The testing is NOT skipped. This is a misunderstanding of 510(k). The device still has to go through testing, validation and verification. It is a very detailed process and follows…

Don't forget the resources and money required to bring X to the limited attention of the regulators and to ensure the regulation is sufficiently up to date and not subject to captu…

And putting resources towards lowering that barrier would go significantly further than any regulation. Regulation is by nature slow and highly susceptible to corruption or stagnat…

Liability still exists in a free market. Regulations are government's way of giving you immunity from liability laws, or not enacting them, in exchange for doing things a very spec…

Not quite. The claims, in the only one I've seen regarding RAW compression, are for a specific pre-emphasis curve being applied to the raw data, then the raw data being compressed …

On the SSD chip sure. This looks like a resistor on the data line. The resistor would certainly not get to reflow temp.

The most charitable way I can read their statement is that the resistors are too large for the pad, and along with poor solder material it forms a weak joint which breaks over time…

The issue is not with HDMI. The audio data is sent between each frame. The lag comes from the fact that TVs apply post-processing to video which causes it to lag relative to audio.…

I am going to assume that you are OK with fractional reserve banking so I won't talk about why that is necessary as a function in an economy. If I understand you correctly, you're …

Which is what businesses should have used instead of putting hundred of millions in a bank. Banks can't magically change economics. Money markets were created exactly for this purp…

Money markets also invest in highly liquid instruments so their prices are marked to market daily and traded faster than HTM portfolios. Therefore they get to adjust faster to macr…

That wouldn't be a store of value in the sense of actual purchasing power because you're tied to the inflationary effect of that currency. If you mean an account that holds its abs…

> That's because the economics are a scam. No. It means there is someone in China who is willing to do the work cheaper than someone in Europe. If you beleieve they should be paid …

You can increase your margins by double digits and still account for a small fraction of the overall increase. The determining factor is net profit of the grocery industry which is…

You are assuming there is a magical threshold for "bribing" wealth that capitalism enables. Second point, wealth is by definition a creature of rarity. The same is true of influenc…

You are suggesting that capitalism creates wealth and wealth can be used to bribe political leaders correct? What am I missing?

You are railing against democracy, voting and election campaigns. You're rightly pointing out flaws in them. The solutions that have been proposed for those flaws are called small …

The banks can maintain a central body with insurance to bail out the failed ones which is essentially what FDIC is. That part isn't the government stepping in. The step in part is …

Aka crony capitalism, aka socialism with some free market features.

What do you mean by incentivise? People being allowed to have opinions? What part of free enterprise incentivises the Congress to enable this?

Comerica doesn't look so great these days either. I expect something to pop off there in the next little while. I would diversify away from them as well.

There is no limit on the waste, and therefore no market. It is an arbitrary price placed by politicians. Imagine if oil prices were not dicated by a market and a by a production ca…

The younger owners tend to also vote based on social "wedge" issues which means they don't need to be catered to on this issue whereas asset owners tend to vote based on their inte…

I see what you mean. I agree with you that it is incorrect to say that it is not innovative, or new, or useful. Those don't always correlate with monetary value. The author however…
