I hope I don't drive people nuts when I do the same.

I guess my messed up reasoning when I am reading a sentence...

$ = dollar

$20 = Dollar Twenty

Time to pressure congress to change this.

A lot of people see SCOTUS decisions and think the matter closed, but congress with the flick of a pen could completely ban arbitration for employee contracts.

The employer/employee relationship is by its nature power imbalanced. If employers band together and all require arbitration (as they likely will via a standardised templated contract) employees cannot do much.
I'm actually reading Crime and Punishment now, and the edition I'm reading has pretty frequent footnotes explaining all the Russian cultural references. But really, it goes beyond being Russian, doesn't it? You'd miss stuff if you weren't very familiar with the Bible, or by virtue of the fact that the Imperial Russian system it's set in no longer exists, or if you hadn't read Hugo or Pushkin, or a million other things. I'm not sure anybody catches everything casually reading the book, or even through years of study.

Hemingway himself considered himself pretty influenced by Russian authors. It's often speculated that his terse writing was in part influenced by Constance Garnett's translations of them.

> It is unlikely that Congress wished to confer a right to class or collective actions in §7, since those procedures were hardly known when the NLRA was adopted in 1935.

Kind of funny they use this as justification considering everything else they've upheld that was adopted decades prior to this without knowledge of modern custom or technology. Convenient argument when it's serving their purpose.
By writing women, I am alluding to the fact that many of almost 50% of the population might not have the muscle mass and/or biological build to swap out tires. It's not sexist, it's just shorthand for writing all those words. It doesn't make sense to specify older men (or women) as I would think they are generally precluded from conversations about activities requiring physical strength, so it would be superfluous.

Some women are stronger than others, some aren't. But in my experience, women will probably have problems getting a lug nut off that has been tightened too tight with an air tool and/or is rusted. I personally have had problems getting them off, even with a breaker bar, and I wouldn't expect everyone with a car to go out and buy a breaker bar either.

The meat of my comment was that it might be reasonable to expect a large portion of the population to not be able to do what many think are simple routine car repairs, such as brake jobs, and I attempted to prove it by illustrating an example.
Not sure if that's how I would read it. They are seeing falling sales of something that is often considered a "fake" Porsche (gasp, it has 4 doors!). The article makes a much stronger case than the CEO that it is due to Tesla.

Panamera isn't Porsche's bread and butter in any case, unlike Model S for Tesla.. When people start abandoning Carreras for Teslas, then it will be time for them to worry. But I am not sure people buying Carreras and alike would stand for Tesla's quality.

In any case it will end up with there being more electric cars from different makes, which is probably a good thing. Maybe somebody will come up with a way to make them usable to a general populace without too many compromises.
"Not having intrinsic value" is a prerequisite for a viable currency. The Dollar doesn't have intrinsic value either.

> Every dollar starts its life when the US Government spends it or gives it away in a two-sided transaction.

This is a common but enduring myth.

The vast majority of dollars are created when banks give out loans.

> There is no guarantee that the government will honor the claims that the outstanding dollars represent

Indeed, they don't even have enough resources to do so. The only way any currency retains value is if a large enough mass of people believe it to have value.

Some of your other arguments are strawmen:

> The whole point of BitCoin is that there is no central issuer and that is what makes it so great.

That's part of what makes it great. For me the most important part of what makes it great is that you don't have the risk of the bank deciding they don't like what you're doing and shutting down your account. Because your money is represented by a "number you just made up" (i.e. a private key), there is nobody who can revoke your access to your money.

> Just like gold, BitCoin has intrinsic value in the effort it takes to mine.

> But to mine a BitCoin I must solve a very difficult math problem, so value of the solution to that problem is captured in the BitCoin created.

Mining needs to be difficult so that it can't be faked. That's it. Mining creates no value in and of itself, and nobody is claiming it does.

This quote was posted in response to a question about the Mac App Store and is taken out of context here. We’d strongly encourage anyone looking to subscribe but use standalone vaults to do so through our website, rather than the Mac App Store. I can’t guarantee that’ll be a viable setup through the Mac App Store. When done through our website though it definitely is. It isn’t the recommended path (as you are paying for features you won’t be able to use), but it is possible.

I’m sorry for any confusion caused by the comment. Hopefully this clarifies.

It's interesting to me how the problem of "who owns what parts of this river?" is playing out in so many parts of the world. Off the top of my head we have the Nile with Egypt and Ethiopia, the Yangtze (edit: this should be Mekong) with China and much of southeast Asia, the Murray river in southwest Australia (bickering states rather than countries, but still) . . . and this is just what I've read in the Economist this year.

Is this really that new? Has damming technology only recently made these issues relevant?
> They lacked the ability to see how colonization would provide jobs and reduce crime by allowing people that don't fit well in society an outlet like the US had with its Western frontier.

I’m not sure that criminals and other social misfits would be welcome in space exploration / colonization. Space is a harsh environment that requires cooperative behavior just to stay alive. Colonization occurred in places where there was oxygen, food and water. The main skills needed were very basic survival skills, and a willingness to murder the non-European (and sometimes European) locals that got in the way.

We are a long way away from the point where we could tolerate a showdown at high noon in space, though that might make for a profitable summer blockbuster.

This isn't disappointing at all as it reflects the state of the laws as they're currently on the books. Desiring or determining a court ruling based upon what you'd like the law to be rather than how it's currently written opens the door for legislation from the bench.

If workers want the law changed to ban arbitration clauses then they should ask their representatives to pass legislation to do exactly that. And if said representatives won't do so then they should elect someone else next election cycle who will.

They are in platform specific code, manipulating CoreFoundation types (specifically a CFMutableArray), so your cross-platform homebrew sort suggestion is out of scope here. Any sorting function would need to be CoreFoundation (iOS/watchOS/macOS) specific.

When possible, it would of course be best to use stdlib functionality, which would implicitly be cross-platform. Writing it yourself, or pulling in third-party libs to do it ranks way below stdlib, although I can't agree with myself whether doing so is better or worse than using OS-specific standard frameworks. Regardless, it is out of scope in this example.

"The dollar represents a claim against the government."

What does this even mean? A claim means that I can turn in the piece of paper and get something back. I can turn in my coat check claim paper and get my coat back. Under a gold standard, I can turn in my paper bill and get gold back. But we are no longer under a gold standard. What is the thing I get back with regards to a dollar?

The actual thing bootstrapping the value of a dollar is that the dollar is legal tender for paying taxes and for "all debts public and private." The dollar isn't a claim against the government -- it's a token than can extinguish the government's claim over you.
> There is no (intentional) intrinsic value to the problem you are solving when you mine a new BitCoin. If you were looking for interesting and valuable solutions to compute, you would almost certainly not pick any of the ones have been found as a result of BitCoin mining.

I agree that Bitcoin doesn’t have an intrinsic value, but I think he is missing the argument people actually make. The value isn’t in the problem they solve, but the power spent to solve it. At least, that is what I have always heard.

I also don't believe it's true. The entire nature of science is that theories are modified or discarded as new empirical evidence disproves them.
