    While this is true they are among the worst polluters in the EU. England, Spain, France, even italy has a better CO2 balance than Germany per kWH. The amount of energy that comes f…

    Just because they fully developed doesn’t mean the argument they are presenting isn’t logical. It might not be, and that might be because they aren’t fully developed, but you would…

    In the case of the US I think you mean Amtrak is nationalized? But that’s passenger rail. The us has a private freight rail system, which is from what I understand, is one of the b…

    Uuuu, While the analogy is nice, I doubt that taxes are decided upon like an engineer deciding on damping coefficients. An engineer has a specification and tries to hit that spec. …

    I think it depends. If the union is voluntary its not forced. But often membership isn’t voluntary. The relationship between you and your employer, however is. Many people choose n…

    “ The spoils of technology went straight to the top while workers switched to new jobs that pay horribly.” I have a hard time believing you believe that most people switched to a w…

    Agree, the language is problematic. But unfortunately companies sometimes use the law to take away that right. Additionally, right to repair sometimes means going beyond the defaul…

    Inflation is a really bad example of a failure of economic theory. First, just because the field might understand how to avoid inflation, doesn’t mean that is actually implemented.…

    This is what REALLY bugs me about Germany in general. There is a cultural belief that germans are data driven and unemotional in their decision making. That they are the wise leade…

    China really only started prospering after the creation of special economic zones, no? And today while there heavy state influence at the largest firms, the rest of the country pre…

    What bothers me about this right here is that at one time or another one of these was heralded as THE solution that would alleviate poverty. Why is it always food stamps, minimum w…

    You implied that due to lack of positive right’s you had no inclination to care about the negative one. As a result I was led to believe that you didn’t understand the difference a…

    There are positive and negative rights. Everything you mentioned in the first sentence is a positive right while the second is a negative right. A right to healthcare implies that …

    I meant to ask if the theory is true, it should work for any number, until marginal propensity to spend is equal amongst everyone. My point being that a theory should be general. O…

    If that’s true why not raise the minimum wage to 30$? Why not 100$?

    This principle would just be summed up as an inelastic good in economic terms. Market forces apply wether or not we want them too. To me it seems, this would result in us being wil…

    I am sure your right about the eyes. But I would posit that most people wouldn’t know uncalibrated from calibrated anyhow. So seems like a moot point. As to binning LEDs that works…

    Comment #35989897

    It is not possible to calibrate it away without knowing what the central wavelength of the LED is. That would require a spectrometer and if you manage to build one on chip per pixe…

    LEDs central wavelength changes with current. Some flashlight enthusiasts will not touch current regulation and prefer to use PWM because that means the color output does not chang…

    Just saying a bunch of places that have mass transport does not address his question if there are systems where massive subsidies aren’t involved in their creation. I do not know w…

    -textiles: I think as soon as you recommend to reduce someone’s quality of life you can forget about it. I agree with a lot of the other recommendations, but telling someone to sta…

    I wasn’t arguing it. I was saying that the response failed to actually address the GP in the way you have.

    I don't think you addressed any of his points. Let’s say americans don’t understand what their rights to speech mean. It doesn’t matter since you didn’t repudiate the fact that the…

    How is hoping they fail going to improve things? Wouldn’t you rather hope they fix it and then maybe lower their prices as a way to get back customers?
