The "signal path" is simply the presence of more money, which means that purchasers have more money to pay.

I think what the daughter was saying is that the abuse and craziness of her father would, in a sense, give some explanation for her own initially troubled path.

Very much so: the Acer Predator gaming laptops have been great for me. They suspend/resume like a champ and have the horsepower for Linux Steam gaming. Their price point is excellent for what you get. Of course they look ridiculous, ar

Is this the best path to improving computational power efficiency in the next decades?

ETFs do pay out dividends from the underlying stocks. This does not require you to look at the account (in the US you will get a form at the end of the year summarizing what you have to pay taxes on).

When 95% of the people in the world are stamp-collectors, and stamp-collecting is a harmful activity, then yes ... I would wear that label proudly.

Well done, but politically charged. For example, why don't we see an item like "Human activity causes general climate warming trend but all-cause climate-related deaths (flood, drought, extreme temperatures) continue massive trend

As I said, this concept also applies to other asset classes inflated by QE, such as stocks. I didn't say the house was the primary house (in which case there is some capital gain exclusion complicating matters anyway). So, no.

QE may make "the rich" seem richer in nominal terms, but in reality they are generally poorer. Here is what I mean: If the house I paid $250,000 for ten years ago is now "worth" $1,000,000 due to asset inflation arisin

The idea that there are "ever-increasing levels of poverty" in western democracies is transparently false. Would you like to try to provide some evidence for that?

As a father also, I want to reassure you that you have no cause for concern: this condition only occurs in very small populations that are at risk of deportation from liberal western countries.

The disease seems to be contagious--socially contagious. By this I mean that once it is realized that having a child lie motionless in bed is an effective way to block deportation proceedings, thanks to the extremely accommodating Swedish i

My impression, after viewing the documentary "Life Overtakes Me" some time ago, is that the answer to this question is: to avoid deportation by feigning mental illness.

No, the issue in question here is sustained sailing faster than the wind directly downwind, which is not what water yachts and sailboats are doing. The connection (belt, gear) between the wheels and the propeller is necessary to do the fo

The two companies named are of course receiving PPP "loans". So they are literally being paid, by you (American taxpayer), to annoy you. https://www.federalpay.org/paycheck-protection-program/r-squ... https:

The responses are valid as far as they go, but the larger point is that the government in a jurisdiction is free to inflate its own currency at great benefit to itself while simultaneously extracting taxes on fictitious "gains" of

Possibly funny thought: If you have to declare a capital gain on every BTC purchase of a cup of coffee, why can't you declare a capital loss every time you spend dollars that you earned long ago, and which have decreased significantly

I don't believe this claim from their web site: "you can still run your favourite apps…, conveniently access your bank accounts". If you don't have access to Play Store, you have no easy way to install your favorite apps

Yes, I would certainly think that. Especially since given the timing of the article those on ventilators when the article was written probably had been on the ventilators for longer times on average, which doesn't bode well for them. A

Thanks for the link. In the paper I see no direct comparison between COVID response to ventilation vs ARDS response to ventilation, but I think I understand that you say the responses are similar, based on your experience. Am I getting that

I said nothing even approximately like "all those people are probably going to die anyway" and that is not, in fact, what I think! It is offensive that you would make up something like that and claim that is what I said. What a gr

I appreciate the effort, but it looks like we aren't going to need nearly as many ventilators as expected because COVID lung problems are different than other lung conditions and seem not to respond well to invasive ventilation. https

This is the view advanced by Benjamin Wittes, made popular in a recent NPR piece which you may have heard or read. I am not convinced it is right. Have you read the rebuttal by David Brick, currently the first comment on https://

Forced labor of any sort just seems tricky especially when there is a racial disparity among those so penalized. Prison work programs also seem like a good idea ("teach a trade" etc.) but then they are couched as essentially slave

The "had to essentially work for the school doing e.g. grounds keeping and other tasks" seems problematic.
