Is it ridiculous to expect an economy, such as the US, to produce things of value? The author of the post you are responding to has a valid point. Consumption alone isn't sustainab…

A controversial statement to some, but IMO the US is a Corporatocracy more than a Federal Constitutional Republic. More "Modern Corporate Capitalism", less Free-market Capitalism. …

In a more perfect world, I totally agree. But with American average savings so low and with the average level of financial literacy so low, expecting half of America to join the ra…

I'm sorry, I don't follow the logic here. Do you mind elaborating? I see some correlation between SV remote working and COVID, but don't understand how mortgage backed securities p…

I might be missing something, but not sure why this was downvoted. Deposits Depositors >$250k are well aware of FDIC and the risk associated with money in their bank. They really s…

> Apple has 50 billion in reserves, do you think they can find 200 thousand banks to spread that around? Good question and of course, that's not likely. But then 50B in reserves is…

Also, holding all of your fiat in a single bank or financial instrument is usually not a great idea. Diversification is important to any relatively stable financial position. E.g: …

I believe that would be the FDIC, which is funded by banks (its deposit insurance), right?

True, it doesn't seem likely to apply to the government itself. I'm not a lawyer, but my interpretation is that it may apply to credit bureaus and data brokers. As well, for better…

I love that you took action to make your idea a reality. That's a trait that not everyone shares, from my experience. Writing is a wonderful way to express yourself creatively. I c…

> Free market: an economic system in which prices are determined by unrestricted competition between privately owned businesses. Interesting concept, I wonder if it works.

Brilliant. People will often watch something they dislike with more intensity than something they like. The number of dislikes isn't the reason they want to watch it, it's the idea…

Promise resolution tracking for political choices could be a useful tool. With each promise tracked you could produce a percent which could be displayed with the candidates picture…

Lol, absolutely. Austin may have been the right guy to start the company, but IMHO, he should've handed it off to someone with a background in education a long time ago.

Things might have changed since I finished the program, but their career services were effective for me.

I think the problem is that their part time outcomes were much smaller than full time. And it wasn't entirely an instructor or curriculum related problem. You are correct that scho…

My ISA with lambda is for $30k USD that I started paying after I landed a job. There is no additional tuition. Program is less than a year. That's significantly cheaper than any of…

I think this is correct, re: the Pareto principle. I'm a Lambda grad (Full stack web, not DS) and at the end of the program, I was knowledgeable about a lot more than I understood;…

I believe the OP's point was that those things (Agent orange, tobacco cancer, etc) which our society almost universally agree upon were once, themselves, targeted by dis/misinforma…

For the brief amount of time I was your student at Lambda, you made a huge impression. Beyond this tutorial, you're a gifted teacher and inspirational person. Much respect and love…

I agree. Tools exist, for analysts and engineers (MS Access comes to mind for the analyst, python for the engineer), that would rectify the problem. And I think it's a fair assumpt…

Really interesting point of view. I have some opinions about your logic and I in no way am trying to attack you. I disagree... the irony is not lost on me, either. Comparing: - Rea…

I think I can help provide some proof. First - the article talks about the message delivery via push notification. The push notification is, essentially, a JSON object. The relevan…

2d proto-"Ready Player One" This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time; brilliant. Is this open source? If so, I would love to contribute.
