I don't have an economics or finance background. But why could there not be a taxable event for the loan amount when it is made? Sure, maybe it gets taxed at a lower rate than even…

Having worked at non-profits, the distribution of wages can be unlike anything ever seen at for-profit corporations and has made me become quite cynical. At a couple of the organiz…

You might be right. But I just want to add that this housing asset bubble is global in nature. We here in Canada have been running the interest rate increase experiment ahead of th…

Does it say if the researchers knew his family members' names in advance? Wouldn't the "a ha!" moment be when the patient shares something that the researchers couldn't possibly fi…

For macOS at least, the cause of this is the ECM driver that is used for the Realtek 8153. If you're lucky enough to find a device that has the Realtek 8156 chipset, which I believ…

At least with respect to macOS, the Realtek 8153 chipsets in these docks suffer from having to use the built-in ECM driver. If you're on Apple Silicon, that's your only option. If …

The donor is anonymous but their characteristics are heavily marketed. In cases like this one, parents feel like they were intentionally misled: promised one thing and sold somethi…

I know it sounds farfetched but hear me out. Stranger things have happened. Bitcoin is a speculative asset like housing and used cars currently are in 2022. But the similarities en…

I'm somewhat using it as a stand-in, but I do have this gut feeling that bitcoin has a few characteristics that will make it the standard (more on this later). I also think there w…

I used to think like this. But the older I get the more cynical I become. In massively corrupt environments, everybody needs to appear to be playing the game by the rules when it c…

Russia has a 10:1 advantage to the US in tactical nukes. They have all sorts of creative nuclear devices that can very much be used in theatre without triggering a MAD scenario. Wh…

Brands like Levis never weigh in on controversial issues until they've hit a certain inflection point of public discourse and it is clear where the majority of society will land on…

Agreed, but there's a higher baseline mental overhead due to increased complexity of Swift that Objective-C doesn't have, at least once you get past the weird square bracket syntax…

Apple's move to Swift and away from Objective-C won't be viewed as the no-brainer obvious decision with positive results 10 years from now, at least when both technical and busines…

The FLQ kidnapped a British cabinet minister then murdered a Quebec politician responsible for immigration. There's a lot more to the October Crisis and the invocation of the War M…

The article makes no mention of the warming predating the industrial revolution. Rather, the quote below indicates a marked change in temperature at the beginning of the 20th centu…

The Chinese and Russians just completed joint military exercises for the first time on Chinese mainland soil. It’s a ratcheting up of their version of NATO - the Shanghai Cooperati…

I'm from Canada and we were taught something similar as early as grade school. But that was back in the 1990s and I'm not sure if it's currently part of the curriculum or if this w…

The Canada Revenue Agency is very clear about how they are interpret tax law here. If it’s a gift from a non-employer then it’s most certainly not taxable. There is no gift tax. Ho…

I was piling on but could have done a better job with the opening statement to articulate this, yes. I’ll take every opportunity to point out the Nobel prize issue because I think …

To be fair it's not a real Nobel prize. It's paid for by a bank and it was first issued in 1968. One of Nobel's descendants is on record speculating that Nobel would never have agr…

The 'M.B.A.-ization' of the corporate west -- it's not just the U.S. where this is happening -- is in some ways a specific example of a more general problem in which professions th…

I'm running it on GeForce NOW with all settings turned to highest possible (Ultra where possible, High, and one Psycho). I also have ray tracing on Quality mode and I am at an utte…

I agree. Even releasing the original videos showing the UFOs being tracked was likely sending a signal to an adversary. The fact that the objects were being tracked by commodity Na…

Here's an interesting video from another MD who provides some much needed nuance to Kyle-Sidell's insights. https://youtu.be/Fz2gyhto-iI?t=767
