I would also point out that the author conflate two tightly-coupled but distinct spheres - the political and the economic. China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore have all been ma…

Runners are pedestrians, too?

One interesting thing to note is that this allows for the exact quantification ("pricing") of various forms of dissent. If a large enough segment of the population is willing to pa…

If you want to see the impact of profoundly cheap labor in a modern country, go to India. When I was there last winter, it was fascinating to see how many things were done by simpl…

Banker here. We actually have automated and outsourced quite a bit of the drudgery, although doing it within the framework of Excel and PowerPoint often requires some pretty strang…

I actually like and use sheets (it's much better than Excel for simple and/or non-analytical use cases), so when I use Excel for something, it's because I want to use Excel for tha…

No. The middle class in the US and other highly developed nations is hurting, but by any global measure, this group of people is actually relatively wealthy. The global middle clas…

There is TONS of investment capital sitting on the sidelines looking for decent returns at the moment. Capital availability is not the issue here.

I have the same setup, as well as a 15" retina MBP. Each one is optimized for different use cases, but it's amusing that a machine that ran me ~$400 is better for a lot of things t…

Couldn't agree more. As a Jew, this sort of behavior makes me furious and embarrassed.

It failed on "Are you sure that's a good idea?"

Tablets and mobile devices are primarily consumption devices, and are ill-suited for creating anything. However, going by the 90/9/1 rule, there's a much bigger potential set of co…

If you know something about the industry, could you recommend some good alternatives?

Lease terms that prohibit or limit subtenancy (especially without the express consent of the owner) are nothing new, and certainly not a reaction to AirBnB.

> If you don't want your tenants doing this, then make it against the terms of your rental agreement. It's actually a violation of most standard residential rental agreements; sub-…

>I would even argue that this, more than any other thing they could say, is the number one argument Nazis use to reel people in. I'm sorry, could you clarify this? I'm hardly an ex…

Normally, I'm fairly (unconsciously) biased against such 'longhairs,' but in the case of Lanier, my impression is that he is, in fact, extremely intelligent. I'd highly encourage y…
