

Hmmmm isn't climate change and enviromentalism in general the eschatology of the average modern atheist? And they do proselytize quite a bit. The average atheist is as separate from the process of science as the average NFL fan is from

It's ok, no one forced you to read it I hope.

Could this work as a loophole, pay the CEO something nominally sane. Give them the rest in stocks held in a trust they are beneficiaries of?

How naive to think salaries are not paid out of that wealth

Then they will realize the majority of landlords already don't live there: domestic and foreign investors.

I mean when the same family has had the Governor's office for 36 years out of the past 60 years, it begins to smell fishy or at least decaying.

Funny how those 3 cities are similarly managed politcially speaking.

Correlation is not causation, but maybe you should read them.

This certainly took a long time in planning.

That's just like your belief, the actual economics do not support this. The only thing that might change is the distribution of economic surplus (as in capital gets a larger share of the economic surplus versus labor). You might argue

Yes but the actual settlement was much slower, which put a bound on it. Plus, the risks involved were way higher due to speed of communication. One might easily own businesses in different countries today, but at 100 years ago. One needed t

Only some stuff is cheaper, but the important stuff is the same or more expensive than before (housing, education, stocks).
