I stand by this: Physicians in the US are some of the only people who are paid what they deserve, in terms of authentic human value delivered. And only in the US are they paid what…

Speaking from experience, the only people who can afford to live as nursing home staff (typically LPNs) are the poor. In my metro area, only the presence of a large low-income high…

Nah I have it too

I think most people with an understanding of economics would agree that more supply is needed. The problem is, zoning laws are made by the cities themselves, which means they are u…

this person doesn't understand spectrums

The program in question mainly benefits small and medium sized businesses, Amazon was an exception. So no, in fact, Amazon was not playing by any different rules than any other bus…

Excellent quote. Thank you for sharing.

Yes! This book also got me to read Walden by Henry David Thoreau, which was also life changing. I never fully understood what Pirsig meant by Quality though. I could not understand…

Also consider that it is important to the people who have read them. Many people claim that reading Dostoevsky changed their lives, gave them much more purpose, and helped them def…

Follow your inner voice. Sounds like it’s telling you to look seriously at grad school. Most people I find will tell you to not do it, but I say go for it. Don’t worry about the so…

True. I love Cal Newport but he’s a great example of this. Best thing is that if you read a lot of books you get a quick easy feel for whether a book will be in the first or second…

A little presumptuous to say group narratives and commitment are stupid. These are components of shared understandings of reality, which is what allows society to function and peop…

The problem with your analysis is that the OP should be read like a poem, not an essay. That's my take, at least.

> New England will probably be the last region to get decent renewable adoption. Solar panels don't work as well because they're far north and get a number of cloudy days... Wrong.…

It's my understanding that you can use Django's Form classes to replicate any POST/UPDATE/DELETE operations you'd like to use DRF for. I'm not sure what else DRF gets you besides m…

> To me, the Django project exudes the stubbornness of the developers who maintain it because rather than fixing these problems they've decided to write this page about how it's yo…

Well, that’s a dumb feature. Very counterintuitive, requires you to stop and think, and there’s a high probability that it’ll be misunderstood at first glance. I hate things like t…

Porque no los dos?

How is Spotify raising capital from this if it's not selling shares directly? Will it wait until later to offer stock directly to the markets?

Theory like this deserves a thorough review. The classic example oversimplifies, leaving out many important factors - such as what happens when jobs are moved around, and where a n…

There are several problems with this analysis. The first major problem is that the article presents "promised benefits" - equal to the sum of all future pension payouts, which can …

Has anyone asked how many hours or miles that self-driving car drove autonomously before the fatality? It could very well be that the accident proves that, while horrible, self-dri…

No problem! And a 7.1% YTM isn't exactly a vote of confidence either, so your point still stands...

Keep in mind that new car sales in the US are at their lowest since 2010, and not getting any higher, so if anything there is also a possibility that Ford might make less money in …

7.1% is not the coupon rate, it's the yield to maturity.
