This sounds like a sort of Malthusian trap like argument. The economy is de-materializing while continuing to grow so I don’t think this paradox is a stable truth.

It’s to prevent flash crashes. If you don’t like the rules of the exchange you can always trade your securities elsewhere (eg otc)

housing is a market so low vacancy == price increases. That's the actual story. This is the case in markets more generally (eg, wage increases tend to be higher when unemployment i…

Yea, exactly. Housing price increases and low vacancy rates "should" be correlated (eg, not enough supply in the market) and in fact are, which the original article's argument comp…

Counter argument: SF has one of the lowest vacancy rates in the country. https://sf.curbed.com/2019/3/21/18276227/vacancy-rate-san-jo... This article is promoting a bad faith argum…

This author made a small amount of fame a few years back (2012) claiming the dx format is dead. He was obviously wrong about that. He’s wrong about this, too.

this is a thing, happened to me today in fact on a neighborhood street.

in strictly legal sense you can if you dismount... There are other options (aka "box turn")

bootcamps have been around for only a few years so that's also likely filtering based on years of experience.

I'd suggest 90-100% creating software; 0-10% algorithms. The percentage on algorithms should be directly applicable to what you're working on. In practice, algorithmic knowledge pr…

I assume he means something like the Moritz's article about China's "996" work hours expectation and its negative reception in silicon valley press.

what's the tl;dr? I only read the primae facie rights section and 1) this is reasoning by analogy, 2) the analogies don't make sense..

The issue is that distributional losses historically have been significantly underestimated in terms of scale and persistence or glossed over as insignificant. Economists tradition…

While no economist is yet advocating tariffs, except perhaps Peter Navarro (who's not taken that seriously), the attitude among economists that free trade is unequivocally a good t…

> There will always be demand for interest bearing risk free government debt. This is really naive. Question is always at what price? I could argue there is always a demand for the…

> higher interest rates lead to higher net income to the private sector which is a bit inflationary. There a paper for this? low interest rates tend to be associated with poor econ…

Foreign demand for USD does in effect lower US govt borrowing costs given our situation of having a fairly large trade deficit as well. Petroleum is one example of foreign USD dema…

It requires ~250W. Most portable USB batteries you can buy put out like 20W or so, this idea isn't really feasible.

There's a saying "90% of life just showing up". Being consistent is more important than anything else, so the only suggestion I can give is to find something you actually do consis…

Of course luck and any inherited privilege matter a ton when considering all factors. I'm thinking of trajectory, some people keep on advancing in their careers, others get stuck o…

Yes, big 5 is a good model for disposition. However, to be precise, conscientiousness isn't the same thing as grit. To illustrate the distinction, look at John McCain - he embodies…

You're (mostly) missing the point. This is, more or less, the point... "Yes, some careers do require smarts. But even as high intelligence is increasingly treated as a job prerequi…

The takeaway I got is that it seems like the React stack has worse or non-existent separation of concerns and thus it'll affect how your frontend engineers work, possibly to their …

the irony is that you're far more likely to get killed in a car accident than by a serial killer on public transit.
